WOW, no offense but i thought my life was bad. are all those things true? if they are you're only 15 so it's not too late to turn your life around. it isn't a total shocker to me cuz we live in a society where this kind of thing happens everyday. i hope that things work out for you. and no matter how bad your life is, never consider suicide, it's not worth it.

Hey wow, i don't know what to say. I like the idea of writing a letter to yourself. Anyway, the topic is disturbing frankly. I really think you oughta help yourself out ya know? For the well being of YOU. You are important to everyone around you........don't waste yourself around doing stupid things for stupid reasons. Think smart....... i really do hope things work out......keep posting! I'd love to see how you're working this out.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |

Wow Pam...those are all really important questions to ask...i'm 15 too and i have soo much of my life ahead of me as do you so of course there is time to change. Your letter to yourself reminds me exactly of a friend of mine, also named pam and the same age....who is exactly like you...but i dont think she's willing to change...she's become stuck in her label and is very protective of who she is and is scared to change...but dont be scared...embrace the fact that you can. The fact that your mind is asking you questions about these things has to be telling you something...it probably means that deep down inside you want to be someone different. Being a teenager is all about finding who you are...so go ahead and change if it makes you happy..and if your friends are real then changing who you are wont make the abandon you. Great letter hun... |

I don't want to make know assumptions not actually knowing you but this poem shows that you do have a desire to change, but I think you are just a bit scared. just follow your heart, and continue to question yourself 'till you find the answers. I think xShUgArHiGhx has given you great advise... do what makes you truely happy and proud. keep your head up you have alot of living ahead of you.

You've penned some powerful questions, and disturbing thoughts too Pam. Everyone seems to be providing good advice above, and I agree. If you've reached a point where you are asking yourself these questions, that is a very positive step forward. You deserve the best you can offer yourself and if this is true to life ... then your child also. That type of change can only come from you. Life is difficult enough without making decisions we know can harm ourselves and be destructive. Keep thinking it through, and realize that you still have a whole world ahead of you ... it's up to you to decide which direction you'd like that path to take. I'd like to point you to a poem (and the responses) I posted here that I wrote when I was 18 (about 20 years ago). I changed my whole world around, got rid of some unworthy "friends" and started a'new. It was a turning point, and now looking back ... I'm soooooo glad I did. I hate to think what the past 20 years would have been like if I hadn't asked myself some tough questions too back then. /pip/Forum36/HTML/000310.html Best wishes and hugs to you, /Kit |

This poem was good, it really expressed your thoughts well. Ditto to everyone who has already posted, in my opinion their advice is great. It's not too late to turn your life around, in fact, it just might be the perfect time.

Hey now, this was really well written. I'm sure not one of us out here is a saint, thus we should not criticize you in the least. However, you seem to want to change. I went through this a couple of years ago.My friends were druggies, and gothic- marilyn manson people if ya catch my drift. I was a good, loyal friend. I supported them. I helped them, I defended them. When it was all said and done, all I had left was me. That's it. You see, that's all you really have to be sure of. I went through a period of lonliness, I now refer to it as my "transition phase". I'm sorry you are going through this, but you need to help yourself, before you worry 'bout your friends. You can do better, even if you have to be alone for a while. Good luck.xoxo Jenn "Guess I'm not smart, I let you un-nerve me, I let you control me; afraid the truth would hurt me, when it's you that hurts me more." TLC |

Wow geeez woman. I wasn't quite expecting that. Okay well 15 isn't too late. It's a lot to ask of you to suddenly change, and it must seem extremely hard. But it seems you WANT to change. If I were you, I'd start out small, but be sure to stop dangerous habits fast, really fast. I really don't have much experience in that kind of problem, so I don't really know what to tell you. Trust that little voice inside your head and hang in there. Good luck please keep posting Bel (can't spell!!) [This message has been edited by Isabel Galaxia (edited 11-19-2000).] |

OMG...this has kinda bothered me. It's very disturbing to see someone go thru all this. At least now you are asking yourself the right questions. Now, it's time for you to figure out the right answers. And i do hope you find them. Actually, I know you will. Keep your head up girl, and keep sharing. I see no changes, wake up in the morning I ask myself, "Is life worth living or should I blast myself" TUPAC SHAKUR |
