about

Hi, I'm just really out in life to have some fun, trying to keep homework, my life, my friends, my pets and school under control. I wouldn't call me the average teenager because I am quite different with my personal circumstances. But I can honestly say I wouldn't have it any other way (well maybe some changes). I have learnt good and bad things the hard way and watched friends get hurt- I haven't been through it all but I'm working on it. Help you? I'm not sure but lets see how well this advice column goes. Ask Shaylee :)

my dad was recently laid off from work (he was the manager for the propane department of a co-op). he decided he wants to go back to the job he had before that, which was an EMT(emergency medical technician). the problem is that he left that job because he had a lot of depression problems when he couldn't save someone. should i still encourage him to go back to that job?

I think you should encourage him to go back to his life but make sure he understands what happened. It wasn't his fault the person died. That person might have been beyond saving and what about the people he did end up saving? Give up all the hard work he had already done- he saves lives. Sometimes you can't but those lives he does save aren't just people- they are fathers, brothers, sisters, mothers, friends, relatives, daghters, married with many many connections. He might have lost one but in the great scheme of things he is saving loved ones. He delivers life everyday- just don't let him forget the people he saved.

(Rating: 5) you are right. he started the job after his sister died of cancer. then his mother had a stroke and died at the kitchen table and he was there,so he blames himself. soon after his brother died in his arms after a car crash.
