Q: Hi,
I am a 17/f. I live in a tiny town, full of older people... and in my pre.k to 12 school, there aren't a whole lot of good friends. I am not saying that there aren't people,there are.. there just aren't very many that don't smoke, aren't jerks, won't stab you in the back, wreck havoc, and so on. I have never had any (what I consider) real friends that a person can rely on. Until.. I met this one new girl, several years ago, we were best friends for several years, then she dumped me for my brother Whom she dates, sucks faces with, sleeps with, and excetera excetera. My mom who I live with (my parents are divorced) doesnt seem to care about what I think/do no matter how many times I confront her. She has a boyfriend now (he seems sort of decent) that she spends almost every spare minute with alongside my little sister (who is twelve, but acts like a baby and has my mother on the end of her pinky).
Anyhow, I really need someone I can just hang out with, be myself with, who will make me laugh, and help me smile more. I really wish I could meet some different people, get out there, find a boyfriend maybe, and yeah.. theres not much to do in a little town.
Sometimes I want to go to the city, but I want someone close to my own age to go with me. I am not a very depressed person. I draw,bake,crochet,sew,design,bike ride,play sports,play with my dog, and listen to music. I am very artistic. I just need something more exciting in my life. All these simple things are getting boring. And no, there aren't any clubs or sports that I can be involved in. What to do what to do...

I live in a small town now but I grew up in the city. Have you thought about getting a job? I know it sounds boring, but i meet alot of cool people where i worked at. It takes a little while. The kids at school may smoke or drink but some of them are pretty good people. You can hang out with them but you don't have to smoke or anything. I hope I helped. You know when i first moved to a small town I hated it.. but now when I go to the city I get so annoyed haha. My parents got divorced to. It was a realy tough time in my life. I blamed my self. When they got divored I endded up pregnant. I was 15. My mom is now dating a dude who is a complete jerk smokes weed and has it around my little brother. they live about 13 hours away and there is nothing i can do about it. stay strong..

I have had different jobs. I started working when I was 14, at our local grocery store, then this summer I worked at a park, and I got a new job just recently at a different grocery store. I am hoping that I may meet more new people there.
Yeah, I know what you mean about hanging with people that smoke and that you don't have to do it yourself. Sorry to hear about your parents.. you shouldn't blame yourself. It is no ones fault, just a decision. I hope you still get to be with both of them (if you want that to happen). I hope your brother learns right from wrong, and doesn't start doing all that bad stuff. I also hope your child is doing well :) And exactly as you said... keep staying strong.
