about


Hello everyone. My name is Marissa Sage. Many call me by one of my many nicknames; Ritz, Rissy, Rissa, or Miss Sage.

I am 18 years old and I live in the state of New Jersey. Many of you might know it as the harborer for Great Adventure, the amusement park. For those that don't live in the U.S. it is one of the 50 states.

My education is mostly different from those my age. I am an early graduate of highschool. There is a program called Jump Start that allows us to graduate early and attend a community college not to far from my house. We are allowed to take 3 college credit courses that will be transfered to a university or the college of our liking. That of course will not happen until after two years of completing the required classes.

As for my major I am still trying to decide which path I wish to take whether it have to do with writing or another interest of mine. In any case I am poetic. I not only put words on the paper, I illuminate the page with the essence of my thoughts. A picture will evolve with just a few strokes from my pen. The words will have a life of their own. The rhythm of my words, flow as the streams of the mountains which drain toward the pool of dreams. Easily my emotions leak from my pen onto the blank pages, projecting the inner sight of my soul. The enthreal world, I enter, to capture the purity and truth. Eternally will the universe listen, with or without you.

I have a boyfriend, Alex, whom I care very much about. He is a musician, a bass player. Being with him is all that I really need, he has made so many drastic changes in my life. For that I am thankful. March 17, 2005 marked 2 years for us. Many of my friends are envious of the love that we share. Though we have learned not to let anyone come between us.

Thus, comes the end of my tale. If this is anything you want to talk about I will always be around to listen. I am glad that I could express myself, hopefully everyone will read it. Sorry if I made it so long.

Yours Truly,

Marissa Sage

There's this guy named Chris and he is sooo mean to me. He always says things about me that really hurt my feelings. He never says he's kidding..he's actually being serious. Today, he said something so awful I just wanted to kick him in the pants so he could fall..but that'd be mean..so what remarks can I say to get payback? Or what can I do? Everyone likes him so I can't convince other people to leave him.

Sometimes just ignoring him will get him to stop. If he starts to talk about you think of a witty comment. For example, "I love how you make me the center of your life. It goes to show that you really do like me." That should get him to stop talking. I hope this helps, good luck hun.

Ok. First, my sister is graduating this year. Second, im getting ignored a lot lately. Its been really bugging me and i cant stand it. All my parents talk about is my sister and how shes growing up. Im not jelous but it would be nice for my family to acknowledge me once and awhile. I love my sister and im gonna miss her when she goes to college but shes not the only one on the planet right now... should i talk to my sister and parents about it or what??? UGH!

You shouldn't be mad at your sister. I'm sure that when the time comes for you to graduate your parents will act the same way towards you. Just let your parents do there thing but mention that you are feeling somewhat ignored and you know they aren't doing it intentionally and that you would like to be acknowledged every once in awhile. Hope this helps good luck.

Ok. My mom just had surgery on her foot yesterday and since then its like everything I do is getting on her nerves. Its like I can't do anything right anymore. And I understand that she is tired and hurting but I have been trying to do all that I can to help her and make her comfy without getting on her nerves but she gets mad at every little thing and she never says thank you or anything when I do something for her. Now its starting to piss me off. I know that she is not her normal self right now and is on pain meds and stuff but its like she has to complain about every little thing and she neverd 'asked' me to do something...she yells at me to do it.
I have been trying to just let it pass but it seems like its just getting worse and worse and I don't know what to do. A little while ago she fell on her foot and I heard her screaming and she never told me to come in there and help her or get her anything she just tried to do it on her own then she ended up blaming it on me....like its my fault that she wanted to get up and didn't want me to help her...I don't what to do...I feel guilty about staying in my room because she might need something but if I stay with her she finds something to yell at me for...
what do I do!!!!????

Try to help around the house as much as you can and although she says that everything you do is getting on her nerves it's probably because she feels incapable of doing anything for herself. Try to talk to her calmly about how you are feeling and that you are really trying hard to help her out but her constant yelling is only making it worse for not only her but for you as well.

16/f/California. I hang out a lot with my 15 year old female cousin. Me and her always have a good time. Its not like I want to stop hanging out with her. She's part of the "punk" crowd (but she's only in it because its the trend, and I KNOW thats why, because I know her well, and I know thats not the "real her"...but thats beside the point). And I'll admit, I do say "like" and "oh my gosh" a lot. Everytime we're at the mall or somewhere and we walk past girls that say something like "LIKE...OH MY GOD" she ALWAYS has to say something like "wow...did you just hear those girls? I can't stand those types of girls". And she'll say it loud enough to where they can hear. And I always act like I can't hear her, or I just start to say something else, because 1.) I don't judge people because of the way they talk and 2.) That seriously doesn't even bother me. But if she sees a punk guy or girl walking, she'll stare, admire, walk a little slower to where they can see her, and she'll try to tease her hair more (she has big hair) so she'll look a little more like them. But just because she's dressed like them and they're dressed like her doesn't mean shit. Theres more to that and she judges people SO quickly. And tonight we were at dinner with my aunt and she was explaining how she can't stand girls that talk like that and I quickly jumped in and said this:

Me-"you know what I've noticed about you? You judge people so quickly"

Her-"no I don't"

Me-"yes you do, everytime we walk past girls that say something like that, youALWAYS have to make a comment, and its stupid, you don't even know them"

Her-"I'm just saying I don't like girls like that, I'll talk to them and say hi and stuff, but I can't hang out with them"

Me-"Well, why do you have to say it all the time, you don't have to like them, just don't think like that so fast.... you know why I think you do it? I think you do it just to bring them down and push yourself up and thats stupid."

Her-"[[[[same thing as above.]]]"

What should I tell her? Because after, I just ignored what she said after that. But I'm really not done with this conversation. I hate when people make quick judgements like that, especially when you say it loud enough so that person can hear. That only makes enemies. And whats the point of talking about them anyways? Its not going to make anything change nor is it going to make them go away. What should i tell her. I don't want to just stop hanging out with her, because aside from that we have no problems. I just want her to be a little more opened minded...not just about people, but about everything and also to start thinking for herself. What should I do?

I think you should be telling her exactly what you said in the last paragraph. Sit down and discuss it with her, but make sure you explain to her that you are not trying to cause any conflict between the two of you, and that you are only trying to help her.
