advice
Lately, I've been feeling REALLY lonely. How do I tell my parents that, I don't want to be here anymore? I'm tired of my friends, I'm tired of my family, and I'm tired with the people around. I do hang out with good people who make good decisions--I'm not tired about that. But I don't feel completely happy with them. I sometimes feel a little left out, and I do blame myself for not being more "in the loop". But I don't have that many things in common with them. My parents are also good people. They give me the things I need and have brought me up pretty well. They really are good parents. I'm just sick of living here and being lonely. I feel like theres no one around. I recently just lost my "best friend". She was great, but I did realize that she wasn't exactly the kind of person I want to be friends with (she constantly reassured herself by making fun of other people, she was REALLY competitive @ EVERYTHING, etc.). Is there anything I can do, or anyone I can talk to, or IM? (Theres a lot of other things I'm upset about) Is there anyone who's been in a state of depression or anything? Because I seriously need to talk to someone.
I was in the same situation you are in right now about 7 ot 8 months ago, right before school started. I was always with my friends, but like you, I didn't as "welcome" as before. I had a really hard time deciding what I was going to do because i had always had lots of good friends because i'm really outgoung. My advice for you is to talk to someone who has seen their lonely days and try to get as much from them as possible. People who have felt what it is like to be alone are more often likely to try to offer a helping hand and listen to your problems rather than just sit there and pretend like you listening I really hope I helped and good luck. If you wanna talk some more just IM me. CaNdiShOpGurll (AIM)
My parents know that I want to listen to Green day and Bowling for soup and a large variety of other music bands, but won't let me. I'm 13, but they prolly think it's too young. How can I convince them that I enjoy music and am missing out on a lot without it?? And besides-I should be entitled to what they had.
I know exactly where your coming from. Parents are really blaming the media for the "loss" of their children's attention and your right it is a right of passage. But you still have to think of where your parents are trying to come from. I love Green Day and Bowling for Soup just as well but some of their music is questionable. Maybe not to us so much because that is what we are accustomed to. If you look back in the day it was all Marvin Gaye and the Temptations, but now its all of our music like 50 cent about getting shot and green day about screwing the goverenment. It's just how you look at it. My advice is to try to see where they are at as parents and explain to them that you do understand their problem with you listening to music but there actually is a lot of our teen culture in music and you really are missing out on a lot when you dont get to listen to it.
P.S. by the way. there is this thing called radio edit!! LOL
my friends brother is coming home from jail at the end of the summer.. her mom is always in a bad mood and her sister has to go to a psychologist because she has problems with her brother.. i feel so bad for my friend.. and she knows there are gonna be more problems when he comes home because her mom will want him to stay in the house and her dad will want him out and her brother never listens... i know its gonna be hard for her and i just want to help her.
It's really difficult to help friends with issues about they're syblings. The only thing I can really tell you is to be there for her when she needs you most. You have to be a truely commited friend to help this girl. If you aren't ready to be there 24/7 dont get too involved. One last thing though you are doing a really good thing be helping your friend you still need to protect yourself. This could possibly become very emotionally disturbing for you and your friend so try not to get really really involoved. I hope I helped.
