MotherJune answered Saturday July 24 2004, 7:19 pm: People don't like to hear this, but finding a church with an active youth group and a good youth minister provides unconditional love (in most cases) and support for problems in your life. A church group will listen to you and give you guidance. Just because people (teens) attend church, doesn't mean they are perfect....far from it! A church is full of sinners! The idea is to find a group of people that can understand you need help in life and accept you for trying to do what is right and recover from some terrible experiences.
Not sure where to find a church? Start by looking for one that is near your home within walking distance. Of course it is a good idea to start with one that is a denomination you are comfortable with (Baptist, Methodist, Catholic, etc.) If you are unsure, do a search on the computer for churches in your area. Often, if you call a local church and tell them your age, that you are interested in attending but don't know anyone, they'll talk to you & answer your questions over the phone. They may even pick you up for services and group activities. You have nothing to lose by calling. Good luck, sweetie!!! [ MotherJune's advice column | Ask MotherJune A Question ]
kevin1986 answered Saturday July 24 2004, 3:24 pm: It won't because there are still people you can talk to. What about the teacher and your mom's friend? These people care about you. Your guidance counselor at school? You may even meet someone at school,a close friend,that you can talk to. You won't fall back into depression.

HollyAnn2282 answered Saturday July 24 2004, 2:05 pm: I'm sure you'll meet someone new soon. You can possibly go and talk to another teacher, meet with a consular. I know those things are tough to deal with... I've had to deal with a few of those things myself! But stay positive and sooner or later things will clear up! I promise, till then keep your head up and focus on positive stuff.

LilMia811 answered Saturday July 24 2004, 1:25 pm: Okay, well I'm sure you have someone else in your life who you can rely on. And you can alos still probably be able to call her. And also try and help yourself sometimes. Whenever yuo are in a jam, stop and tell yourself, okay you have been stuck in stuff like this before, what would "she" tell me or what would I have done before? And if all else fails, you can feel free to drop a note in my inbox anytime. I would be happy to be there for you and help you out with any problems you may be having. I too have been through alot. Well I hope I was helpful and Good Luck! :)
little_Jesi answered Saturday July 24 2004, 1:25 pm: I know what you are going through I've been through it all. and it is hard and you cant always do this on your own. and the good thing is you know that. You took charge and found someone to talk to. It is going to be hard when your cousin moves but try your best to keep in touch with her. You can send letters, emails, talk through AIM and the phone. Just try to keep your head up. I know this probally didnt help you, and I'm sorry if it didnt but if you need to talk you can I/M me on crazy xcoolx kid
I hope I helped <3 Jesi [ little_Jesi's advice column | Ask little_Jesi A Question ]
