I don't eat. Is that retarded? No. It's not. I'm happy all of the time at school, and then I'm sad and "depressed" at home. I get mad at my parents a lot, I don't smile. At school, I'm happy all the time, people tell me I laugh a lot, and then i just smile all the time. I'm really sensitive: ex) I once saw a homeless man in front of the subway station. I gave him 5 bucks, and he said happy holidays. I turned around and said happy holdidays to you too. then i went into the subway station, saw one of my friends, and started crying into his shoulders. After like, 6 stops, I stopped, and he asked me what was the matter, and I told him everything. Then I said i was sad cause the guy WASN'T going to have a happy holiday. The next day, i went back with my friend and he held my hand and everything, and we gave the homeless man 10 dollars with a post it attached that gave him the address of a nearby soup kitchen. He said bless you. And then I started crying all over again. How messed up am I?

babeoriental answered Friday December 24 2004, 11:57 pm: i feel the same way all happy and smiley at school but always mad and stuff at home becuase i someimtes can't stand my parents. and well it was really nice of you to give the homeless man money and you cried after the Happy Holidays thing your normal your just more sensitive than others. you just feel sorry for the man and you just think that he could live a better life. or that your living the life that man could have lived. it's okay to let it out. it shows you care for the people that need help.

NEVERLETG00 answered Friday December 24 2004, 10:01 pm: no your not messed up, it just shows you how much you care about someone and man, if that guy knew that you were crying because of him, i bet he would feel so much happier because someone thought of him and CARED about him =) you did a very good thing about giving him 15 dollars altogether. your a good kid, and your not messed up your perfectly fine, i'm the same way (home = not happy, school = having a really good time) this doesn't mean theres something wrong with you!. x0 [ NEVERLETG00's advice column | Ask NEVERLETG00 A Question ]

SeaWorldGirl61692 answered Friday December 24 2004, 8:09 pm: You're just veru generous and care about people around you. There's nothing wrong with that. But if you're around the age of 13, your hormones are acting up. But otherwise, nothing. You're fine, so don't worry. happy Holidays [ SeaWorldGirl61692's advice column | Ask SeaWorldGirl61692 A Question ]
XSugarPieX77 answered Friday December 24 2004, 7:16 pm: You are totally not messed up at all. You seem to be a very kind sensitive person who likes helping people out. I'm usually like that, i laugh all the time at school then i'm depressed soemtimes about other stuff. That is one of the most nicest things you can do during the holidays was giving that man money and the name of a soup kitchen.

bAhAmAmA0250 answered Friday December 24 2004, 6:57 pm: Maybe you could see some counsolars. I go to Youth works it works well. And i can really understand where you are coming from. With him not having a really good holiday but he was thankful for what you did and he is going to make the best of that and that will give him a good holiday! Hun what you did was so thoughtful and so non-selfish. You did a very nice thing for him! Im proud of you! Keep that up its people like that makes the world go round and a better place!! My mom and my auntie used to work at a homeless shelter and me and my cousin would go down there and we would watch them eat just bread and a bowl of soup and that would smiles on there faces. It was awesome to see that the littlest things could bring a smileon there face. But once again good for you! To maybe let you help more you could join a team like we have on thats called Hero.. and you help the poor. Or you could go to the Dorthy Day house and help get food for the needy. Or you could go to a old folks home and help them out play a game of checkers with them. You know. I totally gapped out on the hole not eating thing. I did that for like 2 weeks my mom got extremely worried brought me in and it wasnt to good. Eat. its good for you and if you are really worried about then you should tell your mom about it so you can fix that and get better and healthier. I hate to see you go thru it because it could kill you and you dont want that!! Im always here if you need to talk or whatever. I dont care if you dont make sense when your talking because ill always be here to try and help! Some of my friends can barely talk thru all the tears and i do my best. So just know that i am here for you! Happy holidays Please Rate **trix** [ bAhAmAmA0250's advice column | Ask bAhAmAmA0250 A Question ]
PinkLady4863 answered Friday December 24 2004, 6:41 pm: your not depressed your just another drama queen! and yes, it is retarded not to eat! do you realize within months you could end up dead? take it from someone with experience, if you are really anerexic you have a poblem and that is most likely the reason for your mood swings. eat something! and if you can't hold down your food, then you are seriously sick and you need to tell somebody. i didn't mean to be rude, but i think your 'depression' is the least of your problems.
good luck hunnie [ PinkLady4863's advice column | Ask PinkLady4863 A Question ]
aNgeLxfOrEvEr answered Friday December 24 2004, 6:15 pm: You're definately NOT messed up. Everyone is saying almost the same thing, but I think I should still give my answer. One question: Why don't you eat? Eatings good, believe me..yum. There's no reason not to eat. You CAN be mad and you CAN be sad, but you have to eat. I just don't understand why you are so sad and depressed. You are such a great person and from what you've said, you are very, VERY generous. That homeless man was right--"Bless you". Why did you cry? Did you cry because he was homeless, or did you cry for your own reasons? Be happy, smiling and laughing is fun. Enjoy childhood and being a teenager. It won't be here for long, so have fun while you can. These are the best times of our lives! We get to hang with our friends and do anything (mostly)! I hope you start eating again and I hope you feel better..I don't want anything bad to happen to you. We need more people like you in this world =) [ aNgeLxfOrEvEr's advice column | Ask aNgeLxfOrEvEr A Question ]
sunrise2sunset answered Friday December 24 2004, 6:08 pm: You're not messed up. you're just a considerate person. it's a good thing when it concerns you that other people wont be having as good a christmas as you are. you could probably get somethign started in your community to help these people, but first you need to help yourself. you can never really do your best to help other people until then. start eating, and then maybe you could volunteer in a soup kitchen or something of the sort. i hope you feel better soon and have a Merry Christmas!

Shortie8959 answered Friday December 24 2004, 6:05 pm: You're not messed up at all. You're very kind and generous. That's so cool of you to help that guy! About the depression at home, talk to your parents about. I have that same problem. I'm happy at school (i know, weird), but later on, at home, I get mad at my parents a lot, and I don't smile or laugh or anything. So I know how you feel. The best thing to do is to talk to your parents about it. Also, not eating is bad for your health. It doesn't mean you're retarded, you just have a problem. Just eat. If you think you need to lose some weight, go on a diet and exercise. Other than that, you're fine. Good luck!
Hope I helped!
Happy Holidays!

FunkyMunky1235 answered Friday December 24 2004, 6:03 pm: Messed Up!?!?!?!? i laugh! what you did was barely messed up at all. It was very very very very very generous of you to do that and the crying thing is just a little bit off BUT that is OK! because what you did was a nice thing and you should be very happy at what you did. The happy sad thing is just like what i have kinda. happy at school sad at home. maybe you could try bringing a friend home one day to do homework or something. that might help. And PLEASE PLEASE eat. think of all the delicious juicy things out there! well i hope you have a nice winter and happy new year. and i hope i've helped.
DevilChild answered Friday December 24 2004, 5:45 pm: your not messed up. your just sad that they wont be having as good of a christmas then you. trying to help them is really good of you. i think its great. maybe next year you can get presents for the homeless from people you know and when you see the homeless people give them a present and maybe that will make you feel better about it.~jourdan
