My parents say I am not normal so now I am doubting myself... :(
Question Posted Wednesday November 2 2011, 8:23 am
Hi I am 13 and I am not emo, but i do write all over myself. I think that it is a good way to express myself, but my mom/dad says that it is not good to do that and it is a sickness! When I write on myself it is not out of depression or anger it is just to do it. But when my parents say that it is a sickness it makes me feel like i am not normal. I know that I am normal but some part of me says that im not.

If you like to right on yourself only because it is an expression, I believe that that is OK but sometimes it is good to listen to your parents. They are there to help you in any way that they possibly can. Try writing poems or songs. It will calm you down because usual you write what you are feeling. If you like try drawing. Try a craft. do origami. Anything will help you well if you decide to to writing on yourself. I'm not trying to say that it is not right to write on yourself I'm just saying that there are other ways to express you emotions. Please don't doubt yourself. I know that it can sometimes be a bad feeling but it will get better. Trust me.

However, I think there are other ways of expressing yourself like painting, writing,etc. Find something that you can actually learn from and maybe you will develop a talent that will help you in the future. Good luck! [ JunieBazinet's advice column | Ask JunieBazinet A Question ]
