I really like talking with the young people on this site!
They keep me feeling young. They are so refreshing and funny. Talking with them about their love life, teacher problems, parent problems, etc. Having been a teacher way back then, always enjoyed my students. Love to joke with them and just have fun.
Just got on a young lady about her spelling, grammer, etc. and she took offense. But, we correct our young people because we LOVE THEM. Any good teacher will use “tuff love” to mold and give their students direction. Believe me young people, it is much easier to turn our heads and walk away and not take the ENERGY to correct you. BUT, it is a learning process. Even today, at my tender age, I’m trying to improve myself everyday. I learn something everyday, want to do better, want to be wiser, want to better to my fellowman, want to smarter, spell better, and basically, TAKE PRIDE IN MYSELF AS A GOOD HUMAN BEING.
We ALL make mistakes, sometimes we over-react, sometimes we say things the wrong way, we look at someone in the wrong way, but DOWN DEEP INSIDE OF US, we want to do BETTER….
Anyway, the young people here need love and sometimes, TUFF LOVE….we older adults should be leaders and be their friend and mentors….but, do it with kindness and understanding…
My prayer today, “God gives us patience, temperance, wisdom, and most of all, LOVE for all men…Amen..”

Mr Spencer and Ms Spencer,
LOL..Oh my friend, never been afraid of the truth…We must bear our burdens with joy and love….That is the season we are in…Christmas is so special…Just wish people had that attitude the other 11 months..What a World that would be…Thank you are kind words..and have a great day my friend!
I’m hangin’ in there with ya old man..lol, and couldn’t agree more.
You are the best Richard…thank you my good friend!
I love this site even tho it’s just so much **** in the world concentrated into one place. I wish you all the best, but you have to realize sometimes people are so down they don’t care about being better, they just want the hurting to stop. tuff love can be good but be careful not to overdo it. I bet you were an amazing teacher (students can tell if you care and i bet you rly did.)
My prayer for today (even tho i don’t believe):
psalm 126:5 “Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy.”
I love that one..
Laterz,
Kai
Go Kai…good post my friend…love your honesty

Sophie,
It is so refreshing to talk with young people like yourself, but you are a leader and one that influences others and actually you don’t need my help. You got your head on straight and have your life planned and organized. You make good decisons. Your parents did a great job…. Those that are mean-spirited and hateful, they are the ones that REALLY need our help. They are a challenge, to say the least…
Have a great day my good young friend…
Thanks for the reminder Qzzzzz… It’s always helpful to listen to those who have more experience in matters when it comes to life, and who has more experience than our elders. I look forward to reading more of your insight. Feel free to give me an invite anytime.
Thanks Tumbleweed, you are now my good friend…thank you so much…Have a great day!
Hello there, I am currently in work just looking over the world of space and i noticed your picture. i appreciate the advise of someone with someone with intelligence.i need some advice,if you can help.From someone from the outside looking in.
I am a 21 year old girl i have been going out with a 38 year old man for a year.He is older but he behaves like he is my age.he is quite sucessful he has two shops and 2 kids from previous relationships which he sees twice a week which is fine dont mind at all. but is he loyal to me but i get the feeling like im wasting my time alot and i always want more from him but he is busy and doesnt always have the time for me so we fall out.I absolutely adore him but we fall out alot about this issue and we are both stubborn and we fall out for weeks.Also he has this ex girlfrend who is still in love with him and who used to work in his shops so she goes in to see the staff and him,altho she has a boyfrend i cant stand him speaking to her.Theres nothing in it but it drives me mad! Am iwrong to let this get to me and fall out with him or should i just let him speak to her because i trust him i think i just dont trust her.Also my star sign is a cancer and his is aqaurius and if you check the interent for our compatibility its exactly right he is quite detached as aquarians are and i need security as cancers do.we are typical for our signs have a read to get the idea. And he always smokes alot of weed too which doesnt help and i dont. But with all these issues do you think i am wasting my time? I love him and i think he loves me we dont throw the word around he said i love you first a couple of weeks ago and i think he meant it as he has been hurt badly in a previous relationship his girlfrend was sleeping with his best frend so i think he is wary of getting hurt;which is the same as me! Whats your opinion i would love to hear someone elaes advise who isnt a friend xxxxx thankyou
help some advise xx

I see that you are new here… welcome. What you have just done, what the regulars here call, Stealing or hijacking a post. I’m sure that Qzzzz doesn’t mind, especially regarding the nature of his post. But normally a question such as yours, you would make your own post… that way people can focus on your issue, and not split their focus between your issue and Qzzz post.
sorry i didnt realise im not good at computers so dont no how to do it sorry xxxxxxxxxx
Do I count as young? Please, I need to be! I mean 15 isn’t THAT old, but you never know. You could be 15 and be 95…
I agree for the most part, but I think there’s a time and a place for it, I know the incident you were referring to, and she was really looking for relationship help, in fact all she was really looking for was someone to reinforce her sense of morals. Perhaps after discussing her problem, mentioning the grammar/spelling would have been more appropriate.
i know what was said too, and i agree with four, maybe addressing the problem at hand first would have been a better approach.
they keep us energized. Some of them are disrespectful, but others are nicer. so cheers. :)
I’m pretty nice, but I CAN so disrespectful

Ms Cdcsjstee,
My friend, move on ASAP..The guy is using you. That is a hip shot, but from reading about his girl friend, wanting to see you twice a week, and etc…Does not sound good. A good test…don’t see him for a couple of weeks. Just tell him, I’m evaluating our relationship. Don’t see much future here. See how he reacts. But, baby doll, I think the man is using you.
What you do do is start a separate post and get more ideas from other people. There are some really good folks here that can give their insight into your situation.
Good luck my friend…
Qzzz I want you to know that even though the young people like myself will give you a hard time does not mean that they do not appreciate it they are just youg and want their way just keep up the good work .
Hey thanks, Qzzzz, your a person we can look up to, Thanks for trying to be better everyday, thats really something, thanks again, Keep it up..
well, i have to say that im not one of the young ones… hehehehehe… im in the mid to the later years… i love responding to posts in which i have expierence in… such as losing loves, feeling down, abuse and such… i feel as though my rough life that i once use to dwell on has become something that i am greatful to live through now.. because i have the right to comment on what is happening.. what is going to happen and why… and it makes me feel soooo good inside to know that what i once went through can possibly help those who are in the same predictiment that i once was in…. so no matter, young or old.. im glad that im part of this site….
It seems like a lot of them are lost and feel like they have no one to turn to except us which saddens me on one hand but makes feel like I can make a difference on the other hand. Working with them can make you feel young again, but I have never let my age interfere any way…To me it is just a number.
Very true, The wisest of people understand that they understand very little. But it is also important to understand that you CAN understand…UNDERSTOOD?
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
