I want to cry, I really do.
I do not wish to talk to my family about my problems. This time, I need to talk to someone else. I have held everything in for so long. I haven’t cried in forever or talked about what is bothering me. I have no friends to discuss anything with. Any suggestions of who I can talk to — free of service? I don’t have the funds to go talk to a counselor. And I have trouble talking to people over the phone (in the case of suggestions for hotlines, perhaps.) I was thinking the bishop at the church nearby. But any other options? Who do you usually talk to?

Alright, I suppose I could dump everything here. My name is Jennifer, I’m twenty years old. I dropped out of high school in the tenth grade after repeating the ninth grade. I was bullied and picked on and missed so many days of school from it. Currently, I’m living with my father at this time. I can’t find work in my area and don’t have the funds at this time to move. I’m worried I won’t find a job for a long while. I really want to get out of the house and try finding work to support myself. My family is barely able to support them. It’d be so much easier if I had a real friend that I could have comfort me when needed. Everyone that is struggling seems to be able to call someone up and have their friends come over for support. You’d think that I’d be crying over not having a boyfriend. But honestly, that’s the least of my worries.
I’m mostly just upset about my bad decisions I’ve made in my life. Such as dropping out of school, quitting my last job due to complications, et cetera. And not having anyone here to lend me their shoulder. I’m a good person. I’m always very sweet to people. But since I’m nothing but unattractive, people just don’t have the heart to befriend me. And it’s got me emotionally unstable now. Before, I always was able to deal with this on my own. I could shy away and just hide. But it’s all just starting to hit me. And I’m not sure what to do anymore.
you can always get your education one way or another. GED or home school. Talk to your school counselor, they are there to help with things like this. You can shout me anytime, and we can IM if you want. I’ll be glad to be there anytime you have a problem, or want to talk. What are your interests? are you attending now or not? People who bully are the true losers. They do so, to make themselves look good. Real sickos! You know your a good person, and I feel it is their loss that they don’t want to befriend you. Things will eventually get better. I think we all were bullied at one time or another in school. They need to grow up :(
the first step is to change your life around think about the desisons you are going to make befor you them i have done the same making bad desions dont worry about not having a boyfirend the last time i had 1 it all went rong and showed me men can be pigs everything will work out i know it may seem that it wont but it will turn around
I’m a smart person, I know what I want to do in my life. I want to get my GED, I want to start a career afterward, I know where I want to live. And I do know that all things shouldn’t be expected. But I’m certainly not one to NOT know what I’m going to do. I have my plan, I just don’t have the friends or people to talk to while I’m figuring out how I’m going to get started. How I’m going to find work to start saving money so I can do all those things I want to do. I just really need the friend right now. That one that can help me through it all. Everyone else has got a friend. But I’ve been without one since the ninth grade. It’s not so easy making friends when you’re an adult now. Especially since I live in a town with a population of only 200; mostly consisting of elderly.
I don’t think I’m much so worried and upset about my past. I’m more worried for my future and who I can talk to about it all and share it with. Right now, I feel I only have myself. My family doesn’t understand and I am so tired of going to them about things.
Could you join an outside activity, that would place you with others on a regular basis? Such as a swim team, or the YMCA. They offer a lot of things females can to. being and doing similar things, will enable others to relate more easily with you and vice versa.If you need extra cash, the elderly always can use a helping hand. Doing chores, cooking etc.Do you belong to a church or youth group? Consider that. All year long they have many free activities, and the kids at these are generally accepting and nice. Something to consider. :D
Honey you can talk to us, we are far away but we can listen and advise, ok you know you want your GED so thats first, do you have to pay for that or can it be government aided at all? Can you help local people to earn a little extra money for school? Do you have anything that you can sell on ebay to raise some funds?
Honestly, I wish there was some sort of local group. However, there isn’t. The closest church to where I live is the LDS church, which I choose not to go to. There are a few people there my age. However I’ve found them to be rather snooty. I don’t want people to be my friend because they have to. I want them to be my friend because they want to.
As much as I should be focusing on getting my GED at this time, I simply cannot. I must figure out how to raise funds at this time. Searching for work isn’t going well. Nobody seems to be hiring. I’ve considered moving back to my hometown in Idaho, but I haven’t the funds to do so. And I’m already running out of gas money for my job search. eBay isn’t an option for me. I know nothing about selling on there at all. Plus, it’d take too much time trying to figure it all out.
Do you have family in your hometown who can support you untill you have finished your schooling? If you can’t find work knock on peoples doors ask if you can sut thir lawn clean their kitchen help them with anything, for a small donation, money will not come to you. You need to get creative and get it however you can
I really have been figuring that out, believe me. I’ve phoned family in my hometown — they do not wish to have me at this time. I’m very shy about asking others to let me do some random favors for them in return for money.
However, the main thing that is still bothering me, is the fact that I have no close friends. I really do appreciate all your help, honestly. But sometimes, it easier when you physically have that person there. I’ve tried craigslist, hoping to meet a few people to hang out with. No luck yet.
I suppose my post is just useless now that I think about it. Since I can only really help myself in these situations. But I really do feel a lot more better now that I’ve let most of it out.
Get some paper write a price list call it, Spring clean up, post them through your neighbours door, hey presto you have your own cleaning business, you go into their homes and do whatever you can to make their lives easier, wash iron, dishes, hoover, at the same time you will make friends with the people you are helping, if they call you for your services they clearly don’t mind paying to make their lives easier. Friends also won’t knock on your door and come to you. You will have to put the work in to get anything out of it. Just go walking smile at people sit on a park bench and strike up a conversation with the person next to you, comment on their shoes or hair guaretee they will love you for that, you will not find friends sitting in your house wishing for them
Yes, I understand that. I certainly wasn’t expecting it to happen that way. I suppose I was looking for suggestions as to where one should look for a friend. Considering I live in a small small town (200). We’ve no park here at all. And plus, it’s pretty much still winter here — much too cold to go out for a walk, trying to meet people. Maybe during the summer perhaps.
I like the idea though for the flyers. I suppose I could make a few and post them at the grocery store bulletin. Thanks for that suggestion; it may prove helpful.
What are the people in the grocery store like, get chatting to them. Normally small towns like that have garderners clubs, and book reading clubs, once you get chatting yo the people in the store when you take your new poster along to them, ask them how they while away their spare hours, I once changed countries and was all alone, I understand how hard it is, you really do have to talk to everyone you come into contact with, your mailman, your milkman, people in shops, just ask how their day is or where they got their hat, glove scarf shoes from, where they get their done, I always find, hey your hair is gorgeous where do you get it done, is a great opener with men and women, people love to talk about themselves so compliment them and they will love you,
