yay!
Just keep trying to think of positive things, ull get thru this!
=)

hey, i sing too & it seems like i may be going through the same thing as you.
I know that people who have serious cases of bulemia end up having rotting teeth because of constantly throwing up & acidic juices in the stomach ect, however what if i brush my teeth straight after?

this one hits home for me…

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”

thank you for replying.

yea I agree that worrying can make you perform worse.
I had a maths sac last term which I’d studied for except i had a panic attack during it & so completely mucked it up. i ended up failing the test.

Sometimes I just can’t get my head around the stress/worry stuff.. I can’t control it sometimes. Getting a good score means so much to me ( and to my mum ) so sometimes the pressure just gets too much & I break down.
I don’t want it to happen again, but telling myself that it doesn’t matter doesn’t seem to help me.

geeze, i should just give up and run away.
I cant do this.

thanks for your help anyway

If you are strong at both languages, I think it would be a good idea to chose to learn the language corresponding to the country and culture you are most passionate about. If you love the french culture and beautiful paris like I do, then learn french! From my experience, it is benefical to learn what you are interested in & enjoy learning about so go with that! Which country are you most eager to visit?
Hope I helped in some way,
bonne chance =)

D’accord… je suis ici!
Pas de problem…!

Quickly memorise phrases that can help u in the exam that are time wasters…
stuff like:

a mon avis… (in my opinion…)
je pense que… (i think that…)
il faudrait qu’on… (it would be neccassery that one…)

listen for key words & just relax!
Stressing is going to make it harder to think, and yes, i know it is so much easier said than done, but uve just got to try and switch ur brain around into thinking
‘i can’. Concentrate on the things you can do, and forget about any bad thoughts. Use your intonation and expression to make your oral interesting & engaging for the examiner. If you stuff up a sentence, no big deal just move on and forget about it. You may be scored down slightly on accuracy but that won’t effect the other criteria such as; presentation, expression, range, ability to control a situation & depth of content!

BONNE CHANCE MON AMIE!

thanks for the movie… i really enjoyed it.
quite inspirational!

Firsty, how old are you and what year are you in at school? If you are in this movie you might physically be ‘out of school’ however they have tutuors on the set. I agree with the person up above - it is important for you to still get yourself an education. Yr 12 can be extended over 2 - 3 years depending on the circumstances so you’d still have the chance to get an education.

Don’t think about what you’ve got to lose,
think about what you’ve got to gain from this experience.

These opportunites are really rare so GO FOR IT!

chookas =)

well i havnt gotten to know many ppl thru this website yet…
but someone who i have met & who has been really inspirational and kind to me is ‘BurntUmber’.
She’s helped me so much, thank you !

I agree, a good way to make friends is to meet them through a hobby or activity that you enjoy. That way you will both have things in common. So starting up a new hobby could be a good idea!
Perhaps you could volunteer somewhere? Sometimes helping other people can make you feel happier & worthwhile.

first of all, im so sorry that you were raped. You must be going through a really tough time at the moment. In regards to deciding on what to do with the baby, there is no right decision; only the decison that feels most right to you. Go with what your heart is telling you. If having an abortion is going to make you hate yourself, then regardless of what your parents think this option is not for you. Ulitmately it will be you who has to live with this decision & everyone has different morals & feelings so it is important to go with yours. If you are going to be guided by your parents thoughts then what is the point in you having your own? Though it is great that your parents want to offer you advice, remember that in the end it is your decision as you are right - it is your baby & your body.

Please keep in mind though that caring and looking after a baby will be difficult. Especially since you would be a single mum. You will need a lot of support from friends and family, as well as finacially. I would recommend investigating into single mother clubs/groups ect in your area. It might help you if you are able to have a chat to young, single mums who can relate to what you are going through.
Remember though that you are not a bad person & people will love you no matter what decision you choose.

Best of luck =)

ive never been in the situation your in so I can’t say that i understand what you are going through however I will try to help out to the best that i can. I think it is important for you to speak to your parents about your feelings. They wouldn’t want you to be unhappy. And yes, just because you are moving it doesn’t mean you will never see your old friends again. Letters, the telephone & the internet will keep you in contact with them however I know that it’s not the same as being able to see them face to face every day at school. You will make new friends at your new school & you could still catch up with your old friends in the holidays. However maybe you don’t have to move… it sounds like your parents don’t know how upset this move is going to affect you. If you do end up moving, in the first few weeks in your new school you will need the support from your family, so it would be a good idea to talk to them now and fill them in about ur aprehension about leaving.
Though it may be hard at first, you are going to make new, wonderful friends & you are never going to forget the friends you have now. If they are true friends, then no matter how far away you are from them - they will always have a place in your heart.

Good luck =)

yes i feel the same way; i have friends and family who all love me but i dunno… i just feel so empty inside at the moment.
i kinda feel like i have isolated myself from everyone around me, i still see & talk to everyone but its like different, i feel disconnected from them too.
i just feel so empty all the time & i feel like i am walking around with a smile on my face and happy on the outside, but on the inside i am screaming and crying and hating myself. how do u get rid of the emptyness?

i wish i could control time…
it would be awesome to be like sabrina the teenage witch (lol) and be able to pause time while i finish my homework n then once i have finished i can press play n then everything continues as normal. i hav so much on atm n seem to always run out of time!
it would be sooo good to be able to sleep in for as long as i want, despite having school.

and i do think flying would be awesome too!

Hi,
If you don’t mind me asking, what was it that impelled you to get out?
Last year it crossed my mind about running away, I was too chicken to go through with it though. Yes you may have indirectly hurt others because you left so suddenly however I think if you spoke to everyone and told them your reasons for leaving they would understand. No one would be mad at you or hold a grudge, most people should realise that you went through a difficult time and would be glad to hear from you & to know that you are ok. Its the little things & little thoughs that can make a big difference. In my opinon, although I see where you are coming from, if you want people to understand and to make things right then posting online bulletins isn’t the right way to go about it. Call up your old friends (and ex) and arrange to meet each of them. When you are in person just be yourself and be honest. People appreciate honesty, no one will think you are an idiot or a dumbass. They would want to know that you are ok and perhaps your closet friends deserve to know why you left in the first place; they may think you dislike them which is not the case! With the ex, call him up and arrange to meet him somewhere and talk about it. Chances are he still has feelings for you, you aren’t going to be able to get over him unless you properly sort thins out. Running away wont make problems disappear. I hope everything sorts itself out, just be honest and give yourself a chance to let things off your chest!

best of luck =)
