daisey1974's reply history at Help.com

I wish i had some words of wisdom to tell you sweetie, but i don’t. It’s hard enough being young without being deemed “different”, but the fact that your parents and/or other family is doing this to you is even worse. They should be your safe haven, a place where you feel safe, understood and loved. Since you’re seventeen though, the bright lining in all this is that soon you can move away from all this and hopefully find people who will love you for you and be there when you need. Meanwhile, check out those hotlines Sans gave you, and remember there are people who give a crap. I, and other people on this website are here for you. Good luck sweetie, and remember you aren’t alone.

Thank you!

You know, this a fairly good debate we have going on, and so far no one’s getting up in anyone’s face, but we should stop this. I feel like we are hijacking this dear persons post. Answers were asked for and some were given. Let’s leave the debating for another post shall we?

OK, you have a point. But who said burden of proof was on you? It’s not, but it is up to you, as with each of us, to search for yourself what you find in your heart to be true. And i said your heart, not your mind, for a reason. Because some things can only be felt, or known in the heart. But seriously, if you find that believing one way or the other is what best serves you in your life, then that’s what you should go with, no matter what anyone says. And to be as honest as you are when you say you aren’t sure, is to be applauded really. Because that means you are open to the possibility.

That would be to assume a god exists. To claim to know either way (”There is definitely a god”, “there definitely is no god”), is completely false.[/quote]

Sorry, but your point seems ridiculous when you are saying that there is no God. How can you be so sure? You can not. I’m simply stating what i know in my heart to be true, based on experiences in my life. Even if there isn’t a God, what harm could it do anyone to simply put an inquiry up to this entity? It can do absolutely no harm. So if someone wants to try, or search, then that is up to them.

Have you tried other meds? Maybe you need to try a few and see which one helps you deal, and has less side effects. I wouldn’t bury yourself in cologne, because that gets to be too much and may turn some people off. Until you can try other meds, i would go with the clinical strength deodorant. Also, when were you diagnosed with ADD? And what kind of behavior made them think that’s what you have? You could have been misdiagnosed. It’s my firm belief that many who get slapped with this label are.

Oy vay, this is a big question. And often one which spurs violent reactions from those who would call themselves Christians. Which is why we often get a bad rap, because those of us that are more open and kind are hidden while those who are close-minded and attached so vigorously to their beliefs are the ones who get the limelight. Yes, God is real. In whatever definition you like to think of Him/Her. If it serves you better to see this entity as a Higher Power, a more enlightened extension of us…etc. As to why there are horrible things happening to our world and many of them to good, innocent people, i have many answers for that. I myself have searched and prayed and looked deep inside for them. One, good people still do incredibly stupid things sometimes and we need to learn. Two, the adversities that come our way are for our betterment, even though we can’t see it that way. Three, we could be making up for some evil we did in a past life. And yes i do believe in reincarnation, even though i count myself as a Christian. And four, before we come down to live in our fleshly bodies, we are pure souls with the same intentions for growth and experience as Him/Her. We are our highest selves, and as such we see beyond fleshly understandings. We each choose our life. We choose the lessons we will learn, the way in which we attain those lessons, and the hardships that help us get there. We choose our parents and the people that will come and go in our lives. I believe that one of the most important reasons God, or whatever you choose to call Him/Her, wanted to put us here on earth is simply that He/She wanted to experience life. We are each a part of Him/Her. There is no separation. Separation is an illusion that we create, and we are all, in one way or another, are trying to find our way back to Him/Her. Sorry that was lengthy. You don’t have to believe anything i or anyone else says, all i ask is that you think on what i’ve stated here. And maybe ask God to show you.

Let’s see….that should be under Settings. Yeah, i think so. mouse over settings and there should be a drop down menu, if im remembering correctly, and there should be an item in said menu for changing account information. Click on that and you should be taken to a page where you can change the password. Hope that helps.

You’re very welcome dear. Anytime.

Hahaha!! I think we’ve finally settled on the names. At least for right now we feel good and at peace about them. We have Joshua Daniel and Jesse Gabriel.

Sweetie, it’s a good start that you know you need to make yourself happy and to be happy with yourself. That’s a lot further than a lot of people. You’ve made that revolutionary discovery on your own. You should be proud of that and celebrate it. Not with the bottle though: go out and buy yourself something that you’ve really been wanting and makes you feel good. It’s a long journey to really accepting yourself and learning to love the person you are. I myself have been on this journey, and i can tell you it doesn’t come easy. People will try to tear you down and belittle this self-discovery that you’re embarking on. But you have to ignore all that and do it because it’s whats best for you. Look inside yourself, list all the good things, list all the bad, and then repeat the good things to yourself, while coming up with a list of goals to change those that are bad. If some of the bad things are beyond your control of changing, as in certain physical attributes, then learn to love those things. Get to really know you, and then love that person.

[quote Dr. Jackson]So you cheated on your girlfriend, and your worried more about your friend than the fact you cheated? Your priorities are a bit messed up there.[/quote]

I have to agree. First, why did you even do this to begin with? Second, why don’t you man up, tell your girlfriend and accept whatever consequences come your way? Third, why are you hooking up with someone on drugs? Fourth, did you even have the foresight to at least use a condom? Fifth, why are so concerned over her and not your girlfriend? Dude, you did the wrong thing, and now you’re wondering if you got used? Grow up.

It’s a very interesting question. I’ve heard a lot of info on this and i’m not real sure. I say it’s very possible that he did in fact die.

Hmmm…then i’m sorry to say it dear but it sounds like she’s slowly drifting away from the friendship.
