Just want...

[SimplyStrange]

I just want to scream. Let it all out. Lately everything's been pissing me off. You know, I went from having lots of friends and a group and whatnot to having like... 6 real friends, one of which is telling me right now that she doesn't want to be in the group anymore 'cause she thinks so little of herself that she thinks she's that worthless... that she has to get out of our lives forever.

GOD my life's one big cosmic joke lately. The only people making me feel worth anything are my best friend, my boyfriend and my mom. I feel worthless, like nothing more than that gum scraped on the sidewalk out there...

GAWD what is WRONG with me!?!?!?! Being a teenager SUCKS. Remember how confident I used to be? Now look at me. I'm not worth anything it seems...

and when you start to feel like something... it becomes kind of true to yourself. Or at least, you'd like to think so. Or... I don't even know what I'm talking about.

...I feel like crap...

[flar7]

You are not crap! You are a friend to many here, just ask mist.
Life is just full of ups and downs. Remember the up of the car?
then the down of the dent? Life is almost always like this!

Up then down. Dont worry baby, up is coming your way!;)

Take it easy, I bet your a real awesome friend :D

I'm a little past being a teenager ;), but I still feel like that sometimes. And I've never had that many friends, and there are few people I can talk to, especially about the goddess :) In fact I've been down this week, for one reason or another myself. People just seem so tired up in their lives, so uncaring, so far from me. But that is okay, because one awesome friend is better than millions of false ones. So maybe we can both think about those that care about us, rather than those that don't ;)

Blessings to you,

Z.

I happen to think you are special. You have been there when I needed someone to vent too and when my children had me so stressed I didn't hear them or thier issues before helping to mediate what they were feeling to me so I could be a better parent I think that is pretty damn special and I think you are too.

[callalily]

I promise! My teenage years absolutely sucked and now life is pretty darn good. Now always, certainly, but most of the time. And the best part about being an "adult" and "on your own" is: you get to make the decisions about your life, so your happiness is in your own hands.

because one awesome friend is better than millions of false ones

This is so true. And I realized it in one of those flashes of maturity as I got older. However, that took a long time. But try to keep that thought tucked inthe back of your mind- it is really hard to live by that when you are 16. :)

For today, remember that *you* are a good friend. You are a good person to eveyone here. You are not crap or yucky sticky bubble gum or anything like that.

The teenage years are tough on everyone, but we all get through. You couldn't pay me enough to be a teen again. (A toddler or a puppy, eh...maybe;)). Just keep telling yourself all of the positive things you do and are. And I know there is lots of that.

Your mailbox is full SS........

[MammaStar]

Hey SS, try to remember this...it's a little pearl my Mom told me a LONG LONG time ago.

One true friend is better than dozens of fair-weathered friends.

I've always kept to that. I'm lucky to be blessed with some true friends. And I know you are too.

Hang in there kiddo. Go listen to Freddy sing "Fat Bottomed Girls" and think of me! :lol: ;)

[materra]

(((( SS )))) Oh hon, you are not NOT worthless by any means. Your confidence will come back...you just misplaced it for a bit. We will help you find it anytime you want....just say the word. Growing pains suck and this is a kind of growing pain we have all experienced. Still do for many of us. So hang on, love and strength are on the way.

[Altheia]

want me to sing to you? I'll sing....I'll be nineteen around the end of the month. I know exactly how you are feeling. I'm stuck in a situation that sucks right now. I don't have a car, don't have a job, waiting to leave for the air force, my boyfriend is in DC and I feel like I have no one but my cats that I can talk to without angering them. but it's alright...everything happens for a reason, and you're a great person, and nothing less than great things are rewarded to those kinds of people. So, if you need to talk and vent about being a teenager...and other junk like that..just let me know and we can vent together...that actually sounds like some good old quality fun! dontcha think?...who's your buddy? hee hee *i like the avatar*

[MistOfTheSea86]

Then scream SS, a life of a teenager sucks on many levels at different times. I am sure we have all felt like this at one time or another and it is good to know she has real friends she can depend on. We love you here SS, and whenever you need anything we are here. Especially me:)

You are a rainbow, a thing of beauty and I am happy you are still in my life...

[Semele]

((((((SS)))))),

It may suck to be a teen...ok it really does, I remember it all too well, however, things change so quickly. In no time you will be looking back at these years and sighing, no doubt thanking Gods you are done with them! You will have so much great stuff in the years to come...just hang in there. I have watched you grow profoundly over the last year...spiritually and in other ways as well. You and Mist are two of my favorite members of this community, your maturity far surpasses most of us adults at times and I love that! You are so quick to offer a hug and support to anyone feeling down...know that you can always expect the same here. We love you!

[flar7]

besides, you got kittens to care for!;)

[PrincessHLHofMW]

Ohh SS beeing a teen sucks i know! i just got over my im worthless phase! Dont worry everything gets better!

OMG Starlite!!!! I AM listening to Fat Bottomed Girls!!!

:eek: :eek: :p :p :D :D

Thanks guys. I've just been having an off week or so... Moodiness... ugh. :rolleyes: Hehe. Anyways, my kittens are fun, and I love caring for them ;) I love the friends I *do* have. And you know what? That's all I need.

And I don't need my dad anymore. He's been treating me like scum, using that car as a method of control. But you know what? If he's gonna' be like that, I don't want the car. I have been keeping it as clean as any teenager would, I've been looking for a job, I've been taking care of it, hell, I changed the oil last night MYSELF (hehe, you should have seen me I was so proud of myself :p). You know what he said to me?
I said "I keep it as clean as any teenager"
Dad: *rolls eyes*
Me: "Come on, you were 16 once, your car couldn't have possibly been clean.
Dad: "Well... it was different...I'm a guy."

So I immediately went on with the "Oh yes, Dad. I'm a good little woman. I cook clean, and I know how to make babies. I can't WAIT to be a wife! That way I can worship the ground my husband walks on and do everything for him."

Anywho, I don' tneed that abuse. I don't need him. And if he wants his car back, fine. I'll take the bus. :)

big hugs to you! you have stregth and no one can take that away.:D

[Rubi Waters]

(((((SS))))) just hang in there hun. Things change quickly when your that age, better things are just around the corner. :)

[Witchy Cowgirl]

((((SS))))
It is hard being your age. I remember!
Also I'm reminded every day cause I live in a house with 2 teen-agers and one soon to be 7 yr old who thinks he's a teenager!
My mama-in-laws favorite saying is,
"Keep your chin up gal!"

[Grey]

itll get better. bad luck is always balanced by good and all that stuff.
I know how hard it is bein a teen and shoot bein a gall has ta double it! but dont worry I just went through a year-and-a-half- drepression-W/-nagging-parents. It cant be bad forever yah know?

Hope things inprove soon

[Nina]

Hey, SS - you've done the best thing - if you feel like that, come here and tell us!!! You've got friends here who really care, and believe me, that whole I'm worthless thing can happen at any time in your life, teenager or adult. It's just kinda hard to deal with when you are a teenager! I'm 32 and I still get days like that... and days when my parents rat on me as though I'm 12 years old!!!

You're not worthless. Be strong, hug the kitties and believe me, you will feel better soon.
