Oh Aries, you're not old, just chronologically gifted, that's all. ^.^ I do swing on the swings, but when someone comes to the park I get off because I don't want them to think I'm a dork.... which I am sometimes.

I don't personally care what people think! I'm doing what I want, enjoy at the time, screw anybody else & their unwanted thoughts/opions!

Blessings!

I wish I could do that, not care what anyone else thinks, but with all the preps at my school, I'm constantly reminded of my faults, and how I'm /not/ good at things, like gymnastics and running. BUT, I think I'd get in trouble if I just socked them in the face....

I don't think punching somebody really solves a problem, actually to me, it creates more. What you have to remind yourself, as I've told my daughter, no matter how pretty/athletic they are, just remember, they have their problems too! I told her to view them like this, "It's a shallow mind that thinks shallow thoughts, it a strong mind, that really thinks greater thoughts!"

Blessings!

punch a pillow instead or you can be like me and go outside and punch a tree i feel better when i am done!! :|

You're right, it wouldn't, but I can console myself with the fact that in a fight I could beat them to the ground and bash their brains out. BUT, my momma said that if I start karate, and I get in a fight and hurt someone, I can be prosicuted criminally because that counts as a weapon. And one time I punched the wall, but it only made my fist hurt... though kicking the bleachers is fun. ^.^ But I like that saying Aries, and I'll remember it too.

Hi Dead,

Let me start by saying that half this forum doesn't want you kicked off. We were just tired of hearing (or reading) the same ole' thing. With this post we can actually see where you are coming from.

It sounds like you are in quite a pickle...a sad one none the less, but a pickle indeed. Its good to get in touch with your feelings right now. Don't fight the sadness and greive the way you need to. I, however, don't condone punching a tree (distorted). Instead, take your aggression out by running. Just go running. Run as fast as you can for as long as you can. Its a great release.

Hang in there, kid.

dear loadsa life left inside of u . what a wonderfully strong , sensible, loving person you seem to be. with all thats happened to you , you can still think about those who are hurting as much as you are. let me share a secret with you. only secret coz im too ashamed to share it with ppl i know. my husband c.s 6 months ago. im 42. i have 2 boys very young and a daughter aged 18. D was her step dad and bought her up for 13 years. far more of a dad than her real one. i completly cracked up . d c.s on my birthday this year, let me tell you, i lost it. completly. my daughter loves me and her brothers so much that she repotrted me to social services coz i was too into my grief to care propally for my boys. i was drinking heavily and although i thought i was coping... i wasnt. my daughter said to me.. i want my mum back. her love for me and her brothers has brought me onto the next important stage of my grieving process. it takes time. time dosnt heal .its a cliche. time is what you and your loved ones need to go through the different stages of greif. they are all hard . but you have made a most important first step by reaching out to and asking for help from people who truly understand what you and your family are going throughj. stick with mum even when you lose who she is. our world, is tipped off balance when someone close dies, we have to find a new us. love and strenght to you. dea
