geez, we are not alone in this world, even though at times we sure feel like it. we ALL have had experiances in our lives. tater, you asked 'how am I suppose to live my life?' Remember, you asked. Did you want some advice? Company? Many here who care for you have responded with some good advice and examples of their lives. Growing up is not easy, never for any one is it easy. A womans body with a childs mind. Same for men and boys. If you want changes in your life, YOU have to make them. Good things will come to you, in time.
Sorry to say, we have had and felt what you are going through in your life, and that is why we care, as we don't want anyone else to feel our pain.

Here is a prayer, I repeat this daily, all through the day, and it has helped me...
God, grant me the serenity, to accept the things I cannot change.
And change the things I can.

Sorry, didn't mean to blow up on you guys like that. We all have those days. When everything goes wrong and you freak out at people who are totally uninvolved and innocent

I appologize. Just to much stress for one person...

Sit, relax, get comfortable...inhale with your nose slowly, hold for a few seconds, then exhale with you pursed lips slowly. Do this about 3-5 times, and it does help a bit.

We all care about you and wish I could just give you a hug, a long hug!! I have a neice named after me, and 5 weeks before her wedding, she had a stroke, and almost died. This stroke changed her whole life, as from it she had brain damage, where she had to take a different job( she was a broker). She cannot have children now, she cannot shop alone, or aniety attacks take over. Just everything changed, but she has always done one thing the same, she is the best hugger, the longest hug in the world, and she won't let go of you for long moments. At first, I found myself pulling away, as I didn't understand the reason. But she is giving you not only her hug, but her love. I now look forward to these hugs!! So Tater, the best I can do is send you a really long hug, and do hope you feel the warmth and love in my heart!!♥♥

Tater, I was afraid of this...we all say our opinions here, but words of adults often seem to lack sensitivity. Although you can be sure that every person old enough not to be understood by teenagers (well sorry...just might the case for most of us) did come across hopeless situations. Sadly, nobody gets away without their share of suffering.

Forgot to mention...the title of this topic caught my eye. If anybody would actually know how to live, we wouldn't need friends or advice.

Puberty really Sucks! pimples suck, I recommend watching Queen Latifah in Beauty Shop, ( I LOVE QL she's a great role model for teenage girlz), the one where she asks her daughter "Do these jeans make my butt look big?" her daughter says "yes" and Queen Latifah slaps her butt and says "GOOD!" That attitude is far better than worrying what some school doctor says. Exercise is great for making us feel better because it gets endorphins going but do something at your own speed. I do Tai Chi which is one of the best exerceises ever and it is SLOWWWWW. Yoga too. Fast is not better you can tell your gym teacher I said so!
A native American freind told me, when you have a lot of things bugging you, find a hole in the ground, like a gopher hole, or hole under tree roots, speak everything that's in your heart and mind in to that hole, if your angry, sad, confused, whatever shout , yell, cry , scream, laugh,vomit, whatever you feel, tell the earth mother, she can take all that energy and use it to make new things grow and is happy to relieve us of our burdens. The first time I tried it i almost laughed to death, I felt so silly yelling in a hole, but HEY it made me fell alot better. Important to thank the earth after.
You can also do a similar thing, writing everything down on paper that your tired of holding onto and burn it. let the fire transform it. Be careful where you do that tho! Hope your feeling better.

potatoesoftheworld

You can't. Sorry.

Dragon

Oh potatoes, you removed all your pictures. That makes me sad, I always enjoyed your work and your conversation. I hope things start to turn around for you, remember there's lots of people here who've never met you but care about your well being just the same.

I, too, am sad to see that Tater has checked out for the most part. She is always welcome to appear again.

lilalee
