Topic : Teen Talk

 oh, I just turned 18 in sept. haha. anyway Yea I don't know alot of people who have what we both have but it's not rare. I know it's not. But yeah, I have what you have. I always think someone's right behind me. I think it's my brain playing with me but then when you go to school and you have a student bringing up subjects like theres alot of kidnappers outside when its dark and murderers and i mean there's so much bad stuff going on. and What's worst is since the economy is bad some of the jailers are released. and Every night I'm thinking about them then minute I'm outside. Alot of the times I'm tired because of this. It takes me hours to sleep.

I'm hard of hearing myself..I wear hearing aids ok..now when I go to sleep i take my hearing aids out and of course I can't hear anything unless it's loud. well during the night I hear crazy things in my head and if I close my eyes I see weird things. I'm not kidding. so I think it's like a phobia thing that we have in mind.

I'm sick of this. I don't know how to get rid of it.

What happened last night (11/9/08) was awfully scary. I went to my neighbors house for dinner at 6 or 7pm I hated the dark. so I ran up as fast as I could. well we got done with dinner and hung out for a bit. and when it was 9:40pm I went back home panicing because I'm outside. and and theres silence. Cars driving by and they're driving slower than usuall and I always think they're going to stop on the side of the road and chase me. I went home and locked the doors since I'm home alone for 4 days. at 11:45pm my dog starts barking like crazy like somethin's outside. I grabb the phone and dial 911 but I decided not to call just yet. Still my dog starts barking like crazy but I waited until theres an extreme emergency. but there was none. so the rest of the night I slept in the living room to watch what's going on. I think someone was on our yard just like it happened last year. so NOW, im worried about tonight.

during the daytime, I'm great but during the night..I'm awful.

crazy crazy crazy.

Helloooo there. I just turned 18 this year and still in high school. and I'm chynae[pernounced shinay]

anyway I have noticed that parents don't want their teenagers to date. I think it's because too many girls are getting pregnant at such a young age. Maybe they're worried about that. well If your parents or her parents are making up stories such as you forcing her to do things did you have your girlfriend tell her parents the same story as you? If she has, then her parents should trust her. by the way, how old is she?? maybe it's the age difference? Maybe her parents prefer her to wait until she gets older to date. who knows.

Trust me, parents are more strict and make boundaries now a days because there are so many pregnancies out there and they dont want the same with their daughters.

thats my theory...?

Hi. I'm Lore, totally new to this site but I love Dr. Phil ;)

I just wanne talk about my feelings and my problems in my life. They're nothing big, but all together, it's just... too much!

Just a little about me, so that you can place yourself in my position better.

My parents divorced when I was 11 years old. My father (then) was agressive and always in a bad mood. He and my oldest brother always had fights (physically) and I was always in them. I mean, I always saw them fight. They often got so bad that the police had to come to our house.. There was nothing we could do but watch, cause I was under the age of 11. But anyways, they are divorced for 6 years now and I've got a stepfather... I don't really know how I feel about him and he's been my stepfather for 4-5 years. Some times I feel that he's a good addition to the family but sometimes, I just hate him.

Every time I ask my mother something, her response is influenced by my stepfather and most of the times the answer is negative. He also put some kind of program on my laptop so that I have restricted hours on internet. I have internet 3 hours a day, while I have homework to do, and a lot of stuff for my training period. I work in an office where people ask for jobs. Every day, I have to make a report of what I've done that day and I have to describe every single document that they have, almost every week. Besides that, I get huge tasks about a fake company in Access, Excel, Word, etc. It takes a lot of time and I only have 3 hours a day. It's not enough.

My parents are really strict on me. Agreed, I'm a girl and only 17 years old but all of my other friends just say; 'Bye mom, won't be home for supper' and their parents are ok with it. I always have to arrange something at least 2 days before it happens. Whenever I want to sleep at a friends house, my mom has to know their parents. That's idiotic! My mom doesn't have to know all my friends' parents... <__<

I just think that I don't have enough freedom around here.

Any suggestions?

       hey i know how you feel, ive been that way to. before when i was in school i read alot or i went walkn. yeah its lonely but i guess i got used to it. im still a homebody i dont like it but all well, you just gotta find a hobby you like.

      hey ima tell you straight up its ok to not want to be involved with that, why, because youll end up like me with a baby,  im a female but i started to early and didnt get to finish persuing my education in college so yeah im happy for you

       wow finally someone like me. i know exactly what you are talkn about.  me im 18 and out of high school but i remember when people would act like that, it is just so ridiculous but some people you just cant talk no sense into them. They think life is a big joke.

My 16 yr old grandson lives with me.  Recently, he talked to me about his ex-g/friend, being pregnant.  She is 15.   They broke up, now there is to be a baby.   This is a major dilemma and there are so many lives affected, with questions galore. 

First of all, neither of them are ready to parent a child.   He still watches cartoons for heavens sake and has 1 1/2 yrs of school left.   That is if he can pass the CA High School Exit Exams before then. 

She has more issues than any young girl should ever have to face.  She says, She was molested by her brother, she's a cutter, she's threatened suicide (if they break up), and she has to keep the baby because it will be all that she has, everyone else has deserted her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Both of them agree they were irresponsible.   He has tried to talk to her about adoption, but she refuses to listen.  He's explained, "they are too young."  That he can't financially take care of a baby.  She refuses.   There was a meeting between the families and he stepped up to say he would do what is right.  Of course, he wants to do the right thing.  But she took that as being together again and starting hounding him about moving into my house.   No way.  

She's 15, her family has to take care of her.   They have told her, she can not live there after the baby is born.   She can not live here.   So she keeps thinking that my grandson will take care of her and the baby after it is born.    What a mess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are there others out there with similar situation??????  Would like to hear from you.  Thanks

So ive been having a major issue with my high school. I'm a junior and i'm very close to counting down the days until i graduate. i have no interest in my school and really wish i didnt have to go most the time. Its relatively small.. I'm respected greatly by all the teachers and staff although students it's different. I am really frustrated right now because I feel like no one appreciates anything I do. My bestfriend has a great boyfriend for her...but he seriously can't stand me and i can't stand him. Also i am very involved with one group in our school. i am in an officer position and love it. although the the others on my team don't want to be there. maybe im overexagerating but really it's gone on long enough. i would transfer but i feel like if i do that i'm running away from my problems... Any suggestions
