GodsGrace Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 that's an amesome song & it's funny, b/c I can never get through hard times WITHOUT crying...it's like that's all I have left to do...but GOd gave us tears, not to well up in our eyes & throat, but the cry them out b/c it'll make us feel better.
GodsThespianChic Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 Tears might help you feel better emotionally...but they hurt you physically...ya know, when your eyes get all swollen and hurt to look at any light!
Searcher825 Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 I'm not much of a crier, in fact it took a long time to realize that it is okay to cry. So crieing, is fine.. in fact if you feel like crying you shouldn't hold it back you should just cry.. but just don't forget God. He will comfort you. But weather you remember Him or not He's there, that's the amesome thing..
GodsThespianChic Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 Yep, He's always there whether you wanna think He is or not. And that IS def. the cool part of Him!!
GodsGrace Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 yes it is the cool part...but sometimes it gets me down b/c I feel like if I do, or say something bad in His presence, I feel like I let Him down, & that feeling STINKS!
GodsThespianChic Posted July 10, 2003 Posted July 10, 2003 Yeah, but He's also soo loving and so forgiving that He will forgive you...if you ask...and I think that's amesome. Cuz God don't hold grudges if you're sorry, and He knows if you are or not...because He can always look into your heart. God is Love...so it's kinda comforting.
GodsGrace Posted July 10, 2003 Posted July 10, 2003 yea...I'm not as forgiving as I should be...but I'm working on it.
~*AnCoRa33*~ Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 I could have voted so many, but I chose the "not being understood" I come from a "good family" and i know it!! My family is GREAT... but because of that, people assume that I don't have any problems or that if I do I talk to my parents..... I go to a private Catholic school, so there is alot of one-on-one attention........ but I don't get it because I'm a "good girl". I'm thirteen, and they think I don't have problems...... I'm also the middle child and the only "calm one" in the fam so I have to keep up a good front and, well, honestly, some of the things I kind of..... don't want to talk to my parents about..... its just weird........ I had this one teacher (he's 25) that I really liked, I talked to him, but now, school's out and even still, he never understood me. Here's an example of....... not being understood....: I am planning on going to a boarding school in Rhode Island this coming school year. I'll talk to my family 45min. every week, see them 5 days at Christmas, Thanksgiving and 2 weeks in the summer!! I am 13, and I am leaving my family!!!! On top of that, after I leave, they are moving to another state!!!!! Everybody thinks I'm so GREAT for knowing what I want to do and leaving home...... but honestly, I know I'm suppossed to be here, but I feel SO PRESSURED to go (My sister just graduated from there) Everyone just thinks that I'm GREAT about it and there's no doubt in my mind, AND THERE REALLY ISN'T, I just need someone to talk to about it.... Anyway..... that really didn't make any sense....... but I'll try and sort it out later, I'm getting kind of emotional right now......... I NEED A HUG!!! Pax Christi, Rebecca <><
crusader1234 Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 I couldn't handle boarding school, if I ever left home I'd totally ditch education. So far I've been having trouble with my close friends picking a side in a fight (two of us within the group fought and I guess I lost)... but I'm none to concerned about that. My parents aren't exactly a perfect couple, but I deal with that. What I cant stand abuot being a teen is hormones. Not only does it give you acne and stuff (luckily I dont have to deal with this) but it totally wreaks havoc on your soul. I can deal with just about anything but how do you fight chemicals? Sexual urges and all that drive me nuts. I can't wait till im 90 years old and my wife is wrinkeled and we'll be too tired to be attracted to anything. (Just kidding, I only want adolescence to end... although I do wish I could just retire and play golf)
StColette Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 My toughest thing I face as a teen ( turns 20 in Nov. ) is College. Coming from a single parent household and depending completely on the scholarships I received to put me through college practically sent me into a complete stage of stress my entire senior year of high school. Well, that was over a year ago now, I just finished my first year of Pre-Vet Med. and now I face yet another stressing thing. Applying for Vet. school in a few years !!!! Its tougher to get into Vet school then into Med School because there are only 28 Vet schools in the US compared to the many Med. Schools. I'm dependent on getting a job in a Vet. Clinic because without that work experience I won't even have a chance of gettin accepted in. Soooo as you can tell I'll be stressed until I get that job and know for sure that I'm in Vet. School lol
GodsThespianChic Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 Hi StColette...I totally feel you on the single parent thing. I'm having to totally depend on scholarships and student loans too. I have my senior year ahead of me, and I'm going to be trying to get scholarships and financial aid the whole time.
ilovechrist Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 whoa... can't i pick all of the above?? they all are so tough..
~*AnCoRa33*~ Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M STRESSING HERE!!!!!!!!!! I go away on the July 21st to discern if I REALLY am going to go to this school!! I'LL BE GONE FOR FOUR WEEKS!!!! AND I CAN ONLY WEAR SKIRTS!!!!!!!!!!! MY MOM WON'T TAKE ME SHOPPING!!! EVEN IF SHE DID, THER ARE NO GOOD, MODEST, NOT-TRENDY, SKIRTS OUT THERE!!!!!!! AND, NOT ONLY AM I LEAVING HOME FOR 4 WEEKS, BUT MY NEICES, WHO I HAVEN'T SEEN IN FOREVER, ARE COMING THE DAY I LEAVE!!!!!!! YET, PEOPLE WONDER WHY I AM A WRECK AND AM STRESSED!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOBODY UNDERSTANDS ME!!!!!!!!!!
Maddalena Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 My problem is that a year and a half ago me and my family had horrible financial problems, and we moved back to Texas. Mama was going to home-school me but she had to get a job so she trusted me to do my work while she and Daddy were at work. Well, I was extremely lazy and didn't do any school work at all for a year. We weren't enrolled in a home-schooling course so I didn't think it was far to do old work we had and then go to a new school and go in as a senior. It was that and the fact that I was lazy. So, anyway, I stayed home for a year, and the only friends I've had for a year and a half (besides online friends) were my cousin and another friend. For a long time, I would go to Mary's (my cousin) house and spend the day with her. Sometimes we'd hang out with Mary's friend but they're SO WEIRD, and I want some CATHOLIC FRIENDS. Recently, she's gotten a boyfriend and never puts away any time for me. e.e I don't like him at all. He's rude, and he flirts with me (he's not attractive at all so I'm not bragging. ) by trying to hug me or touch me (not in any place questionable). If I said he was flirting with me, Mary would just say "Oh, he does that with everyone." That would be my cue to break up him right away. o_o Mary pays for EVERYTHING and drives him EVERYWHERE. Granted that he's younger than she is (which I don't aggree with either, not at this age, anyway), and it just makes me furious. :angry: So, since she's gotten her boyfriend, I barely see her, and I don't set foot outside the house, unless I go somewhere with my parents. Luckily, I have my brother with me to keep me sane. I'm really, really shy. I recently decided that God wanted me to go to the youth groups held in the neighboring town (our church doesn't have one) so I'll make some new friends. I noticed that one of the admin. people at phatmass was the youth minister at the town next to mine so I e-mailed him about it. He told me to come and join and also come to a retreat they're having. One of my friends was gonna go with me but he parents won't let her anymore. I keep thinking that maybe God wants me to do this by myself. I want some good Catholic friends (that's why I come here a lot), and my friend that was coming with me isn't a very good Catholic so maybe He just wants me to do this by myself or something.... I am going to school this fall, though, so I'll have yet another opportunity to make my own friends. I'll have eight people in my class. It's a tiny christian school near my house. I can't wait 'til I get to go, though. I'm going to work my tale off. Eh, I'm ranting and syaing stuff I shouldn't (about Mary's boyfriend). Thanks to anyone who took the time to read my long, boring post. :3 I don't know y'all very much but I really like coming here because y'all are so nice (and Catholic. Muwahah.) .

StColette Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 One of the best scholarship sites I know is www.fastweb.com
