Adolescent - October 2007

I remember even back in grade 8 (where students were 13-14 years old) the teachers told all the students of there is a bully bullying you, or cussing at you, you are supposed to report it to the teacher or adult in the school.

I think this is the exact opposit of what you should do, telling on a teacher from a bully will get you picked on even more, and more people will think you are a wussy little snitch. The truth is, only way to counter this is to take care of it yourself, tough it out. You always expierence a bully one time in your life.

Why do teachers insist on telling students this? It only gets them picked on more.

What do you think about that?
What are they teaching our kids? To have sex but not get pregnant? This is crazy!

WHY not condoms since birth control doesnt help prevent against diseases.

But I woldnt want any of it being offered AT SCHOOL..

When I'm swimming at the waterslide park it's like out of nowhere I've gotta pee, like really badly. Like most waterslide parks the bathrooms are far away by the entrance and I feel I can't hold it that long, to walk all the way over.

What do you do, if you've been in my situation?

I hate it how adults says O teenagers are so bad and disrespectful! You were teenagers once too so so it really annoys me when they say stuff like that! I like to go to parties some that may get out of control but whats wrong with that? Whats wrong with having fun? Whats wrong with loving your boyfriend and when you do show that you love him they call you a slut? The truth is nothing is wrong with any of those! Adults need to stop being so uptight and open their eyes and realize that teenagers aren't bad! They just want to have some fun! Whats so wrong with that? Anyone else agree?

I eat healthy and regularly exercise.

Oh and how much do you grow after the age of 14?

How much does your diet affect your height? By eating healthy how much taller will i grown then if i had eaten junk food?

My mom and dad have always pushed me to get straight A's. I'm in 8th grade this year and my mom said if i tried my best and got B's she would be fine with it. (she promised me) So heres what i got on my report card:

Math: 98
Reading: 97
Science: 96
Social Studies: 86
Writing:98

She got so angry when she saw the B, and it wasn't even a low B. I got yelled at and everything!!!!

What would make her yell at me like this if she said i was allowed to get B's this year? I only got one B!!!

My 15 year old daughter was killed 4 weeks ago in a crash. It was her boyfriends birthday and they went out with four of there mates and yes they were drinking but allot of teenagers do. My daughters best mate was supposed to be going out with them that night as well but couldnt. so they were taking loads of pictures and videoing themselves to show her what a laugh it was,( i had lent them my camera, thats how i know this). Anyway at about 11:30pm. one of my daughters mates brothers said he'd pick them up and take them for a spin in his knew car. so the all squeezed in and he crashed. Only one of them survived to tell the story of what happened. But we do have the pictures and videos they made. my daughter and her boyfriend both died at the scene. i dont know what to do with my self i cant go a minute without thinking about it and her best mate has broken down. i dont know what i can do with myself at the moment, i want to make myself remember her in a good way but i dont know how

I resently stsarted colledge and I was really suprised at how immature and unintllegent some of thd stewdents in my clases are. Its just like shcool, peaple are throughing paper airoplanes around and argeuing with the teachers. One guy can hardely spell his own name! It has become apparant that a lot of the stewdents in my classes are ther just for the moniey. Yes, poor unecudated stewdents from poor unecudated backgrounds get given £30 from the govement a week.

I was cleaning up his laundry the other day and happened across a questionable magazine in his room. It was filled with un-Godly material! I'm sure that some girl must have left it there by accident. I don't want to make a big deal about this, but I also want to let him know that sneaking girls into our house is not okay.

How should I let him know that he's not allowed to fool around any longer?

There's this girl who works at my place, she is 15, I am 16. We were getting on well and then I found out she has like a 19 year old boyfriend with a fast car and most likely facial hair and a big penis. Seriously though, these guys must be complete retards to go out with someone 4 years younger than themselves. Its annoying because they are taking all the lasses that are my age. What next, I'll probably be going out with 11 year olds?

My parents are pushing me for driving lessons when I turn 17 in April. Personally I dont feel ready to drive and I might not be safe, plus I dont think I need them yet. Im at College now and I just use the bus and I feel that taking my test and then getting a car would be pointless until I have left College. Plus I dont have much of a social life so I dont need to be anywhere if you know what I mean?

Okay, this is really hard for me to say, but I need to help myself.

Heres what happends: We moved to kentucky two years ago because my dad got a job offer. She used to be fine in colorado because we had family and friends. Now, she is EXTREMEMLY moody. She will be happy for one week and take me and my sister places and act like a mom should.. but then the next week she wont get out of bed and says shes having a breakdown and how were "so hard" kids. She talks on the phone all the time when shes like this, and she wont leave the house.

My dad travels too, so when hes gone I cant have any friends over (My mom is to drunk) and its too embarresing to do anything. She wont take me to school (I cant ride the bus, im in walking distance) and she wont do ANYTHING.

Then the week after that (If im lucky) she will be fine and deny ever being "crazy"

Please help, I was crying a ton today.. and I feel like my soul is like just breaking down. I dont understand.

Im only 13.

My daughter has a boyfriend that is 18 and drives. Even though I took her to the doctor's to get birth control, she ended up getting pregnant and terminating the pregnancy. I have been very strict with her (even before the above mentioned) regarding where she can drive with her boyfriend and that I want her to not drive with him at night. My ex husband thinks I'm too strict! She and he think I should let her stay out until 9 pm on weekends. It's not the "time" that's the prob., it's the fact that it gets dark here around 7 pm now and will get dark earlier as the months past. He only has 1 year of driving experience and has shown that he's not "responsible". I don't want to be too rigid but I worry about the choices she makes. Thanks for your honest, caring answers.

Ok well I have had this diary for 3 years now. I haven't written in it much and there is only one thing I regret ever righting in there. Well two years ago my mom died in a car crash. I was angry, confused, hurt, and stupid so I wrote this: "Ug I hate Derek (my brother)! HE IS THE WHOLE REASON WHY MOM DIED! If only he didn't need to be picked up from his stupid running class mom would still be alive! I HATE HIM!! I will never forgive him!" He unfortunately read that. We have been best friends since a month after my mom died because we moved from place to place, country to country, always having problems with paying for things, so we relied on each other being the older siblings (I am now 16 he is now 18). Now he is locked in his room, and won't talk to me. I don't care that he read my diary so much it is just I feel so stupid! How could I do that! He won't open his door? How can I talk to him. I can't get my Dad he is at church with my other 2 sisters. What should I do??
