There are many people who use yahoo to seek help with their problems. Some are depressed, some are lonely, or feel desperate about their situation and don't know what to do. Therefore, when teens post troubles that are important to teens they are seeking advice and someone to understand. However, i find that some people leave comments on their problems and mine, calling us selfish and immature. Breaking up with boyfriends, being dumped, having good friends, feeling alone and needing someone to turn to are all things that surround a teenager's life, no matter how pathetic or stupid these problems may be, they are important to teenagers, and i bet they once mattered to the 'more mature' people leaving these comments. Certainly, our problems will seem stupid compared to adult ones sometimes but it doesn't mean they don't matter.Although i do find adults can help because they have been through it sometimes.Often, i come out feeling worse then better.What do other teens think...or adults?

You are right. There are alot of people on here that are insensitive, but there also are alot that empathize with what people are going through.
Those of us that care, try to word our feelings so we don't sound insensitive, but at the same time, we may have knowledge on what you are going through, so speaking from experience we may sound a little over the top.
In the days that we live in now, there is so many people out here trying to get over on people, in any way they see an opportunity.
So we try to help enlighten those that are seeking help. Sometimes the only way some people can understand something is when you tell it the hard way. My advice to you is, Read all the comments, and take what you can from each one, in order to help your situation.
Comments are just that comments, take what you can and leave the rest alone.
Some of us do care...

I think you are absolutely right. Don't worry Honey, some of us have very good memories. I certainly do. The heartache of love gone wrong is as strong and real to a teen as it is to an adult. The teen yr.s can be great yrs. but, they can also be very, very trying. So many changes, so many potential problems. You are becoming adults in a difficult world and that's not easy. Yes, I remember it well. And I do take your questions and problems seriously.

I was a teenager once and I remember all the"fun stuff" that came with it. Oh yeah, that stuff mattered more than the world to me at that age. When you get older, the teenage years become nothing but a blur so I suppose it's easy for adults to forget those sorts of issues. Try to not take everything to heart, only you know what's best for you.

The way I see it is if you don't have something positive to say don't say anything at all.
One issue may seem trivial to someone but it sure isn't trivial to another
