at five i was molested, later in life my parents faught constantly and my dad was later diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder, which explains why he was always a bit off and i never realy had a real male role model or father. later he became an alcoholic and my mom divorced him and i dont ever talk to him or see him so i cut him off and have no father in my life. after the divorce i ended up with a panic disorder and clinical depression which i later beat and overcame. but recently my best friend of 11 years is very involved with drugs
i now am over everything but of course there will always be scars. but i am very into philosophy, quantom mechanics, im compassionate and caring. i also am spiritual but VERY far from any type of organized religeon. and i realy cant relate to other teens and only like adults. however i do have other teen friends.
BTW im only 16

You can blossom and thrive in spite of an unhappy childhood. Unfortunately, a lot of people are made to suffer as children: beatings, rapes, torture, abandonment, neglect, parental divorce and subsequent remarriage with new or stepchildren...
There's hope for you!

No, you are NOT a "messed up person". In fact, you sound like you are more grounded and have more common sense that most people heard from on this forum. No offense to anyone intended.
You have been through hell, but you are obviously strong; you are a good example for others.
I've been a student of Gods Word, studied in the manuscripts for over 30 years now, and I tell you the truth when I say that I have not gone into a church for the entire time, except for a funeral service. The reason for that is because they do not teach what Gods Word says, many teach what man has to say, and then all about the church rules and regulations, and they throw in this tradition and that tradition. Gods Word says that He is not very happy with the churches, and that judgement will start at the pulpit, because so many of them are deceiving people in mass numbers. So don't be discouraged that you don't belong to a church. I tell you this, that with what is taught out there, or better said, not taught, you would be just as blessed if you went to a good baseball game. Keep up the good example, and God Bless you. Hang tough.

You are a messed up person if you let them call you or treat you so. I can see you have suffered, but boy everybody has his/her problems. The important thing is you leave all these bad things back, far away from you. As you have done, I think it is correct.
Every person has scars, too. It is how you deal with them that makes you a successful or a sad one. If you can help your friend, doing drugs won't help him.
It is good you are a spiritual person, God will blessed and help, you never lost the faith. Luck.

Yes, you are messed up.
But then, so are all humans according to their nature. Our greatest failing is not living up to what we WANT to be as a person.
As you get older, you will find that most people just put up a facade, a front, pretending that they are OK when inside they feel just as you do.
Not you, or me , or they can really change themselves to the point we want to be no matter how much therapy we get or self discipline we practice.
But, I tell you from experience, God is able to change us by His power. Sometimes there are great leaps of growth but usually we want to become more whole than the process is taking.
God loves you. He will help you. He has real power to do this for you. You can become a new person who is relaxed in God's rest and able to do great things in your life.
Decide for yourself to go and seek Him and ask for His help in finding Him.
Rom 10:11-13
11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile-the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
(from New International Version)

I don't know a single person who comes from a "functional" family.
OK maybe 1.
You'll beat this.
Ask Jesus to help you and he will.
"I am the way the truth and the life"
You are loved, greatly by God. Let him be the perfect father because he loves you right as you are now!
I just prayed for you Joe,
God bless you hon.

You're no more messed up than anyone else on this planet. You might enjoy reading Noah Levine's account of his own life "Dharma Punx", who is now a Buddhist and speaker. Check out www.dharmapunx.com for an overview... very cool guy.

It sounds like your doing pretty good. As you get older it will only get better. Don't worry about your friend he will probably grow out of it.
