People there are different then people where I'm from. Their all like country people that live in a town with less than 2000 people and that includes inmates at the prison. Everyone their knows everyone, The high school doesn't even have 300 students and they all have a certain thing to them and I don't know what it is but I don't like it. And the thing about there is that when I first went their no one talked to me anyway. They hate new kids their. Where I'm at, the high school in town has over 1,000 kids. I think one time I heard it was like 3,000. There's like 36,000 in my town (so I heard, but I don't know if I'm remembering those numbers right). I'm not used to small places and being around people who live out in the country

I mean the city I live in has 1,000 or w/e students and the sc hool I go to has less than 300

Hmmm, and I came from a city situation and spent my teens in a town of 500, mostly farmers, and there were fewer than 400 in my high school, but I turned out OK. Everyone knew everyone--and many were related in some way. I was the "odd ball" who came from somewhere else. I found ways to blend in and make friends. You can too.

Grammar lesson --

they're = they are
their = shows possession, like, their house or their dog
there = a place, like, going over there or what's in there

I know the different theirs I just don't feel like thinking about how I type them. What's your last name? I'm beginning to think I know you. Seems how my teacher goes over that every single day.
I wouldn't be friends with these people if I got paid to be their friend. I just don't like them at all.

They're over there picking their flowers. Did I use them all right?

If you know the difference, please use them correctly. Otherwise, you disrepect not only yourself, but us too.

Boy, you sure carry a grudge.

Perfect! A+++! On their/there/they're. Now, do that ALL the time.

I hate weekends... its hard for me to get through without him... but I'm not crying about it yet... I'm just thinking about my license. I'm really sensative to where if I hear "so n so broke up" and I may not know who they even are but it makes me start to cry. But its only when its like about love or whatever. Its os sad

When I'm typing a lot I'm worried mostly about getting done with what I have to say and north how I spell. It doesn't matter to me how people spell words I can still understand it

It makes me mad typing, I type fast and it takes too long.
I know my to's too. I think.
I went to the store and bought two cakes for you too.
Maybe the sentence is a little off but that's not the point.

Wondergirl, do you have a dog? I'm really beginning to think you are my teacher. I know your in chicago but maybe your lying. Are you?? Do you have 2 sons? I know I'm wrong but you just seem so much like her.

I have four cats. I hate dogs.

Grammar lesson --

your = possessive pronoun - your sweater, your Dodge Neon
you're = you are - you're going to Homecoming, aren't you?

I wanted a dodge neon really bad but I ended up with an escort instead. I hate cats.
I know the yours too. I know you don't need to tell me. I no

Or should I say "KNOW" geezes

Or should I say jesus instead of geezes

I have a Dodge Neon. It has an awesome sound system and fantastic cupholders.

Get good grades in school and graduate so you can get a good job and make money and buy a Neon. I've heard the Prius is very cool too.

Well, I need to ask something? Maybe one of you can help me here so I won't have to start another thread... tell me this sounds like. Well first I got like really sad because I can't stand being stuck in my room all day. I loved my room before but now I'm sick of it so I figured I would leave my room. I went in the living room and just sat there. That's all I did and I got bored so I went back in my room right back where I started and I just started crying really bad. I was trying to figure out what it is that I really want. I thought it was just to get out of the house. That would help a little bit but not enough. I thought some of it had to do with missing him because I get sad every weekend from missing him. Escpesially on fridays and saterdays. So between missing him and wanting to go somewhere that has a lot to do with it and I think that's what was bothering me most. Anyway, my nephew who's always over here, I never did like. I really HATE him A lot. Well, he thinks its funny to be all loud and everything and that's how I ended up always being in my room is because of him always being over. When I am anywhere near him I hit him. When I hear him I go in my room and turn the music up as loud as it goes. Anyway, I asked my mom if we were going anywhere tomorrow and the answer was no as usual. Its been like 2 or 3 months since I went anywhere other than school. I wish yesterday when I didn't feel good I would have went to the hospital instead od just dealing with it myself. Just so I could get out of here. I look forward to school and I hate school. Anyway, after being around my nephew I had to go back in my room, then I cried a little more until I suddenly noticed I wasn't crying anymore and I was really angry. Then after a while I was just really tired and wore out from it all... before any of this I was pretty happy. I just haven't felt this sad since summer break because I couldn't see him at all. But I also was sad because I felt like my life isn't going to last long. I couldn't imagine me having a good future at all... then I thought of one thing... take a guess... Yeah, it was him. And I realized. Hes almost 18 and in a year and a half I'll be 18. We've been together almost 2 years. If we can make it together another year and 1/2 maybe we can at least get ourselves an apartment. Things only get better between us now. They got worse for the longest time but then they got better. And I'll soon know if he's using me or not because I'm not doing anything for him anymore. I just don't get how when we first went out he wanted to break up because we were together 2 months and didn't even hold hands and now he won't do that at all. Well, tell me what you think about any of this

I think you are knocking yourself out to make yourself miserable.

I think if you spent as much time trying to make yourself happy as you do in worrying about things that you would be living a totally different life. You know, you touched on something here. You said you look forward to school - you hate school. Imagine that you decided to pour yourself into something so that you weren't always bored or dwelling on a guy that you really don't even have a relationship with. Imagine, just for a moment, that you decided that you were NOT going to let yourself be sad any more. I wonder what kinds of things would happen in your life??

Hugs, Didi

Ive never had anything even before him. I just would always listen to music all day. There is nothing. And I blame my parents. They don't let me do anything

"Their" is nothing??

You aren't powerless.

It all has to do with choices.

Well, this is odd... My brothers starting to remind me more and more of my boyfriend. Which is making me kind of feel pushed away from my boyfriend and my brother more of a friend. I don't want it to sound like anything really messed up. Lol. My brother jokingly (at least I hope) always puts his arm around me just to be funny. And acts like he's going to kiss me. That's stuff my boyfriend won't even do... but they both take my stuff from me and try to keep me from getting it. And they both make me laugh the same. They are both the 2 funniest people I know. And I don't really believe in that zodiac stuff... but if you do, you may find this interesting. Their birthdays are only 1 day apart but different years. Anyway, I don't want my boyfriend and my brother to be alike. I mean I have almost as much fun talking with my brother as I do with my boyfriend because I can talk about the same things... well, mostly the same things. And its like I'm always laughing. I don't know what to do.

I'm not interested in anything. See, I'm 16 and could have my license but I don't like driving, I hate it. There is something wrong with me. So right now I plan on just working on trying to get that so I can spend time w/ my boyfriend. And remember when I told him we weren't going to do anything? Well, I'm really not going to do anything with him for a while. And I won't say to him "maybe whenever" I'll just tell him I don't want to and we aren't ready or w/e. And see how it goes. But what do you think from what I said in that one post about when he said "okay we wont" and " i want you to get your lisence so i can see you more, not just for that" Do you think it's a lie...
1 more thing about earlier... sometimes I get this where like 1 little thing will make me laugh for like an hour but at the same time 1 little thing will make me cry and its so back in forth at those times. Anyone know why? Other times if I'm happy its hard for me to be sad and if I'm sad its hard to be happy.

There is only one way to find out if he's lying or not. Get your license and then find out how he wants to see you--just to be with you or just to use you.

As for the mood swings -- you are 16 and your hormones are still all over the place. If I were you, I would work real hard at putting some routine and regular stuff into my life and see if that helps my mood swings stop swinging. That means eat right, drink good fluids during the day, start getting yourself into a decent sleep cycle, and do your homework so you can graduate. If you really work at this, the mood swings should stop and you will be as normal as WE are. (*giggle*)

Speaking of normal, it's almost 3 a.m. I'm off to bed.

Lol... well, I woke up early this morning at like 8:30. And I went to sleep at like 3 am too. Anyway, I was kind of tired when I woke up but I was in such a good mood that I didn't want to go back to sleep. Then I went driving with my dad for a couple hours and I think I seen my bf's mom because we went out by where he lives and it looked like her car I saw. I should have acted like I was going to hit her but I probably would have. My dad said I did pretty good and I should be able to pass the test soon. Well, now everything seems olmost like it should be except its not. I just feel like it is almost there.

For some reason I get b's and m's mixed up a lot. Anyone know why? Its all the time, when I'm writing or typing or anything. I always have to correct it. Its not every single time but quite a bit. And I do it with q's and g's too but they almost look alike.but the b's and m's can get to be pretty bad.

And sometimes I wonder if I have dyslexia but that's only because I say get ahead of myself too much and mix things up... like one time I said something about a bag of dog treats only instead I said "a dog of bag treats" and I always say " i need to fish my feed" instead of feed my fish. And sometimes I say things that sound like what I'm going t say but aren't what I mean to say. Like for example instead of "i need to take a shower" I'll say "i need some chicken chowder" Only, not that weird of things... I can't think of an exact one iv'e said right now but it happends.

O and sometimes I'll spell things like way way off. Like weekend I might speel weakened. See, I did it with spell on accident. Right there. Did you see that?

I guess I kind of feel like I did when me and him 1st started going out.

It happens to all of us. It just means your human. It's usually because your mind is going faster than you can speak/type/write.

Dyslexia is a reading/writing problem, not a spoken one.

If you say, "I have to shake a tower," instead of "I have to take a shower," that's called a spoonerism. They're called spoonerisms after Reverend William Archibald Spooner, who lived in Oxford, England in the late 1800s and early 1900s and who supposedly frequently made these slips of the tongue. Spoonerisms are very common, such as "keys and parrots" (for peas and carrots) and "burls and goys" (girls and boys).

I said I do it when I write too

And its hard for me to read sometimes but mainly because I don't pay attention to what I am reading even when I try but I get words mixed up so bad sometimes

It's still a spoonerism, not dyslexia.

Dyslexia is seeing words reversed, like "was" and "saw".

Perhaps you need to slow down and keep your mind on what you're reading or writing?

My boyfriend always says cabause instead of because.. but he does it more of a joke

I don't think I've ever finnished reading a whole book in my life. Ok maybe its not like completely backwards but its like... when I just typed maybe, I almost typed bemay. And smaller words escpessialy and, I spell a lot backwords. But usually not bigger words.

My brother used to say waterlemon instead of watermelon, and sotormycle instead of motorcycle.

Calapiller was nother none... ever nothis how nother is like not her. But is nother a word?

That's me without correcting it or trying to think about what I am talking... I mean typing

See, I do it a lot and it pieces me off.lol
