    Leslie,

    Are you out of school for the summer? What do you do during the day? Do you find ways to have fun?

    Yes. I stay home with my sister (Dense) until mom comes home which is until 3:30. I use my time to clean around the house but Denise just sleeps until like 11:00 in the morning. I however like waking up early but around 8 or 9. But when mom and dad don't work we go to yard sales and the store and flea market. I'm fond with my dad. I'm the one who looks like my dad a lot and the only one with straight hair in the family. I'm unique in my own way.

    They sound like happy tears. I'm glad. That will help get some of your sadness out. Cry when you need to, but also find ways to laugh - jokes, funny people, movies. They will all help to lift your spirits.

    I think you are just at an age where you are beginning to question things and starting to figure out who you are. That takes time. I think I'm only now really understanding myself, though it gets easier every year from your age on. You start figuring out what you are good at, who are your friends, what is important in life. It can be hard, but it's also really rewarding.

    I also need to make things last before I turn 18 which is hard. Though making sure I feel comfortable with the surroundings around me makes me feel like I'm just one person with one mind.

    Have you talked to your dad about how you feel? I was really close to my dad and went to him often.

    Are you allowed out of the house while your parents are at work? I'm wondering if you can do something in your yard.

    No he just comes from work to the shower and to the kitchen and to bed.

    Only in the backyard. In the yard only to take out the trashes.

    I'm not sure what you mean. Can you explain this?

    I was just thinking that I was 11 when I really started reading everything I could get my hands on. I read a book a week, at least - and they were novels, not kids' books. I wonder if you might enjoy that since you like to write and you are smart. It really opens your eyes to what is out there in the world.

    Crying is good. I want you to see your potential. You will be someone who will amount to something. Don't let the ones who don't want to be
    Friend bother you. Their secrets are probably a bunch of gossip and you are much to good for that. Remember, keep writing and stand tall and be glad you have a good brain and the rest of it will fall into place. Keep
    On keeping on and you will be in my prayers... Kit

    I just thought I would say this since I ate ice cream. LOL!

    That would be fun. I love reading and we have tons of books and I love reading manga!

    You're right! I'm going to be my own person and don't mind who other people say!

    Good for you. After reading over this thread, I think you are a little bored with it being summer and you are stuck in your house. You'll be back in school in a month or so. Maybe you can take this feeling with you. Spend some time reading in the next month. Think about what you want. Write, write, write. Maybe when you start school, you can find a teacher or counselor to share your thoughts with - I had some of the best teachers, and I can tell you they love kids like you who are smart and can write. Do really well in school and the world is wide open with opportunities.

    Leslie,

    We loved talking to you. I felt so bad at first and now I have the biggest smile on my face. I think you are going to do great. I hope you come back often and let us know how things are going. You seem like a really sweet and smart girl.

    Don't even think about that until you are old enough. Don't let anyone side track you from becoming a writer or a model. Boys complicate things in Middle School and High School. Talk again soon... Be good.
    And write.

    My mom and dad always told me to be sure and finish college and get started on my career first, and wait until I was at least 25 to get married. You are smart to think this way. You change so much even between finishing high school and becoming 25. You learn a lot about yourself and make much better decisions.

    Maybe you should look into taking some theater classes in middle school or high school.

    I should get going also. I have a meeting in 10 minutes.

    Come back again and let us know how you are doing.

    No. I'm seriously hearing voices even if they aren't here. I hear footsteps and knocking. I'm scared of paranormal stuff and the dark. I'm just not normal. I've seen a spirit once in my little nephew's room.

    Well I believe in the Holy Spirit. There are no such things as ghost. I think sometimes when we are hurt our mind can make us see or hear things. I was taught at a very young age about God and Jesus. I also was taught about Satan.

    God is kind and he loves us. He could make us do what he wanted if he chose but he doesn't he gives us a free will to choose which path to take.

    Satan is a deceiver... he doesn't have the power God has. He can't make us do anything he wants us to do, he tempts us and we can either resist or give in. When you hear these voices and they make you feel angry I can tell you this... say the name of the lord and pray a lot and read your Bible. See if it doesn't give a peace in your heart.

    Thanks. I feel safe when I'm around people but then again only when I know them. I have a lot of crosses around my house to protect us.
