What metal bands do you like? I played in a punk rock band for several years... differences do come up that's for sure. Can I have some of Wondergirl's cookies too?

Aha Thank you and no I didn't, should I have?

Bring Me The Horizon, The Devil Wears Prada, A Day To Remember... Cool and yeah, they were ****'s. Go ahead, eat all you want.

Good morning, Tom!

Tell me two good things about YOU. (I can think of at least four.)

Devil Wears Prada... I think a friend of my brother-in-law is dating someone from that band. If you're going to go there, tell me you like Zao and Living Sacrifice as well??

Don't know them, sorry... And two good things, hmm, I'm easy-ish to talk to? I have friends who like me... what are your four about me?

1) You're empathetic.
2) You know when you need help.
3) You know how to ask for help.
4) You're a good writer. (Teachers must love you.)

I suppose... I got an F in English

Me again... not only did you reach out here but your responses are nice, so all in all it sounds like you have a solid base underneath the despair. And we haven't even gotten to the dog yet. I understand how you can like music, like your friends and dog and love your family, and still feel like you shouldn't be alive. I have felt that too. That's about all I can offer - you are not alone.
Some of teenage angst is hormonal. Each of us gets a different dose of them, different combinations, and they ebb and flow from minute to minute. Girls can plummet into depression and anger from fluctuating estrogen and progesterone (and they have testosterone too) and boys can have surges of testosterone, the horomone of aggression. It's possible that you have that and are taking it out on yourself, being a good person who doesn't want to go conquer any countries. It's also possible to have other chemistry that's out of sync like adrenaline and dopamine and seratonin. And it's possible to have situational reasons, events in your life that have affected your outlook. You can go to doctors but unless you have all sorts of expensive tests, they are shooting in the dark and give out meds and start talk therapy. That works for some people and not others. Any thoughts on all that? Also, do your friends and family ever notice what you are going through, or do you really keep it all inside?

I sometimes tell them but I just feel like I'm annoying them and I have therapy but my next appointment isn't until the 29th... And he's a British Bulldog, 13 this month.

I'm glad to see you again! Are you in school yet? (How on earth did you ever manage to fail English?? )

Because I had a mental breakdown during the exam and I'm in college but had the day off today.

Good to see you again. How did that mental breakdown during the exam show itself? What happened afterwards? (I flunked college English 101, had to take it over again the next semester.)

What courses do you have this semester?

I just put my head down on the desk trying not to explode in anger in tears... I guees you could say I "absorbed" myself so I suppose it did a bit and I felt horrible because I knew that I'd messed it up. Just Health & Social Care.

How does Health and Social Care look?

I meant to type "guess" haha...

Merh, it's okay, haven't had a proper lesson yet though.

What career do you hope to have someday? (Or will you be like me, trying out all sorts of different things?)

What's your dog's name? Thirteen is getting old for a dog, isn't it? I have a cat who's 19, and he's an ancient guy.

I want to be a Counciller, the therapy side of it, mainly working with children or teenagers, his name's Jasper and haha! Wow, that is old...
