*HUGS* I'm just...really upset right now......I wish people actualy thought about what they type. Maybe if they did they would see that I'm not just a machine checking the forum, I'm a real person with feelings. I wish people would stop thinking I'm the bad guy and stop saying I'm always wrong. IT HURTS YOU KNOW! I DON'T LIKE BEING TOLD I'M STUPID AND WORTHLESS! UGH!!!!!!! I want scream and cry and hit someone up aside the head..........I'm so stressed out.....I just....ugh! I feel like killing myself, and I think I may do just that. THose people...they've just drove me to this! I'm tired of these people.....I...I....ugh! No one understands anything.....

*hugs* Sometimes people get stressed out, and they do idiotic things. I don't think that you're stupid and worthless; and from your posts that I've read, you seem smart, and nice. And I don't even know you! I bet that in RL you are even more amazing. <3
Please don't commit suicide. Don't let idiots take away your life; you are worth so much! Think about everyone you love, everyone that loves you. Think about what you have OUTSIDE the computer.

*Hugs all* I'm so worried right now. My best friend has kind of started smoking (she says she's 'only' had five in one day). She's fourteen so she's obviously underage, she says she's not addicted but last time she came over (which was my birthday, darn it) she was jittery and constantly glancing over at the pub across the road to see if there was anyone she could get one off. She wouldn't stop until she and my other friend went into town to see if she could get hold of any, and they kind of forced me to come too and then moaned at me when I hung behind, not wanting to be seen with them on that kind of mission. I won't let her make me start too, but I'm worried about her. She seemed so different that evening...

And on top of that I'm being pretty much forced into going to the cinema to see Eclipse with her and another friend. When they suggested it (on my birthday, again) I just said yeah, maybe, because I knew they wouldn't stop pestering me until I gave in and I didn't want to spoil the day being bothered about it, and besides, I didn't think it would actually happen. Thing is, I don't like the cinema and I don't like twilight so I have no reason to want to see the film, and I don't know how to tell them I don't want to now.

Sorry about the length of that XD I needed to tell someone. I hadn't told anyone about the first thing and it's bothering me so much. It all started because of another girl, who my best friend hangs out with but who I frankly hate. There's pretty much nothing likeable about her but she apparently hangs out with her because 'she can be fun'.

Try and talk her out of it, research about smoking and get all the negative parts and tell her about it. Show her pictures of things that have happened to people who smoke. Hopefully she'll get put off it, and if she doesn't, tell an adult that you trust immensely. They should be able to help even further. I don't know much about smoking and that, so this might not be awesomely awesome advice, but you can give it a go.

[Cottleston]

Thanks Anova :3 That's a good idea. I shall talk to her about it next time I see her. At the moment I guess it's not too bad but I know this is how these things start and I feel like I need to stop her before she messes herself up- she has a great relationship with her mum but I think she's keeping this secret from her, and as well as everything else it would be terrible if they fell out.

*Hugs* 'Only' five a day? On what scale is that seen as 'only'? I agree with Anova. You should also tell her mom. This is something she should know about. And she doesn't have to know that her mother found it out from you. You should probably tell your parent(s) too. Try to council with her and tell her how worried you are. And do what Anova said.

Oof. Show her gross pictures of people who smoke and get sores on their lips and yucky feet and stuff like that.
And tell her mum. Smoking is serious.

[Cottleston]

I think if it gets worse I will tell her mum, and mine. I'll talk to her about it first. Thing is, I'm not sure her mum trusts me- she thinks I'm a bad influence on her or something (though she's perfectly happy for her to hang out with this other idiot friend).
And to make matters worse now she's being a bleeeeep to me about the whole canceling- out- on the- cinema thing. The other friend's really understanding about it and says I don't have to come if I don't want to, but the first friend (let's call her A to save further confusion) thinks she's so grown- up and can kinda advise me on how to act? And she's the one smoking XD Yeah, like I'm gonna be doing anything she recommends.

[Anova]

Haha, seems like my advice is actually good XD
*hugs Sparky again* Hope it works!

[Cottleston]

She apologised to me about the smoking thing, she says she feels awful for making me worried and unhappy about it. So, there's a start!
I'm really just going to see how it goes. She's a good friend and losing my respect might just be enough of an incentive for her not to carry on.

Show your friend teh pictures. We do intensive drug/alcohol/tobacco abuse units at school, and the pictures. Are not. Pretty.
Especially the part when we had to watch an autopsy on a smokers body. The lungs were covered in black stuff; it was super gross. D:>
And the shriveled 30 year-old lady who started smoking at 16. She was gross. Looked like 60. Had a voice box.


I'll leave it to you to find icky pictures, 'cause I already have to deal with them at school. ;D
Ick.

I need hug. D:
I've posted in the TaN fan club thread asking for critique, but I've only gotten one so far. People keep on totally ignoring my posts, and I really want the charrie I'm trying for! I want to make my forum as good as possible... and no one at the 'Critique Cafe' is responding either. ;_;
