why am i crying over karen carpenters death

the one that happened about fourty years ago ah??
yeah, i feel bad as well.. she practically starved to death..
but dont worry about her, she was very talented and i bet shes in a better place now <33

some advice would be greatly appreciated.

i really want to get into a good college, and so far it isnt going well. I had all As and crap except one C last quarter, and im trying to get my grades up for this quarter as well. What freaks me out is that I have midterms. And I swear, I am going to fail the heck out of those tests.

Ever since about two years ago, when I was in middle school, my grades started plummeting. The problem? It was probably a mix of not knowing what was being taught and just going through puberty i guess.
I thought it was going to be a small phase, but it wasnt. And I hate myself for it. I was at the top of my class, now im somewhere in the middle of failing and getting a high grade. I just dont understand how other students are so smart. They juggle sports, school and social life in one sitting. I dont know what the heck is wrong with me. Yeah, I do admit to procrastinating, which is proabnbly why my grades started floppin around when they did, but my smarts,, are just gone??
to those who are at the top of their class- could you help a fellow classmate out? What is your secret? How do i not fail my midterms????

Ahh recently I haven't been able to sleep very well until eventually 3 in the morning
I put some relaxing music on but it's not enough, it seems like every song I heard today is in my head!
Aaah I just wanna sleep

that happens to me sometimes. try setting an alarm and waking up very
early, then eventually you'll need sleep so you'll go to bed earlier. it works
like a charm c; music is probably not the best idea? at least - i wouldn't
try it. it seems like it would keep you up. good luck!

Well it's basically just bird noises I listen to but thanks for the advice!

i really havent been on chickensmoothie in a while, but i just need somewhere to put my feelings, because im really just confused about my friendships.

well, i have a friend group built up of eight people, including me. i'll give you guys the basic run-down of them.

s- she's one of the most popular girls my age in my area. shes really nice to all of us, and remains neutral.
a- at times i love being friends with her, but most of the time i don't want to be friends with her. she's basically been my "best friend". she's also really good friends with s.
d- we used to be great friends when we were younger, but she's beginning to be A's new best friend, i feel like.
r- all of us don't really like her. she's really mean, and thinks she has tons of authority because her mother works in admissions at my school. we're all still polite though.
these next three girls are besties but still hangout with the other girls in the group.
c- i want to be friends with her. however, my old crush, who i literally liked for 5+ years, likes her.
e- she's really nice, and i also want to be friends with her.
g- she's goofy and funny, and i really want to be friends with her.

now that i'm done the "bios" ill get to the problem. i've started to be best friends with A since the beginning of the 2015 summer. however, she's very manipulative and i hate to say this but, spoiled. our friendship is built upon: i do a favor for you, you do a favor for me. well, she always guilt trips me through this method, i guess. i always complain to my family about her, making them begin to hold a grudge against her. my mom always tells me: "friendships give eachother energy, not take it away", which is very true. but i just can't find a good friend, i guess. this whole situation i'm in just stresses me out, and gives me an unfair amount of anxiety. as you are reading this, you're probably just going to say: obviously go for c, e, and g. well, tonight the three of them, and another girl in my grade, went to a trampoline park, with my old crush, and two other boys in my grade. i wasn't invited. i know someone can't be invited to everything, but this has happened before. theres this club that girls' in my grades' dads belong to, and they host an annual halloween party every year. everyone in my friend group last year was invited, except for me. not to mention, we even all had matching costumes. but i really want to do something on new years with the three. i just really don't know how i feel, but my self esteem is honestly going very downhill.

I love Christmas. I really do. But it's hard to be in the Christmas spirit when you barely have enough money to get decorations or a tree, when your mom is sick and you can't go anywhere fun, or when you stay at home alone all day because your parents need to go to work. I just feel very lonely and left out during the holidays.

emotional abuse is real abuse, so why won't anyone listen?
am i not worth it?

You are worth it! Sometimes you just have to find the right people Hun. Some people aren't kind enough and some may not know how to listen or respond in the right way. Just hang in there Hun, it will get better. Pm me if you like <3

is it too much to ask for my family for christmas?

[Vincent Van Goat]

I know you guys are tired of me posting here, but i could really use a pm right now

I'm tired of people yelling at me
And calling me names
And leaving
I just wanna leave too

So I got invited to my first coworker holiday party tomorrow night. I'd be elated... but my mom won't let me go.

Now keep in mind I'm a legal adult, so I should have more freedom to go out and do stuff like this. I've been away at college too, so going out to a party is no new thing for me - something she knows as well. The main thing that's stopping her from letting me go is the fact that I'll have to drive myself to and from the party, and that she doesn't trust other people on the road. Even though I've driven myself home at 1AM from a concert that was a half hour drive from home.

It's just killing me inside a bit, knowing that my parents still have a grip on the chains they've attached to my life. That and the fact that when I decline tomorrow, even though I'll use a stupid excuse, I'll still think inside: "Yeah sorry, I can't go because my mom said no." Like I'm still some fourteen year old getting permission to go to the mall or something. It just sucks.
