Okk, so, lately I have been getting realy depressed at times. I start thinking of all the bad things and I cry my eyes out. Other times I just get really sad and can't find joy. I look like a happy person normally because I try to atleast look happy, but I'm not on the inside. Is this depression? I don't know what it is. My mom says it's pms but it's more than normal.

hiii so i just recently started liking this guy and looks wise he is very attractive. he gels his hair back and it looks weird. (yeah i am shallow) but he is hilarious and has an amazing personality.... the problem is that we avoid each other because of this one awkward encounter we had. im scared to tell anyone i like him not even my best friend. How do i talk to him? it is beyond awkward between us.
woohoo732 on 11/3/2011 11:40:29 PM
hey. I'm just replying to the comment you left on my profile months ago. (Sorry I don't check it very often) Maybe it was the way it was said, by the way it was said made it sound like she wasn't in enough pain to do something like that. I'm not angry, just think before you post, cuz everyone interprets it differently.

Yayyyy I can finally get on GL!! For some reason, my computer hates it, but I'm at my Nannas house so I could get on. Oh, btw, ever since I saw Ballet Shoes, I've called my grandma Nanna So, I haven't talked to you in forever. What have you been up to?? For me, RPing on Facebook has become like my whole life. Yeah, I know, its not healthy to be a computer addict, but its soooooooooooo much fun. And now I have a LOT of accounts. Lily, Hermione, Ron, Rose, Scorpius, Luna, Gabriella, Emmaline, and I think there were a few more that I don't remember. On my Lily and Gabriella accounts, I have boyfriends, and on my Scorpius and Ron accounts, I have girlfriends xD Its hilarious cause they don't know I'm a girl in real life. Oh and I have news thats gonna make you want to throw a chair at me. Okay...... *deep breath* I like Zac Efron more than Rupert Grint. :O
HarryPotterFanClub on 6/14/2011 1:35:37 PM
Hey! You said you were needing some weekly workouts? I have 'em if you still need them! Monday- Feel tired? Do simple yoga. Go on YouTube and search "Yoga Exercises" they have some great workouts. Tuesday- Go for a run. Jog around your block a couple of times or visit your gym to run on the treadmill. Wednesday- Do some simple crunches for five minutes at a time. You can track your time on a stopwatch and do breaks in between. Thursday- Do more yoga! Doing yoga at least twice a week helps get rid of the excess stress. Friday- Go for a bikeride or a walk around the park with a friend! Having a sleepover with a friend? Offer to go to the closest nature park and walk around the trails or bike ride around it. Can't go to the park? Walk or ride around your neighborhood! Hope it helped! xoxo, Hailey
PinkZebra97 on 6/13/2011 11:29:03 PM

puppyaddict13 on 6/12/2011 10:28:50 PM
HEy girlll,sorry for the late reply but I need some answers before I can conclude it all for you. Which one claims to get a miscarriage,your friend or that girl that nobody likes? What's "That girl that nobody likes" reputation? How in the world would a 14 year old get drunk?She's too young to go clubbing Is your best friend the type that would hide about the miscarriage or tell you? I,for example,would be too embarrassed to let it out straight away. How protective are your BFF's parents?
Shadow.Fall691 on 6/4/2011 5:54:17 AM
Aww. Thaaaannk yeeewwww. I totally needed that!! <3 I'm super excited right now, because I might be homeschooled next year!! Its because both of my parents need to work, and they were talking about how they needed someone to take care of the baby while they were at work, and so I volunteered to be homeschooled and be the babys nanny until she's old enough to go to school. Isn't that awesome?! I'm totally flipping out with excitement!!!!! Are you out of school yet?? I am and sorry I haven't been here in a while. My computer has a grudge against girlslife. >
HarryPotterFanClub on 5/31/2011 10:11:49 AM
But where is to go when you have TOLD people, told techers, family, counslers, and NO one helps you? i have been through this when i was NINE and i wanted to commit suicide. you know how hard it was? fighting doesnt help, and it does not let the lay off. im a texan too, so stop being sterotypical.
charliethedancer on 5/28/2011 11:23:52 PM
Your advice sorta helped...it was always what I thought it was just nice to hear it (or read it) from another person. I didn't ditch my 2 buddies but your advice built confidence in me and turns out...when you ARE confident,you always feel fulfilled and not third-wheelish.I also got closer to that trio.
Shadow.Fall691 on 5/26/2011 1:10:50 PM
Thanks a ton for your advice I hope I'd be able to help you with something in return.
Shadow.Fall691 on 5/23/2011 5:39:29 AM
Lol that sounds amazing!! I bet I'm going to have to put up with a lot of Dora for the next couple years cause of the baby. Only 2 more months!! I'm soooo excited!! So did you break up with him yet?? Anyway I have a question for you. If it makes you uncomfortable, you don't have to answer it if you don't want. Well I've been feeling really fat lately and I wanted to talk to know if a lot of people felt like that, or if it was just me. I was going to ask my friends, but some of them are like super freaky skinny, so I thought it would be weird, and some of them are pretty big, and I thought that might insult them. So I thought I'd ask you instead. How do you feel about your weight??
HarryPotterFanClub on 5/22/2011 9:21:40 PM
Thanks for the hug.It's sort of complicated.Well,I was always had trouble saying "No" and speaking out for myself and my "Best Friends" have been treating me like a third wheel.Um..you know how in The Goblet Of Fire,Hermione's like "Ron!You ruined everything!" That's how I felt but my smile hid it away.It now got even worse,my "Best Friends" have been leaving me out of stuff and even when I try to talk it's like my opinion doesn't matter anymore.The only time where I feel they appreciate me is when I get them lunch (everyday). There is this other trio that hangs out with us and whenever they ask me to get them lunch they say things "You guys!Just move your butts!" and my friends would say I'm "Polite." It's offensive because it's the only time I feel like I'm appreciated.A week ago I stayed over at my cousin and I really realized what they were doing to me :'( Anyway,enough about me-I hope you've been doing really really really well and well and well and may the forth be with you
Shadow.Fall691 on 5/21/2011 7:45:37 AM
How have you been?I hope you've been feeling well 'cause I need a hug
Shadow.Fall691 on 5/20/2011 1:01:16 PM

puppyaddict13 on 5/16/2011 11:36:12 PM
OMG. I think he likes you a little TOO much and he obviously has no boundaries or respect for girls!! Sheesh. And your stuffed penguin reminded me of when we were at church watching a video of a little boy in a winter coat, snowpants, and a hat that covered his eyes, and my friend whispered "He looks like a penguin" to me, and I busted out laughing and everyone was staring at me!! It was humiliating but funny at the same time. And then later she felt bad that she made me get embarrassed, so she bought me nachos Aaaarrrrgh we have exams next week and this morning I was FREEZING when I woke up. I wanted to stay under the covers all day.

puppyaddict13 on 5/13/2011 11:51:44 PM
Ugh, that sounds like what happened to me. I was with this one guy who was cute and nice, but he was so quiet that it was hardly even legal to call us "together." we didn't really talk to each other at all except on Facebook. I wanted to break up with him soooooo bad but I didn't have the nerve to!! So I went like 3 months wishing I was single... and then I finally broke up with him on new years eve. If you think thats mean, well, my bffs boyfriend broke up with her on Valentines day!! :O
HarryPotterFanClub on 5/12/2011 4:37:45 PM
hey sorry i didnt reply sooner i didnt log on in a while... how is everything? your story is really great! i wanna tell you something i learned this past month: DONT LISTEN TO ANYONE YOU DONT WANNA LISTEN TO. be proud of who you are, and dont even think about considering changing yourself because one person doesnt like you. its one person! not everyone is gonna like you, but that makes us human, so its okay. i hope you can stay who you are right now, and dont change unless YOU say its okay stay strong, *rissaroo*
puppyaddict13 on 5/12/2011 11:39:23 AM
Sure! Cool!
topchef88 on 5/11/2011 10:02:49 PM
here's chapter 2!! original... Chapter 2: Lanny There stood a nearly toothless old man with tan wrinkled skin and hair that she suspected hadn’t been washed in months. He was standing right in front of her, smiling broadly. He was living in a junk yard and was the happiest person on Earth because of it. He was wearing an old grey t-shirt with what looked like oil stains across it. Also, he had ripped jeans with the exact same stains. He had no shoes, but obviously he didn’t care. He was just staring at her, like he was waiting for something. Then Mischia realized, the man had just asked her a question and she was just looking blankly at him. “Uhhhh, I was just, um, looking around…” He looked at her confused, as if he could tell that was a complete lie. But the expression faded as soon as it came and a smile was wiped back across his face. “Well now, as long as yew here yew might as well tell me yew name!” Without thought she blurted out, “My name’s Mishcia. Mischia Aloe to be exact.” What was she thinking!? She just told a complete stranger her name. If he found out anymore she’d be in so much trouble. But then again, he didn’t look the type who would try anything. It seemed as if the only thing he was interested in was her name, but she wasn’t ready to trust him just yet. “That sure is a purdy name now ain’t it, Miss Chia?” “Um actually Sir it’s Mischia not Miss Chia, Mr…….Mr…” “Call me Lanny! I don’t even think I have a last name now that I done thought about it.” How long had he been here? He didn’t even remember his last name! She wanted to ask but knew better. If she asked him, he might tell her a huge story, and frankly she wanted to leave. She didn’t know where, but at that moment anywhere sounded better than there. “If you’ll excuse me, Lanny, I must be on my way.” She turned around and started to make her exit but Lanny caught her by the arm. “Now missy we both know that’s a flat out lie. Besides yew just got hare! Why don’t yew have a look around?” *** Apparently, Lanny was a very persuasive guy. Mischia found herself giving in and following him to his little kitchen area. They sat and ate his special soup that was made up of chicken, steak sauce, and water. Surprisingly, it was really good. Who would have thought a person like him could be such a good cook? She didn’t think to ask where he found the chicken to make it, but then again she probably didn’t want to know. She kept looking at Lanny’s appearance. Her parents were always neat freaks and always things in tip-top shape. Seeing someone dress so poorly was very strange for her. It had only been for the past year that she had been wearing her current attire; skinny jeans and a t-shirt. He just looked so different than people she was used to seeing. But there was one question that she had been dying to ask, “So Lanny,” She said between bites of food, “If you don’t mind my asking, what are those stains on your shirt?” He looked down as if just noticing they were there and said, “Oh those! They are from my new expeerement I’s been workin’ on!” “And what would that be?” She asked. By now she wasn’t really worried about Lanny. He seemed a very nice person and couldn’t be up to anything to wrong. It seemed like Mischia needed to trust strangers more often. He got up and gestured for her to follow him without a word. She trailed along behind him out of his little house and out into open junkyard space. She could smell the scent of oil getting stronger. They must’ve walked half an hour before they finally arrived. Passing old boxes, chewed slippers, everything you’d expect to see in a small town junkyard. But when he stopped, Mischia couldn’t see what was so special about it. All there was ,was a great big wooden shed. It wasn’t even properly built! It looked like it would cave in with a thing as slight as wind hitting it. Lanny could do much better handy work than that considering he made that small home for himself. But as always, she didn’t question it. Life was just so much simpler that way for her. Lanny was now smiling broadly at her again, expecting her to be in love with his creation. “Um it’s nice...” His smile just got bigger. There was no limit as to how wide it could get, “Yew hasn’t even seen the good part!” He disappeared into the shed. By now Mischia was completely puzzled. He had made no motion for her to follow him so she didn’t know what to do! Was she supposed to wait while he brought her something, or go on in? Was she just supposed to leave? He didn’t sound like he wanted her gone. Only her parents want that… Tears began to form in her eyes as she thought about the truth that was her life. There was no time to cry though; Lanny came out with even more oil on his hands and clothes. “What are yew blubbering about? Get in here! I wanna show yew somethin’!”, and with that he disappeared back into the shed. She gathered herself up and managed to slip inside. It was a truly magnificent sight. Inside, was a stunning 1930’s airplane made up of different parts she was guessing he found in the junkyard. It was mostly yellow with lopsided tires and it was only two seats, but you couldn’t expect to find a modern aircraft in this town. There was no steering wheel yet, but you could tell that he was working on one. And higher than everything else there was a single light bulb illuminating it all. Mischia stood there, gaping at its beauty. She was too stunned to speak, so it was Lanny who broke the silence, “It needs some work, but she’ll be a real beauty once she’s done! Don’t quite know what I’m gonna do with it though.” “I-it’s amazing! How do you- Why did you- just…..Wow!” “I’ve been workin’ on it fo a couple years. It takes forever cause of only one person.” A light bulb went off in her head. For a while she was thinking that she couldn’t stay at the junkyard during the day because someone was already there. But now it was obvious Lanny liked her company. And he did need someone to help him with the plane, maybe he would let her stay here and work with him! She would finally have a place to escape to her life, and actually enjoy herself! So she wasted no time asking, “Hey do you think I could come back the next couple days and maybe work with you on this? You know, like, if you want….” His face brightened up immediately and Mischia knew the answer to her question right away. Not only did she have a place to go during the day, but also for the first time in many, many long years, she actually had a friend. *** That night she went home with a smile on her face. Despite her parents constant fighting and the thought of waking up to them tomorrow, she was genuinely happy. And if her predictions were correct, she would stay that way for a very long time re-vamped!! Chapter 2: Lanny There stood a nearly toothless old man with tan wrinkled skin and hair that Mischia suspected hadn’t been washed in months. He was standing right in front of her, smiling broadly while she just stood there with her mouth agape in shock. He was wearing an old grey t-shirt with what looked like oil stains across it. Also, he had ripped jeans with the exact same stains. He had no shoes, but obviously he didn’t care. With nothing to shave with, the man’s beard had grown about a foot long full of dark brown hair and chocolate eyes to match. And he was definitely NOT one of the most attractive men Mischia had met. She wondered whether he was even sane enough to realize that he was living in a junkyard. But whatever state he was in, he didn’t seem dangerous to her. Yet he was just staring at her, like he was waiting for something. It was kind of creeping her out. Then she realized, the man had just asked her a question and she was just staring blankly back at him. “Oh! Uhhhh, I was just, um, looking around…” He looked at her confused, as if he could tell that that was a complete lie. But the expression faded as soon as it came and a stupid smile was wiped back across his face. “Well now, as long as yewer here yew might as well tell me yewer name!” Without thought she blurted out an assortment of rambles that told him her name, “My name’s Mischia. Mischia Aloe to be exact.” She took a step back at realizing what she had just done. A complete stranger now knew who first and last name and it was all her fault! Mischia knew the dangers of the world and usually, being the loner that she was, she could dodge just about any situation if she remembered to look out for signs of trouble. But this time she was just so shocked to see anyone here in the first place, she got caught off guard. But then again as she had thought before, he didn’t look the type who would try anything. It seemed as if the only thing he was interested in was her name, but she made it a key factor NOT to tell him anymore information about herself until she knew she could trust this man. “That sure is a purdy name now ain’t it, Miss Chia?” “Um actually Sir it’s Mischia not Miss Chia, Mr.…….Mr.…” she continued to stutter the word mister until he finally got the jest and piped up, “Call me Lanny! I don’t even think I have a last name now that I done thought about it.” How long had he been here?... It couldn’t have been a short amount of time because the man didn’t even remember his own last name! She wanted to ask but knew better. If she asked him, he might tell her a huge story or she might end up giving him even more information about herself, and frankly she wanted to leave….. If she could that is. A memory of herself struggling to move away from the junkyard entrance entered her mind. Still, she didn’t like this place anymore than she liked hanging around her own home, and she at least needed to try and get back out. Mischia didn’t know where she would go, but at that moment anywhere sounded better than there. “If you’ll excuse me, Lanny, I must be on my way.” She turned around and started to make her exit but Lanny caught her by the arm. She turned around slowly not knowing what to expect from this complete, well almost complete stranger that she’d only spent five minutes, if even that, with! But when she looked at his dirty face she saw kindness in his eyes, something she had never seen before, and this stopped her from struggling further while she stood, frozen to her spot. He spoke to her softly, hoping he wouldn’t startle her. And in his very thick country accent said, “Now missy we both know that’s a flat out lie. Besides yew just got hare! Why don’t yew have a look around?” *** Apparently, Lanny was a very persuasive guy. Mischia found herself giving in and following him to his little kitchen area. She had waited patiently while Lanny bustled around cutting up unknown contents and placing them inside two different chipped bowls. When he sat down across from her looking full of expectations though, she only pretended to sip from the bowl. After she saw a couple rats scurrying around so she wasn’t going to take any chances. She couldn’t help but keep looking at Lanny’s appearance. Her parents were always neat freaks and always had things in tip-top shape. Seeing someone dress so poorly was very strange for her; even if she tried her best to always be out of the house. It had only been for the past year that she had been wearing her current attire; skinny jeans and a t-shirt. Her parents used to have her dresses much too frilly for her to enjoy. If it weren’t them fighting actually, she might still be wearing them. Lanny just looked so different than people she was used to seeing. But there was one question that she had been dying to ask, “So Lanny,” She said between pretend sips of soup, “If you don’t mind my asking, what are those stains on your shirt?” He looked down as if just noticing they were there and said, “Oh those! Those is from my new expeerement I’s been workin’ on!” “And what would that be?” She asked. By now she wasn’t really worried about Lanny. Talking to him was actually much easier than she thought it would be. He seemed a very nice person and couldn’t be up to anything to wrong. Maybe she needed to trust strangers more often. He got up and gestured for her to follow him without a word. She trailed along behind him out of his little house and out into open junkyard space. There was no familiar soft, green grass to step on. Only dry dirt. It didn’t surprise her though. (“How could anything grow in this filth?”) She could smell the scent of oil getting stronger. Mischia thought she had smelt something along the lines of that when she first entered the place, but just brushed it off as her imagination. Now she was very curious. They must’ve walked half an hour in what she thought was in circles, but before too long, they finally arrived. They had passed old boxes, chewed slippers, everything you’d expect to see in a small town junkyard. But when Lanny stopped, Mischia couldn’t see what was so special about it; especially after she had just walked a lot in the heat of the summer. All there was, was a great big wooden shed. It wasn’t even properly built! It looked like it would cave in with a thing as slight as the wind blowing up against it. Lanny could do much better handy work than that considering he made that small home for himself. But as always, she didn’t question it. Life was just so much simpler that way for her. Lanny was now smiling so broadly at her again, that she almost assumed he was expecting her to be in love with his creation. “Um it’s nice...” His smile just got bigger. (“Sooner or later it might fall off his face” she thought), “Yew hasn’t even seen the good part!” He then, without giving any sort of warning, disappeared into the shed. By now Mischia was completely puzzled. He had made no motion for her to follow him so she didn’t know what to do! Was she supposed to wait while he brought her something, or go on in? Was she just supposed to go on and leave? Then the image of being stuck to the ground crept back into her mind. She couldn’t leave, and he didn’t sound like he wanted her gone. Only her parents wanted that… Tears began to form in her eyes as she thought about the truth that was her life. There was no time to cry though; Lanny suddenly emerged from the dark shed with even more oil on his hands and clothes. “What are yew standing out here blubbering about? Get in here! I wanna show yew somethin’!”, and with that he disappeared back into the shed. She gathered her emotions together up and managed to slip inside. It was a truly magnificent sight. Inside, was a stunning 1930’s airplane made up of different parts she guessed he found in different random places around the junkyard. It was mostly yellow with lopsided tires and it had only two seats, but you couldn’t expect to find a modern aircraft in her town. There was no steering wheel yet, but you could tell that he was working on one. And above everything else there was a single light bulb illuminating it all. Mischia stood there, gaping at its beauty. She was too stunned to speak, so it was Lanny who broke the silence, “It needs some work, but she’ll be a real beauty once she’s done! Don’t quite know what I’m gonna do with it when I am finished though.” “I-it’s amazing! How do you- Why did you- just…..Wow!” “I’ve been workin’ on it on and off fo a couple years now. It takes forever cuz of only one person. That would be of course.” Quite quickly an idea filled her head. For a while she was thinking that she couldn’t stay at the junkyard during the day because someone was already there. But now that it was obvious Lanny liked her company, and he DID need someone to help him with the plane, maybe he would let her stay here and work with him! She would finally have a place to escape from her life, and actually enjoy herself! So she wasted no time asking, “Hey do you think I could come back the next couple days and maybe work with you on this? You know, like, if you want….” His face brightened up immediately and Mischia knew the answer to her question right away. Not only did she have a place to go during the day, but also for the first time in many, many long years, she actually had a friend. *** That night she went home with a smile spread wide across her face. (Nothing compared to Lanny’s however.) Despite her parents constant fighting and the thought of waking up to them the next day, she was genuinely happy. She laid comfortably on her bed and before dozing off into a good night’s sleep, thought, (“What exactly just happened?”) Thanks guys for all the support :3
