Hey guys. I

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Hey guys. I

Hey guys. I need virtual hugs, advice and support. Here's my scenario:

I am in big trouble because I have countless younger siblings and they get on my nerves like crazy. I am homeschooled and just started high school today. I did well, for the first day, but didn't finish that and all my chores till 6. Anyway, I am in trouble because I get so annoyed at my siblings, that I talk meanly and impatiently with them. I just got a big talking to from my parents and now I feel like crawling in a hole and hiding. I felt so embarrassed, because I knew it was true but I couldn't be as humble as I should've been. I just want to dissipate. I know this seems dramatic. But I really feel quite terrible. And, in addition to all that, I have basically lost all my friends. They moved and PROMISED they would stay in contact. I wrote letters, emails, texts. And nothing. I've given up on them. You are my only friends now. I know you will come through for me. Mei, I would love bunnies right now. I am going to go crawl under the sheets and die. Good night everyone.  Just your normal, average teen problems here, signing out.

Oh Undiscovered! I'm so sorry. Losing friends is awful. *Hugs* So are crazy out of control emotions. (I get mad at people for things I shouldn't all the time, and then look back wonder what I was thinking) You have friends on the CB. We're here for you. *Hugs again*

I know the feeling! I have four younger siblings who drive me... Crazy. I often snap at them, then get in trouble for it. It's okay to feel bad about it. One thing I do when they drive me crazy is turn on music and put in my earphones. It calms my nerves. So I recommend finding something that helps you calm down.

As for losing friends, I've had that happen. Often because I - or they - have moved, and we lose contact. That was back in elementary when I didn't call or write people letters. If they don't care to write back to you, then they don't deserve to be your friend. Real friends will always be there for you, no matter what age, or how far away they are. I'm not really good with anything friend related, for I tend to have a hard time keeping my own. But I can say go to homeschooling events or groups (if you are allowed to). This will open up a huge window to meet new kids on a weekly basis. If you are allowed to walk places, go to the library, city events, or even just walk around. You will surely meet new people. You just have to be willing to take the jump of becoming friends. That... I am not very good at. But maybe you are. All I can say is we are here for you, always.

Wow, that helped a ton, Ashlee. Thank you so much! Usually, i don't get too close with friends, because i have been ignored many times, but i made a BFF, and we were so close. She moved to Texas, and eventually got "too busy" with her other friends. It hurt, because i was so sure she'd be different. Anyway, thanks. I can get through this with all my great CB friends. *gives a watery smile*

I don't have any siblings, but I highly doubt you'd be the only person that hasn't gotten mad at younger siblings. It happens, it's okay-- just apologize to them.

As for the friends, mine don't contact me either. One of them checks her emails like every 6 months, another claims to have bad internet, and another I guess just doesn't want to talk...

I am no Mei, but I shall give you a bunny. *gives a fluffy, white bunny*

Don't worry, everyone snaps at their siblings. Just apologize to them, tell them you love them, take a deep breath, and move on. They'll forgive you, maybe not immediatly, but they will. They love you. They are your siblings, after all. As for your friends, it could be that they are still working out life again after moving. It takes longer than one might think. As I have said many, many times, moving is stressfull. It takes a while to pull your head (and your house) back together. And here's that hug you need. *hugs*

Oh, dear. I know how you feel.

At least on the sibilings part. I have two younger sisters and a younger brother, and one of my sisters is going through a stage where she throws a fit all. day. long.

Pretty close to that anyways. So I'm supposed to help her out with certain things, like getting her bath water ready. So the water is all nice, and she hops in, so I go out, turning the fan on and closing the door behind me ...

*SCREAMWAIL FILLS HOUSE* 

I go back in, "What's wrong?"

"I DON'T WANT THE FAN ON, AND I WANT THE DOOR OPEEEENNN!"

*sighs* Does as she asks, and goes back to the CB. *SCREAM*

I go back. "The water is to cold!" And at this, I lose my temper, thrust my hand into the water, splashing my sister and discovering it is perfectly fine. "You splashed water all over me!!" I stomp out and sit down at the computer to finish writing the Ilfay RP. 

Oh, nope, I can't do screen for the rest of the day. Whoopee.

*hugs* I'm so sad and lonely, baby take a chance with me. Baby take a chance with me.

I understand, Undiscovered. And I know I'm going to have the same friend problems here soon ... until then, *hugs galore for you*

I AM ELMODAISY. 

*gasp* I did it.

*Pats you on the back* Congratulations for being open about it. It can be hard to do so, not something most of us can easily do. So bravo, Daisy!
