Everyone, I feel its time to leave here. I have no reason to be on this board or any others for that matter. My quest for answers from other people has come to an end, so its time to find them through myself. I was just ahead of myself coming here and asking questions which I knew that I would never find answers to. Im 14, alone, and compleatly unknown and uncared about to other people. Im done with it. Ill just continue to remain in my shell both here and in the rest of the world. Ill continue to check this message board but I will not have any participation in it. You cant change my mind, so let it pass. So, goodbye!

...then you must go. Or if you want to go, then you'll go. But I think people do care, and if you want someone to listen... But since your email address doesn't seem to be working (or then hotmail is just being a pain in the ass), you'll have to email me, if you want to talk.

Hoping to hear from ya,
Setras

I know you've gotten at least a couple emails lately. Uncaring people would not write you. We'll be here, and there, if and when we can help.

That for these kind of things the only person that can provide the answers is yourself. Nonetheless, you're welcome here as our friends at any time, this isn't only a place of self discovery, it is a place of friendship, safety and hopefully fun and learning.

I'm not trying to change your mind, but just because we can't give you answers, it doesn't mean there is nothing we can offer one another. You do what's good for you though, staying in your shell can keep you safe, but one day you'll have to come out of it, just hopefully you'll be ready for it when that time comes.

You feel alone in your real life, you feel uncared about, maybe you feel that way here, too. I know what it is like, regardless of what you feel though, people DO care about you, both here and I'm sure in your real life. We as humans give our thoughts and feelings too much credit. Just because you think and feel no-one cares about you, that doesn't mean it's true...

As for family, well they can sometimes be real bastards, they make you wish you were dead, but the funny thing is, if you did die, they would be upset, regardless of how little they show it.

I hope you'll still keep in contact with those of us that care about you and worry about you. I know your situation isn't easy, but it will change, eventually, in the mean time you've just gotta deal with it in any way you can. If closing yourself off to the world and to us helps you deal with it, well, I guess it's the best for you, just try to keep in touch and let us know how you're doing from time to time. You've got a long life ahead of you and if what we've talked about is any indication, it'll also be a very successful life, so keep at it. Anyway, enough of this essay, I always go on too much.

Hugs and tickles, Echi, and may you have fun in the land of the digging deutschers.

finding answers through yourself is not the easiest way. No one on this MB would ever TELL anyone what to do, that's not our place but reading how others handle their problems, what great fathers some of these men are, how proud each and every one of these people are of themselves and their families, to feel the comfort and care of other men and boys who hurt and long for things just out of reach.......Everyone here had to post for the very first time, tell about themselves and open wounds that had been buried, share what they thought was pain that only they knew. The good thing? The heart-mending thing? That pain can be absorbed, mended by simply not trying to fight it anymore.......by letting people help.

Life on a MB is different from real life. In real life, none of the grownups would talk to me like they do here. I would just be a somewhat obnoxious kid on a skateboard without a care in the world. But here, somehow, walls between generations fall and people care because what I want to be is strong and proud and brave like them and they want to assure me that they have felt just like me so many times. It gives me courage...strength that I didn't have when I first came.

You're 14. Yes. You're alone. I know you feel like it. But unknown and uncared about.....not true unless you want to be.
Your questions may not be as difficult to answer as you think but how do you find answers all alone?

Good luck {hug}
