oogie_boogie888 Abinadi lol well you can tell me i wont judge, tease, or tell others It's, kinda, hard...and complicated... it's my "friends", when I posted how they were calling me lesbian and trying to get me to curse?! well, I asked them to stop, they still try to get me to curse...and they mock me...teasing the mormon religion...I would do something about it, but theres not so many mormons at my school...and, yeah. So, sadly, I told my mom, she says I need new friends...I should stop talking to them... but it's not easy....I sit next to them in two classes.. and I don't find friends often...it's a rare ocasion for me...so it's hard to lose something I worked so hard for, I know it's right, and having friends like these is probably worse than having no friends. But I hate being lonely! No one likes the feeling of it.... I can't talke to my YW leaders, the YW or YM.... I dunno, just afraid to get laughed at... when I told them about my friends calling me lesbian all they said was that I must have done something to make them think that... I have no clue what to do! Everyone's bugging me about it.... "you need new friends!" but, it's hard....I dont like comming home crying...like I use to do, every day, in middle school... I'll come home all mad, so, I posted my two favorite scriptures on my wall...so when I come in I read it and cool down.... I know that I shouldn't be angry at god, and that he doesn't give you more than you can handle...but sometimes I ponder that! That's not a good feeling either, caus' I know he doesn't want to see me upset or anything... but why is it all happening to me?! A family of 8 and I'm the one that keeps getting sick! I don't get left alone, get picked on, teased, pushed around....I'm at the point on giving up! I can't even find anyone to trust, not family members, leaders, friends (If I had any), not even my parents! I liked being happy...I just wish I could go back to Penrose with my old friends... I hate seeing them in the corner of my eye, then turning to hug them and almost break out in tears when I realize it wasn't them... I hate being used.... people sometimes surprise me and start being nice to me...but then I realize that it was only for my brains, all they wanted what help cheating...after I give them what they want, they start being mean.... of corse I do nothing, caus' I like being appriciated! All I want is a simple call, someone to say hi, maybe... the YW only seem to be my friend on sundays, and tuesdays... And praying, it's hard for me.... I try and I've tried...it's not easy being an inactive mormon for so long and trying to get back on track, and I'm upset at my parents for doing that... yes i remember this problem well like i have stated before and would state under any conditions I love you, I care about you, and if you wish I will gladly be your friend. but i once heard a song that i love, it said in it that even big boys cry and god is waiting for his sons to come running back to him. well the same can be said for his daughters, he is waiting for you to run back to him, just when you go to school today say a prayer no matter how big how small no matter when or where what ever you ask will be given to you (if you truly need and have faith that it will be given to you). and i know how you feel or at least part way i do because i do not have any good friends that lift me up to the lord yet they do things that drag me away from the lord.

See, there's where that... "paryer" thing comes in, it's like going in for a job, you'r nervous, don't know what to say...the only difference is when you go in for a job, you have to finish what you started.... I tend to not even start the prayer.... this is probably one of the things I could use help on?! I mean...I must have fait that seems....hard. I can't be mad, I have to have a "clean mind"... do you think he'll bless me with a friend?! Someone to talk to?!

Someone to talk to?! well i am not going to tell you what to say but i will give you a suggestion talk to him as if he were me, tell him your problem and talk as if he is sitting right in front of you. and if whilst you are praying and unclean thoughts or images come to your mind simply stop what you were saying and ask him to please help you to clear your mind of those images or thoughts then continue talking. but heavenly father has told us many times to have faith such as a little child, that means that you must trust him such as a babe being thrown in the air it does not curse its father but yet laughs and giggles and has faith that he will not drop it. and tell him (if you mean it) that you would like for his will to be done in your life. and i promise you that i will always be here for you. and that heavenly father will always be there fore you. I love you but i must go i know that if you but ask him to he will help you. and i say these things in the name of our beloved saviour and master jesus christ, amen

Wow. That was deep.
I needed that . . . like . . . a couple years ago . . .
Um . . . I just can't add anything to top that off . . . sweatdrop
With my friends: I told them to please refrain from cussing and talking lewd around me. I told them that if they couldn't do this, then I would stop hanging out with them.
It was very hard for me. For about a week I ate lunch by myself, I refrained from socializing in class, I studied at home, and I didn't go out. It felt more like I was punishing myself than them. Near the end of the week, I was able to socialize in some small measure with a couple of girls who were in my P.E. class, but it wasn't the same.
My friends finally gave in and said that they would try to do better. They asked me to help them do this by pointing it out to tem whenever they cussed, or if something they said was too bad for my taste.
It took a while, but they started to really clean up their language. And through all of this, they gined new respect for my standards.
If your friends do not retract the things they are saying, even after trying something like this, then they have no respect for you. Without respect, friendship has no foundation. It cannot exist both ways. They need to understand that they must respect you for who you are, as you most likely do them.
((I must look up where you live . . . sweatdrop ))

((I get free nights and weekends on my cellphone. If you're at all interested . . . sweatdrop ))
