When you’re a teen, hormones and emotions are running wild. One minute you hate the boy who sat next to you in English last year, and the next you think the note he sent you was adorable. But how do you know, when those three little words we mutter so effortlessly become real? In my opinion, looking back on it...it was pointless to "Go out" with someone in middle school and even grade school. I mean honestly, how many times did you actually go on a date with your boyfriend when you were 9? Because honestly, I can count like one time I went to go see "Confessions of a Teenage drama queen" with a boy...and his mom sat behind us the entire time.

So you see my point.

So...what do you think is true love?
Are kids starting to date too young?
Are we throwing around the words I LOVE YOU too much?

So to start off the holiday season, I thought the appropriate topic should be teen suicide.
Ok ok, I know that’s not everyone’s favorite question, but still it is important.
My question for you is:
*Do you believe your friend's when they joke around about suicide?*
*What would you do if your friend mentioned something about it?*
*Or just post your opinion about it*

In my opinion, it's so hard to tell now days who is telling the truth or who is just doing it for attention.
Anyways, the reason why I've started this thread is because of something I read recently in a magazine, and maybe some have you have seen on the news. A thirteen year old girl named Megan Meier. She got involved with a cruel MySpace hoax and ended up committing suicide over it.

So basically it 's something I want you to think about :) especially before teasing another kid, because you never know how they might react to it.

And also, GOD BLESS the children who have already died and the ones who are thinking of doing it.

 

 

Popularity


So just how important is popularity nowadays? Is everyone still as obsessed with it as they were when they were younger? Where do you fit on in on the "Social Ladder" of life?
My opinion is that even though it is stupid and petty, most people aren’t as affected as they once were. It seems as if people my age are becoming less worried what the "The Cheerleaders and Jocks" have to say. No offence Cheerleaders and jocks :) What do you think?
