Hi Lex,   I was just going through older posts in the forum and found this. Could you please give us an update on how your friend is going? My best friend was raped a few years ago. It made her feel like she was of no value because her virginity had been stolen. Something that I told her is that although physcially she is no longer a virgin, considering she didn't consent to the sex, she is a virgin in every other aspect. And I told her that she shouldn't let what someone has done to her define the rest of her life. She doesn't have to act like all is lost and that her body is of no value because every girl's body is of enormous value and no girl deserves to be taken advantage of.   I pray that this helps.   With love, Jackie ...

OK IM goanna do what I always do IM gonna break it down into sections   achieving things like losing weight , completing uni and stuff like that is an awesome achievement and you have to give your self some time to give your self a pat on the back even though that feels really weird .   as horrible as it sounds having the ex around all the time can cause pretty big problems and you really have to look deep inside your self and ask your self weather you can just be friends . if not i think you no ultimately what you have to do and how to achieve it   work make a pro and cons list and look into weather your moving towards goals or your just doing it because its a job that came along to you at an convenient time . then if its not for you tart up your resume , get enough courage to get references and then look at what is available   the whole jealousy thing will go away after you sort some of your stuff out ...

I'm with you Lex, totally stoked that you came back to let us know things are looking up for you Andrew. It is so damn good to hear it.   It sounds like that weekend away was a bit of a springboard into the next phase of your life. Embrace it and you won't look back. And as for the Europeans only being around for a couple of months - take one step at a time. Don't worry about that until it become an issue. For now just live it the moment and see where it takes you.   ... View more

Hey Tayla.   What you have said isnt crazy at all! When i was 16 me and my father didnt get along at all... I was drinking on school nights and getting in trouble all the time. i ended up becoming real close with my basketball coach at the time.. he was like a father figure to me.. then he decided he wanted to sexual abuse me and screw with my head. ANYWAY after all this i get that same feeling.. everyone and their dads get along so well and ive just never had that.   First up you gotta accept what you have..... and more so be grateful for what you have. Once you acctually do that you will start moving forward and thats where you want to be. Its a hard thing to do sometimes but work at it, even with a counsellor or someone older then your self to help guide you.   You gotta take a step back for a second.. i belive in this world we have all we need inside our selves. At your age you probably wont see that but you will soon. All i  can say for now is look for someone to be the figure just because they are not your blood doesnt mean they dont care as much a real mother.. Its shitty i know but you gotta keep your head up kiddo our lives are too short to be sad all the time im relising that at 26.   Hope you understand where im coming from here ... View more

All of my friends are in relationships, bar two of us.. and all the couples sit together and shove the single people out! Its really sad as I would really love a boyfriend.. to hang out with and to just be with. to love... BEING SINGLE SUCKS!    People tell me its cool being single.. but I have never had a boyfriend in the first place! Apart from that, the only single guy in my group likes the other single girl and said he would rather kill himself than date me! ... View more

Hey kate.   You are a young girl and that doesnt mean your problem isnt valid. i had a few girl friends that i thought i could spend the rest of my life with around your age. when i look back at them now i relise they were only young loves. doesnt mean u dont love them anyless. at your age all you guys are going through so many changes. this really messes with your emotions.. one thing ill say to you.. is be strong and do what you need to do.. move forward and dont let him conduct how you are feeling   the stress is why u are losing weight. keep talking to people, write on here if you have to just dont give him power over you ...

Hey lonelygirl just checking in to see how your doing with everything. ... View more

My uncle lost both his legs, but he couldn't have prosthetics, so that made things really hard. They get so itchy, don't they? :( The Australian Amputee Association will give you some support and certainly someone to talk to! It's always harder when the disability is aquired, rather than from birth. I'd talk to your Drs and the OTs at the hospital. The social worker's a good person to talk to as well as she can help you communicate with different people about what you need. :)   Not sure what else to say...   Take care  ... View more

You can take her to the doctor and get a health care plan you get session through that. or you can goto a counsellor in your local area... some times you have to find a good one for you   ... View more

hey all. To both the original poster and gotchi.. Short and sweet... Stand up for who you are and what you belive in.. Learning to stand strong is the best way to stop people walking all over you.. its not easy but when people learn not to mess with you they quickly learn not to... most people like that are usually really weak and insecure people. Vent on here talk to a friend but never let them see you be hurt by there crap.. if they see that they will want more.   no ones perfect and we all learn that at some stage.. Fight fight fight be strong and one day you will look down on them and laugh. bit evil i know but i cant stand bullying if u ever need to talk about it everyone on here will listen and help!   ...
