Tomi,
It is ironic that you mention this!!1 I too had my doubts about "teens" in the forums... My thoughts were they are still kids... what do they know.... however, I then thought what I would have given to have someplace as a teen to go and talk about my feelings. my thoughts, the way things are going in my life....
Had I had a place to go and talk about my abuse then, maybe my life would be different now. Maybe I wouldnt have made the mistakes I have made had I had a place to go and talk about what was happening.
Some of the post I find childish sometimes..... but hey we are all kids at heart right? WE all need to be heard. that is what this place is for. I agree with you.. instead of getting angry or upset or even ragging on someone.... we need to support everyone here. Not just some.... EVERYONE!
I can not thank everyone enough for the support they have given me here. More support than I ever imagined. I know that I am not the worlds greatest mom, and i dont try to be... but had someone given me the chance to talk about my life when i was a teen, I think it would have helped.
I am glad that you made this post... You are one GREAT LADY Tomi!!!!!
