I do sometimes get to talk about what I want to, but when I do, they don't seem to care all that much. My friends seem to be a bit self centered, that's how it has always been. At times, it is good because when I am depressed I never have much to say any way. But at other times, I hate it cause I want to talk a bunch but they really won't listen all that much. This week however, they seem to be doing a bit better, which really helped me through the week considering I was extra talkative. And you are completely correct about the whole grades thing. You give such good advice! Do you happen to have Yahoo messenger, or any way I could communicate with you. You seem like you would be a very kind and trustworthy person I could tell my problems to. I really don't trust my friends and family with that kind of stuff, when I do, they make a big deal out of it.
