I'm getting ready to go to work but I wanted to take the time to add something to this thread.
We have moderators here who do a very good job. Asking them to step in, if you are uncomfotable makes much more sense to me than what happened yesterday.
We've had a discussion lately that concerned not feeling comfortable going to a new forum and offering support. Someone stated that they wouldn't know what to say. Offer support, if you're so inclined, and move on.....and let me assure you that I do not feel like an expert here on offering support. Sometimes I absolutely do not know what to say and it makes me feel sad, but I move on. I do not believe that I should be surfing forums just to post some "wisdom"..that possibly I don't have for that situation.
This got to be much longer than I intended. But waking up at 3:45 a.m. sorta addles my brain....I rambled and probably repeated something that I said last night. I just don't want us to inflict more pain, on a teenager, that hurts more than we can imagine. If someone has no home support, no school support and they come here..let's give them what others haven't, an open heart and an atmosphere where they feel safe.
