Aw that sucks Kathy! I don't really understand why your coworkers would be rich and you work at the same job and you're not doing ok...

I feel so angry that some parents neglect this. My parents are adamant about getting ortho and dental for their kids. I had some pretty massive stuff done too, I only had four molars for a very long time. Then braces, then speech therapy... I'm so thankful to my parents for this, my teeth and smile are my best asset now. Not to make you feel bad, but I've been through it, you can do it! You have your hubby and the CM, and NOTHING is ever as bad as it sounds.

Anger... yes, that's the right word. I'm glad to hear that you are happy with all the dental work you had done! I've seen your pics... you have a beautiful smile! It makes so much sense to get it done when you're young and not have to deal with problems later in life. Especially in my sitation where it has been gradually getting worse over the years and has caused extreme joint problems. Some of the problems I'm experiencing will never be reversed. I applaud parents that make dental and orthodontics a priority.

As for why my colleagues have money and I don't... most of them came from wealthy families to begin with. They were the kids that got cars for their birthdays, university paid for, trips to Europe every year of their lives, etc. I'm the youngest in my department and I'm the only one who came from a poorer background and therefore had to take out loans for school (hubby too). We pay $2K/month just in debt payments, which on top of rent/food/other bills makes it hard to have money left over for other things.

When I'm comparing to colleagues I'm talking about the 15 people I work with on a daily basis. This is part of a company that has 10K employees in Canada and 300K in the world. Obviously across the company there's a wide variation, but because of the type of work in my department it draws a certain group of people.

That's what the CM and the hub are for. :nod:
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

I don't even think I can tell you guys. Because then when I say it, it will be definate, and real and all that much scarier.

But whatever it is, it is real and definite, and you're going to have to deal with it, whenever you face it. Usually, the sooner the better. <3

Ok. I have an actual problem. See, I had this boyfriend right, Max, for years. We broke up right before my Grade 11 year, we'd been together for about 2 and a half years at the time. Now, over Christmas vacation, we soortof got back together, only we didn't really because I didn't want the long distance thing.

Now we've both been pretty clear we still love each other, its just circumstance, so for now, we write/whatever. Anyways, i made a joke about getting engaged. But it really was only a joke. Anyways.... he took it the wrong way...I guess, and said when he came home we'd make it official, and could I please tell my parents because his were arranging an engagement party. And also when he came home(which is this friday), we'd go and pick a ring.

Holy Shit. See, before I thought it was funny.. but its.. serious.
I am 17 years old!

Like not even 18 for three weeks!

:|

I know i'm going to have to just honestly tell him I can't do this.
But HOW.

..wow.
luckily, there's no ring purchased yet, so that makes it a bit easier...
i'd just sit him down and explain that you were joking, and he took it seriously. tell him you do want to be with him, and one day you do want to be at that point (i'm just assuming here that you actually want to be with him)..but right now, you think you're too young, and not ready to do this.

important thing here - make sure you let him know you still want to be with him (that is, if you do)...let him know you want things to be solid and working well when this does actually happen...
maybe you can do the 'promise ring' thing instead?

that's the best i can do...just be honest, and make sure you talk to him BEFORE anymore plans are made, or before a ring is bought.

And try to tell him this before he goes to his parents/your parents about it, and before he spreads word around to other people. That way it will be less embarassing for him (and for you).

guuuuuuys i have a problem

i have a drinking sort of problem. i drink a lot more than i should and bad things happen.

last night i made out with my best friend. it was odd and awkward and i dont know why we did it. except that we were really drunk. and i think she likes me but doesnt want to tell me or something. maybe she doesnt even know. but i dont actually like her like that because thats just weird she's my best friend and i want to keep it that way.

and a month ago i went to a party and i met this guy named kohl and he seemed really nice but he wasn't. he chose the seat next to me on the couch after most people had passed out and he made me do things i didnt want to with him.
now i dont know what to do. like i know i need to tell people but i dont know who to tell and its awkward and i honestly never want anyone to know because i feel like im not a very smart girl. and he seemed nice i swear. and i was nice to him and he wasnt very nice back and thats not very fair.

i need to quit drinking. i need to start making better choices too. i dont know. it's so hard to know what's right. i need to get up now and go to bed but im so lazy and my best friends bed (im at her house now) is so far away and shes on the phone with her girlfriend who doesnt like me because i drink too much and probably shes just jealous i spend more time with my best friend than she does because im a cool kid

this thread is a really nice idea. mad props to bethany for thinking it up. <3

i need help. what to doooooo? :(
