I've been planning to go to my cattle show in Yorkton for almost a year, and me and Dad had plans made, and now when were s'possed to leave he says that we aren't going. He said that the work wasn't all done. I did all of my work, and did a bunch of the other kid's but if it wasn't done all the way now I can't go to see the new genetics. :mad: :mad: :mad: So I am getting punished for the other two, and Mom wants to leave again. I can't figure it out, because I like to stay outside and read in the trees, and look at the animals. I want everything to be just like it used to be. I wish it were a dream and I would wake up. I can't even figure out what to do anymore. I guess it's just life. Better that it happen to me than someone that would have donesomething bad, like commited suicide.
Thanks for letting me vent guys. It feels a little bit better now that I ahve this off of my shoulders. If I would have told anyone else, I would have been made fun of-bad. Thanks a millionm guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ohyeah, and I got me a new animal friend-lol. I was out in the bushwith the dog and reading and there was a little spike buck looking at me no more than 20 yards away. lol. I had known I'd be out there for a while-everyone was mad at each other so I left with a sandwitch and a pair of fresh Saskatoon berry muffins that I made that morning-and I gave th edeer my sandwitch and one of my muffins. He was a neat little animal. then he saw his g/f and took off- but he looked over his shoulder-looked like he smiled at me. This is what I love to do, and call me a softie if you will, bu tthat is one buck that I will never shoot, or let anyone else. As Earl says, "karma-What goes around comes around.". I guess the Good lord will not give anyone anymore than what they can take.

Thanks again everyone!!!!!!!

Beleive me, I tried. Dad doesn't understand and Mom is busy, I have to keep a stiff upper lip for the younger two, and I don't have any really close friends. I have one good one, bu the lives like 1/2 hour away, and the other person is my cousin, whom we went to see last summer in Ontario, but she is only on msn or her email once a week because she is alos the oldest, her mom died a while ago, and she is very involved in figure skating. And for the couple of friend shtat I have, my email box is sure filled and cluttered up-lol. :wink: :roll:
Thanks again everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a great day!!


P.S.

I have thought about running away or suicide in the past-you guys ar emy family-and that stopped me and all of my doubts. :wipes tears from eyes: Shhhhh.... you diddn't see that. lol.

ACS, when you have those thoughts, you just remember that you are young, with a great future, and it's a big world out there. You have a lifetime ahead of you.

Please remember that NOTHING is your fault. What you are going thru
now will give you strength to face whatever comes. I hate it that you aren't enjoying your youth, every stinkin' bit of it. But not everyone gets the same chance. One thing about it, you do and you will appreciate opportunites that will come to you.

Sometimes parents are so close to their own problems that they can't see the forest for the trees. Not fair to the kids, but that happens at times.

Keep on 'talking to us' because WE CARE. Keep your chin up and remember YOU ARE AN IMPORTANT PERSON.

I wish we could talk to your parents...they don't realize how hard this is on you. My grandson is younger than you but his parents are divorced and it's no fun. I hate it for him, but he is coping and life does go on.

Don't know if I have helped you much, but I sure hope so.

Just hang in there. Kids are never responsible for bad decisions or behavior of their parents. I imagine you will be able to take some unhappy memories, and someday put them to good use as what not to do when you someday become a parent, and maybe even understand some of the problems they may be having. Remember that you have the ability to accomplish great things in life, and that life can be very wonderful and rewarding sometimes...and you have a whole lot to look foreward to. Just keep thinking about the incredible way your life is going to turn out and all of the great things that you can and will accomplish...and nobody can screw that up for you unless you let them.

ACS,

I read a lot of your posts and only reply occasionally. You seem like a good kid and this outlet for some of your frustrations isn't bad, especially considering some of the alternatives. That being said, don't ever underestimate how much those that live with you really care. I read the posts knowing I am only hearing one side of the story. You may be to. And sometimes with emotions elevated in a house, it is hard to see through all of that.

You have found a seemingly safe plce here, but never forget theinternet isn't the safest place.

I guess you are learning some hard lessons early. One is that life isn't always fair. However, your reaction to it is always up to you. And there is always some good to be found, you just got to look for it.


I am not trying to discourage you in any way from posting here. I just want you to do so with eyes wide open. This is coming from someone who had a childhood of disappointments. Don't let it become anger that you don't realize you have,


Good Luck my friend,

PPRM

Most of we older ones here like to look fondly back at our youth, but I think if we really thought hard about it, we'd all realize it wasn't nearly as much fun being a teenager as it is looking back from a distance.

I remember times when I just wanted to walk out the door and never go back too. I never did it, but thinking back on it now, I believe there must have been a kernal of wisdom buried under all that teenage angst. Deep inside I knew that sticking it out was the best thing to do, and that things would change for the better. You also appear to have a lot more wisdom and perspective than you realize. You've got a good head on your shoulders, and you know how to use it. I bet your parents appreciate that, but perhaps they are distracted by whatever turmoil they are going through, and just haven't taken the time to stop and pay attention. Farm life is tough right now, especially here in Canada, and stress takes a toll on everyone. We all deal with it in our own way, and maybe you just need to have a heart to heart with your parents and let them know how you are feeling.

Sometimes we adults get so wrapped up in our day to day worries that we miss the important things, and need to be reminded of just what they are.
