    You didn’t – okay. Yes, please do give it to him, @anxietyattack66. It’s about time you put a stop to this. No problem; make sure to tell me how he reacts.

    I haven’t eaten in forty one hours.

    It’s not that I have anorexia or anything (not that there’s anything wrong with having anorexia, but I just don’t have it). I just haven’t felt hungry, so I haven’t eaten. I probably won’t eat for another nine or so hours; I can’t not eat in front of my family.

    I should probably be worried, but I’m…[Read more]

    I’m referring to my last update. The long and the short of it is that someone I thought I trusted had actually been lying to me from the day we met. They were saying that my friends (different friends than last time) were bullying them, when in reality, they were the ones doing the bullying.

    Yes, when I talk, an occasional y’all or an ain’t slips out. Does that mean I’m stupid? No. It means I talk like my cousins, who are from Georgia (the state). Does it give them the right to make pick on me for it? No, but they do anyway.

    • That doesn’t mean your stupid. You just got used to saying both words since your cousins keep talking to you that way, which is no way wrong, it just slipped into your speech. I notice it sometimes, but don’t mention it because it’s your way of talking, nothin much to it.
