    This was asked of me in another topic. Since it is off topic :yot: for that post, I figured I'd address it here.
    Teekc said in there:
    Quoting me:
    Teekc then said:
    She is a senior animal trainer in education at the San Diego Wild Animal Park. Her father was an artist in California named Adam Shields. He originally did technical drawings for NASA. He passed away from cancer before we met. Her grandfather was the actor Arthur Shields. Her great uncle was the character actor Barry Fitzgerald, Arthur's brother. He won an academy award for Best Supporting Actor in the movie "Going My Way" with Bing Crosby. Little bit of trivia, Barry is the only actor ever to be nominated for both Best Supporting Actor and Best Actor for the same role in the same movie, "Going My Way"
    The award has actually been auctioned off somewhere. So her brother's and I are trying to find it to bring it back to the family.

    [​IMG] Hey, 8people, don't give up on the good things in life. It sure must suck, from all the things that you say are happening. But that doesn't mean that everything is bad, and that things will not get better.

    I have had bad times and worse and better than worse. I have taken breaks from not giving up, though never actually giving up, was something that I kept in mind.

    Until recently, about three weeks ago I worked with Foster Youth, being a Former Foster Kid myself. They could relate with me alot easier than other Staff, I had a different title.

    They did relate with me and trusted me, and were able to let go of some secrets that they held. Alot of stuff that should never be allowed to happen, after a year stuff that I couldn't handle anymore. I left. I didn't give up, I realized that if I could not be who they needed I should not be there anymore playing into the self pity.

    From them I learned that bad things happen, and it isn't always your fault. Alot of the time it is because the person doesn't like theirselves, so they take it out on someone else, or they were raised a certain way and have not been taught to know better.

    With the freinds, sometimes there is a point in life, when you realize you have out grown who you normally would keep company with, or don't realize it and think you are doing something wrong. Try to work things out with your friends, if that doesn't work out maybe you should find different ones, you don't need to shut everyone out completly, but new people can bring a different outlook on life.

    People get depressed, not evreyone, but some do. I had depression, for awhile, I think most teens have an era of growing up, where that is all you are, even if you try to show a different face.

    Lastly, support structuers are a necessitiy, for anyone anywhere. This is coming from someone who loves to be in a place away from people, to let the mind be free, at least for awhile. Then the social aspect of humanity starts to squirm inside of me. If not your imediate family, look towards friends that you can count on, if no one there then a place were differences are shared and if not acceptted then at least tolerated. SP comes to mind.

    You are not stupid, and it does take courage to let people know how you feel, and you are never going to be entirely alone, no matter what anyone says. :D

    8People, I truly hope it will get better for you... I remember life being hell when I was younger, and I just hope it gets better soon for you, without your cracking up or anything... I know you have enough spirit to get thorough it, and we here in SP will stand by your side :)

    Am I insane because I am planning on taking a tatto because I just wannt to, becaus eit just suddenly popped into my head because a friend took one, too?

    Oh well, back to the drawing board

    Thoughts for the day:

    • It is a curious fact that people with poor vision often experience hyperactivity, frustration, lack of motivation, and depression....I wear prescription glasses.
    • Never say never. Oops, I just said 'never.' Dangit, I said 'never' again! DOH!!! :bang:
    • French people eat many fattening things and drink red wine every evening. Their average lifespan is 80 or so. Germans eat an enormous amount of fattening foods and drink 3 shots of whiskey every night. Their average lifespan is 90-ish. Americans eat even more fatty foods and drink beer, vodka, and other alcoholic drinks every night. Their average lifespan is about 45, or around there. Apparently, it's speaking fluent American that kills you.
    p.s. I don't mean to offend anyone with that last one.

    Lose them as in He gets them for the next month. We have temporary joint custody, which really sucks. As long as it doesn't go permanent, which it probably will.

    Heh, finally got some free time from my service... :) Now I can, at least, set up mines and shoot with a rifle (RK 6,72) when I want to. Luckily the physical training hasnĀ“t started yet...

    Being in college makes me wish I joined the marines instead. Of course this would probably be reversed if I were actually in the corp. :)
