Wah, we're all here for ya buddy. I know your going through some shit right now and I wanted to share some stuff with you. I was in your shoes as a teenager. I had a girlfriend that I had been going out with for my entire Senior year and decided to join the Navy. We were the same age, but she was a year behind me. I graduated at 17. I thought we were totally in love. She said she would wait for me to come back from boot camp and then I would take her with me when she graduated. Boot camp was only two months long and when I came back, she had already found a new boyfriend and told me that it wasn't going to work. I was devastated and depressed for quite awhile. I went back to the Navy and got myself drunk quite alot and was even contemplating suicide.
Now here's where it changes. I'm 28 now and after 10 years and a lot of growing up, time has shown me that as emotionally wrecked as I was that I have come along way and put it behind me. I found a much better woman to share my life with and realize that while it hurt then it made me a stronger person today.
Don't let this incident be the deciding moment in your young life. Take it and learn from it. Grow stronger because of it. You WILL look back on your life someday as I have mine and realize that it was part of your journey in becoming an adult. There are so many things I have yet to learn and will go through my fair share of disappointments before my time comes, but that's all part of being a person. What we decide to do with these things defines us and makes us more real. There are always people who will care about you and even though they may not be an intricate part of your life you still affect them in someway as you have affected everyone on this board. There are people on this board like myself who have never really held a dialogue with you, but read and enjoy your wit.
We support you and wish you the best while you tangle with your situation. sincerely Turbo
