Albert, I feel sorry for you. You never had the chance to act like a kid. Whether from circumstances or from some feeling of having a "mission", I don't know.

But, you let take these things personally, you ain't gonna last long.

ACK!

**chequita guevara** · September 11, 2003, 22:21

Maybe you're the one that's wrong.

**GePap** · September 11, 2003, 22:24

Failing what? YOU ARE 19 (OR 18) YEARS OLD!!! YOUR LIFE HAS JUST FREAKING BEGUN!!!

Cut the martyr bull: it is not, and has never been your job to make everything around you a paradise. I assume you have tried, and you know what, after you go to college and get an adult life you will have a much better chance to do something. if you care so much, why add one more statistic?

**Sava** · September 11, 2003, 22:26

Speer, despite our differences, it sounds like the "world sucks" syndrome that you have is pretty much the same as me... although my depression and thoughts of suicide focus more on how ****ty my own situation was. I suppose if my life were going good, I'd care a little less about the world's problems.

Anyways, don't worry about the world. Whether you believe God gave us free will or not, we have it, and we each make our own choices. Sure it's painful to see such problems around you and be helpless, but you've got to focus on your own life and how you can make things better. Telling people how to live their lives is lame and immoral. But educating people, and "suggesting" lifestyle choices is a noble thing. Don't tell people to throw away their condoms. Abstinence is a respectable choice, but its not for everyone.

The best you can do is live your life to the fullest and create an environment where people can make good decisions. In the end, you cant' force your morals on people. They have to make their own decisions.

Sorry to hear all that Speer. If you care for people this life can get very depressing. I worked with teenagers for years and treated them like my own sons. Many of them went to prison and some were killed. You cannot bear this kind of stuff on your own.

**chequita guevara** · September 11, 2003, 22:27

You have no right to expect others to live up to your insane morality, kid. The only person in the world you have a right to expect the kind of behavior you want from is you.

**Space05us** · September 11, 2003, 22:29

is she actually dead or are you just saying that because you think it would be the same thing. If youre just saying it then all youre doing is giving up, stick by her and help her through it dont just abandon her like that! My friend turned into a alcoholic one summer while all of his friends (including myslef) were out of town, but I didnt just come back and tell him to **** off because I didnt like how he was anymore. I was still his friend and you know what, he's not a drunk anymore.

The worst thing that could happen in her life is for her to lose one of the few people that actually care about her and want to see her do positive things with her life. Dont give up!!

Speer.

Try doing that which gets girls pregnant more. Make sure you use birth control so as to avoid adding to that problem, but you will marvel at how it improves your outlook on life.

I've never met a depressed man who just got laid. Don't fall for the abstinence nonsense whatever you do.

**Lincoln** · September 11, 2003, 22:30

Good advice Space05us.

I've known plenty of people who felt far worse after sex than better, because as a consequence of how they went about it, they felt dirty, cheap and like a user.

Sex shouldn't be used as a balm...

I am very sorry your friend got pregnant, Albert, your pain is perfectly understandable.

You feel you have a mission from God. God did not expect us to act alone, rather he formed us a Church. I strongly encourage you to get involved with one of the religious student organizations at temple.

There are more sins then those against chastity. Failure to compassion is one, and it is important you remain there for this girl as a friend. Removing yourself from her or showing her coldness will harden her heart.

Pride is another sin, and a dangerous one at that. Lucifer(Satan) is a very powerful being and the world is strong as well. It's prideful if you think you can take on the world by yourself. You feel you have a vocation from God. You must not attempt this on your own. Get involved with one of the Christian student organizations at your school and try meeting others who feel as you do. If you seriously expect to do anything, you need to this.

I'm going to eat with some friends now, but if you want to talk, feel free to PM me.

**Japher** · September 11, 2003, 22:33

che: shud-up!

Tuberski: I don't feel sorry for him.

Albert:

I love you man!

You can't fix the problem until you have the means. Being a poor boy working at Mc-Ds, wondering how you are going to pay rent, and just whinning at the system ain't going to help these people, or people like her.

You are getting fit, training for the race or match or game... Don't forget your path, and don't forget your aim, you are one bad mother F'er who knows what it takes to get this **** taken care of; once and for all.

Yeah, you will lose some on the way, but that, my friend, is collateral damage. Some have to lose so others can win. It is this that you are seeing that will become your vision to stop. Don't through away your best of means, there is no gaurentee, but only the pain that it will stop.

You are a good man, and you are doing what is right. Get your education and get yourself to a point so that you have the POWER to help. You rock, your awesome, you are what I wish I could be.

Be Strong, Be the MAN, and I will be here to tell you that you are

Peace

Don't tell us your problems.

On the topic of sex I'm with William Blake.
