Why – Anonymous Teen Blog

K.I.M Says: I created this forum so that kids could speak on issues they wanted to.  Some do so openly some do so anonymously.  This was submitted anonymously. I had a really good childhood up until I was seven, then a classic case of divorce really affected me… I didn’t understand why she was leaving.. Why she didn’t love us anymore. Why she didn’t call. Why she didn’t wish me a happy birthday, a merry Christmas. Why she didn’t visit my brother in the hospital. Why she didn’t come rushing in when she knew what was happening to me every single night. Why she gave up on herself. Why she turned to Meth. Why she stopped loving the three kids she… Continue reading Why - Anonymous Teen Blog

K.I.M Says: Everyone please welcome Jodine to The Secret Life Blog, this is her 1st blog so please leave her some comments

In front of a mirror there are many things people recognize. Blemishes, baby fat, moles, hair, etc. When we think of the word beauty, we think of the physical appearance we think of models with too much make up, or singers with surgically enhanced breasts, or actresses with "fixed" noses. We'll I Took the time to look up the word beauty and the definition that came up; we'll it wasn't the definition I see people relate to in the real world.… Continue reading Beauty by @simplyjojobby

@jacintabonita – Young, Love, Friends?

Honestly, i believe i was once in love. My first love, and only so far was..SOMEONE. Yes i've written many countless notes, journals, entries, etc about him. We broke up, dated again , and broke up again. When i hear fellow teens talk about being in love i have two sides tearing me apart: iAMiNlOVE vs. iLOVEHiM . truly, after my experiences, teen love is rare. Im not saying it never happens, its just barely. just... wait i guess. There's nothing i know now that would have changed my decisions in the past, because you can't change it. You can only shape your future based on your past. No one had to teach me anything, cause i dont… Continue reading @jacintabonita - Young, Love, Friends?

I had so many questions running through my head like “What’s my first day going to be like?” “Will I make friend?” “Will people tease of me?” There were one million and one questions running through my head all at once. Being in a different school with new people when you think about it kind of makes

@NitaPooh Talks About Pimples & How It’s Changed Her Life & Friends!

Okay so this is my first blog and it definitely won't be my last.  In this blog, I'm going to explain the way I feel almost everyday.  At times this feeling may be stronger than other times. This is not the feeling you think it is.  It's a feeling of being ignored, neglected and left out. In elementary school, I was one of the most well-known students. Even the staff knew who I was. They knew me because I was intelligent and stayed out of trouble.

When I got… Continue reading @NitaPooh Talks About Pimples & How It's Changed Her Life & Friends!

Self Confidence

So about a week ago at my after school program (All stars) i was called over by a group of girls. They asked me "Amiya what do you think of *Lisa* when you look at her , and be honest." So i said i see a girl who is very quiet and she looks very timid and self conscious. And Lisa was standing nodding her head like yeah i heard that more than once.

Well  these girls are basically trying to help lisa and have been for the past month or so with her confidence… Continue reading Self Confidence
