I'm sorry you are sad right now.

Is there anything you enjoy doing that you can throw yourself into? Any hobbies you and your mom can do together? I know you don't like her right now, but maybe if you spent some one-on-one time with her, maybe your relationship would get better?

You can always concentrate heavily on school. In two years, you'll graduate...right? Then you can move away and do what you want...with good grades, you can go to most any school you'd like.

When I get down I focus my energy on things outside my life. I volunteer and it makes me feel good to help someone else, but it also removes me from my problems.

Are there any animal shelters you could volunteer at?

I hope you feel better just knowing that we care. Life really is hard sometimes...its the bad stuff that makes you stronger.

Take care, sweetie.
