Once again, To annonymous poster :
Well, in my opinion, which may not mean much is this :
Every child is different. Thats something most parents do not understand. We are not that kid on tv that does drugs and hides it from their parent, We are not that kid on the street that you pass everyday that dropped out of school, and most importantly, we are not our siblings. We are each individual... Some of us are honest, and some of are not. I would like to put myself on the more honest catagory, but my mother constantly thinks I am lying to her...
Secondly... These journals are, honstly... crap. I write stuff in here that is all spur of the moment emotional bullshit (excuse the language). Thats what most teenagers are. I hate it when my mom wants me to talk to her when I am upset... becuase things come out that I honestly do not mean. I need time to sit down and realize where these feelings are coming from.. and i guess this thing puts those feelings together. I dont mean half of the stuff I write in this thing. Oh sure, I meant it when i wrote it, but going back over it, I know i was over-reacting and being utterly stupid.
Give us time... don't badger us, over protect us. We are who we are, who we are going to be. If your daughter is keeping things secret from you, I am very sorry... I wish I could help. Most of that is fear on her part also. Fear of how you are going to react. You honestly can't blame all of that on your kid though... I'm not saying that you are all to blame, but give her a chance, trust her. I bet you raised a pretty damn decent kid. Trust in that.
