yes i read a lot of kids journals. and yes, i don't know you, but you are not so different from lots of kids exploding into a very strange world - if you think it strange that i, once in a while, respond to cries of anguish, then i won't - not to you, anyway, but i do hope that you find the inner you that is clearly there - i see it in your writing.
now to the last round of comments - it's clear from some of the responses you received that there are a lot of children at your school - rather disgusting children that think that heaping loads of hurt onto you is great fun. it's not right, but some people never grow up. you should know that such comments are not really about you - they are a reflection of anger coming from whoever sent them. too bad for them - i'm sorry you have such "friends."
second - your journal is not a private expression - it's on the internet for the entire world. if what you say embarrasses you, click your friends button and shut the strangers out. but the very act of writing in a public journal is an exhibitionist act, inviting comments. when you get one from a stranger, usually it is because you have hit some emotional chord that begs a response - an honest response, i think - that makes it worth the trouble to actually send you a comment. i have no baggage about you that clouds what i tell you. if my comments offend you, i am truly sorry. it was not posted out of hate, as is the case of some of the pee-brained responses you received.
finally - everybody has an opinion about you - some clearly love you, some clearly don't. i don't see any by-standers, so you must be something pretty special. also, you are very young - i know you hate to admit that, but you are. so there is plenty of time for you to grow into the woman you want to be. start now. as i said to you earlier, when you stop chasing love and start being just you, love will find you. don't be afraid to make it wait - it will.
