Try something simple, like a bit of cereal, or crackers. Just please, eat.

If you're trying to continue your trend of not eating, then posting on this thread is not the right thing to do. You should no by now that posting about not eating on this thread will no nothing but bring several people who care about you to tears. This is anorexia, Heather, it's not natural. It's unhealthy. I swear to god, you can have any of my food just please eat. ;_;

cheezemziez 01-30-2013 06:51 PM

If you're worried about your weight, then it seriously doesn't matter. But that's the problem, then start off like DR said, with small amounts of food, just healthy stuff.

Jesse 01-30-2013 08:10 PM

Yeah, I should wash off the blue spot...

Scared- it's HIGH school. Full of loud, noisy, brutal, huge, TEENAGERS(i really hate noise)
Excited- It's high SCHOOL. Full of tests and fun reading and writing activities. Seriously, one reading class had a list of options they could do when reading hunger games and one of them was act out, film and edit a short hunger games film. IN a writing class, one group wrote and PUBLISHED a horror story as part of thier grade, and when I went to the orientation, the science students SET MY HANDS ON FIRE AND I DIDN'T FEEL A THING! I FELT LIKE A FIRE BENDER!
So, does anyone have any tips?

Set your hands on fire?!
Oh...wait. It's science.
I seriously don't know...

Whenever I see any "I'm leaving!" posts, it's all about how KidPub helped them grow as writers.

And frankly... I don't see that.

When I look through posts, I see many that could use CC. And most of the CC is something vague such as: "You misplaced a few commas," or something insignificant (that could have been caught had the writer proof-read) such as: "You forgot the g in 'runnin'"
Other than that, the average KPer gets 2-3 comments of praise with perhaps one or two bits of CC that is unhelpfully minor.

Maybe it's because I'm not active in KP's community, maybe it's because I don't make friends or do anything other than post the occasional chapter every six months.

And maybe I'm the only one who thinks writing is more than just grammar/spelling/punctuation.

"And both you and I both know your parents want the best for you."
Can you not
maybe for school
But everything else?
I'm not sure, because grades seem to be everything the want me to live for.

It used to be different...but in ways, you're right.
KP HAS helped me as an author, but probably not that much more than I would have grown from 2010 to 2012 anyway. But I think part of it is that we're able to be surrounded by people who love writing like us...so we can just keep going.

ME TOO. I haven't been to school since Monday. It's making me really upset since I've missed at least two tests and I'm supposed to go to a birthday party tomorrow after school and I'm not even up to it, and my iPad's down and I have to get it fixed as Best Buy so I can't text my friends.

But I haven't just improved in grammar. I have more creative ideas, better dialogue and character development--those are the things that I think people are talking about when they say that they've improved.

I'm really sorry that this is happening to you, Owen. No-one deserves to be bullied, especially not awesome epykful people like you. You shouldn't have to put up with it. Have you told your parents/teachers?
Yeah. These things really suck. We're here for you, and we can hunt them down if you want us to. Sorry for reminding you about it.

*hugs* I sorta know what you are going through. With the pressure, if you are feeling too stressed, or just pressured, count to ten, take some deep breaths (In 7, hold 7, out 7, hold 7), and focus on one place on a wall, and relax. I know your family life is rough, but, you have a second family here, and I'm almost positive that we will be here, with you, and be here, for you... :o My contact tab is available. :D

If you don't feel like eating, find something that isn't filling, like candy or something kinda healthy... But I'm glad that you are eating.

Don't think about it, then. And try to avoid them...is there any place that the bullies wouldn't be able to bully you? Like a library or whatever?

Try and take a very hot shower. I don't know. It just feels like it helps. And wash your face. I hope you're all right.

Thanks. I never completely, like, full-out starved myself, I just skipped a few snacks or a meal a day, and part of it is that lately my body and I aren't getting along-- as in, I dislike the way I look, strongly. So... I guess... I don't know. I'm getting somewhere, but I don't know where.

/tackleglompsandhuggles Bullying of any kind is awful. Tell a teacher or a parent or something - your school will be able to deal with it. Don't be afraid to voice your responses to the bullies - a good way to get good quickfire responses is to practice in front of a mirror. I've got a handbook full of tips on how to stand up to verbal bullies and make them stop - it's really helped me a lot - do you want me to email them to you?
No-one deserves to be bullied. You can be bullied for anything - being too intelligent, not being intelligent enough, being too quiet, being to loud - and bullies are just smaller unimportant people who want to gain attention. They're the kind of people who will quote stuff like 'Why blend in when you were born to stand out' and stuffs, when all they do is try to blend and get others to conform. They are small-minded little-
I think I may stop there. XD But listen, anytime you need advice on how to cope and stand up to verbal bullying from peers, my inbox is always open - I'm pretty much an expert after over 9 years of being bullied. And you don't have to explain your situation if you don't want to.
We're all here for you. /huggles

I didn't actually witness it. I was on my way to Circus School, mom and dad were in the front of the car arguing, and I got out of the car and ran down to the house and go get the person we were picking up for our carpool and when I got back dad was gone; he'd left and was walking home from this person's house, and mom told me when we got back and she and him were arguing again a second ago.
Why is it always my brother they fight about.

Lily09 02-01-2013 10:04 PM

I'm not in a ton of school drama but anyways,

1. this

2. I'm going to rant about C again, because she's being a b**ch.
OKAY SHE ALWAYS FINDS A REASON TO BE MAD AT ME
Example, that girl on my tumblr I ranted about, is J.

Yesterday, E and I got to lunch before C so I saved a seat for Litzy. C sits down next to my pencil bag (which is saving Litzy's spot) J gets her lunch before Litzy does, so she moves my pencil bag. I tell her that I'm saving that spot for Litzy, so J sighs and then C sighs and then moves my stuff over so she can sit next to J. It doesn't bother me that she moved my stuff because it doesn't really make a difference, WHAT BOTHERS ME IS THAT SHE IS MAD AT ME THE ENTIRE DAYS AND SPEAKS TO ME IN AN ANGRY TONE THE ENTIRE DAY RIGHT AFTER THAT INCIDENT. Why is she mad that I got there before so I saved a seat for my friend? C didn't save a spot for J and J didn't save a seat for her, she doesn't need to be mad at me.
I'm SICK AND TIRED of C being mad at me for every little thing. I don't care that they didn't save seats for each other, I just hate how C finds every little thing to be mad at me. I know that she got hurt, but she acts like I'm being the b**ch NOW, when in fact, she IS THE FEMALE DOG.

Not just that, she acts like she's above me in every way. She acts like she's above me because I fangirl. Because I ship people. Because I write fanfiction.

asdfghjl;dafdsfasdf


and just to C (even though you rarely go on here, I just need to get this out):

stop it. You're not any better than me because you don't obsess over things. You're not any better than me because you don't care about how you dress. You're not any better than me because you listen to pop and rock. Just because I fangirl doesn't make me any less. Just because I care about my weight and my hair and my skinny jeans doesn't make me any less. Just because I stick to rock music doesn't make me any less.

Get off your high horse and look around, because you're not better than anyone else here. Yeah sure, you write better and get decent grades and the teachers are convinced you'll become a famous author, but being a b**ch doesn't make anything good. I'm not below you, so don't look down at me like I'm annoying bug that deserves to go roll in filth.

I've honestly, honestly tried telling you millions of times I'm freaking sorry. I truly am. I don't expect you to get over it, but I don't like being treated like I'm just dirt either.

3. CAn YOU NOT

R, STOOOOOPPP.
"I'm the nicest person in the world."
CAN YOU STOP BEING SO VAIN
No.
Stop mocking Litzy, okay?
"Hey, Litzy, give me all your money. Oh wait, you don't have any because you're poor!"

NO
DONT F*CK WITH MY FRIENDS
IM SERIOUS?
YOU DON'T DO THAT OKAY
It's not Litzy's fault her family doesn't have a lot of money. Her family is doing the best they can.
don't mess with my friends
You, C, and J. You're the group of girls that think you're above Litzy, E, and I.

That awesome moment when you not only figure out how to not only block ALL THE ADS EVERYWHERE ON THE INTERNET, (I figured that out several months ago, thanks to Camille) but also figure out how to turn off the ability to see comments on every YouTube video.
