Omggg.....

Perhaps it would be good to join a gym, it would help with some of the free time and perhaps you would meet some new friends that have more of a health focus.

Also, you are trying hard and sometimes doing the right thing is the hardest thing to do.

You can meet people and make new friends wherever you are! Do you like going to church? Churches always have groups for different age groups and some even have them based on interests. You can make new friends but you gotta go to places you like to find people similiar to you!

Jacquiii - I have been in you position. I too was a military brat. We moved a 2 to 4 years. It sucked! I was a shy person and had a really hard time making friends. When I did make friends, I would only have 1 or 2. I would try to connect with your old friends if you could. If they are good friends that is. Even though you say "you just disappeared". Tell them what happened, that your parents moved. Atleast then you have someone to talk to until you can meet new friends. What do you mean by you fall under the influence too easy?

As a mom to 2 teenagers (and a former teenager myself) I do know that things are hard. Can you talk with your parents at all? Do you have any interest or groups that you like that you could maybe get involved in. I know it is hard to think about things like this when your depressed or life gets you down. But keep talking, even if it's on here. Just try to keep talking to positive people.

Thanks for the advice... But the thing is I'm not shy at all the reason I don't have any friends is because I'm not in any kind of position to meet friends... U kno ppl don't jus come up to uon the side of the street and ask u to be their friend.... I need to be More involved which is really hard to do over Christmas break but I'm going to start working on collage which should help I jus got to stay posative.........I have a ton of old friends, well cus u kno bein in the military u move alot which means u meet tons of ppl well anyways the thing with my old friends is they know the old me the one who got in trouble alot and didn't always do the right thing and the thing with fallowing under the influence is there r alot of pressures out there ppl telling you to do this and try tht and unfortunately I wasn't very strong with all of the stress I have going on in my life which I am now learning how to cope with it which comes with getting older well anyways I need to leave my old friends in the past for I can not move on with that kind of negative influence in my life but thank you for ur concern

Ps. Be careful with ur kids there is alot of peer pressure out there but I'm sure they'll do great with your support

Thankyou:)

Jacqui,

It is very hard to adjust after moving around so much. I know because I served in the Marine Corps for almost 12 years. I found it very hard to adjust to coming home and I could imagine what it would be like for a child who cannot make the right decisions when they are given no choice in where they want to live. It does take time but the key is to not fall into your old habits and try something new. You always have a choice and that means you do not need to deal with the bad things in life. You can always follow your gut and know what is right and wrong. It seems like you know that the things that are tempting you are bad things. Out of all the things that a person can do, it is the most easiest to do the bad things because you think the rewards are greater than doing the right thing when those rewards can be less satisfying. Just know that it does take a great deal of work to do the right thing and its easy to fall into evil.

Just know that you always have friends on here that can help you even though we are not physically there, you still have new friends on here.

Yes it is very difficult making the rite decision.... Thank you:)
