 Adam:
by: Adam

Your parents may well have used God as their reasons for your being here, but in truth, they are not godly people. Godly people do not attack their precious son and use whatever they can against him. That's not devotion; it's despicable. You ARE enough, Adam. You ARE smart. You ARE worthy to be here and to be treated with dignity and respect. I'll repeat, you ARE worthy to be here. The world can and will be a better place because you're here. Don't ever forget that. Your parents are sick in the mind. Their words are powerful in that they are breaking you down. But you have options. You have a choice, Adam: to believe in what your obviously disturbed parents are saying, or to believe in the power you have in your SELF. I choose your SELF, because that is the true you. Please consider contacting one of the hotlines listed on my stories page, depending on where you live, in order to talk to someone confidentially. You certainly deserve the help. Hang in there, and always remember that in spite of your parents, you ARE lovable and worthy of love. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

Adam, we are all accidents- and if planned we will be an accident waiting to happen. But you must see that you have worth wether your family members see worthiness in you or not.

See, I'm a firm believer in the notion that if a person is continually told they are worthles, they will become what they are told they are. If so, then you are right about living a lie. But the lie is about your life, it's about the people who don't really know you. And that can happen with family members- they didn't want you, they don't want you, and they don't want to know you.But let tell you a secret. The pain you feel, is the pain they can't deal with, and have transfered to you.

When I have a delima I really don't want to confront, but I know I'm going to have to deal with anyway, I go to a spritual place inside me where I know I'm safe and secure. There I can just meditate and contemplate my delima. I always thought I was alone there, but I wasn't. There's a lot of comfort in finding the spiritual you and your place.

You're not dumb, you are wanted, and you are going to get through this. Yhe opposite of a lie is the truth. Seek it out. Just might put a smile on your face.

 Me
by: Adam

My parents, i am here and that is all they need to know. They feel the need to excert their beliefs on me. They disregard my feelings and expect me to be obedient.
I like a boy but because they do not like him it is wrong. I was happy to admit to my parents that i had found someone i liked.
Now i belong in hell.

 Christianity??
by: Tiffany

First of all i am a very big fan of Jesus, i am a christian and always will be BUT
JESUS SAID LOVE!
the way your parents treat you is wrong!

i personally do not think that being a christian means you have to be heterosexual. if you like guys then you like guys.

please do not connect your parents with god because what they are showing you is definitively not christ like.

 My own stuff
by: Adam

Not sure what happened, maybe it because i released some tension by actually admiting that my life is wrong. My parents have not changed but i have. I no longer just sulk in my room wishing my family would just like me. I am 16 and the other day i was picking up tree blossom and throwing it in my friends faces. I was laughing and having fun and it felt great. Weekends i am hardly ever home except to sleep. School is great, its easter so there is none LOL. I have not been to church in the last 3 weeks because i have been out with friends. I do not think God will mind in fact i think he will approve because i do feel a tinge of guilt for not going. Seriously though if i talk to a teacher at school will they have to inform my parents. I am feeling good at the moment and i think it might be the right time for me to talk with someone.

 Feeling good
by: Adam

Never thought this would happen to me, i mean i was the kid who used to sulk and hide in his room. Constantly listening to other peoples opinions of me. I am staying with a friend over summer, his parents with a lot of influence from my friend invited me. Also i am staying on at school after summer, i want my A-levels because i want to go to university. I want my future not my past. I think that some how my personallity is over powering my parents insults towards me. I do love my parents but they do not always love me which still hurts. Just glad i am away for the summer and its on the coast.
