I was diagnosed with Panic Disorder and Manic Depression a few years back so I understand where you're coming from. That voice is the main reason for a lot of the bad things going on in my head.
My neighbour from when I was a kid had an apple tree that grew slightly over our fence and we used to steal them for my dad's apple pies and apple crumbles -she never did like us, haha. Cooking is a good hobby to have, though when you're good at cooking all people want is for you to cook, and I think that's why my dad lost his passion for it, he was always the one cooking dinner for us all. I love to eat but I can't eat much, not as much as I'd like, anyway. My stomach can't take much stuffing.
Haha, I've watched a few tv shows that are based around stuff like your pizza story, never seen anyone I know do it though. It's not a common thing you see in the UK.
Haha, me and my dad have the same sense of humour, and we're both really sarcastic -me and my dad had that typical relationship that the student becomes the master. He taught me the ways of sarcasm and now I can run circles around him with it.
I know what you mean, going through all that just to have a kid that will, even on it's best days, taunt you in some way just doesn't sit well with my logical side -I'd rather have a dog. I think that's what I like about them, or at least some of them, I get to act like a child again and no one can say a thing 'cause to them, I'm just entertaining a kid. I'm not good with crying kids, I get uncomfortable and overwhelmed quickly. Maybe, but I daresay they wouldn't want the kid either, haha, we'd probably end up arguing over who's turn it is to look after the kid.
Animals are constantly having to adapt due to the human population constantly growing, which is another thing I hate about the human race, not that they keep popping out little humans, but because they think they're entitled to everything when in most cases, we're the least entitled. My mum always said that the way the world is going to end isn't by the wrath of god, or some natural disaster, but by the incompetence and selfishness of the human race, be it a third world war, global warming or something else.
My good comebacks come from the fact that I have a sarcastic dad and had a rather sharp-tongued mum.
I am happy-go-lucky and funny for the most part, with people I get along with at least, but to outsiders, especially the ones I don't like, I'm cool headed and protective, sometimes cold. Though when I do have comebacks they do tend to have some funniness to them.
Catherine and Victoria were never really brave enough to face up to their bullies either, the amount of times I'd seen them crying while still getting bullied is still heart wrenching, but that was normally when I'd lose my rag with the bullies, and most likely, it wouldn't be just words I was throwing at them, though I did try not to throw anything else. Sometimes I just saw red, as they say.
Catherine was bullied in the same way as your one friend, they always bullied her for the way she smelled, though I never really understood why.
To be so hateful towards someone else to the point you can't sit in a room together and not fight, especially when they share a common friend, is really sad. Even though there have been people I've really disliked, I've never been to the point where I physically couldn't stop myself from fighting them if we were to be in the same room together. In order for it to get like that there needs to be a lot of anger and animosity between two people.
It was nice to see, as well. Though now I do feel as though they may have done it for me, as once we left Primary School and went on to Secondary School, me and Catherine going to the same school, but Victoria going to a different one, they didn't stay in touch with each other, whereas I visited them both a lot, and even invited each one to come visit the other with me, both declining to.
I'm actually eating some chocolate now, haha, all this talk about it made me crave it.
Haha, well I look forward to seeing your best then.

I failed in replying often >.<
Oh dear, are you okay then? I haven't been diagnosed with anything, I haven't bothered but my sister has insomnia and depression etc. It can be hard so how have you coped?
That's amazing, you got free Apple's from the neighbours tree? How did they react? Did they know you were stealing them? My neighbour actually quite liked me, I used to go around and hang out with their daughter and stuff. I've tried to get into cooking but every time I fail, I'm exactly like my grandad, once he tried to make something simple like beans and toast and he burnt the toast and messed up on the beans. My gran never let him cool again and when my dad was a kid and my gran left for the night, he would decide to cook for himself rather than let my grandad cook. It's a shame that he lost the passion for cooking, my parents used to take it in turns to cook so that wasn't a problem. I know what you mean, when I eat dinner I never eat it all because I become full and then when I'm in bed my stomach starts growling and I think 'Why couldn't I just eat my dinner?' And then go downstairs to get a snack.
Yeah, it isn't I never thought to ask where the pizza place was though. Shame, I would have liked to go there, see if the rule was still up.
That sounds cool, my dad didn't really have my sense of humour I actually got that from my sister. So we wouldn't have much to talk about other than his hobbies and just regular chats.
Yes, I love dogs, I would also prefer a dog but at the same time apart from the nappies, crying and sick I have always loved babies. They're so cute and chubby and fun to play with. To be honest even if I'm not with a kid I act like a child, it's just so fun to act like an idiot and run around crazily. I totally agree, crying children just make me feel like I did something wrong but I never know what to do to make them stop. Yeah, I would probably keep chart of who's looked after them the most just because Of the arguments. I think I would be an irresponsible parent.
Yes, when I talk about the end of the world, which actually happens more than household have thought, it normally happens due to the human race being idiotic or overpopulation. I've always liked the sound of super volcano but that's almost impossible, I think I'm just weird. Now, due to the human race the most likely scenarios are what you just said.
My parents are neither of those, they are calm, rather friendly and although they can stand up for themselves and their beliefs it's never them being rude. So... I don't have anything to make me have good comebacks.
That makes sense, everyone has ways to act with outsiders. Mind is to not talk and look at them like they are dangerous.
People bullied them that badly? What were they bullied about other than smell? With me it was normally my friend who saw red and lost it. She was very aggressive to bullies and for some reason they continued to bully her.
I never really understood the smell thing either although my other friend got them deodorant for their birthday, I thought it was a little insensitive but they did make it a girly type thing with other beauty accessories to try and hide the fact of what the deodorant was for.
Yes it was pretty sad but they were too similar. They were both incredibly competitive and natural leaders so when they thought differently, it would all turn into a bit argument. Besides, one of them were really aggressive too, always wanting to prove that they're the best so whereas most of my friends would just settle and agree with her the other one wouldn't take it. Which I can understand the point of but I wouldn't have wanted to upset them.
It's a shame you're friends didn't stay in touch, do you think it was that they didn't want to?
Aw, I don't have any chocolate in my house, I ate it all already.

Haha, that's okay. Life and other things can get in the way, so I understand.
Hmm, it's kind of hard to answer that question if I'm honest, I feel like if I was to say 'I'm okay' I'd be lying to both myself and you, as they aren't exactly things that are gone completely even on the best of days. All I can say is that I take it one step at a time and that I hope the next is steadier than the last.
Tell your sister I hope she's able to navigate her way through her depression and insomnia to the other side. I may even meet her there one day, haha.
Haha, yeah, we did. We never bought apples while we lived there. I don't think she knew, but if she did then she didn't say anything, and it probably added to her dislike for us. Or really me as it was always me who'd have to climb the fence to pick them. Haha, we're generally a family of good cooks, I mean, no ones messed up toast or beans or the like. I can understand why your dad would do that, there's nothing worse than a terrible dinner. It just ruins everything. Though that may just be my exaggeration of it. I know, yeah, by the time I was old enough to get near a cooker or the like on my own, he'd already lost his passion for it. We take it in turns now, though. Me and my dad. I used to do that a lot as a kid, having midnight snacks but as I've grown older I've lost the urge for it, if I'm hungry and it's late at night I'll just go to bed, haha.
Me and my dad don't really have regular chats if I'm honest, though I have tried. We always resort to sarcasm when it's the two of us. I wish we did, as there are times we need to have serious talks.
I can get behind that, though I tend to be seen as the more responsible one, I do like to resort to playful, childish acts. It's fun to reenact the childhood we all once had. Crying children don't make me feel as though I've done something wrong unless I was interacting with them when they started to cry, it's mainly the fact that I have no idea what to do in that situation, I'm far too blunt, and though that can come in handy with adults, it doesn't with children. They need someone to guide them in a gentle manner, not push them in the right direction. I'd most defiantly do that, we'd have a chart for everything. I've always known I'd be an irresponsible parent, kids bring out that irresponsible side of me, so me and kids aren't the best of mixes.
Hmm, the end of the world isn't a common thing in our household, though it does come up now and again, mainly with some humour slipping in alongside the anger and disgust for the human race. All I can say is that I hope the human race is eradicated before we destroy the world and all that inhabit it. Probably a bad thing to say, as I am a human myself, but, meh.
My dad's more of the loner type, or really, he just doesn't care about having the company of others, he's content with or without them. My mum was really friendly, to the point, I'd be walking out into the front garden with a tray of 10+ plus coffee's in the early mornings a lot. She brought home a lot of stray people, all opting to stay, most calling her mum as well.
Yeah, they were, Catherine about her weight, and her family. Victoria about her looks and her family. Neither really came from the best of family backgrounds, and a lot of people used that information as ammo for their sick entertainment.
Some bullies want to get a rise out of you, enjoy it in fact, though most of the bullies didn't like when I got aggressive, as most times I'd win. Be it with words, or let's be honest, fists.
Hmm, I can see why you saw it as a bit insensitive, and why others may have, too. But maybe that friend was hoping that if the other used the deodorant the bullies would stop? I can't see that friend meaning it as some kind of admission to your friend smelling, they were probably trying to help in their own way, as well as make the other feel pampered.
I can sort of see that, I know I've banged my head (figuratively speaking) with someone who's been just as stubborn and as much of a natural leader as I am, though I've never been in a situation where I've needed someone to essentially watch over me and another person due to our explosive reactions to each other.
I don't know. I think they were just too different to get along with each other, I mean most times when I'd go to the bathroom or the like I'd come back and they'd both be sitting in silence, or Victoria had wondered off. I think I was the only thing that kept them together, and once the reason for them to be around each other was gone, they didn't see the need in purposely going out of their way to interact with the other. I think it's less that they didn't want to, and more they just didn't see the point as both knew they'd never really be on the same wavelength. It was essentially a mute point. Neither was hurt because neither of them really cared.
Aww, I better not tell you that have quite a bit of chocolate left then? Haha. It won't last long, though, it never does with me.

Yes, I can understand how that kind of thing wouldn't just leave. But I hope it's at least getting better for you, it helps to hear that people can get even slightly better because it makes me think my sister can too.
I kind of doubt she'll get there soon, she always seems so tired and such and because of that I hope you don't get there after her, otherwise you'll be travelling a long time.
That's a great way to save money, haha, don't buy the apples! Just take them! It's a good thing she didn't know, how do you think she would have reacted if she knew? How big was the fence? Was it hard to climb? That's good, it means your family will never have to order food, instead you can just cook it. Yeah, even I don't mess up beans on toast so I don't understand how my grandad did! I hate had dinners, it's like the worst thing ever and I don't think you're exaggerating but that's just my opinion. No! I can't imagine his going to bed, when I'm hungry, I can't help but go and eat even if I want to sleep.
I love sarcasm, it's really funny and I love it when someone doesn't get that it's sarcasm because they get so confused by what you say. However I can understand how you would want a serious talk.
I'm not seen as responsible most of the time, however sometimes I can be seen as that but not often... It is fun being a child and it is fun to return to that. That is what I meant, I meant that when I'm near a child trying to entertain them and they cry, or even really if I'm near them. That is also about her problem, I only know how to entertain a child or baby and nothing else because I'm very awkward. Yes, charts are very useful to keep track.
Yeah I agree with you but whenever I make that kind of point I get weird looks and it's as if they have me, so I make my case and practically force them to agree with me using logic. None of my current friends can beat me on the end of the world/ humans fault argument.
My dad isn't really the loner type, he has quite a lot of friends but I never used to see them because they would either be from work or join him in one of his hobbies and my mum only had a few friends and one time when she said she was going to have a sleep over I said, "What are you talking about? Grown up don't have sleepovers." And as it turned out, they do. ..
It is very upsetting how many people bring family into these matters, in my opinion that is the one thing that should never ever be used for bullying or anything of the sort because it is not that persons fault that they come from bad backgrounds of families.
Yes, I can see why you would have lashed out, it is a decent solution if they pushed too far, but it was one that I could never do.
That is true, but being the pessimist I am, I normally only see the worst of things, that actually might had been able to fix things. However, my friend didn't seem to use the deodorant at all, which wasn't very good.
It isn't great when two of the same people like that meet and start fighting, it's often what you see in situations where students are sent out of the classrooms. Speaking of banged heads, fun fact that is not so fun, when my sister was a baby my parents hired a babysitter when they went out and the babysitter dropped her on her head. Not a very good babysitter...
First we were talking about too similar too get along and now too different, it's a real variety huh? I can understand why Victoria would do that, when I'm in an awkward/uncomfortable silence, I prefer to leave than just sit there. It's a shame that you're friends weren't more comfortable together.
Noooo! I want you're chocolate! Pass it through the screen to me! I need the chocolate.

I'm sure your sister can, even just the slightest. Sometimes, though it's not the most ideal,
it's about managing the depression and such, and taking advantage of the better days, whether they're few and far in between. If you show faith in her ability to get through it, maybe she'll one day see it too.
Well, I've been dealing with my depression and such since I was around the age of 12-13, and I'm now 20 -21 on the 18th of August, whoopie- though I was only diagnosed a few years back (you don't just get manic depression out of the blue, it's the type that grows over time, or at least I didn't, and that's the time the depression started for me), so I've already been travelling this road a long time, but despite that, don't let that make you think your sister could be travelling the same road she is for many years to come, there's no set time to it. Just stick with her even in her darkest moments. Try and be her light -if you're able to, as we don't want your mental health being put in jeopardy- when she can only see darkness.
Haha, I guess so. She would have been really angry, not because we were essentially stealing from her -we totally were- but I think more to the fact that she would have had another thing to dislike us for. It was around 3-4ft, and at first, it was hard, but I soon figured out how best to do it, and I also got taller over the years, hehe. Most of the time it does, but sometimes, on our laziest of days, or our most indulgent of days, we'll order in, but it's very seldom we do. Haha, I suppose I can understand that, but if I'm too tired I'm normally able to ignore the belly rumbles.
So do I, if you couldn't already tell. My mum wasn't very good at reading sarcasm, and when she'd try to be sarcastic it'd fall flat most of the time. Me and my dad used to love to tease her about it.
Ah, okay. I understand now. It's good to feel so free you feel as though you can be playful, I don't get to feel that often but it's lovely when I do. I'm there with you on the awkwardness. I'm more likely to upset a child more than I am likely to calm them down, haha.
People sometimes give me weird looks when I bring it up or annoyed looks, but I'm normally able to just shrug it off unless they challenge my opinion then I'll state my case.
Haha, I have to say, my mum never had sleepovers, or at least not as an adult. She and her friends weren't really the type.
My thoughts exactly, but I think that's why they're likely to target it because they know it's a low blow and that it's generally off the table. They like reactions, and bringing someone's family into it is a sure way to get one.
I can understand that, and I'd rather not do it if I'm honest, I'd rather tear them down with words, which I know I'm capable of doing, but it's normally an unconscious decision normally fuelled by rage.
They could have just not liked it, or kept it for special occasions.
I've never actually been sent out of a classroom, even Mrs Fountains, haha. Though I think that's more to the fact that she knew how much I was liked by all the other teachers, including the head teacher so they were likely to ask me if there was something the matter than they were to tell me off, which would have led to her getting in trouble.
That is most defiantly not a good babysitter. Our parents never hired a babysitter, they normally just had a close family member look after us.
Haha, yep. It's funny how you only notice these things when you look back on it all. I never clocked on as a kid to how uncomfortable they were with the other. I thought we were all friends. Not that I was the only reason they even sat together.
Haha, too late. I ate them all. *Hides her chocolate behind her back.* Yep. All gone. *Cough* *Cough*
