guys... lets take a step back and look at this for a second. we're arguing about things like "the title of this thread" and whether someone keeps a journal or not. clearly neither of those is this issue that needs addressing here... so i dont see any need to argue about things that are irrelavent.

so, what is this thread about? self-esteem? perhaps, at least partially. but thats clearly not what the main issue is. if any of you saw the thread that casey posted a few days ago about, basically, his life falling apart, i think there would be a bit more understanding goin on here. maybe its just how i see things... but when i see someone with a problem i tend to try to help rather than simply point out fault. i made a reference in an earlier post to this forum being somewhat of a family... lets try and treat things, at least those things that are important, as a family would. maybe i'm way off base, but i dont think so.

as far as age, its irrelavent. maturity is not. i'm older than a majority of the people on this site... does that really mean anything truly? i dont think so. if i come across a 12 year old with a good head on their shoulders and some maturity in some way, shape or form... would i treat them worse than a 17 year old with no sense? certainly not. age is not an issue here.
