  • I need a hug for my older sister. She has gotten into so much trouble and is having such a hard time. I’m not allowed to even know what she did. But I can tell she is not a happy person, and it doesn’t help when we have a stepdad none of us like. She is getting even worse because she doesn’t have her phone or WiFi, so she can’t communicate with anyone. She cries often and has been harming herself.

  • Hey guys!
    So today my dad’s car broke down and we are getting it towed right now. The guy at the Auto-Shop said it’ll be TWO WEEKS OR MORE before we get the car back. Nationals (dressage) are being held the first week of July and I REALLY REALLY need to practice for them… but with the car trouble and all it looks like I won’t get to practice for a while (Loner cars arn’t available for 6 days and and the week after I won’t be able to ride because of final exams and all that “fun” stuff.) . I am extremely nervous about Nationals (I don’t want to quit because trucking a horse to KY and paying the entry fees isn’t cheap!!!) and on top of that I have my exams to worry about so hopefully I make it through the next few weeks ok. 😉

    I know its not a major problem but I’m just SUPER nervous for Nationals that I’m kinda panicking right now. I’ll take it step by step and hope for the best!!! I also have to go to my older brother’s end of year thingy and then go out to lunch with his friends that are a few years older than me (It’s gonna be a little awkward for my brother to have his younger sister hanging around but that’s just too bad for him!! 😛 )

    Sorry for ranting!! 🙁

      • Thanks everyone! We got our car back yesterday so today I’m going to the barn today for a light ride… he hasn’t been ridden in a week and a half so he might be a little frisky… 😀

  • Only got a problem, ehh not really important, but anyway…

    Tomorrow will be the last day of Elementary School for me. I don’t want to leave Elementary, especially the students and teachers there, and also Summer Vacation doesn’t get me hyped anymore. I cried last year after leaving my 4th grade teacher, and I don’t want to sob again 🙁 I just don’t want to go to Middle School yet. I just want to remain in Elementary, but can’t. Many, many of the 5th grade students will be going to a different Middle School than I am, and from the field trip, it only seemed to be barely the amount of a whole class or a class and a half… I just hope I don’t get upset tomorrow, and if I do, might be off BlogClan for 1 – 3 days.

    Reply

    • Aww, I’m sorry. It can be really hard to change schools. If you’re really sad about leaving part of your grade, that’s okay. Just remember you will meet new friends at the middle school and will still have part of your grade there. *Hugs*

      Reply

    • Aw Lupinekit, I totally understand how you feel. I’m changing schools too, and I’ve made some awesome friends here. My best friend won’t be coming with me, and that really hurts 🙁 But Lupine, remember that middle school will still be great. Life goes on, even if you’re forced away from what you love; you can always learn to love something else just as strongly. *huggles*

    • That happened to me. I loved my elementary school more then pretty much everything. And my class. It was a small school and there was only one class for each grade, and I had been with them for six years. But then most of them went to this huge middle school, and I went to a small one, only 150 kids. I love it here, in fact meeting new kids is one of the best parts of middle school, because you get to start over, shed all of the nicknames and stereotypes of your old school, and you can be who you want to be now, with you other friends, there’s a saying, make new friends but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold.

    • I felt the same way when elementary school ended. It sucks, but you should be able to go back and visit your teachers. Keep in touch with your friends through email or something, if that’s possible. -huggles-

      Reply

    • Aw Lup! You’ll be fine! I completely know how you feel. Elementary school was amazing, but think of it like this: Middle school means a new start, new friends, new teachers, more fun! Keep in touch with your friends and teachers! *huggles* <3 *gives feel better pie*

    • FORGOT THE HUGGLEZ! *HUGGLES A MILLION TIMES AND SHOVES BOX OF BROWNIES, COOKIES AND OREOS* You’ll be fine, Lupine kitty!

    • I get the feeling. I went to Middle School for the first time last year. I was terrified at first, but then I found out I enjoyed it much more than Elementary. Coming from a girl who is very sensitive on emotions, it is okay to cry sometimes. Being in touch with your friends is one way to make Summer Vacation easier and the first year of Middle School. I was terrified what was gonna happen in my first year, but to be honest, I made some good friends, survived, and learned more than what I could ever learn in an Elementary classroom. Hope it helps, Lupine! Hugs!

    • I understand. You’ll remember the old friends, and you’ll find some new ones. I remember when I left Elementary school, and leaving an old teacher behind years later. Friends look out for one another, and I’m sure your new friends as well as old ones will stick out for you. Who knows? You may come across an old friend again in a few years time in public, or maybe you’ll still be in touch. I’m bad at these “talking” things, aren’t I? -Hugs and ice-cream-

    • I know how you feel, I’m also having problems (sad moments) , but I will only leave in 5 weeks.
      Do you have a leavers play? That’s always an emotional moment…. (I will cry at mine)
      Don’t worry you’ll be fine 🙂

    • I felt the same way when leaving elementary school! It’s sad, yeah, but don’t worry too much! I’m sure you’ll make lots of new friends and have a great time 🙂 And you can always go back and visit!

    • Good luck in middle school! I know it’s tough to go to a new school, trust me, I was in tears on the last day of school cause I loved 8th and didn’t want to go to. It takes time to get used to it, but you’ll enjoy middle school. Anyways, you can go back and visit the teachers occasionally! That’s what I plan to do.

      *hugs*

  • Okay, I need some hugs for some people in my community. Earlier this week, a 14 year old boy that went to my school district died in an ATV accident. Almost all of my teachers knew him and have been in full blown grief ever since we found out. I have found them crying sometimes (even the ones that are usually happy all the time). I didn’t know him, but the grief my friends experienced caused me to cry in a couple classes. The Concert Choir at my school dedicated one of their concert songs in his memory (Flashlight by Jessie J) which sent the entire audience to tears. Some people I do know are really hurting though. A boy in my little sister’s class is his cousin and misses him very much. So some hugs would be crazy awesome. 🙁

  • What happened in Orlando is devastating. Please pray for the family members/friends of the lost loved ones. Today is a sad day for America. *hugs* It only reminds us that we need to stay strong and united and fight for equality. Love is love. 🙂 (Did you know transgender people can’t join the military? And that many gay man aren’t allowed to donate blood? And there is nothing legally stopping LGBT discrimination in the workplace?) One day we’ll win against the hate and the violence and the prejudice. 🙂

    Also, this might not be the right time or the right place to mention this, but since the man who killed those 50 people was Muslim, I wanted to remind everyone that someone’s faith does not define them and should not be used to explain their actions. Religion may be someone’s /excuse/ for violence, but it is never actually the cause. (Did that make sense? I’m worried I worded that wrong.) With the rise in Islamophobia and xenophobia I’m just worried about the future and America’s stance on immigration, religious tolerance, etc.

    I guess overall I just wanted to offer my condolences for anyone impacted by this tragic event, and spread love and peace and equality for everyone, no matter their sexuality or religion or whatever else people use to discriminate. I’m going to a candlelight vigil tonight or tomorrow. 🙂

    • I agree, Sunny. A couple of my friends are bisexual and I have had to stand up for them too. I hope one day we can find freedom. Huggles for anyone who has been discriminated or lost someone in the Orlando Shooting.

    • And I was just about to post something on it. 😛

      Agreed. Everything you said is so true, Sunny. <3 And everyone impacted is definitely in my prayers. 🙁

      (It's sad, isn't it? They're all just people, and it's kinda stupid they're discriminated against for loving someone. 🙁 )

    • I feel so sad for everyone who died and their families. 🙁 I believe that no one deserves to die like that. I’ll be praying for them and lots of people here, too! *huggles*

    • My mom was near in tears when she heard about the shooting. Sad day for America. In America we re all about freedom, and it just seems wrong when you think of all the discrimination that happens against people who act, or believe different things. What we believe does not define us, and you shouldn’t be stereotypical about different religions, or any group of people.

    • Thank you for posting this Sunny, everything said here is very true. It is devastating what happened and I will keep all the people who died as well as their grieving families in my thoughts and prayers.

      It’s so awful that people are discriminated. I really hope one day all this terrorism and discrimintaion will stop… 🙁

      Reply

    • I agree wholeheartedly. All this discrimination and violence is absolutely terrible. At my school, the (now former) eighth graders had to recite a poem that they wrote for their peers and us (former) seventh graders and this one person, I’ll call him Goldenleap, said right then and there that he’s transgender and wanted people to call him by a different name. I would hate to see him and others shot because of the stupid thing called prejudice.

      Reply

    • <3 I think that transgender people should be allowed to join the military. I agree with you Sunny. THank you Sunny, for talking about this <3

    • It’s just. The most. Awful. Thing. I can’t even express…

      I am sending thoughts and prayers to those affected. I… I can’t… There’s no words. Why is the world becoming so awful like this?

      As a Muslim, I of course agree with you. There is no religion that would justify anything like that.

      Thanks for saying that, Sunny <3

    • I 100% agree with you sunny. Thank you for saying this. It means alot to all of us. My thoughts and prayers are being sent to those who were affected. I was also wondering if anyone knows how those not in America can help?

    • I feel so horrible for everyone who died and their poor families 🙁 All this hatred is just absolutely horrible. Nobody should discriminate against anyone because of who they love or what their religion is. I totally agree, Sunny. This whole matter is just terrible 🙁

  • I suppost most of you have heard about Cecil the lion? Well he was a lion who lived at a zoo, and he had Cubs, and he he was cute and adorable. Now, you are probably wondering why I said was. Well, he was killed, for trophy hunting. Three this dentist guy, I think his name starts with a w? But anyway, he paid the zoo a lot of money so the would lure the lion out, and BAM he shot him. Now of course people including myself are quite outraged, as you see, lions are a protected species, and this guy, is not even being sued or anything for this. He just has this once magestic and beautiful creature slaughtered like a prize, up on his mantle or something. Cecil will not go unremembered!

  • I’m starting to hate technology and social media.

    I mean, I love it, of course, and it’s amazing, but it’s beginning to be too much.

    For my school, we have a technology program and so for most (if not all) classes, you’ll need a device. And you’ll need the Internet for homework. And it’s WAY too easy to “just check” YouTube or Facebook– or BlogClan. I’ve been staying up later to start/finish homework because I’m not mentally strong enough to resist the call of the Internet.

    And when I close my laptop, there’s my phone right beside me! It’s even worse. So many apps that need checking…

    And of course I never get outside and I’m barely active and online messaging causes a lot more problems than actually talking and allllll of that stuff. (I legit sit in a chair all day. Walk from one chair to the next. It’s really pathetic and I need something else to do.)

    But I can’t just cold-turkey-drop-everything! I mean, technology! This is the reality of the world now, guys, and I’m just going to have to learn how to manage myself.

    This was more of a really long complaint, sorry. I dunno, I just need to get myself together and I guess the best place to start was getting that ^^ off my chest.

    Reply

    • I totally understand how you feel. I’ve been kind of struggling with this lately too, because messaging is just creating problems, and I’ve had to stay up late to actually finish homework. What I do nowadays is ban myself from listening to any music with videos while working. I don’t have Facebook, so I can’t identify with you there 😛 I usually put 15 minutes aside every day for BlogClan, unless I’m super duper busy. It can be distracting, though. The thing I struggle with resisting the most is PINTEREST. Pinterest can get really addicting sometimes. Do you go outside at school? You should go outside for, like, half an hour in the evening. Just to take a walk or something. I don’t always go outside in the evening unless I have extra-curriculars; instead, I try to spend time with my family. In fact, family is my key piece of advice. If there’s someone in the house, go work next to them, or ask them to come up where you are. I doubt you’d want to go on Facebook, YouTube, or some sort of messaging thing if they’re around. If you think that your phone is distracting you too much, turn off notifications. Stop messaging on your phone too much. These problems are all stuff that I’ve had to deal with (and I’m kinda still dealing with) but slowly, I’m developing strategies to face the lure of fun time on technology.

      Stonestripe, the best advice I can give you is basically 1) Set a proper time to check Facebook and watch YouTube. I sometimes say that I get 15 minutes of free time after an hour of work, which sometimes works. 2) FAMILY, FAMILY, AND MORE FAMILY. BEST ADVICE I CAN THINK OF. It’s how I stay off Pinterest; think of what might happen if your parents saw you on social media when you were supposed to be working!

      Hopefully stuff gets better, Stony! I don’t really think that was that long- my problems take up the whole page sometimes 😛 If you ever need to get anything off your chest, BlogClan is here for ya!

      • HOW COULD I FORGET PINTEREST IT’S LIKE A DRUG 😛 I actually had to delete it from my phone. And yeah, it’s great advice, I might try it! But my family is really loud and I doubt I could do any work near them. 😛

        Reply

        • Oh yeah 😛 Okay, I get that. Do it right next to, maybe, one person then. Or just turn around so your laptop screen is facing them, and make sure your phone is sitting on the table where your family is or something. Not sure if this’ll work, but it’s an idea 😛

          Reply

    • I know what mean. These things can become so addicting, and I don’t even have a phone. I realize it isn’t the solution for everything, but I actually had my parents just block a couple of fanfic sites because I couldn’t stop spending my whole day on them. You say just one and before you know it, it’s time for bed and you’ve gotten nothing done……grr. As for finding other things to do, sometimes I have to make myself go do something. Like practice my insanely bad rapping outside. Or film crazy videos with my sis. 😛

      Reply

      • Sigh. Yep, agreed. I have a list of things to accomplish in the summer, so hopefully I won’t waste as much time.

        Reply

    • I feel you.

      I spend ALL my time on BlogClan which makes it difficult to manage my time- I HATE using the computer in class yet we need it in almost every class, including art. Luckily in high school we won’t be using computers as much but still…

      *hugs*

      Reply

    • I totally understand, Stonestripe! The temptation to go on BlogClan (or the internet in general) was too much during the school year, and often lead me to get behind in my work. 😛 Even now I wonder if I should be doing other stuff, like reading or writing or hiking or spending time around the house. It’s true that technology has consumed our lives, sometimes for the worst. Whenever I go to a restaurant with my family I demand they put their phones down and actually talk to each other. It’s sad. On my birthday I always make an oath to never use the computer. Last year I spent the entire day in the woods enjoying the natural world. My kind of paradise. 🙂 At the same time, though, it’s nice to be able to connect with people far away and have friends online. <3

      I guess what happens is I spend all my time on the internet, and then later I feel unaccomplished and like I wasted an entire day, week, month on nothing, because this isn't the physical world where you can measure your achievements in a more tangible way. But being happy is the greatest achievement of all. So why worry!!! 😀 (Did that make any sense?)

      Reply

      • Ooh, a birthday in the woods sounds so cool! AND YES. I DO FEEL UNACCOMPLISHED. IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE SUNNY 🙂 Thanks!

        Reply

      • Yeah…. It’s so bitter-sweet how advanced technology has become. I have literally no friends in my neighborhood (I go to a private school) because nobody is ever outside! I wish that I could spend a day in the woods, but I would never be allowed to do that by myself. (and that’s like the whole point) I’ll have to try that birthday oath this year…..

        Reply

        • Sorry! I was planning on doing it, but I had to use the computer to contact friends/family! That sounds so weak, but that’s how I stay in touch with people…. 😛 Even my parents sent me an e-card…… and my orthodontist…. *sighs* TECHNOLOGY…… It’s like people have something against paper! I’ll make sure to go outside for a long time, though. Nature is important to me and that sounds like a really good idea!

  • I know that this isnt a very big problem but I just got my tooth extracted for braces 🙁 Half of my face is numb and its kinda sore. Im also really tired (like im trying really hard not to fall asleep right now) because I had to wake up early but I cant sleep now because im bleeding and stuff. I also didnt have breakfast and I cant eat for 5 hours and im already hungry (I…NEED…FOOD!!) There is also now a big hole in my mouth that shows whenever I open my mouth so…ya…im upset about that…

    Reply

    • I know exactly how you feel. Two of my baby teeth wouldn’t fall out, so I had to get them removed, and they also cut the muscle under my tongue (“it was too short”) and they cut another muscle in my mouth and never told me why. It hurts, I know! Don’t worry, that hole won’t be there for long! *Huggles* Feel better, Ashy! 🙂

      Reply

      • Thanks Sunny I feel better now. I hope you weren’t in too much pain when you went through all the muscle cutting and stuff. There is a big hole in my mouth and it kinda feels weird but at least its not hurting anymore 🙂

        Reply

        • Great, I’m glad you’re better! Teeth do take a few months to come in, but if you’re getting braces, it’s possible that they will attach a chain to your tooth to pull it down. They did that for mine! It wasn’t painful while they took my teeth out and cut some things, but it was after. I learned one thing the hard way: pain medicine used for headaches and fevers is not strong enough after surgery! D:
          But don’t worry, I’m okay now! 🙂

    • Oh, that doesn’t sound fun. *hugs* I guess it’s good that you’ll be getting braces soon, and then you’ll have a nice and orderly set of teeth. 😛
