The Truth - Page 2

Thank you, Do Right, nope, never requested a CD...was it Rap? I think you said you used to be a rapper, right? I would enjoy a CD if you still have one available?

Nope about using "Mommy's" account, she never registered. Heck she never even took an intrest in Shepherds, only those silly, overly-happy Golden Retrievers She didn't like the Shepherds because I always said, "I'd rather take a dog that has good and bad days instead of a dog who believes the world's sugar coated." I mean that too! If I ever do find myself in a better situation, I surely will be wanting another workingline girl to start my pack.

Thanks again, all!

Krista,

I always gussed you were young, off by a bit but what the heck.  Keep learning and sharing.  You are very articulate and express yourself better then many.  You have a very good goal of becoming an english teacher, stick with it.  Good luck with your future.

Krista,

You are an inspiration, I feel for you. Stay strong, you may be young in years but very wise and honest. I hope that life gets better for you soon.

Krista,

Here is a qoute from one of my favorites.  It sums up our situation as humans being human.  The best to you.

Fate rules the affairs of mankind with no recognizable order.

Seneca

Good luck to you and God bless you, Krista.

I just wanted to add that there are many reasons for not disclosing your full name and identity on a public website. Among them are vengeful ex-spouses and nutcase stalkers seeking to do someone harm. The wives of LEOs may also want to keep a low profile. Physical safety is more important than maintaining some notion of integrity in many cases. Young people (children and teenagers) are at risk on the 'Net from predators and are wise not to disclose too much about themselves. JMO, but I have experience in this area and I'm sticking to my opinion.

 Sam,

Just to clarify....when I talk about integrity on line, I am not suggesting one disclose a lot of personal information if one is a child. Even some adults don't feel comfortable doing so. But that is not the integrity that I was speaking of here. Misleading people is what I was talking about. And, for what it is worth, many people have a tough life, for a variety of reasons, including abusive and neglectful childhoods and still find a way to come through it and maintain their integrity. It is not easy to do, but it can be done.

Hodie,
I came clean, I told the truth, there is nothing more I can do.

I don't need your approval, I am who I am, and if it bothers you, I'm truly sorry, but I can't say I don't miss being treated like an adult.

To those wonderful people that sent me their PM's or Email's about their own trials in life, and how they made it through, your letters were beautiful to me. They were comforting to feel that I wasn't alone. They also reminded me how evil the world is, there is still some good left in it. You people who were so sweet and kind hearted, you are the good left in the world. Thank you so much for showing me that.

I would also wish to give a "shout out" of appology to "K" with her dog "Killer" that you continuing to stand by me was more than I could ever ask for...you embody the true meaning of friends and sisters.

Thank you all again,

Krista

Fair enough, Hodie. I am now clearer on what you meant. I agree there are too many unethical people selling and breeding dogs and other animals.

 Krista,

Just to be clear, I don't seek your approval and no, I am not bothered by who or what you are because I don't know who or what you are. You were not upfront here and that was, in my opinion, not a good thing.

However, I have a different perspective than all who would coddle you. I experienced my childhood in an incredibly abusive situation. I won't go into details, but it probably far surpasses what most abused children endure. None the less, I found a way through it and have integrity and am an honorable person. When life is tough, in whatever sense, it is all too easy to sit back and blame everything and every one, when, in fact, YOU are the only one who can make of your life what you intend it to be. So if you need help getting over incidents that have occurred in your life, then seek that help and make good use of it. But give some consideration to finding the inner strength that we all possess. It is, in the end, what will see you through. Being up front with people, regardless of your age, or knowledge, is an important part of life.

Good luck.

I'm sure not all of you guys read the bible, but I do think this scripture would apply well here to you, and others like us on this board that are younger.     In 1st Timothy 4: 12 it says :   Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe.
