Sixteen and feeling "different" from everyone my age?

honestly, we're in the same boat, or were. I'm a reader, pretty sure I'm addicted, in love with writing. I pour myself into my acting, don't really care for shopping or name brands. People at my high school precieve me to be the quiet nerd with her nose in a book. Until this year did I find someone really special. Let's call him Nathan. He's just like me, and gets me, unlike anyone else. Everyone thinks we belong together but that's beyond the point. High school is hard, I agree. I've never been part of "the crowd" but part of "my crowd". I don't really want to be part of a crowd, I just want friends that are similar to myself, but also different. You sound like someone I would love to have as a friend, because to put it short, you sound amazing! And mature. By the way, I'm also 16 and I don't like the hangover or texting.

Do you HAVE to like your parents?

You can love someone and appreciate the things they did for you without liking or respecting them. My mom didn't let me starve but she was certainly never a real mother to me. I'm glad I'm here and she gave birth to me and all, but she has also left a lot of resentment and "scars". So, I don't think you're a bad person for not liking your dad.

Do you like the beginning of my story?

You did a good job on characterization and bringing the feelings of the characters to the readers, but I am not inclined to read any longer. The baby's dead, then what happens? I feel bad for the characters, which is good, but I don't know why I should keep reading, you need to add a bit of suspense to keep the readers interested.

Anemia: do I need a medical bracelet for it?

I have anemia, and im 15. I recently found this out but im a vegetarian, which obviously explains my anemia, and i currently have a medical bracelet for a penecillin allergy. It didn't even occur to me that anemia should be on a medical bracelet, but should it? I have to take iron supplements every day: around 100mg (which is about 7x what 'normal' people have to take). I was just wondering if you have to be a certain "amount" of anemic to get an anemia medical bracelet. Also if I do need to get that engraved on my current one, why? Is it because i have a chance of fainting if my anemia goes untreated, or what? Thanks!

Summer to do list....please help?

Ha, went through the same thing with my old friends a while back...in a few months it won't be a big deal anymore. Do you live in the mountains? Cuz, if so, there must be trails around. GO HIKING! Hiking by yourself can actually be quite peaceful. You could start a channel on youtube and make funny videos or something. Are there any places in walking distance that you could try and get a job at? This may sound lame, but spend time with your fam. You're gonna miss them when you leave for college. Do get clothes for college, but not too many, because dorms are very small. You won't really have room for a ton of clothes anyway. Go swimming maybe. If there is anywhere to go near where you live, go fishing. Walk around town with a video camera, and film people doing weird stuff, or make a documentary of life with your family. You could make a funny short film reenacting the fight you had with your friends and then enter it into a short films contest or something. In college, there is a lot of partying. Idk if you are into that stuff, but just go to the parties. You don't have to drink, I guarantee you will not be the only one there not drinking, and even if you are, it's fun to watch people make fools of themselves. It is a good way to put yourself out there, and meet new people. Plus, most clubs have one night a week where they let 18 year olds and up in, I'm guessing your college friends will want to go. learn to dance if you don't already know how. There are videos on youtube you can watch that will teach you. But don't do that bump and grind stuff. I hope this was helpful!

I am doing poorly in college, and I don't know what to do.?

Try joining a club or organization. An alternative would be switching to a small private school and dorming there! Good luck
