Hi Sammie, welcome. I'm a newbie, too. Hope your friend pulls through.

And a good sermon it was. I love school. She says she hates it because she doesn't really need it. I mean, she knows she needs some of it, but I personally think she has the mentality of a 20 year old. She's too smart for high school, Lol. She's so serious abuot everything. I also know that one thing that gets on her nerves the most is people who are ignorant.

Hi, MDR here. I don't usually say hello to newbies (A VERY bad habit i'm trying to fix) so hello(and hello to everyone else i forgot)! It's good to hear that ECF is doing better, and I hope progress satys positive.

Wow, there's more people on this board than I thought. It looked like very few people were coming. Pretty kool.

Shotgun, I think that would be a great book for her. She likes to read things like that. Although I know it upsets her to a certain point because I know she feels lousy. If she's not out by christmas, I can see if I can get it for her, which she probably won't be out by then. Or maybe just a gift saying "I love you" I did get small word from her older sister on her.. And I'm hoping that complete resistance is a sign of a strong and stubborn person. Because that's what she is doing. It good that she is strong enough to resist care, but bad because I know her VERY well... well enough to know she isn't healthy.. Almost like we have a twin connection, if she didn't take meds and eat at home.. I honestly doubt she's doing it for complete strangers.

Yoro(I can call you that right?)Our school isn't a bad school and we aren't workoholics. Very forgiving. If you fail a class, you simply take it in night school. Although my school only has about 2500 kids, it's hard to keep up with. I don't know if anyone heard, but recently, 4 kids were arrested for making bombs and setting them off in the cafeteria.

Me personally, I'm not going to throw any opinion on the country, I'm an individual and I don't follow others. Whitney.. I don't really know what she believes in.. She's tried everything in searching for the "right" thing. She's against government (it's VERY obvious), along with any other authority besides herself. I know she likes voodoo, witchcraft, and spirits. Since well.. she's got spirits in her house. It's really strange. So it's not just her "parents" that scare people away.
