IM SORRY, BUT THIS HAS GONE A LITTLE TOO FAR... I SIT BACK AND
READ THESE MESSAGES EVERYDAY, AND HAVE NEVER POSTED ONE. WELL,
ITS TIME NOW I GUESS.

I GOTTA GIVE PROPS TO THE PEOPLE WHO USE THIS MESSAGE BOARD TO
MEET NEW PEOPLE AND TO TALK ABOUT UP AND COMING PARTIES OR
WHATEVER, BUT EVERYONE WHO JUST USES THIS TO VENT (WHICH KIND OF
HYPOCRITICALLY I AM RIGHT NOW, AND I APOLOGIZE) NEED TO SIT BACK
AND THINK.

ACCEPTING PEOPLE:
I ACCEPT EVERYONE. YEAH, YEAH, THAT MIGHT SOUND LIKE BS... BUT
IN MY CASE, ITS TRUE. YOU HAVE TO REALIZE THAT EVERYONE COMES
FROM DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS AND THOSE THAT GOES TO PARTIES ARE
THERE FOR THE SAME REASON. ACCEPTANCE.

THERE ARE A LOT OF DRUGS IN THIS SCENE, TRUE. SOME KIDS OUT
THERE DO THEM TO MAKE THEM FEEL BETTER, THEY MAY COME FROM A
MESSED UP FAMILY AND NEED TO ESCAPE. THIS ISNT THE BEST WAY TO
ESCAPE, BUT IT WORKS FOR THEM. OTHERS DO THEM BECAUSE THEY WANT
TO FIT IN...THEY DONT UNDERSTAND THAT JUST BEING THEMSELVES WILL
FIT THEM IN. IT IS A PERSONAL CHOICE. LIKE I SAID, EVERYONE
COMES FROM DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS.

I AM ASKING ONE THING FROM EVERYONE THAT READS THIS. PLEASE
OPEN YOUR MINDS AND YOUR HEARTS WHEN YOU ARE AT PARTIES. YOU
CAN ACT HOWEVER YOU WANT OTHERWISE, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO PARTIES
THEMSELVES, OR THE PEOPLE THAT ATTEND THEM, DISREGARD EVERYTHING
ELSE AND BE A TRUE PERSON.

THE EMAIL ABOVE IS MY REAL EMAIL ADDRESS. I WANT TO HEAR
PEOPLES COMMENTS. GOOD OR BAD. EMAIL ME OR JUST POST A REPLY.

THANK YOU.
