Geez that hurts

[i_am_me]

Wow. I never thought that a website could make me cry. Well...I'm not crying but I feel like it.

 

I thought ENA was always so cool and that I could get good advice. I've come to realize that only about 1 in every 5 replies to your question is an answer that is worth reading.

People are so mean and closed minded here. I mean think about it. Has there been one time when someone has written a post and NOT had someone else reply something mean, or rude, or a lecture, or an answer that has nothing, whatsoever, to do with the question??

 

God I might has well have gone to a church to get advice.

 

 

I'm not saying that all people on here are like that. A lot of you give good, useful advice...so thank you.

 

Just b/c I'm 16 I can't give good advice? I've done and been through a lot in my life. I'm not stupid. Age is just a number. You can have really smart 5 year olds, and not-so-smart 50 year olds.

 

Just an observation.

well I would welcome any advice from anyone on here...and I just take some with a grain of salt...

At 16, I thought I knew everything, and had a very different outlook on life.(Like Most 16 year olds do.)

 

I read your responses to the other thread, and that may be your opinion, and that's fine. But I am pretty sure 5-10 years from now when you have more experience in life/relationships if someone asked you that question, your answer would be different.

 

You are entitled to your opinion. I don't think anyone wanted to make you almost cry. You may be a smart girl, but at 16, you can't be that experienced in relationships. ..and that is fine. You are just starting and learning.

I'm sorry you felt hurt by someone's response to your advice.

 

Being 16 does not automatically equate to giving bad advice- but also does not mean you will always give great advice.

 

Sometimes people feel very strongly about a particular topic and so opposing advice is not always well received. But so long as we are respectful we are certainly allowed to disagree.

i'm not going to speculate cause of your age, but it is the basis that some of your posts were not helpful to others. some people picked up on it being that you are young. post all you want. whoever wants to read it and take the advice into account is up to them. don't take anything to heart sweetie. i mean, it IS the internet. you don't owe anybody on here and explanation for anything. let the people that bash you or disregard your advice be the bad guys. don't let it get to you.

[i_am_me]

Ight thanks. Makes enough sense. It just sucks...why would someone say "she's 16 all advice is bad advice"? Gee that's a little prejudiced. I don't take what most people say to heart. Especially people I don't know. But that remark was pointed toward every 16 year old. Not just me. And that is NOT right.

[shikashika]

What is it that made you upset?

 

i'm sure you know, that many people are going to have very different opinoins... and some of them feel very strongly about their opinions..

 

although there are some smart 5 year olds out there, I'm certainly not going to go to someone that age for any kind of life advice!! ha ha!

I think I read the thread you were talking about.

 

I think everyone has a right to their opinion, and no one should say someone else's opinon is not worth listening to.

 

I do see, however, why someone would make a comment like tha. Although I remember back when I was 16 and how I thought, and I think of how I view the world today... and it is very different.

 

I didn't know anything then like i do today,just because of my life experiences. however, when i was 16, I thought i knew a lot... ha ha!

 

I'm sure when i'm 60, I'll think I didn't know much at 30, just like at 30, i realise now, I didnt' know much at 16.

you will encounter different personalities, opinions, big-heads, pig-heads, etc. for the rest of your life. don't even let it stress you out or seem to put you down.
