After lurking around here for the past year and a half, I finally decided to hit the register button.

Hi.

Im really trash at introductions so please bear with me. :)

I sort of just stumbled onto this forum when I was just looking up random things on the web. I eventually read through some posts and was literally overwhelmed by the sheer amount of support shown here. So I bookmarked the website and checked around every once and awhile. Some stories shared by others were relatable to me, some just interesting to learn about. But the support shown by each other is just astonishing, and I want to try to be a part of that.

About me, always the hard part.

I'm 17 years old, a senior in HS. I've shifted quite a bit since middle school in terms of personality. I used to be a lot more secluded (mostly due to a majority of middle school being a social disaster for most people I know, including myself.) But I found my clique freshman year of HS in my german class and pretty much did a face-heel-turn. I'm more talkative, outgoing, and fun(?).

Username wise I sort of just came up with it on a whim. I ended up getting into Naruto again last year (please don't call me out on it. I enjoy it.) and a friend of mine gave me a Konoha Headband. So me, being the "trash" weeb I am, decided to wear it for kicks and giggles. It was pretty fun in all honesty. A friend of a friend also decided to wear his one day, but got called out because he was trying to be like "that one kid with the headband." Me. So yeah, if you want to consider me a "weeb" go ahead. I enjoy Naruto. I may elaborate further on why if this doesn't end up being too long because it has had a significant impact on my life.

What I honestly hope for virtual teen to do for me, is to just give me a stronger support network. Last year was pretty painful for me, as was this summer. I'm having "issues" at home, and more recently, at school with some people I know. And to be honest, it hurts. I shared some of the issues I was having with some friends and one appears to simply nod his head and say "I'm sorry." and another seems to be shoving me away. It's tough on me. But i'm trying my best to stay positive.

Typing this out on my ps3 makes it feel like a mini essay. My PC died recently and I dont know what to do about it. So I apologize about any grammatical errors or weird formatting of the sorts.

I'm not really sure how I'm going to go about this. Whether by blog posts, or just general forum posts. But I want to share my story. How much or how little, I dont know. But I also want to be a part of this wonderful and supportive community.

Thanks.

Welcome Andrew.
That's some impressive writing on a small device. I'll read your stuff.

It's not too difficult to be honest. It's an interesting way to type as it can be slightly laggy.

Thanks for the warm welcome!
