After everything I've read [and I did read everything] I've come to the conclusion that we all just need to back off a bit. First of all, I agree with Ali and Julia and Cassie and Erin and anyone else who says that you shouldn't be worrying about such adult matters at this age. Certainly, you can be mature, but even I shouldn't be in love, and I'm 17. Even I shouldn't be tying myself down so tight that moving would rip my life apart, and I've moved practically every year of my life until I was 14. Life is too short to worry about such trivial matters. But on the other hand, I do agree with you, that your life is your own to live, and you shouldn't take advice if you don't want it. If you really enjoy being with your boyfriend, then don't let other people's opinions harm you. If you really hate your move, that's ok, but you have to get over it. You're too young for your own choices yet, even I am, and so you have to follow your parents. It hurts sometimes, but it'll teach you a lot about life. When you're 18, then you can move wherever you want, and make as many friends as you want, and you'll never have to leave them. But in order for that freedom, you have to suck it in and get past these barriers. I'm certain you can do it. Especially if you're mature for your age, then you'll definatly be able to overcome these hurdles. Just be careful when you say something. You brought up Yam's dark side, and that upset many people who are Yam's friends. They read only what you had written, not the intent you used to write it, and so they took a bit of offense. This is no one's fault. It's called miscommunication. It happens all the time. And threatening to cut yourself at your age startled people, so their first reaction was to lecture you. Using a quote from one of my favorite movies: 'You are the one in the wrong, but you've got to remember that everyone else is looking from the gallery. None of these people have ever been in your shoes.' Just use your best judgement, and keep a cool head. You'll do fine as long as you think fully about the consequences of your actions and words. That's one of the hardest lessons we learn as humans. *hugs for everyone*
