    that's funny when you said my post should be sent to Oprah. HA! I'd be way too shy to show my face! Thank you for saying so strongly that I should send my post to the media. I would very much like to, but, well, let me explain. The media doesn't like talking about mentally ill people. If they do it's like, "a deranged man shot up a courthouse" or "police had a violent standoff with a mentally ill woman last night" then parents hear these stories and teach their children, "see? that's why you should stay away from nuts'os." That's where stigma starts. When a story concerning a mentally ill person is broadcasted it's always some violent thing. It's like the media is telling its viewers, "watch out for yourself today! Talk to your children! Teach them to stay away from the lady that talks to herself on the train! There's some real nuts'os in this world!" I'm not saying people should be careful when they're walking down the street or on the train alone, but to put that label of "oh, they're violent" on every mentally ill person they come into contact with is wrong, very wrong, and I don't know if the media knows they do this. It's like they're perpetuating the stigma all over again. But I'm not one to tell them. They want to stear clear from any mental health issue, I think, that would be benneficial. If they talk about schizophrenia, it's for a quick second. If they talk about a suicide, it's for two seconds exactly. I know they don't like to dwell on a suicide story 'cause it's like bringing glorification to that art and the deceased person, but they should broadcast it, spend a little more time on it. These people had real issues that go deeper than "I can't decide what to wear today or what shall I put on my bagel". We need to be praying for their families. Why they took their lives needs to be examined more. Was there anything society could've done? Did society even care this person had problems? Was the person being constantly ignored? I think a suicide of someone who was extremely disturbed should spend as much time in the media spotlight for the reasons of educating people on mental illness, not scaring them, as the drooling over what sex Angelina Jolie's silver-spoon-in-the-mouth babies are going to be. Such a materialistic and harsh, un-sympathetic world! Now do you understand why I want to leave? I like teenagers, and a lot is said about mental health and kids, but the media needs to wake up and say "There are adults, single, anti-social, whatever, that are going through the same thing a teenager would go through. Let's talk about that" See it's like I've always said, one you turn 18, people don't care about you anymore. There are some agencies that care for adults with problems, but like, where I live, it's so few. And I'm well advanced over the programs that they do have. There are lots of places that care for disabled kids but I think not enough is done for them once they reach adulthood. I hate that. Like I said, when you're a kid, it's like "aww. you're precious." But when you get to be an adult it's like, "get a job, you bum!" Now, I wish I was all innocent teetering in my walker again. There's a lot more I can say, like about the media's obsession of autism as the only neurological disorder out there, and why they seem to like to always focus on the children, not adults, but I'm tired. I spent all day on the computer today. Now, I hate to say this, but it's time to watch the news. I'm addicted.

    tuesday may 13th. but I hope I don't get the job! I've already apologized to God for trying too hard to act normal, to be someone I'm not. When I get around with myself I see I'm not ready for a job, that writing is all I can handle. But my parents can't see that. They want me to do more, so I act normal to please them. But I'm only hurting myself. I crumbled last night. And on top of that, if I get the job I've got to live with my parents and constantly listen to their lectures on who I should be when I'm trying my best to be the right person for myself? It's like with them, they won't accept an "ordinary" Samantha. They want me to be EXTRAordinary! I can't win. I should've been adopted by parents who wouldn't force me or push me to be someone I wasn't, that would've been just content with the kind of girl I was.

    sometimes I think it would be better to skip the extra few years of struggle and go staraight to hell, but then again, that doesn't make any sense to me.
