Resistance to change and being unchangeable are miles apart. Resistance to change adds to stability. Too much change too fast can be dangerous. ---

Furthermore, in your other thread you talked about walking 7 hours. Why did you do that? For me is not, as this is what helps me fight my sedentary environment. Yeah I got friends, but IMO friendship will become more of a priority as I get into my junior year of high school. As that is the year I finally get out of the current special ed program I am in. ---

Oh for goodness sake’s you self absorbed, navel gazing twat. When you’re 45 or more, and come to the board with your angsty stuff, perhaps THEN we might lend you an ear. In the meantime, get back to junior school and study hard and aspire to be the MIDDLE-AGED nihilists that the rest of us are. Go away, when come back bring pie AND life experience. ---
