    I think a lot of people have gone out of their way to offer you decent advice on this topic and you are choosing to dwell on the few negative comments. I don't know what you expected when you start a thread off with a threat. Asking advice means you are willing to hear it all, whether you like it or not.

    i sincerely thanked those people. Did you read that post? And there were more than a "few" negative responses. You have no right to tell me how im acting in this situation. This isnt a thread on which member of the band we most identify with. This is a thread literally about MY LIFE. To have others judge me, or to harass me, and belittle me, is an attack on me, and i sincerely believe that.

    If you cant read through an honest post, and follow BASIC SOCIETAL DECENCY, i'd say you really need help, friend

    I've been sitting back quietly, but I must say, this was the most uncalled for post of the day. And when the emotions have settled I hope you have the basic societal decency to apologize.

    so those that took the time to type out nice, thoughtful and caring posts, i honestly thank you and will look over the advice and weigh it. And see how it stacks up with what i feel is right.

    to those who despite my warning, which was not hidden, it was the first couple sentences of the original post, it stuns me people would not only ignore my wishes to be polite and courteous, but also that you all could be so unbelievably cold and unfeeling while doing it. Ive never understood the way forums work, in terms of how despicable people can be, and how they feel like they can say anything, including things that are hurtful and mean, and can go about their lives. What do i know, im just someone who's always been empathtic and sensitive to others and my own feelings.

    Yes, some things are a part of life, and are part of the human experience. That doesnt make them any less real or painful or earth shakingly upsetting. A teen going through the teen experience, is looking for a little more comfort than someone saying "grow up, we all went through it, you are a baby". My experiences are important, and i will not apologize for how i feel, nor my views on art, on work, on graveyard shifts, on any of it. The way i feel about them will not be shaken by the petulance and hardened and crusted over hearts that make up some posters on this thread.

    Rest assured, everyone who has belittled my feelings and made a mockery of my wishes, which were, lets be honest people, not asking a hell of a lot, will be reported to the admins. that is a promise. So proceed at risk. You have now been warned twice. Just stop it.

    If nothing else i deserve common courtesy. That involves heeding my instructions, and that involves not making jokes about me, not putting me down.

    It saddens me that a board, for a band that stands for such powerful things, would draw such a disgusting crowd as this one, with few exceptions.

    I dont know what Ed or the guys would do if they heard my story, or if i sent them the story in e-mail form and they read it. I assume though, going on what i know about the band and the guys, is that they would have been a class act like always. I'd be gobsmacked if Ed or Mike would tell me to Grow up, or that it was just a part of life and i was a baby.

    This has taken a turn for the worst. You tell people you want them to be kind, and then you call them "a disgusting crowd?" Isn't that a bit hypocritical?

    I also worked in a grocery store, for three years (along with another frequent poster here) through high school, in order to save up for college. I think it's safe to say it isn't anybody's dream job. I graduated with a degree in Secondary Education almost one year ago, and it has been almost impossible to find a full-time job. I understand they do not just fall into one's lap. But have I finished my search, just because it has thus far, been fruitless? No. Things take time. Am I bummed that I won't be able to continue teaching next school year because of lay offs? Definitely. But that won't stop someone who has a genuine work ethic and desire to succeed.

    (By the way, I love being able to go out at night, too... I think everyone does. But there are things more important in life, and sometimes you've just "gotta do what you gotta do.")

    There were some very thoughtful suggestions on here, and as others had previously mentioned, it really seems like you are dwelling on the ones you should simply overlook. People who do not know you and probably never will have taken the time out of their lives to offer you advice. You should be thankful for that alone, whether you like what they said or not. For you to tell someone that they must "become familiar with common human decency, it would serve you well" is totally uncalled for. Who are you to judge others, while placing so much emphasis on making sure no one from this forum judges you and your open-book approach to your "life story?"

    And if you think Ed would read this thread and have pity on you, well, let's just leave it at "I disagree."
