Hey Jena.

Firstly, thank you for responding with such levels of kindness and understanding. It's something I've come to respect, appreciate and admire about you :).

We certainly would never say anything about someone we didn't feel or think. I totally understand about how you feel regards positive comments. Sometimes when people feel they don't deserve any, or start to believe they're not worth any, they really do take them badly sometimes it's no doubt, because they don't want people telling tme what feels like lies or something they haven't earned, or don't deserve.

It is a truly amazing achievement, that for someone of your age, you have as stated survived suicides, cutting and been able to find the sheer heart, courage and emotional fortitude to be able to talk to us about it. You really, really can be so proud of being able to be here now, posting these things.

You speak so eloquently from the heart and you're a very intelligent writer and very emotionally expressive. I couldn't be crass enough, as to claim I know what the heartaches and tribulations you have lived through feel like, because I've never lived them, nor known anyone that has.

So I can only imagine how your life has progressed, but I can empathise with you, because you make difficult things easy to understnad, by expressing them beautifully and I htink the time is coming, when your life can finally start to feel, like the life of what you would consider a normal person, because your attitude and behaviour shows the qualities of a Lady and shows very rational responses and high levels of social awareness.

So I think the next phase of your life will be a lot more rewarding, enriching and something that you can continue to be proud of.

You're half age, but I am in no doubt whatsoever, that by the time you're age, you will be a more fully rounded, more 3-dimensional, more accomplished person, mentally, emotionally and physically.

Your words, responses and warm, expressive people skills do you so much credit and show me that there is a brighter future for a young "Lady", that I think has truly earned that life and certainly i this site and this community can continue to show you the same respect, belief, honesty and acceptance, you have shown us, you can certainly continue to help you make more positive strides forward in your life.

Just keep believing in yourself, be understanding with yourself and learn from mistakes and keep remembering you're human and that's okay. You'll doubt, question and criticse yourself sometiems, but when you ask the question "am I worth the time and effort I give myself", the answer should always be a resounding YES every time.

You're worth the time and effort and you are a million miles away from being worthless. You have proven through your words, what value and worth you have and it's a lot, it really is. I've come across people that have less than a tenth of the qualities you have. People that are horrible, cold, liers, decievers and basically loathsome and despisable people, in real life and portrayed through the media, so I know the difference between that sort of person and the person you are.

I can say, that as a community, we will look out for you and try to give you as much support as we can, for as long as you'll let us. We ARE here for you and we DO care :).

You're someone who has a really, really bright future ahead of yourself and you are a really intelligent, human and inspiring young Lady, who has overcome some very difficult problems and never become nasty, bitter or resentful about how life seemingly kicked you down to the ground a lot, you've just come through it with some strength, courage and heart and a lot of warmth and emotion to give.

So YES!!!! I AM VERY, VERY PROUD OF YOU and I think you're an absolutely fantastic person and I am going to say something you may never have heard or read before, but you ARE a rolemodel. You've shown people what can be done when life looks bleak, when everything seems lost. You've shown people how to live again and live with a lot of positivity to others of that personality type.

So I completely understand you're not used to, or feel perculiar about positive comments to you, but trust me, they will happen more in the future, because I know you WILL deserve them.

We are right behind you and I'm wishing you a lot of GOOD LUCK and best wishes for the future.

This is the start of your new life, this is where finally you find a lot of the happiness life stole from you. Granted it will be hard, but I'm 10,000% confident you CAN and WILL be strong and capable enough, to change your life even more positively than you already have.

WELL DONE again, for getting this far in life and being you. It's a very tough but also inspiring story and maybe many years from now, you may one day find a way to make a book out of it, to help and inspire others that may become like you were.

Not trying to freak you out or anything like that, but with your expressive writing skills and intellect, it could be a thought for the future at some point :).

Boss Man,

Thank you once again for your kind and encouraging words, I don't think you really know what it means to me to hear someone talk about ME in a positive light. I've always been the person ytha advocates and encourages others, it kills me every time I hear of someone wanting to do something that i know will only cause pain and hurt, so I try best to be the kind of person I wish I had for myself. I've always been the girl that is strong for everyone, the one that will sit and listen, and let someone cry if they need to, hug them if they need it, and give them advice or talk something through if they need it. However, at the same time I feel like I just want snap and cry until I can't any longer just because I felt so alone and so miserable and so hurt. Over the years, thankfully, I've learned to be strong for myself and I've definitely built walls as a way of saying "You weren't there for me before, no one was, and I don't need anyone now." But the thing is, I need people in life and close to me more than ever. I've gotten better with living life and being able to get more out of it than tear stains on pillowcases, bloodstains on sheets, and scars on heart. However, I just want to thank you for caring, there aren't terribly many people in the world that do.

You think I'm a good writer? I guess I am, but I know that I could definitely be better. Writing is a talent for me, yes, but there are many things about writing that I want to improve. However, thank you for the vote on confidence and the compliment. I really hope that in the future, I can do something with words to help people that are going through the horrible things I have. And sadly enough, what I've told you guys is only the tip of the iceberg of the things that I've somehow survived.

Thank you again, you make me think and you make me feel. I'm not sure exactly what emotions they are, but I quite enjoy them.

Jena. : )

P.S. Please pardon any typos, grammar errors, or misspellings. I used phone to write this reply and when I type on phone, since the buttons for key board are so small, I end up making mistakes without even realising it. : /

You have no need to ask for a pardon about anything where I am concerned. I think I would be being rude and discourteous to a Lady, if I accepted unnecessary apologies, so I must politely decline.

The main thing is that you have managed to change yourself and challenge what you felt about yourself.

If there are scars on your Heart, they certainly have not affected your ability to express yourself and care for others. It is a remarkable story and one I am honestly and genuinely thankful for you sharing, because it teaches others, including myself, more about people in this world who's personalites and behaviour, may be largely hidden away or innacessible, making them difficult to understand or recognise as people.

There is just so much to like about you and so much to admire about you and whatever your future holds, this community will always care about and support people like you, because it doesn't matter who you are, as long as you respect us, we'll reach out to you and keep reaching out for as long as you wish.

You're one of us now and we WILL try to do our best to look out for you and help you develop your future in a positive way :).

So chin up and best wishes :).

Thanks again. I would try to write something longer for you, but I know that it doesn't matter how much you write, it's what you say. So, truly, Thank you. :]
