Liam, it's all a part of growing up. Take the high road and ignore them. Don't let them upset you.

Posted: 3/1/05 at 2:19pm

Hi Liam

I think the problem is basically one of age difference. If they're three years older, that means they're moving into young (very young) adulthood. There's quite a bit of difference in the perspective of a 14 year old and a 17 year old. If they're mean to you, you shouldn't hang out with them anyway. Find someone you actually like who likes you back, and go have a good time.

Hopefully they'll fall a lot when they go boarding without you

hey DGrant :) its good to see you!


the 17 to 14 age diifrince isnt the problum in my eyes what i thjink it is is that they arent that cool them self but they have a high ego so they think there better then to go with me and thats why there mean when we are together i think there asmed to be seen with me and i think they just dont like me verry much

Posted: 3/1/05 at 2:30pm

Well, if that's the case, then you shouldn't want to hang out with them anyway

[Liam]

DGrant i want to hang out with them becouse there all i got and someonebetter then no one Updated On: 3/1/05 at 02:31 PM

Liam - although the context is very different, the message is still the same - there's LOT'S of fish in the sea. Don't be afraid to LET someone be a friend to you. The kids that you're involved in theatre with might be a good place to start - at least you know you have something in common.

Beav - my original thought was that they should hit a tree, but then I thought of Sonny and felt bad

aww Liam- I'll go skiing with you!

A sidebar discussion with everybody but Liam if I could.

[Exactly how did Liam, of all the myriad tween posters who take part on this board, become the official mascot and object of enabling around here? I have to say, I am rather dumbfounded. "He's a good kid," everybody decided, "he just can't spell is all." Why doesn't anybody ever say "try harder, Liam, you won't always, in fact you will rarely, be in an environment like this where you aren't even encouraged to try?" And now this. You know, maybe the twins ARE jerks, but it's equally possible that it is about Liam. Let's be real. Let's not just treat Liam like a disabled child who can't handle reality. Somebody has to entertain the possibility that MAYBE the twins just don't like him anymore. People grow up and change. Liam, however, will not if everybody treats him like a china figurine all the time. Why is this board set on Auto-Coddle when it comes to Liam?]

Thank you.

::shrugs:: dunnom but he can still go skiing with me...I'm not 3 years older..

Posted: 3/1/05 at 2:48pm

Namo - frankly, I thought that that's what I said in the first place - they're older and moving on. And then everybody has said for him to move on and find other friends. I don't see the 'coddling' you're seeing at all.

[ I agree, and have often asked Liam to try harder. Occasionally he does come through with a winner. I tend not to participate on the threads like these, because I believe that if ONLY THAT ONE TIME, people should try harder when titling a thread. I feel bad for the kid, because he's doomed to failure unless he gets help, and chooses to apply it. All of this message board posting would be excellent practice for him. ]

Snowboarding is dangerous anyway.

They're jerks. I'm having the same problem. Get new friends, my advice.

Dude.......trust me when I say this. It is better to not be friends with these people than have them torture you physically and mentally. I used to be like you where I was about 13 or so and I IDOLIZED these two or three guys that lived down the street from me that were about 2 grades up from me. I mean, they got all the girls, they were popular, they were athletic, etc. I literally wanted to be them, so I hung out with them a lot at their houses or at mine. But, when we were in public they would pick on me and make me feel like the worst person in existance. I finally came to realize that I did not want to be them if that was how they treated a "Friend" and I no longer wanted to be around them. Eventually, I started to see them less and less until I hardly ever saw them, except for at church or wherever. Yes, I was alone but I was happy. I didn't have anyone making me feel like crap or hitting on me. A part of me still wanted to be friends with them but it really wasn't worth it. Soon after I started becoming friends with people my own age and they were what true friends should be. I know this is long winded but it really isn't worth it with the turmoil they are putting you through. Time changes and well as people. Love ya, man and I hope everything turns out great for you.

Aww! this makes me sad! You should just go get real friends! people like that don't need friends who treat them with respect and they abuse it!

I love Namo.

Each and everytime someone attempts to defend Liam with the type of comments that: He has a disablitity; he can't spell; that's the way he is; he's only a youngster....each and everytime, in my opinion, a disservice is done to Liam. Those are the comments of enablers. Accepting and enabling the poor spelling to continue rather than encouraging him to work on improving.

[spiderdj82]

Posted: 3/1/05 at 5:20pm

Well, we have threads that you can state something like that, but I don't think this is the right thread.

[jacobtsf]

Posted: 3/1/05 at 5:21pm

My story is the same as Spider's so I won't waste bandwith telling you it.

Posted: 3/1/05 at 5:25pm

Etoile - I agree with you - and I spend a fair amount of time in PMs trying to work on those things with him. In the general forum, however, there is such an outpouring of negativity at times concerning him, that I just concentrate on uplifting and generalized comments. Hell, in the general board, it's still up in the air for some people whether or not he's even 'real' - and they have no compunction about saying so. But don't think that Liam isn't being interacted with to try to get him moving in a forward direction. I know that, at least from my perspective, he is.

[spiderdj82]

Posted: 3/1/05 at 5:27pm

I agree. While he still mispells a lot of words, I see an improvement from when he first started posting. I am proud of him.

"Those are the comments of enablers. Accepting and enabling the poor spelling to continue rather than encouraging him to work on improving."

He's feeling low. People are just trying to cheer him up, not pick on his spelling. Why should we kick the kid when he's down?

[etoile]

Posted: 3/1/05 at 5:32pm

Who is kicking anyone? I'm commenting on the comments made by Namo.
