&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspOkay, I've been down in Oregon for about two weeks now and I just came back yesterday afternoon so I'm still feeling weird coming back to these surroundings because Portland really is like my other home. But I'm happy to be back here becaue now I can actually talk to my friends down here! But I'm having trouble getting ahold of a bunch of them *Cries*. [br] &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspWell, the end of the Summer is coming soon and you know what that means. And no, I'm not just talking about school, but about me having this conversation.... Well, I've consulted several people and there's just one little problem: If they say no then I'm out on the streets and if I die out there on the streets then it's not going to be just me that'll be affected. So the big question is, "What am I supposed to do if the alternative to them saying no is for me to be put out on the streets and I can't go onto the streets?" [br] &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspWell, it sounds to me like I need a place to stay. "What's the problem there?" you ask. I mean, after all, you have several friends that would be happy to help you out and maybe house you. The problem there is that I can't have myself burdening my friends. At this age, for most life sucks. That is the simple fact of life that my mother was sure to illustrate last night. I'm not about to make it any more stressful for them just because I've got issues. So, the plan (Which unfortunately this time has loopholes and is not bulletproof) is to tell them what my original plans were for this conversation and to ask them what the Hell I should do. Maybe then they'll gain some perspective instead of treating me like some ******** melodramatic teenager fueled by hormones and instead somebody with some legit. concerns. What do you think? [br] &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspHowever, you might've seen through the planning there. What if, in all of their think-headedness, they decide that they're not going to agree to compromise, gain perspective, and/or change a couple of things? What then? Well then, because it's simply not much of an option to due to a poor effect on other people's minds who are close to me, I can't just leave out on the streets. So, I have nowhere to go....
