    Sad... but your daughter still loves you.

    Jeannie hun I know how hard it is sometimes, to try and accept that our children have changed before our very eyes. And we want to do so much to stop it, or stop their pain but we can't.

    Your girl will always be the same little girl she always was deep down, but sometimes people need to venture out and find themselves. Even if it does mean feeling pain or creating it. We seem to hurt those we love the most, why I really don't know ...I guess we know they will never leave us and will always love us no matter what we do.

    Angel Bug will find herself, and find the true happiness that lays within, deary...it may just take some time.

    Believe in her Jeannie for she is a very special girl. If I am reading correctly as of who this poem is about....have faith Jeannie for she is a wonderful girl with a heart of magic.
    Just a lost soul wandering until she find her special place in life, where she will fit in.
    My prayers are forever with you Jeannie and your Angel bug
    Much love, Luanne

    Yeah, well, wow, i dont even know what to say about this poem, it is just...so...good...i love the poem but the point to it is sad and im relle srry about that, but i have grown away from my parents too, mostly my mom tho, cuz i dont talk to my dad, long story i dont wanna tlak about it but anyways i have grown apart from my mom but we spend some time together but i have changed alot in the last 3 years && my mom is just gonn have to deal with it cuz this is who i am, im alot like ur daughter, im dark, almost all i wear is black, and i have miles && miles of fake smiles, but my mom understands most of the time why im like this cuz of my dad and everything and all the other things i have been threw, last year i was caught in school tring to kill myself, (i was carring a razor around school cuz i had been into cutting my wrists and thighs and upper arns) but i got suspended for that and my mom doesnt even think of me in the same way that she used to, i think im a screw up cuz of that and i smoke pot and alot of other things like i write poems about suicide and stuff like that (i dont put those poems on here tho cuz i dont want people to know how i really feel about my life) but anyways again, just try to spend time with her, but dont like push and shove and dont really make her do it just try to liek get her home alone with you && talk to her and if she goes up to her room and shuts the door make her a snack or something OR take her to a movie or a concert that would be fun and she would love you to death lol, but even if you dont like the kind of music if you go to a concert, atleaast ur spending time with her, right? well im on the phone right now so i goess im gonna stop typing, lol

    I am a teenager and as one i must say that all ur daughter wants is to be loved. tell her u love her andsit down for an intervention. let her yell and hold her as she cries. ask her wut is truley bothering her, and prmoise u wont judge her. when she says she hates u wut she really means is "im so miserable i wanna blame you. HELP ME." she wants u to bud into her life rite now and show u care. dont take no for an answer no matter how much it seems to be hurting her. teach her how to love herself and take her under ur wing. she may yell, but she appreciates it. trust me...as for the poem, it was amazing and had great metaphors. i loved the ending and how u started off each stanza,
    great job,
    love ya lots,

    I have a sugestion to help her. Try dressesing as she does and wear make up as she does. It could make her see what she looks like to you. Beleive me it worked with me and my mom! anyway, you should try it.
    Praying for you allways!

    The best you can do is just love her until she realizes its okay to love herself. i am a teenager, and i know from experiance that sometimes it seems better to just let yourself be invisable. thats what the black is for. her wild attitude could just be because she doesnt know how to protect herself, besides making herself numb to the pain. but, like i said, the only thing you can do is love her.
