29/08/2010 : It’s a bit of a strange one this but the yesterday my friend walloped her two children right in front of me, now I’m wondering whether to call children’s’ services. She’s got two girls, one 11 and other 13. She’s a single mom and each can be a bit of a handful on their own and they sometimes fight but I’ve never heard of anything too bad. Anyway, yesterday we were having a chat and a coffee in her kitchen and there was some screaming coming from the garden.
Obviously we both jumped straight up and we could see the both the girls coming through the back gate, each of them had hold of the other’s hair. I was quite surprised to see them fighting like this but even more surprising was my friend’s response. She grabbed a small wooden paddle out of the kitchen door, steamed over to them, separated them both and said “I told you two what would happen”, told them to grab their knees and walloped their bottoms ...HARD. I was gobsmacked, dumbfounded – I just couldn’t believe what I was seeing! I’m not used to being around violence it was a bit frightening to be honest.
This was not like just a couple of whacks each, I mean she gave them a damn good hidding – those girls are not going to sit comfortable for a week. There's no way I would paddle a 13 yr old like that, 11 year old maybe but at 13, its too much. When she’d finished walloping them and sent them upstairs crying, I was so embarrassed I just made some excuse and quickly left. Maybe it’s nothing, but I can’t stop thinking about those poor girls and whether I should phone children’s services.
It’s only out of loyalty to my friend that I haven’t yet. She phoned earlier but I let it go to answer machine as I’m too embarrassed. I might try and talk to her but I don’t know what to say? she's a few years older than me and I don’t have children, so she might think I’m interfering in something I don’t understand. Sorry about the essay, I don’t know, maybe it’s nothing and I should forget it happened but it's eating me up wondering what to do.
I don't know what to talk about with people. Topics that could help?

19/05/2010 : My school is segregated by cliques. If someone isn't in your clique, they don't exist. When I first entered high school, I tried to hang out with the band, but it was a tolerance more then an acceptance. I was pathetically lonely and started saying 'Hi' to everyone, hoping just one person would say something kind back. With some effort, I was accepted into the rich white kids, I guess I look like them. I'm in dept to the girl that talked to me first, but I hate her personality. I have complete apathy or utter despise towards them.
I, at first, just thought to suck it up and live with the friends I so wonted, "Can't you take 4 years?" I thought, but I'm a junior now, and I can't. Pretending to laugh at their immature jokes, listening to their shallow dramas, and going places I don't like is making me depressed. Sometimes I really don't have enough energy to force myself to talk to them, so I'll just sleep the whole afternoon away. I get an outlet in baking (and sleep I guess). I really don't know how to cut my ties without making a scene (and ending up a social reject) or how to survive another year and a half till college.

15/05/2010 : I moved to the UK nearly two years ago and have had some tough times with money and jobs. A friend of mine came to my assistance and gave me some money until my housing benefits came in well they never did and i've been struggling for 18 months to pay for the basics, in that time this friend all of a sudden stopped talking to me(although they blame me saying i stopped talking to them which isn't the case) and my world came crashing down I lost a friend to suicide, lost several members of family to cancer and lost 2 more jobs.
I am back on Jobseekers and still not recieving housing benefits I have basically become homeless and am getting very little a week on jobseekers. Last night this friend contacted me and said I need to pay him back now to be quite frank with all I had going on I had forgotten about needing to pay him back as I went into survival mode. I explained to him my situation as he stopped any contact with me(d me off facebook ect) and offered to pay 10 quid a week until it was paid off. He has gone silent again so I don't know if he's going to accept it or keep pushing for more.
I am so stressed and really at my breaking point I don't know what to do its not like I don't WANT to pay him back its just I CANT do it in more than 10 quid a week.... any advice would be great.

13/03/2010 : I staretd a job 6 months ago and I made friends with a woman who started on the same day. She seemed really nice at first although I did notice that she was a snob. She was quite generous to me though, buying me lunch and things. Now it turns out she is not only a snob which I don't like but she is also a racist. I don't know how to keep her at arms length without causing a problem at work.
