thank you everyone. so much. thank you.
i have decided i'm going to talk to my mom, not about this but about something i've noticed i really want. i want to possibly be a vet, and my parents don't want me too, but i do. animals are what pull me through things like this, and being around animals just lifts everything off of me. no matter what she says, i'm going to try to intern as a vet this summer. its what i really want.
i'll also try to hold my head up and ignore the nasty comments i get. there's times when i can hold them off, then they all come tumbling down on me and i end up like this. what doesn't kill me will only make me stronger.
time to write a paper...should've done it before! oops.
