hey everyone

yes, i know i jsut made a blog not even 2 hours ago, but i have some more things to discuss, so here it goes:

have you ever realized that theres always a point in everybodys life when things just seem to get 10000x more complicated, and issues that youve only heard about start to happen to you or people close to you, and your not living in this somewhat-like-fanatsy world anymore?? Ok, i bet alot of you are thinking right now: wtf is Kristal talking about??  well, what i mean is that when you are younger, nothing is a big issue really..everythings usually happy-go-lucky. You live in this almost like "fantasy world" where thers not too many big issues. And when you get a little older, you start to learn about big issues like sex, stds, eating dissorders, drugs and alcohol, smoking, depression, suicide, bombings, phamon, shootings, rape, abuse, and all that other stuff, but think "oh none of my friends will get into sex, drugs, smoking, alcohol, suicide, depression, or eating disorders!!" But eventually, usually a few months to about a year, things start to happen, and either you, family or freidns start to get into some of these things, and you life is changed, usually without you knowing it at the time. But if you look back on it, youll realize "whoa, things were so simple back then!!" and its true. And this is what im going at right now. For me, i started learning about all those issues in grade 6 and 7, but i NEVER thought none of that stuff would happen to me or my friends!! But all that chenged in grade 8..i eventually became depressed (thats all i got into for a while (dont worry im not depresed now) for a really long time, and alot of friends, family members, and just people i new of but werent really firends, started doing drugs, smoking, drinking alot, some having sex, and wanting to commit suicide. And there my life changed in grade 8. And ive talked to soem of my friends, and for some of them it happened earlier in grade 6 or 7, for others in grade 8 like me, and for others jsut this year. But thats ok, it happens to everyone at different times. Now i bet alot of youare thinking now: wheres kristal going with this?? Well i have news for u..im not really going anywhere with this, i just wanted to state and get you guys my age to realize that you may think that 2 years ago or so wasnt that different as now, but it is. You may of know about these issues, but you probably didnt have to deal with themat all or as much as you do now, and you should realize that asyou get older, you face more issues. Who knows what we'll ahve to face in grade 10,11, and 12....

In other news, I bet alot of you guys are thinking "whats up with your introduction kristal " well, its kinda my moto..it means that life can be really awsum sumtimes, but itll always aventually go down and make u sad at times, so try and get rid of those sad moments as fast as you can so you can enjoy life It took me all of grade 8 to realize that, so i figure id tell u guys that know to save you the troble of being depressed and all that...

Well anyways, i gave you people enough to think about, so im out for now. Cya later!!
