    WHAT IS EVERYONE DOING THIS SUMMER!

    Hi my name is pippa and i am trying to make some new friends that understand what being a young carer is all about. I go to a school in [town name removed by YCNet team] were i am the only young carer there! Sometimes i feel like no one understands me because i tend to have lots of mood swings and can change from being really happy to really angery and some times suicidal. Thats  were i get my nickname from "emogal94" i get that because i was born in the year of 1994 and that i am an emo cross tomboy and every girl at my school is really girly and i hate girly girls there is nothing worse than being around the so called eniemy!I am really nice though don't let my nickname scare you! I care for my mum and sisters because my mum has a back problem and one of my sisters has mental heath problems and the other has deppression but they don't live at home but still need alot of support! I would like some support cos i just moved to this new school and there is no one that i trust enough to talk to cos at my old school i trusted someone with a seacret and the next day it was spreed round the school and it was not a plesent thing to happen, so ever since then ihave never trusted anyone in the school circle in fear of what might happen. I have also been through alot of bulling and sometimes i find my self out side the deputy heads office in trouble cos pf something i have said or done, i am on my last warning before i have to leave! I have not made any friends here cos they think i will get them in troble  if they do, sometimes i feel i don't have a soul in the world to turn to so i find myself in the chapel, computer room, music room, art room or outside on the benches by myself. I am always saying how thing could not get any worse when all of a sudden i find myself in trouble at home as well as at school and sometimes i feel my only escape is this web address cos i feel i can trust everyone in this group cos they all understand how i must be feeling! I also understand how other people feel when they are newcomers to the group because i was one once and i know how they must feel not knowing anyone.

    hoping to become anyones mate

    love from

    Hi! I'm Maddi, and I go through the same kind of thing at my school. I think there's one other young carer here, and no-one really seems to undersand except for my closest friends. Everyone else is under the impression that my Dad's a loony and we're such a lucky family because we get everything easy and we're on benefits because my Mum is my Dad's registered carer.

    Thankfully I've found myself some understanding friends at school - but even if you can't, you're never alone when you're on here. There's a thread in creative corner - Put ay poems here - and it's got some poems on it. The ones called "Never Alone" and "Us" are mine, and it's about how you're never truly alone if you're a young carer, even though you may feel that way.

    Your school should be understanding of your problems at home, and if they aren't then it's worth talking to someone who can make a big difference to what's going on - a teacher you trust or a parent.

     Don't worry, you've always got space to vent and talk to other people here.

     =) Maddi

    HI MADDI

    THANK YOU FOR YOUR MESSAGE READING YOUR MESSAGE MAKES ME FEEL A LOT BETTER! [identifying details removed by YCNet team] DID YOU GO TO THE YOUNG CARERS FESTIVAL LAST WEEKEND 27-29 JUNE? IF NOT YOU SHOULD GO NEXT YEAR AND MAYBE WE COULD MEET UP THERE!

    Nope, I didn't go, I'm waiting for someone from the local young carers group to come around and "assess" me. Oo-er, it all sounds quite frightening.....

     HI MADDI,

    It is not too bad they just want to know what things you have to do and what makes you a young carer and the young carers staff in southampton are really nice! if you do become part of the southampton group maybe we could become mates.

    hope we can become mates

    HI MADDI,

    HOPE YOU HAVE A HAPPY BIRTHADAY ON THE 13TH JULY COS I'LL BE ON MY HOLIDAY THEN SO I WON'T BE ABLE TO SAY IT ON THE DAY! TURST ME TURNING 14 IS NOT ALL IT IS CUT OUT TO BE.

I TURNED 14 ON THE 23RD JUNE AND IT DID NOT FEEL LIKE MY BIRTHDAY AT ALL, COS MY BIRTHDAY WAS ON AMONDAY AND I HAD SCHOOL AND EVERYONE HATES ME THERE SO I HAD A REAL SPECIL DAY, THEN MY MUM FORGOT SHE WAS PICKING ME UP TILL 4PM, 20 MIN AFTER SCHOOL FINISHES THEN I WENT OUT FOR A MEAL DID NOT GET BACK TILL LATE AND COS I HAD SKOOL THE NEXT DAY HAD TO GO TO BED AND DIDN' T HAVE TIME TO OPEN MY PREZZIES TILL WEDNESDAY COS I HAD A SKOOL CONCERT ON TUESDAY TO GO TO.

    MAYBE I WILL COME TO WHALES SOME DAY!

    THAT IS WOT BEING 14 IS ALL ABOUT!

    LOVES YA

    We went on holiday at the same time!! :D coooool!!!

    I had a great birthday - swimming in the fun pool in the morning, and then going round the arcade in the afternoon. We spent all day on the caravan site!!! I love Park Resorts. I always used to go to Haven but we didn't this year, we went to Yorkshire on a Park Resorts holiday instead! :) It was cooool!

    How was/is your holiday? Thanks for saying happy birthday!! I like being 14 so far, but I get the feeling it'll all change :o
