      my 17 year-old has had a problem with over-the-counter drugs. Cold meds, cough meds, and is coming home from rehab this week. He's been gone for 11mths. and I'm really stressing about how he will do once he gets home.I've had a couple of questions about his Dad on here, his Dad passed away in a car accident when he was 11, so I'm sure a lot of this may have come from that.

    • Open Shyness

      Well, I've always been shy, I was the little girl at recess sitting alone watching the others play. I'm better now, I think, but still don't know how to make friends, what to talk about to someone I don't even know. I have few friends, most are family though. I've been single for 3 years and have no idea how to go about meeting someone. Like I said before, what do you talk about? I wish I knew the answers.
