Vent away hon! Try to keep in mind that your parents are trying to encourage you to do what is considered "normal" for your age. To go out and socialize. However, you do what makes you comfortable. What about book clubs and things like that? Ever thought about something of that nature as a way of getting out and interacting with others? That way you are discussing "safe" topic, you don't have to talk about yourself or can just sit and listen to what others say about the book... just an idea to get you out and parents off your back... I also know that stores like Borders and Barnes and Noble have book club night, poetry reading and sometimes someone singing and playing guitar...

Parents are hard to deal with sometimes. They want the best for you, but sometimes their best isn't our best. You could either make up glamorous party stories to tell them or try to explain that it's just not you & that you are happy with the way your life is. I'm thinking the party stories will be easier!! lol good luck.

Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
