Nights with the chipmunks episode 19

Adam : Hi and welcome back to another episode of Nights with the chipmunks and it looks like we have someone asking for some advice so girls take it away

Brittany : Thank you Adam now then the person is known as Brit-Brit and she's asking for some advice

Ok, here's the sitch. I feel depressed. Nothing major or anything, just depressed. The furthest back I remember feeling this way was sixth grade after I joined poms and I remember why. The girls kept judging me, telling me that I couldn't look a certain way, I couldn't have my hair a certain way, saying that I should wear make up. Even the couch said that I should get contacts because I'd look better and like everyone else if I wasn't wearing my glasses. I finished the season and I didn't sign up again. After poms I noticed that sad, aching feeling in my heart. Those questions started popping up, "why couldn't I be perfect like them?" "Why can't my nose be smaller?" "Why can't my hair be straighter?" "Why can't I look beautiful in everything I wear?" "Why can't I be beautiful?" As those questions started accruing more and more often, I began to suppress them and ignore them. I kept telling myself I was perfect just the way God made me. And I know it's weird, but I started watching VeggieTales again. It was A Snoodle's Tale that really got to me. That one was just about self confidence and the way I looked at myself. I knew that God made me this way for a reason so it really didn't matter what anyone else thought. What mattered was what God thought of me, and what I thought of myself. Throughout the years, I'd gotten pretty good at basically hiding those ugly thoughts. I made myself the happiest, optimistic kid I could be. Everything was fine. The only difference between then and now was that was Junior High. Now I'm in a whole new ball game: High School.

Girls are ruthless at High School. They will break you, smash your confidence into little, tiny, bite size pieces them push you to the side without showing a hint of remorse for their actions. They spread rumors, they talk smack about each other, they judge each other, they go on their little Facebook's... It just never ends.

And my sister's been picking on me a lot too. She'd say things like, "You stupid, fat, ugly cow! You're such a retard! Stupid idiot!" That hasn't helped me at all. I tried not to listen to it, I tried not to let it get to me. But I guess that when you hear those things basically everyday you start to believe it. She even tells me she hates me and wishes I would die. And sometimes that's just what I feel to do.

Throughout home and school, I just kept thinking," it doesn't matter what they think," and "God loves, my family loves me, my friends love me and that's all that matters!" But those ugly feelings haven't leaked since recently. I guess it got to be too overwhelming for my brain to handle. I tried to hold them back, push them back into that little part in my brain but it was pointless; it's like that last sweater you're trying to fit in your suitcase before you go on vacation. You struggle and push and reorganize and finally just shove it in there and slam it shut, then just as you're taking that sigh of relief... it pops back open and everything spews out!

I talked to my mom about it and she refused to believe it. She said I had no reason to be depressed and to "snap out of it"! That ticked me off a lot! She expects me to just shut of the "depression" button in my head and be like, "oh, time to stop being sad!" The only people I've ever trusted to tell is my BROTHER (I can't believe I can tell my brother about my feelings and not my own mother) and my best friend! They both have been really nice to me and understanding! I mean, don't get me wrong;I love my brother and my friend for at least trying to help me. But I don't know what else to do.

Brittany : Well girls what do you think?

Jeanette: well if these girls are like that then they are not your friends trust me and if your mom isn't believing you and neither is your best friend then maybe your brother is the only one who can trust you and believe me maybe your mom would take the time to listen to you and try to understand what your going through cause our caretaker Dave always takes the time to listen even our own brothers and our friends as well believe me now get us wrong you have a great brother and friend who listens to you but anyway though Eleanor care to help us out?

Eleanor: Sure thing anyway though so from what I heard from the both of you it seems that this person is going through what we call peer pressure or something never never listen to those kinds of girls if there judging you on how you should dress look and what not then there nothing to you ignore them and if your sister is saying those awful things toward you then you should ignore it as best as you can like when we have haters we always ignore them as best as we can and another thing just keep thinking that god always loves you same with your family and friends cause you can always fall back on them when your having a bad day cause your friend seems to understand but does your friend really listens that's the question you must ask your self oh and as for Facebook don't ever think cause of those statuses that they are true in which those girls are just butt hurt that your better than they are always always ignore those hateful things they say about you I mean take Adam for instance he's always working on a new story when he can and sometimes he gets hateful reviews and he ignores them like you should but don't be afraid to speak your mind and stand up for yourself when you are being bullied don't let those girls bully or judge you stand up for yourself and your friends fight for what you believe in and ignore everything else as it would mean nothing to you trust me on this but lets get to our final thoughts though Brittany why don't you start us off

Brittany: Thank you Eleanor now Brit-Brit if you have anymore problems don't feel that you can't talk to us cause your always welcome to come to us with what ever problem that you have

Jeanette : That's right those girls are nothing but mean bullies to you something to drag you down you must be rid yourself of those and focus yourself on your studies and always always do your best no matter what everyone at your school and home say its always worked for us and it may work for you too

Eleanor:That's right remember what we told and it will hold true to your heart no matter what 20 years down the road those girls will soon regret what they said and look to you for something to say and even if they make fun of you then they won't in the future when your married and have kids of your own so always look forward to that

Adam : Well said girls well said indeed remember what they said Brit-Brit and always put one foot in front of the other and keep going and always ignore what they say cause its something to weigh you down trust us on that . Well that's all the time we have today send in your questions advice and your song requests and remember Christmas is coming up so uh yea look forward to that and see ya next time on NIGHTS WITH THE CHIPMUNKS
