i feel so trapt behind these walls and i dont know what to do. if any of you dudes and dudettets could help me i would really appreciate it. its hard though im only 14 and could really use some help.
behind these walls of what exactly? Im also 14, and i feel trapped in this city. i have to go to school, learn things i dont need in my life, and at home not being appreciated as a different person than supposed to be. i cant really live as i would like to. what i do is not giving up, be who i am, not changing cos of the people around me. i once ran away.. went to the woods (near to my house) and stayed there till the middle of the night. i was free. but im not saying you to ran away, cos it will only cause trouble apart from freedom. I dont really know what you feel, so if you tell that first, maybe i can help you. if i cant, then theres a whole Hippie forum behind you who can.
Hey, don't worry man! I'm also fourteen and I hear you! In this world we speak of freedom and speech but there is none of that where I live! I am only ever told I am a freak by those around me, not just by soceity's bullies but by my so-called friends. It frustrates me that the only way I can get in touch with my kind is through a forum! I want to meet people who share my beliefs and feel loved by the world! It's like I long to go back to the 60's and break free but I can't! All I know is that one day I'm going to get out of here man! I'm going to travel the world and meet people...you know really meet them. The world is full of beautiful people and you're one of them. So be happy and love life untill that moment when you too can break free. Live and love the world because the world loves you. PM me any time. Peace and love
^exactly, beautifully said. your time is still coming, so keep hanging. and the people on this forum really help. If you just keep hanging around here youll feel a lot better, i promise you. And whenever you have problems, tell us. We all love eachother.
Here's what I do....I get out into the country. Failing that, try find a very large park. Look's amazing, dunnit? Well believe it or not, It's slap bang in the middle of the city. Just try to get to the country or, if not, a large park...
As others have said, your time is coming. Sadly in this oppressive police state we live in you can't really do jack shit until you're 18 or maybe even older. For the time being, lay your plans, don't let the world get to you and smile your way through the next four years. Then you can be free. Try and get out into nature, take up a hobby, play music. Society can't change the person you are, remember at 14 (this goes for georgehippiegirl too) you're still a seedling. With patience you will flower. Just nurture yourself and don't let other people give you frostbite!
free your mind (and while you're "trapped" in your home or at school try to learn usefull things and to concentrate on your education, some things aren't so stupid as they seem)
i often feel trapped, and think it's mostly because I'm misunderstood. I guess I find comfort in music, and art. I go to the park near my house. No one goes there much, and on sunny days its so beautiful to just sit on the grass. The only hippie friends I have are the ones I talk to on the computer. That's better than nothing though! And I'll be 14 next sunday...so I know that it gets very frustrating when people just think of you as a little kid, that doesn't know anything. Hope you feel better real soon...it will get better, you just need to find something to occupy your time and open up your mind Peace Love Jane
be free and live in your mind. your mind is the most beautiful place in existence. imagination is not just for little kids. part of being a teenager is feeling and/or believing you're misunderstood. i know im only sixteen.. but ive gone through a lot of shit and have a mother who is unadmittedly mentally ill-so ive had to find ways to be myself and feel free under unusual circumstances. a place that i am always my self is.. well school. i dont try to put on an act to be socially accepted in any way. that whole "act" statement is incredibly cliche.. what i mean is, i genuinely do not care about what people think of me and my character. i try to be the best person i can for MYSELF and not for anyone else. if people cant respect your true being then there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. acting different or portraying yourself as even a slightly altered person makes the un-respecting person respect your act, not you. to feel free and break through your walls you need to love yourself.. which is a lot more complicated and difficult than it sounds.
