When you share your feelings girls get very emotional. Now saying that girls like to cry and cry and do things to hurt themselves. Most girls think their in "love". But love at a young age isn't meaningful. You only know your in love when you find someone you can spend your whole life with. There are so many consequences due to things girls do to calm their selves. There is stress eating witch effects your weight, there is cutting witch causes blood loss. Now guys on the other hand really don't care about a break up they don't have the same feelings as us girls do. Also a break up is a break up it doesn't have a true meaning to it. Girls are always thinking that when they say "i love you" it means something but it doesn't. Your young, dumb and in love.]]> 2017-01-09 17:05:19 UTC https://padlet.com/detersmundy/hq94yvgobx0o/wish/146048107 Gabby and Victoria https://padlet.com/detersmundy/hq94yvgobx0o/wish/146048154 Not getting enough sleep can effect your energy level which could cause lack of focus,emotional issues,weight gain and sicknesses.

Depression is quite different from regular sadness because it lasts longer (time already specified) and affects more than just a persons mood. It can also affect things such as appetite, energy loss, and give people headaches and sleeping problems 

Depression may cause the want to induce self-pain, by cutting self.

Depression may come unnoticeable to peers such as parents or family members so you may not get treated quick enough; so, to prevent this; Contact an adult or doctor immediately.

Marijuana is usually rolled and smoked like a cigarette (joints or doobies), or put in hollowed-out cigars (blunts), pipes (bowls), or water pipes (bongs).

The main active chemical in marijuana is THC delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol .When someone smokes marijuana, THC goes from the lungs into the bloodstream.

To add on to a break up. There is also things that are key factors to a break up. There is trust, mutual respect, honesty, support, fairness, equality and communication. If you don't have all of these factors its not true love. Not only that but not even love. How to get over it is you could talk to someone. That seems crazy in all but talking to someone works. Even if its a friend, a parent, a teacher, a guidance counselor, a best friend or even your stuffed teddy bear. As long as you can let your feelings out in a good way.
