> Yikes. No trusted adults they can go to? Or do they just figure you're the first person to ever have these problems?

Well, none of them are honestly SERIOUS problems... it's not like anyone's contemplating suicide or anorexic or anything... it's just day-to-day teenage stuff... like, "Okay, he said this, what does that mean?" or just other teenage type stuff. We teenagers don't tend to trust adults with that sort of thing.

> Sounds like you need a break. I guess you could refer them to somebody you trust to give good answers... does the youth pastor fit the bill?

There ARE other people that fit the bill... like, for the girls, the women's youth associate at our church, whom all of us girls love and trust like crazy... but she has a job, it's not like she can spend a half-hour every day going over minute little details of a relationship... but i think i will sort of let people know that i'm burning out and need a break for a while. we'll see what happens.
