Question by awkward.: Is this good writing for a 14 year old?
Is this good writing for a 14 year old? Would you read on? Any criticism is appreciated! The story is about suicide and this is an intro.

Most people assume that teenagers can’t comprehend any emotion beyond being horny, impulsive and/or lazy. From an adults’ corrupted point of view, they think that kids can’t suffer from depression or any other mental illness. They always say it’s just part of “being a teenager” as if they weren’t all there once, their feelings being dismissed because of adolescence. Although I find it annoying when girls claim to be depressed and prove it by making their status’ lyrics to some Taylor Swift song, not all of us are so pathetic.
This brings us to my life. I like to think of it as being on a see-saw with that kid who brings McDonald’s and Twinkies with him to the park every day. My life is that kid, and my body is on the other side. No control over what’s happening, I fly into the air, as he sinks into the sandbox.
The worst part of it is that I have to lie to ever one I care about and tell them that I’m fine. After all, it’s only helping them in the end. Who wants to listen to me whine about my problems? Well, apparently you do if you’re reading this… but that’s not the point. “I’m okay, really”, “I’m fine” and “don’t worry about it” are my three phrases to getting people to leave me alone. I’m not a secretive person; I’m as subtle as a gun when I’m angry, but if I’m feeling down, you wouldn’t get a reason why even if you shoved pins in my eyes. I could deal with a little acupuncture.
`If I already didn’t put a few insomniacs to sleep, I’m sure you’re all curious about why I’m this way. It’s not because I didn’t get the “purse I wanted” or because “he called my fat”…it’s much deeper than that. However, if I told you now there would be no story, correct? I’m not one for spoilers. If anyone is interested, I would encourage you to read on. If not, go pick up that sappy romance novel about a forbidden love-triangle between a dull human girl, a vampire who wears body glitter and a really hairy guy. Wait, is that supposed to be a werewolf?
This isn’t about me.

I work in a hospital setting and because of it I think I have every disease I come in contact with. The disease of the moment for me now is diabetes. I have been assured by my doctor that I do not have diabetes, but it is stuck in my head that I do. Long story short, I have anxiety and stress all the time. So, where I work there is someone that practices acupuncture. I have always been interested in whether or not acupunture would work for my anxiety/stress. My insurance does cover it at the place I want to go, my only problem is, and this may be silly, but I think the acupuncturist thinks I like him as more than a friend. We’re both guys, I’m gay, he may be gay, but I’m not sure. I really do not have feelings for him, but the way we talk to each other, he may think I do. I really want to try acupuncture, but I’m afraid he will think I’m only coming to him because I like him and want to be around him. I also think the people that work with him (the nurse, receptionist, etc.) would be thinking the same thing. I was going to write him on Facebook and start talking about it, but what should I say? I really want to try acupuncture, so how do I get over it and just do it?

I was talking to a young man who knows all about body energy and I was asking why when I am depressed, why does my body just want to sleep. He said it was about the energy in my body. I have had acupuncture, but I know very little about Chi, so if I want to read about it so I can help myself with depression, what would I google ? thanks

I have tried zoloft and paxil with extreme negative side effects including worsened anxiety, I’ve also been trying alternative therapies such as acupuncture and chinese herbs. They helped for a while but the attacks are back with a vengeance. Daily functioning has become hard. I’m curious about Lexapro and if anyone with the same probs may have benefited from it. Also, how long did it take to notice a difference? Please help Thanks

Emotional Freedom Technique, or E.F.T. for short, is an emotional version of acupuncture without the needles, and it is performing miracles all over the world. It is based on a breakthrough in therapy which has provided relief from pain, diseases and emotional issues for thousands of people.

Based on the same principals of acupuncture, E.F.T. utilises the main meridian points on the body that are integral to the bodies subtle energy system to release physical, emotional, mental and spiritual imbalances. This energy system was discovered by the Chinese approximately 5,000 years ago and is referred to by various names including Chi, Ki, Prana, Life Force and Life Energy.
