My close friend was on the way to my house when she passed a chasidish family with a bunch of little kids. One of their young daughters said to her mother (loudly) “look mommy, its an off the derech girl.” The mother looked embarrassed and tried to quiet her kid.
This friend of mine has been having a really hard time lately at home, and might have done some things that a bais yaakov girl doesnt usually do. However, at that moment, she was wearing a completely tznius outfit and looked like any other frum girl in my school. No one who doesn’t could have guessed what she has been going through. I dont know how that kid could tell, but how are parents raising their kids now-that if someone is a little bit less religious then you, they are off the derech and need labeling. Everyone is always so judgemental. That in itself could make people like her not want to even try to become better.
My friend handled it very well and accepts that some people put labels on others before they have taken a walk in their shoes. Although i did let her now, I am the one who is horrified by this. She could have taken it the way she did, or this might have made someone like her not want to become better since she sees that people are going to put labels on her anyways.
I got my ipod touch from bestbuy and bought a 2 yr insurance policy with it. The ipod cracked, so i brought it back and they gave me a new one for free!!
130 taken!
I daven for people who are OTD everyday. It is especially important because we can try to help them, but at the end of the day it is really up to them to change their ways and our tefillos can only help.
An I included in that if I was accused by you but then given the benefit of the doubt?
Uneeq: thanx for explaining. Point taken.
Wow, that is a scary thought. Especially for those of us still effected by the hurricane. Hashem must really be trying to tell us something and maybe we just didn’t get it the first time..
Uneeq: I googled internet trolls like you suggested, and now understand why this is horrible. I can see why you and some others might have thought that i was a troll, and will definately try not to post anything like that again.
My question was a sincere question, because many of my friends had gotten instagram accounts and i wanted to know if it was really that bad if i got one to. However, since i was a new member and didnt really know the type, i didnt yet understand that most people on this forum would never go near it.
What happened with ZK is terrible, but if it had to happen i am glad that this occured soon after i became a member. This has shown me that everyone must really be careful with what they post.
Mazel tov!!
Idk mine are black so they started creasing and looked washed out after I wore them for about 2 weeks..mayb it helps with making it not look like they are 10 years old but I didn’t use it yet so I can’t say if it works
I am had the same problem so I bought the ugg spray but didn’t get a chance to use it yet and see if it helps at all.
Yes. Especially if she is a girl so she shouldn’t have to worry about brothers coming in by accident when she is getting dressed and stuff like that. Also, everyone needs privacy and should have a place to go when they just want to be alone. Better in the house then out of the house.
So then why are people calling me Joseph, and why was the thread that I started blocked?
my friend attended a Chanukah party in which lipa was the entertainment, and she said that he not sing his new Chanukah song at all.
Can someone please explain what this whole Joseph thing is??? I have no idea what you people are talking about!!!
Uneeq. What are you talking about???
Today seems to be up high on that list
Like letting threads about Facebook but not Instagram
Aurora77,
I think that we will be moving back home soon it”H! Thanx so much for understanding me.
Do chesed!!!
It makes you feel so fulfilled and good about yourself that you are doing something good for other people.
Aurora77,
You are helping me just by understanding me and validating how I feel. When I say anything about being annoyed about being displaced, most people just say that I will be going back soon so i shouldn’t worry about it. I don’t usually tell anyone when I am upset about anything, so it is nice to see how people care here in the CR.
Aurora77 – amen thanx so much!
Sorry I was being such a grouch about it. I have to learn to be more positive.
I also sometimes feel like that at large social gatherings..what works for me is to bring a good friend to hang out with there!
Tzaddiq – amen. thank you!
A little difficult to prepare for Chanukah when you are still not home because of Sandy…
EzratHashem – thank you so much for all the advice.I wish that there were, but I am the quieter type of girl who doesn’t get close to teachers…I’ve never really spoken to anyone else about this at all. One time I did try to speak to someone older about it, but she doesn’t live near me, so it didn’t work out that well..but besides for that, this is the first time that I’m even opening up a little about this.
EzratHashem,
I am a teen, and he is a year younger than me. I try to always show him that I love him, but don’t really know if I’m doing it in the right way…for ex when he tells me that he is hanging out with/texting girls, I just pretend that it’s fine with me, but he sees that I would never do that.
WOW,
They are not tring to get any help for him.
This year he started going to a school that he dorms in a few times a week, and it Definately helped get rid of some of the tension in the house.
WOW, i first saw this post about a month ago and have read everything in it..
i have a brother who is not really OTD but is very rebellious and will do anything the opposite of what my parents tell him. i am not saying that he is OTD b/c he still does mitzvos but he does many things that are not in line with our schools/families tenets.
I dont know your son, but from experience with my brother, i would say not to mention anything to him aboout the shlichim that have connected with him unless he mentions it first. He probably does not want you to know about that part of his life yet.
I always daven for people like my brother and your son. I feel like that is the best way we can help them.
