Essential support for under 25s

Same. Though I feel nasty saying it...just in case.
If it's not real i'm glad because the things she was saying just seemed so terrible you couldn't imagine people (especially her family) being so cruel.
I hope she is alright though, makes you wonder why anyone would go this far to get attention from people she doesn't know
Yeah, I had my suspicions that they were all posted by the same person (my editorial brain picks up pretty quickly on peoples little grammatical idiosyncrasies), but I didn't think it would be particularly helpful to anyone to come in all guns blazing.
I think it's nice for people to see that there is a support network here, even if it was ill-gotten gains and all that. I just hope things like this don't make everyone as jaded as I am
but iv been reading this thread with bated breath, i had a feeling it was made up, with the bullies etc
Still, there's no reason for us to be embarrassed or anything. We have to take everyone as we see them, at least initially. The worst thing we can do is act all suspiciously every time someone new turns up with problems. So, we should just drw a line under it and act like we've always done prevously and be willing to try and help anyone who wants it.
:yes:
I witnessed a similar thing on another forum over Christmas. Someone claimed their daughter was very ill and needed a heart operation. She then needed blood and later died. The poster was caught out when they kept giving inconsistent details.
And that's a shame because I imagine that somewhere there is a woman in that situation who could have done with the help and support that this other woman was given.
:yes:
Plus it has shown how many nice and caring posters there are!
Yaaay! Go us!
Absolutely. Over the last 8 or so years I've been on here I've seen a fair few fakers and no doubt everyone else has too, the best thing we can do is just keep on trying to help
Mhmm. I'd like to think that she's okay no matter what the issue might be.

That's really harsh. If you're ready to pretend to be someone else and make up a scenario to get help, then you need help and support too.
It means that someone that is prepared to go to those lengths to get attention is obviously in need of some help and support.
I spell correctly. I use correct grammar. I can even use punctuation.
What don't you understand?
You know people don't just have to be troubled to so something like that.
But if they were doing it to seek attention then maybe they are.
Sometimes, there are people who seek attention for all the wrong reasons and purposly (sp?) who have no problems in their life only the ability to waste their time and others time.. for what benefit, who knows.
Lucid-Life,
Calling Amilie a 'Freak' and an 'it' because she has emotional problems and difficulties in expressing them is not in the vibe of The Site and the community here. Also later on the thread, you were necessarily rude to Dancing Horse and their use of English. Also not what we are about on here.
You contribution is always welcomed and we understand that this thread has caused a stir of emotions, but try to think twice about what you are typing before you hit return, particularly if you are feeling emotional.
Thanks
Unfortunately said user is starting to do this a bit too often for my liking.
As for calling amillie an it etc, please read what I have written before you assume I have called a person that sincerely needed help on these baords a freak.. because I haven't.
