Hey everyone.

Post Reply New Topic

I'm Angela, but most people call me Miss Orton, haha.

Just signed up a few moments ago. =] Been looking around the site all day, and decided I'd join. It's nice reading about things that I've gone through and knowing people feel and act the same way I do. It's a comfort.

I'm not diagnosed with AS, but I have a majority of the signs, so I probably am. I guess I'll give a little background on me. =)

I had never heard of AS before until I watched the famous season of America's Next Top Model. I didn't know what it was, so I got online and looked it up. Sure enough, I realized that it sounded an awful lot like me. Ever since then, I've been trying to get things about it figured out and whatnot. As of now, I'm fairly convinced I have it. =) It makes sense, since I don't do very well in social activities, I have extremely narrowed interests, etc. Past experiences in my life have contributed, I'm sure.

I'm 16, and I don't have much interaction with people in general...I'm homeschooled, but I go to classes at my mom's church on Tuesdays, and I go to her church on Saturdays...sometimes go to the youth group every other Wednesday, and that's about it. I don't get along too well with the people there because, to me, they seem extremely narrow-minded, judging, and harsh. If you don't do this and this, you're out of the club, so to speak. The youth there think and act like regular Christian teenagers: say something, do something completely different. I have a hard time dealing with them because they talk about petty things and things that don't catch my interest and are very two-faced, which I cannot stand, so I just keep to myself. Occasionally I'll talk, but after I open my mouth, there will usually be that 'awkward silence' thing...I won't talk for the rest of the time I'm around them.

An example of this: At one youth group get together, we were doing a Bible study/discussion, and somehow gay people were brought up. I raised my hand and said, "I find absolutely nothing wrong with gay or bi people. They're human just like you and me." Awkward silence and glares. One boy even said something to the effect of, "Pft, you support gay people." Like I'm supporting serial killers or something.

On a positive note, I'm really into professional wrestling, animals, and music. Professional wrestling most of all though. I'm looking into becoming a wrestler, and plan on going to school as soon as I can. It's something I've always wanted to do, since I was a little girl. (It's another thing that I get ridiculed about at my mom's church, so I rarely talk about it. I do wear shirts and whatnot though.)

Anyways, I rambled. =P I have a tendency to do that. But yes, there's me for ya. =D

Welcome OrtonStorm!

To WrongPlanet!! !

Nice to meet you, Angela.

Hello,
My experience is that church youth, sports youth, school youth, athiest youth, dancing youth, any youth, most of them are two-faced hypocrites, or perhaps you could consider them malleable, chameleons who change to fit in wherever they are. Or you could consider them to be trying on different personalities to see what fits. Or you could consider them lost little amoebas who have no idea what living with a backbone would be like. Have mercy on them.

Hi Angela,

welcome to WP.

A professional wrestler...thats awesome!
Do what you want to do and don't let anyone tell you that you can't, or you shouldn't (unless it's dangerous) be able to follow your dream.
I'm interested in animals as well. Do you have any pets?

As far as the teens at the youth group go, they sound like narrow minded snobs who have nothing better to do with their time than make others feel excluded. Ignore them, and find some people who you have things in common with. Even better, join a wrestling club.
P.S, i'm 16 too.

I hope you enjoy posting here.
