katiejill Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 Hello everyone! My name is Katie, I am 17, a senior, and I have been a member of the church all my life. Unfortunately, I have not been extremely active throughout my high school years and it is definitely starting to take its toll. I never really connected with the youth my age in the ward, so there were times when it was difficult to go to church. I find myself very lost and in need of some good ol' church support! I have a feeling that the people here will be able to provide that for me! I am excited about this community and becoming part of it! Can't wait to meet everybody. Quote
FunkyTown Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 Welcome, KJ! We've all been there before and we all need support now and then. We're happy to have you on here and if there's anything you need, just ask. Unless it's money and you're in Nigeria. I'm not falling for the same scam a sixth time. Quote
Dr T Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 Hello KJ. It's nice to meet you. Welcome to this site. :) Quote
pam Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 Welcome. There are a lot of good people here. Quote
Jbdf Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 Hello and welcome, Katie! Glad to have you here. I'm not LDS, but when I was younger I had the same problem in my church; I just never could connect with most of the folks around my age (in large part because they formed large cliques and didn't really associate me), so I eventually left the church youth group, though I stayed active in the church itself. Ultimately I just had to cultivate connections with folks my own age outside of my church and with some older folks within my church. Quote
katiejill Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) Hey everyone! Not sure if this is the right place to post, but oh well! Thanks for the warm welcome! Can't believe its been like a year and a half since I posted. I actually completely forgot I made an account and thought I made another one and used the same username and everything and it linked me back to this one! I fell away even more from the church. I am trying to find the motivation to return, but the journey has included confusion, obvious emotional ups and downs, and some mistakes… quite a few mistakes. I am afraid to go back to church. I know I need to talk to the bishop about some things, except I first need to get to know my new bishop. Oh well. Just saying hi and hopefully I will stick around this time. :) I will definitely need the support! Edited September 17, 2012 by katiejill Quote
