My name is Craig
My name is Craig!! On the 'net - I often go by the name 'CanadaCraig'. I'm a new member of 'TeenHelp'. I was concerned - at first - as to whether or not it would be OK for me to be here AND to post messages - so I emailed 'Jacob' and got his permission. [and I thank him for that!!]
I'm considerably older than most of you - no doubt. I'm 39 years old. I live in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Several years ago - I created my very own homepage. [called CRAIG'S PAGE] I have responded to literally thousands of messages. [mostly from guys - but girls too!!] I like to try to help people. When I succeed - it makes me feel good inside. When I was growing up - I had no one to talk to - even though I lived in a family of 6 people. No one seemed to care about what I was thinking OR feeling. I felt very alone. I made a promise to myself - when I was a teenager - that I would NEVER become a person who only cared about himself. It's not easy - caring about others - however. [as some of you know] Sometimes I think it would be easier not to care at all. But then - what sort of world would this be if no one cared?? [not a world that I'd like - that's for sure]
I know what it's like to be bullied. I know what it's like to be 'different'. I was always the biggest kid in class - by weight AND by height - and hated being so 'obvious'. [especially since I wanted to hide under a rock and disappear] I know what it's like to struggle with being gay. [although I'm still not very comfortable with that 'label' - or ANY 'label' - for that matter] I also know how it feels to be afraid of life and to think that it's OK for other people to make mistakes - but not ME!!
I look forward to posting messages. I sincerely hope that I will be able to help at least some of you. If not - at least know that I honestly DO care about YOU and what YOU are going through. [whether or not I respond to your message]
GREAT BIG HUG!!
Craig!!

Craig has a Yahoo group, and a website that he runs himself which is dedicated to helping guys with their problems. I signed his guestbook and I think he fund teenhelp from the link I added I never knew anything about David getting fired Helen, but anyone is able to help on here, as long as that's what they are doing: helping And not anything else.

Hi Helencwatters,Originally posted by helencwatters@Jan 31 2003, 05:23 AM
There are quite a few people who have come on here posing to be somebody they are not, which is why my concern over the 39 year old wanting to be involved in this field through the internet.
What does that have to do with ME?? I am exactly who I say I am.
That said - I DO appreciate how some teenagers might be a bit concerned about an 'adult' belonging to one of 'their' sites - but I think it's important for teenagers to know that not every adult is thoughtless and uncaring. [or 'interested' in them in some 'inappropriate' way]
Besides - I belong to many 'sites' and post messages all over the net. Most of the 'sites' I belong to are NOT 'teen' specific. I have absolutely NO 'interest' in 'teens' other than wanting to offer a bit of advice whenever I can. [and I can do that because I have already gone through a lot of what some of the 'teens' at 'TeenHelp' are going through now] In fact - I think adults have a responsibilty to help those who are younger than them. What's the point of getting older IF you keep everything you've learned in life - to yourself??
IF you want to know who I am - then read my previous messages. [the one's I've already posted at 'TeenHelp'] AND then take a look at my homepage. I'm sure you're soon discover that I'm not hiding anything and that I really AM who I say I AM.
GREAT BIG HUG
Craig!!

It was tine to go
Through the fields lay golden
Something wispered- "SNOW"
Leaves were green and stirring
Berries,luster-glossed
But beneath the warm feathers
Something cautioned- "FROST"
All the sagging orchards
Steamed With amber spice
But each wild breast stiffened
At rembered ice
Something told the wild geese
It was time to fly-
Summer sun was on their wings
Winter in their cry
It was tine to go
