I spend my fucking childhood in loneliness.And now I am in my teen years-and my fucking life will continue to be lonely forever,

[tonymasons]

I had a horrific childhood myself. Not something I'm going into on a public site like this, but I can tell you that there is hope. Speak with a therapist/pyschologist. They can help (the good ones do anyway). Things will only get better if you make the effort to change your way of thinking and your environment. I know that's hard, but what have you got to lose?

Loneliness is a state of mind, nothing more. If you were lonely as a child and are now a teenager still feeling lonely, then it's something you're doing. Don't blame society, parents or other people. Fact is, if you don't go out and socialize, you'll be lonely.

[tonymasons]

It is not that easy. If it were, we wouldn't have depression in our society. Socialising can be daunting for some, and the benefits are not always clear. It is difficult to put so much effort into something as hard (for some) as socialising without there being any clear benefits. Galanoth9, there are many others like you...you are not alone.

Oh, there were two more comments that I deleted as the poster was an idiot. :-)

I was expecting them to ask: 'What was your total revenue last year? Give me hard facts and figures! How much of your own money have you invested in this?'

[vishy]

What an angelic young lad ... well done on getting the investment!!

@ChrisCatesCC Perhaps you don't understand the full concept. Look For Loneliness helps children understand about bullying. It teaches them how to deal with a bully, how to stop bullying and how to reach out for help if they are a bully themselves. Surely this cannot be harmful to children?

[ChrisCatesCC]

It would be a successful idea... However, I don't necessarily like what it's doing for kids.

@marcusleonswadling I think you have perhaps not understood the pitch correctly. It is NOT a post to stand by as this is humiliating. It is a sign to remind children to look for loneliness. James didn't pinch ideas. He spent many hours writing 16 books which were not stolen. This is a unique product now selling universally. Thank you for your post and for a better understanding of the product visit the website.

[marcusleonswadling]

WTF they had this exact idea in my school way before this, they had they all of it with the post for lonely kids to go. Don't you just hate it when people steal ideas and try and pass them off as their own! Shame on him.

[betabeta1919]

Those 3 who incouraged him but at the end didn't invest are hipocrats.

@NateSean Hi James here - I'd love my products to help in the US. I'll gladly ship to you if you can find a school to buy from the web site. Not sure of shipping costs but I'll keep the prices as low as I can to help over there.

Aww. I think one or two of the dragons were about to cry!

@DeepCosmos Sometimes for some people (like me) socializing beyond talking every once in a while is outright terrifying! It's nice to have someone just come up to you and talk.
