How did it feel taking the survey?

It felt like I was being honest with myself. Being able to submit it anonymously made me feel more empowered to speak freely and answer honestly. Some of the questions were hard to answer. My first instinct was to answer truthfully but then i would think about how truthfully should I answer these questions. No one can truly understand how you feel and what you are going through so the answers received might be surprising. Some of the questions that really stopped me and made me think about were the more personal ones like the questions about people caring about you,if your family knows you and if your family appriciates you. I think those made me pause because I felt like I couldn't answer those positivly and I felt like i should. All teens complain about their families but most people dont complain about their friends. I think because they feel friendships are relationships you choose to be in but people dont stop to think about why they are making friends with the people they are or why they feel the need to be accepted by certain groups of people. Maybe people who don't get enough attention from people in their families seek more attention from their friends and it hurts them more when thise rerlationships don't work out. Maybe the people who are talked to about their day when they get home are less likely to do drugs or look for attention in negative ways.

I feel like my results are similar to the other people who tried to answer honestly. There are some questions I feel I answered more honestly than others and maybe that's where our answers differ.
