I AM A 12 YEAR OLD FEMALE. MY NAME IS SUKHMANI.
I AM A LITTLE CONFUSED RIGHT NOW, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU SOMETHING THE THING IS THAT EVER SINCE MY BIRTHDAY I HAVE BEEN FEELING SO LONELY AND INSECURE BUT I HAVE NOT TOLD MY MOTHER BECAUSE I WANT TO KNOW THE REASON BUT NOW I STILL HAVE NO CLUE WHY I AM FEELING THIS WAY. NOW I REALLY WANT TO TALK TO MY TEACHER HARMINDER BHANJI WHO IS AN AMRITDHARI AND EVEN IF SHE IS 4 YEARS OLDER THANME I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS WEIRD FEELING THAT SHE IS BEHIND THIS MY LONELINESS AND MY INSECURENESS BUT IF I TELL HER THIS THING I AM AFRAID THAT SHE WILL BE REALLY
MAD AT ME BUT I REALLY NEED TO TALK TO HER AND I DO NOT WANT TO TALK TO MY MOTHER BECAUSE SHE WONT UNDERSTAND.

(REPLY) Sat Nam. I wouldn't be too sure that your mother "won't understand." Because I believe that the only problem you have is that you are going through the physical and emotional changes from childhood to becoming a young woman. At the age of 12, you are an adolescent, and your glands are going to affect you differently than before, and glands affect your moods and your 'feelings'--. Try to cheer yourself up as best you can, read the full Anand Sahib every day (and of course, start your day by reciting Japji Sahib.) Remember, your feelings and your moods are not who you are, they are things "you" experience, and they will change! Be sure that you get plenty of physical exercise, and one great secret to happiness is to do something every single day to make someone else happy! Do a kind deed, and you'll feel better about yourself! I know this is a hard time, but believe me, it will pass away. May God bless you and Guru guide you. (And I don't think you would be wise to discuss your feelings with your teacher, since she is only 16, and may not have the wisdom to help you - and will take it personally.) SP
