I’m scared
by: B.S. on Wed, Sep 10 2008

I’m a sixteen year old boy who has been smoking for about a year (only regularly up untill a month ago). I have been having a slight fever (about 100F), and night sweats where I wake up shivering uncontrollably. I have also had a very swollen lymphnoid (right), lower back pain, and these red sores on my arms and thighs. I weigh 115 pounds now, I weighed 127 untill the last month and a half or so.

I don’t know if its relevent or not but I recently over came one of the biggest challanges of my life; which was overcoming my addiction to weed. I have been clean for over three months and I switched schools this year to help myself. I have gotten straight A’s so far (last year I got D’s). I don’t know what to do. My whole family loves me so much, but I dont want to talk to them about it untill I know for sure whether or not I have it.

The thing I hate myself for the most right now, is the fact that I want a cigarette.
