Hei Astrid!

Yea, I thought that these aren't probably just our problems, especially when the world is so small nowadays, one country's problems are soon in the other countries too.

I've actually thought a lot about what is the reason why so many people here are badly depressed, but actually there's so many possible reasons that I haven't figured it out yet. We really are very happy country, but you know, it's the human nature which always makes the problems even if everything would really be fine.
The thing which worries me, is that these days, and probably in the future too the people seems to search the answers to
their problems from the TV, like from the teleprogrammes like Dr. Phil or Oprah and I think it's reeeeally stupid.
Okay, those people like Dr. Phil etc. have probably read many books and are very intelligent, but in the end it's just busines. Instead of watching those, I think the people should read and search the old wisdoms of their
ancestors.
I've tried to read a lot about old Finnish phrases, wisdoms etc. and have asked those from my mother. They really are clever.

I don't know do you know, but at least in my family and as far as I know many other Finns too really appreciates the thing called common sence. The parent's responsibility is to teach it to their children that it'll come from their backbone (as we say) when needed. But now when people only watch the TV etc., don't have proper parents teaching and don't heard the wisdoms of the old people ('cause they're locked in the hospitals), they don't have it anymore. And there the problems comes and fast.

About the anorexia and bulimia, I just watched a program where they said that these were common already in the Roman Empire, when the women wanted to be more beautiful or then their parents didn't give food to them because they thought their child was too fat. So it's really old illness and that was kind of a surprise for me. But anyways I think my friend's will be better soon. I also think that the hardest thing in all this is that when your friends are feeling ill and talks all of their problems to you, you also start to get depressed, especially when you've your own problems too.
And sometimes I don't really understand my friends at all, but don't worry I also have many of those so called "normal friends", so it's okay.

I think that the people thinking about suicide is very common here, at least in our school and in the other schools where I've friends. And I can tell that those people who really are in a very bad shape, aren't quiet about how they are feeling. The problem is that the people around aren't listening.
I've seen many cases when somebody have been teasing someone and have been so stupid that haven't realise how bad feeling he/she is doing to the another person. They understand it later, when the person who is teased (etc.) for example makes a story about his/her life or keeps a talk in front of the class about his/her feelings and then the accident is already happened.
And the public healthy system here is at the moment in a very bad condition so it's really hard to get help. Luckily they're going to make some law now that it'd start to work again...

Oh, I had heard about that at present the German kids are a bit lazy to study
the languages in the school (I've one 19 year old German girl and one 18 year old boy as a netfriends) but I didn't know that the situation is THAT bad...
But at least they're still alive and when they get older and will (hopefully) get familiar with some truths of this world, they still have another change.

I really hope that the both goverments of us will even try to do something to these problems. However in the end the people are usually those who has to make the final move.

That was really interesting to here where you live, but I'm sorry about your granny, it must have been hard to you to move in to her house.
I've actually once visited in Köln when I went to Bonn to Miyavi's (one artist I really like) gig.
I loved the city, especially the Köln's cathetral was AMAZING. There ain't anything like that in Finland. I also saw the Rein.<3

Thank you for this interesting conversation and ofcourse I'm not tired to write with you!!! Don't even think about it! I also hope that you'll be happy there and someday be able to come to Finland!
This is so long that I won't write it in Finnish anymore if it's okay.

Korjaus:

Moi Aurora!
Luulen että on tullut aika vastata sinulle. Minulla on vähän
ongelmiakiireitä* kotona, niin että en voi vastata niin nopeasti.
Toivon että et ole vihainen minulle. Tällä hetkellä olen töissä.
Joskus käyn tällä sivulla täältä, vaikka se on kielletty.
En löydä aikaa kirjoittaa muuten. Minulla on kova kiire nyt.

Asun pienessä kaupungissa joella nimeltä Rein. Se on 100 km
etelässä Kölnistä.
Koblenz on ensimmäinen iso kaupunki
minun paikkani/kotini lähellä.
Paikassa asuu 3500 ihmistä.
Asun perheeni kanssa talossa jonka
ostimme 8 vuotta sitten, kun _ mummoni kuoli
(se oli hänen talonsa).







Terve!
Puhun mielelläni suomea kanssasi! Haluatko että korjaan tekstisi ja kirjoitan omani myös englanniksi, vai kirjoitanko vain suomeksi?

Minulle kuuluu hyvää. Meillä on täällä nyt kesäloma, onko sielläkin nyt loma?
Olisi mukavaa kuulla enemmän vierailustasi täällä. Missä päin suomea asuit?

Hi!
I'm happy to talk Finnish with you! Do you want that I correct your text and will write my own text in English too, or will I write only in Finnish to you?

I'm fine. We've the summer holiday here, do you've the holidays now too?
It'd be nice to here more about your visit here. Where in Finland did you live?
