Hi, I hope you are all having a great day so far! We aren't a small or large team, so it's easy to get to know each other. If there are some things you don't want to share, keep it to myself. We all should be friends and be ONE together. I am called Rocky. I will not go into much detail why, but you can check me out at www.chess.com/members/view/rockongirl and click About Me. I've known Albert (Luidefunes, co - founder) and Matt (Matthew_Alexander, co - founder assistant) for a long time, and we're always a three. We help each other and are all connected. Goal (TheGoalKeeper), Supreme (Supreme_Commander_FS), and BK (BeginnerKnight) are all becoming great friends with me. I love acting and chess, art and friends. However, no one is perfect. I have messed up in all these things, but I mostly still have fun. The trick is to pick yourself up again. You can check our forum games here: http://www.chess.com/groups/forum/isolated-chess. Some people see me, as well, negative things. I won't lie, and neither should any of you. I have done some wrong things, but haven't we all? As long as you are confident in yourself, do what you feel is right and follow your dream. This is one of my favorite things to do: Stop Motion! Watch this awesome video, I bet you'll laugh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cq-FRk-COxk. It wasn't made by me, but this took around 1000 pictures! (Animated movies like Finding Nemo, Frozen, and The Lego Movie are all made by Stop Motion Animation, an app for free.)

I felt isolated when my friends told me that I hadn't come to football training, and for that I hadn't been picked for the school football team. I felt very sad. I couldn't go to training because I was sick. But my teacher still put me on the list a few hours later, and I was so happy when my friends told me that, and the were happy for me. I didn't feel isolated anymore. And we were even happier when we won the inter-school disrict tournament, with me being the school's U-12 first team goalkeeper! Wow! I was feeling great! I also got picked for my district football team U-12! My friends were really happy for me. I was so happy myself. That's when a bad thing can suddenly turn into a good thing.

Hello. For any comments on this topic, please message me privately. This is my IFIW - I Felt Isolated When... Last week, over Spring Break, I broke my right leg. Being in a full leg cast, I was in a wheel chair at school. At Recess, I couldn't do much and I was sad on Monday. My two best friends, Sara and Alix, were usually always there for me, but not that time. I was sitting in the wheel chair helpless at Recess and they went onto the play set, the tall rocks, and the track - everywhere I couldn't go to. The only thing I did was telling everyone how I broke my leg. Everyone was signing it - even those who I had no idea who they were - except Alix and Sara. I knew they were talking about me - bad things. They knew I couldn't go to them and ask why. They have stayed away from me, gone to places I cannot, and have talked behind my back. I have friends, but I'm not the fanasty playing type - I like to walk and talk. Sara and Alix were usually the ones I did that with. I felt all alone and I watched them see me and walk away; backs towards me. Even when my leg is healed and I can walk, I doubt it will be much different. All my friends have turned their backs on me; I'm not sure if I'm ready for another one.
