Success Happy - Tell me, is your life harder than mine?

Tell me, is your life harder than mine?

Before you answer this, think really deep, and I don't want you to answer if you hurt yourself intentionally like cutting yourself. I am Robert. I am 14 and was born February 11, 1995. I currently live in Bradenton,FL. I am in high school, to be exact, the 9th grade; a freshman. My life is revolving around many issues that sit on a balance between Life, Death, and Confusion. Let me start with my health issues so you can understand the detail of me. I have IBS, Irritable bowel syndrome. Feel free to open a new tab up and search it on Google. If your read the IBS article posted by Google health, it shows the symptoms of it and what happens. I feel very stressful everyday. I get to the point where I just want to quit on life. If you read my questions (please read them before answering), I have more than those problems. Sadly, I have no one to go to. Ever. I've never had a real friend but one, and he fights for America in Afghanistan. I can't reveal anything about who he is, but let me tell you something, and please anti-war believers, shut you damn mouth before you talk about who gives you freedom because you surely sit around not doing anything while enjoying your life with no worries. Anyway, trust me when I say life gets even more depressing when you have IBS, a close friend who can lose his life anytime any day, family issues, life or death, or making friends. I have no one to talk to about this and so I think you should tell me, was your life harder than mine? People just come up to me everyday saying I don't do anything for them and that makes me sick because I always buy things for people. And most of the time, people pick on me in Marching Band personally. Like I said, my life is very complicated. I've already missed 15 school days, I was hospitalized, and oh hell believe me when I say the world is a messed up place. I'm sorry if I didn't go into too much detail.

Yeah, My life sucks, It hard when your trying to *Fit in* in High School with the other people.
yes it is waaaaaaaaay worse, ibs isn't even that bad it's not like life threatening or anything it just hurts.
no its not you have my pity
wat is this. i dont even
does it matter. i dont feel bad for you, sorry. theres always someone whos got it a lot worse then you you need to be thankful your alive and you have a computer and a home you sound like a spoiled little 14 year old kid who thinks just because hes sick the world should feel sorry for him . my life gets to be 10x harder then yours and you don't see me complaining asking people to feel bad for me. your sick and youve got tons of people feeling sorry for you already why are you on yahoo asking for more? people like you piss me off. grow up and get a reality check. go try living without food and water and having the problems you do now try living knowing when your going to die, maybe in a month maybe tomorow . try being a slave in another country or being used for sex and being sold to people by your "owner" , or coming home everyday and being beaten by your parents because they tell you what a horrible child you are then getting pregnant at 10 years old. you don't even know what a hard life is.
My life isn't as hard as yours, true. But there are people out there in Africa and Sri Lanka who have harder lives than any of us on Y!A. So be grateful for what you have and count your blessings. You were put on this earth for a reason; don't just throw it all away under the guise of depression.
My wife of call it eight years and two children was pregnant by another man when I got back from a year in Iraq, in which I was shot, killed people, and was in a plane crash. When I came home, I stood on an empty parade field while my brother in arms ran to their families and children. I wanted to get back on the plane and spend the rest of my life at War.
wow.
personally, dont get mad at me for saying this or anything, however in my opinion, i think your looking for attention right now. What is the point in posting this? its almost like your bragging that your life isnt great. Im not ganna lie, i have friends in simliar positions, some worse, however they dont go around posting things such as this. Forgive me if i seem rude or anything, but im speaking my mind, just as you are.
Hi Robert. Don't let your world be defined by grade school. I had as tough of challenges as you and I went on to graduate college and live a good life. Your friend in Afghanistan .. I have the utmost respect for that person.
no u lie is worse then mine and for that i say that i am sry for u
We're the same age. And I'm facing problems too. But, it's with my family. They expect too much from me (I'm the eldest daughter) My mom doesn't understand me at all. My siblings don't even give a damn about me. My dad . . . well, he's just there. You see, things like this are just a part of life. It's not like you'll die all of a sudden when you get a disease. Just think positive and be happy even if there's nothing to smile about. =]
Hi im kaytee. lets be best friends. oh and also i think that my answer is best. only because people saying wow im sorry your life sucks so much really isnt gonna make it better. im making an effort to improve your friend problem.. (: sooo. how bout it.
Unfortunately I can say YES my life has been harder than yours....but I"m a Survivor* and keep on Smilin*=everyday!* no matter what gets thrown my way, and YES i also have IBS which can be dibilitating at times to say the least......but YOU Too have to be strong willed* and you can get through anything* The ppl that pick on you in Marching Band, just ignore. Easier said then done I know..but just try. Tis not worth the stress and aggrivation to trigger you IBS*... Can you not talk to your guidance counseller at school about some support for your health issues /life in general* Sorry you dont have family or friends to turn to* but Never Give Up* Just keep on puttering away, and as I always say......Keep on Smilin...there are worse ppl out there than myself..........ppl on their death bed, wishing /fighting for their next breath.......I have two legs , two arms, and a strong heartbeat* Hang in there...and be what you want to be, but dont ever be a quitter* Hugs*
I definitely have felt your pain, and I think I might have something wrong with my digestive system as well (scorpios usually do) and all I have to say is keep your hope, from your heart I can tell you're a great person and you have great potential in this messed up world. try your hardest to not let people who put you down get to you, because in reality when someone makes fun or points out anothers flaw they are really pointing out their own. sorry if that doens't really help a lot but I just want to say I'll be your friend any time you want, you can email me whenever to talk about whatever, peace and love homie :)<3333
im very sorry that you feel this way, but let me say this, does your high school have a guidance counselor? or even ask to speak someone on your next drs visit, but having an illness can make life difficult, your friend is very brave and you probably miss him very much but i know you have it in you to find one person who can call a friend, maybe theres someone in marching band who is actually nice. dont let other people get to you, even the best of us have been picked on and teased, i was overweight during highschool and got teased constantly, but it gets better! you just have to hold ur head high and be confident that you ARE an awsome person!
life is never easy, it they way we handle those tough times, we can make the gloomest of days seem bright and happy, as long as we try to. stay optimistic, laugh at lifes troubles and take consolation in that everyone has their own problems however others are better at disguising them. Good luck and take care :)
Well Robert, I'm not going answer your question exactly but I do have something that I want to tell you. I feel so terribly sorry that you feel that you have no one to talk to and to really lean on... but there is always someone... God. Now, I don't know what your beliefs and religion are but if you say a prayer to God and truly have faith that your situation can change, he will do it for you. Just try it... you have nothing to lose. Just have faith and things will turn out all right.
I think you are feeling too sorry for yourself. You should spend more time doing community service or whatever you are passionate about. You think your life is bad because it is the shoes you stand in. I have a friend in the army, I struggle with problems and so does many other people. But I am also the one to help my friend who keeps cutting herself, I help find her when she went missing. I help my school and community when I can. I am sorry about your IBS, but you can make a difference even with all the troubles you have in your life. Make someone smile, and it will make you smile too.
ok if you spent as much time trying to make friends as you do typing on yahoo answers you would have a better life and dude come on seriously you know its sad when you get picked on by bandys
omg i feel sorry fo you because your life is worst then mine
I looked at some of your other questions. Sure things are bad for you right now, but think about this... ALOT of people have it hard in high school. But you be glad because high school doesn't last forever. You'll get out of there eventually. You can either choose to wallow in self-pity now, or you can look to the future, towards brighter days. And work as hard as you can to finish school. It's up to you. Your only 14 after all. You have many years ahead of you.
Man i im very sorry for your life your seems so miserable and i am very sorry and if people keep saying roud things to you show them whose the boss if they keep annoying your why should buy stuff them? you are already going through a lot of pain and misery tell them all about if they really care and who gives man they you do nothing form them wtf your not there servant and next time they offer you something say sorry i dont want they because your gonna start ssaying i have to give you stuff back and dont be afraid to tell a counsellor or a teacher or even the principal or if they piss you off just say shut up softly and walk away that will reallly shut them up. once agin i amreally sorry for you and i hope i helped:)
And i thought my life was tough_ no job_ live in my car_na i live in a house but i have no job
i'm so sorry. my life is hard sometimes, but i don't have to deal with any of this, i hope everything gets better for you, i really do. i'm 13 years old but i know what its like to feel like nothing is going right and life is a living hell. i really do. i'll pray for youu i hope your able to find friendss feel free to email me if you need someone to talk to. christiinicoleexx3@yahoo.com im so sorry.
Mine isn't, no. But there are people with cancer, aids, children they can barely afford to feed, people in abusive relationships, people who are deaf, mute, blind, people who are paralyzed, people who are sterile, etc... This isn't to belittle your problems, because I don't doubt that your problems make your life a living Hell for you. It just is. On a separate note, I'm proud of our soldiers.
I was Diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Height of my highschool wrestling potential.
i'm not sure what kind of answer you are actually looking for...do you want reassurance that your life IS hard or that it's actually not that bad? the truth is that everybody has a hard life, whether it's problems they have created themselves or a situation they were born into, etc... remember: life isn't easy and i don't think it's supposed to be. if it was, then what would the point be? here is what i do to keep things in retrospect for myself: i have a question mark necklace that reminds me that you never know what is going to happen today, tomorrow, or ever. if things are going good for you, it reminds you that things could change in an instant - you could get sick, injured, lose someone close to you, etc...and that you should be thankful for what you have. but if things are horrible, you know that tomorrow could be the best day...you just never know what's going to happen and you should always be hopeful. so stay strong, know that your life IS hard and your problems are unique, but everyone is dealing with their own stress in life. good luck
oh sweetie...don't give up ok. this is a hard time in your life. high school sucks for most people who aren't popular or good at things that other people are good at. i don't have IBS. but i do understand how cruel kids can be in high school. im 21 and in high school i didn't fit in at all. i hated it. everything about my life was crap i wanted to give up too many times. just push threw it hun. be strong and ignore what people say about you. be you and only you. im sorry things are tough for you right now really. im not going to lie to you things in life aren't always easy. but there is good moments in life things to remember that will weigh out all the bad crap. hope this cheered you up a bit
sounds ruff..... i wouldnt say its harder than every1 elses life tho. i no its not wat u wanna hear. but we all have trials we have to face. thats the point of life. to keep moving fowrd. to keep pushing thro the hard times. life is an up hill battle. for every1. i have a theory. for every bad moment there will be a equally good one. and vise versa. so even tho things seem hard right now, there will be good times. and u no how some people seem to have perfect lifes? well the higher u climb the harder u fall. every1 falls. IBS is a struggle that can either brake u or make u. life is hard. death is peacful, easy. a true hero lives life, and takes all the hard times and uses them to make themselves stronger.
So if this about people feeling bad for you? I know you can't help that you have IBS and I do feel bad that you have it, but otherwise the other stuff is easily helped. Go meet new people and have fun, find new friends, quit marching band and find a good stress reliever. I'm 17 and last year my foot got a crush injury (ending up losing a big toe, still need surgery for my 2nd toe and my foot is permanently bruised and slightly swollen yet). I missed about 4 months of school and had to make it up in two weeks. I ended up having to a drop class because I had a d-bag teacher. Then I had to spend my whole last high school summer (before college) in physical therapy learning to walk again. I still can't walk 100% and I sure as hell can't run. Did I mention I was in a wheelchair for 3 months and crutches for the rest? There's my bawww story and I know for sure there are tons of people who have had it way worse than me and I never tried to spend too much time feeling sorry for myself because of that. I wish the best for you and smoke some marijuana, it's a savior.
No, my life is most definetly not harder than your. you do have it pretty bad. but i am telling you now, (as a friend) that people like you, are the people that make life worth living. Cause a lot of people don't see how much they have in front of them. They're always complaining about how stupid their lives are, and how much they're NOT worth living, when in reality, everyone is put here for a reason. You're a very strong kid, i can feel it. And i did infact look up the whole IBS, because in all honesty i had no clue what it was. But now that i do, i'm thankful i don't have it, and i'm thankful that i now have someone to turn on, if and when i have any questions about. Keep living your life to the fullest, and screw the people that make fun of you in marching band. They have to face the fact someday, you're just better then they are, and you learn faster. Good luck! :) Ohh, adn i am more than thankful for the people who fight for America, and it's on an everyday basis, that i am praying to a higher power, thanking those people fighting for us that aren't, who are just sitting on our a$$'s doing nothing but complaining all the damn time. I infact, have an ex boyfriend who is happily fighting for us right now. I miss him dearly. But i know that he is doing what he's always dreamed of.
u live is hard but built confident on urself althought not easy to do so remember chid hood time how spend time laughing and smile although the rest of them are sad do it know if can have visit to ur friend country try to change ur life style maybe it can make u happy
look hun, life is hard for everyone in difforent ways. Just, some peoples lives are harder than others. my brothers in the marine corps so, i somwhat know what your going through in that feild. but when your feeling upset, i want you to read this: everyone has a meaning in this world. at the moment that meaning might not be so clear, however, everyone will find their meaning. and it doesnt just come to you. you have to find it and decide for yourself that its your meaning. your meaning will sometimes be your sancuary, or your demise. you make that choice. it can help you, or hurt you. your the only one who gets to choose. nobody can choose for you. you have your whole life to decide! so dont rush yourself for an end now. think about things, and love what you have. love what you are. love who you are. if you can love yourself then thats when you can love others. without love for yourself, you cant feel love for anything or anyone else. and your impoortant. everyone is very important in some way. there will be people that dislike you, however there will als obe those people who like you. there will always be someone who cares about you. no matter what. sometimes things may be difficult, but there will always be a new day with better things. and as long as someone cares for you, just one person even, then you have something to live for. and you have no reason to want to die. Be happy to be alive. dont regret a second!
Robert. I've had a messed up life. Pretty messed up. But I have no clue how it is to have IBS. Please DO NOT recommend taking your life. You probably didn't, I'm not saying you did, just giving you a smart tip. Life is hard I know. But your only 14. These issues you have now, aren't going to compare to the issues you'll have when your older. And I also only have one true friend, but she surely isn't fighting for our freedom. All you can do for your friend is keep in touch, and pray to "your" god, that he survives this "war''. If you'd like to, feel free to YahooIM me. Or email me if you'd like to talk. I'd love to help.
Well I'm Creg, Im 14 years old born in Dec.3, 1994, I live in Oakland Ca. Im in 8th grade, and well this years been tough. I got H1N1 twice, Ive missed 2 weeks of school. My parents recently got divorced, and my dad moved to Texas. I have to fly back and fourth just to see both my parents. My family got split up, my oldest brother moved to NY, my older sisters with me in Cali my twin brothers in Texas my lil sisters at Texas my lil bro is here with me my two twin lil bros got split up. Yes, my family has 2 sets of twins, and its really hard. So what if I have friends, my family got money so Im not sure if theyre friends or users for my money. My bestfriends brother left this world RIP dante:(. And Im slowly losing my bestfriends in Sacramento. Well not as bad as yours but pretty shitty
im a freshman in high school too...and high school is either one of the best times of ur life or one of the worst. u say the world is already a messed up place, but the only person who can make it better is YOU and ur attitude towards life. also, buying stuff for ppl = ppl using u for the things u buy them, so you really can't buy friendship or whatever it is ur trying to do. what is it exactly that makes ppl pick on YOU? think about that. well about your friend...im sorry to hear about that and its sad how many ppl die to protect our freedom. but if u wanna make more friends, your take on life can't be so...pessimistic. yeah its bad, but who really enjoys those awkward teen years? out of at least a thousand ppl at high school, can you really say that not a single person can connect with you? share the same point of view as u? quitting on life is not an option if u wanna make life better. well im sorry if my answer doesnt make sense, but i tried. good luck...and i hope that everything works out for you :)
alright I am 19 and i am stationed at Ft Bragg 3rd special forces group we are deploying in january when you are young whenevery bad thing that happens seems like the end of the world my mom left back to russia when i was 9 i barely remember her and my father kicked me out when I was 15 I was homeless for about 6 months but got a job worked until I was 18 and joined the army I felt like straight shit when my dad kicked me out I wanted to kill my self but I didn't just keep moving forward get a girlfriend look on the bright side you have a home parents who love you a bed food you really dont think about those things when they are gone. My life is not the greatest but Im in charge of it and I won't let it go down the drain my vision is 200/20 my glassed are +7.50 I cant see shit with out my glassed but I dont give up or quit and you should not either one step at a time and you will get through everything life throws at you
Well, I was emotionally abused throughout childhood by my father who constantly told me I wasn't worth as much as my brother because I was female and that I was not supposed to have a good education or go to good schools or play the sports I loved because I was female. When I tried to play with other kids & my brother he'd force me to stop and make me come in and wash dishes- He said because girls are supposed to wash dishes and not play outside. I hated him and was pretty sad growing up. When I turned 15 I started getting pain in my leg and wanted to see a doctor, but my dad said I was just being "whiny and stupid. There's nothing wrong with you!" When my brother got sick he took him to the doctor right away. I was a minor so I couldn't go to the doctor without dad's permission. After a year the pain got so bad I would beak down sobbing in school so a teacher got me to a doctor. The MRI showed a Tumor. It was cancerous and because I didn't go to the doctor earlier the cancer began to spread and they had to remove a chunk of my left knee to save my life. My dad NEVER apologied to me. In fact when I told him he should've took me to the doctor his response was to put his hand on my shoulder while he smiled and said GO TO HELL. Even after my surgeries when his family insurance was going to drop me he didn't even try to get me more insurance even though the doctors told him I had a high chance of reaccurrance...but he covered my brother who never had anything more serious than a cold all the way up to age 30. I moved out of the house at 17...got work to pay for college...When I got out I worked my butt off and started my own company. Made more money than all the other people in my family combined by the age of 25. When my Dad found out how much I was making he wanted to come back into my life because he wanted one of his kids to pay for his retirement someday. Since his perfect little son with all the college education that his daddy paid for still became only a drug addict. My response? I sent good ol' dad an email telling him that if he ever contacted me again I'll slap harrassment charges and the next time he'll not hear from me but from my lawyer. That was 10 years ago. Don't know if he's dead or alive, Don't care. :) 5 years ago the cancer that didn't show up since highschool came back and more of my leg muscles had to be removed, but it felt really good to be able to go to the doctor on the first sign of pain and not be called stupid or a liar. After the reaccurrance I lost everything- My fancy apartment, my job, my social life... I had to start from scratch again after treatment. So basically - Sometimes setbacks in life are actually gifts in disguise. If it weren't for my health issues I might never have truly understood what an evil person my dad was and I might have kept him & his poison in my life and never have been as successful as I have. You can't become a success when there's too much negativity around you. Millions of people have gone through hard times in their lives and many have gone through much harder than I have, but you have to stay positive. Because the truth is that you don't know what tomorrow will bring.
Im gonna tell you that all of that sucks, but its not the end of the world. Youre 14, and yeah you may have IBS, but so do a lot of people. It sucks, yes, but at least its not cancer or something. As for youre friend in Afghanistan, that is something stressful. One of my close friends is a Marine and has been both there and Iraq. He came home with a few bullet wounds, and every day you wonder how they are and when theyre coming home. I cant comment on family issues or anything like that since I dont know the details, but again, its not the end of the world. Everyone has problems fitting in, especially in High School. Everyone picks on everyone else, and it will go on for the next three years, if not into your late 20's. You will get used to it. There are people who have it worse, which may or may not make you feel better. I'll tell you know that Im 21, have a 1 1/2 year old son, can barely pay for rent/electric/food, an estranged druggie father and to top it all off have a possibly serious medical problem with no health insurance to go to a doctor. I'm also a chronic self mutilator, not by choice, but by disease and addiction. I was hospitalized when I was your age, and still fight everyday to keep myself sane. However, I fond something to be happy for everyday. Keep in mind that no matter whats going on, you can always find something to help you feel better. Whether you find something to be grateful for everyday, someone to talk to(theres some great communities on the web that you can talk to other people having the same problems) or even just looking at someone else and saying "I have this and they dont, I should be lucky". I recently found a site, www.recoveryourlife.com that has been so wonderful for me. It is more geared to people with some sort of psychological disorder, you will be able to find a discussion board that applies. It helps to know that there are other people feeling the way you do, or going through what you are. They also have a nice list of distraction techniques, something to get your mind off of the bad and back into a good place. I hope this helps you, and if you ever need someone to talk to, you are always welcome to message me.
I have three words for you and they are I'm So Sorry. I wanted to cry for you! Isn't it funny how we think that we have it so hard and then we read stories like yours and see how stupid our problems are. You want to hear my problems? I"m 15 to start off with. (sophomore in hs) My parents have been on the verge of divorce for almost a year now. I found out myself a few days after christmas when i found my mom reading a book she wouldn't let me see the title to. It may have been wrong but i'm glad i did this. I went through her drawers, knowing that something was up, and I found a book called "The Good Divorce." I soon found out that my mom wanted to divorce my dad. ever since, my family life has been strained and awkward between my parents. i always knew they were different than most parents, they acted weird towards each other, but i couldn't imagine something like this could happen. almost a year later, things haven't gotten better. we're at a stand still. my mom's rude to my dad, my dad is so hurt. my mom and dad can't get a divorce because of all the complications. i assume because of us 4 kids. my little brother and sister don't like me. they are always picking fights everytime i'm around them. my best friend's being a selfish brat right now. (long story) my english teacher wants me to get a B in her stupid class, (another long story) and my grades are so much to me. i HAVE to have straight a's. i will be completely crushed if i don't because i have worked so hard in school for so long. i'm also really annoyed with my height and weight. I always have been and now I just feel so stressed about it. I'm 5'0 at 15 years old and my weight is much too low. I'm so skinny! That combined with my height makes me so small. i hate it. ohh and my dad recently lost his job. so that's pretty much the big problems in my life. comparing our lives i see that yours is way worse than mine and i pity you. sometimes i feel so betrayed because everyone else seems to have such amazing lives that are all in order. they aren't short, have parents that love each other, have good bffs.. everything that's wrong in my life, is right in theirs, it seems. it's easy to forget that EVERYONE has their problems. it's easy to forget how blessed we are until we read stories worse than ours like yours'. the world is a messed up place. why some are blessed more than others is going to forever be a mystery. it's a sad world, but it's never time to give up willingly. it's never time to quit. we've only got one life, and no matter how sucky it may be, that's the one we've got, so we've got to live it the best we can. It is going to be hard at times, but we need to live for the good moments. give life a chance. it just might surprise you on how good it can get. your life may be pretty bad, but there are millions who are way way worse than even yours! It may not seem fair, but what can you do. complain? that won't help anything. have a positive attitude even when it's tough. just live life as best as you can and that will be enough.
I feel for you, man. I understand how it is to have a shitty life, trust me. I personally dont suffer from anything. I did have a slight case of PTSD after my first tour in Iraq, but nothing serious and I got over it. I was born in Alaska at the age of 3 and my mom and my dad split up. My dad then took me back to his home country of Ethiopia which is pretty shitty and I didnt come back to the States until I was 14 years old...your age. I didnt see my mother or my brothers and sisters again until I was 15 from 3 years old. We didnt have running water, we didnt have constant power, we didnt have FDA to inspect the food, so I have had tapeworms, malaria, cholera, you name it and I've dealt with it more than likely. I remember walking 15-20 miles just to get to school and then walking that after school to get home and then pick up the buckets and go get water from about 2 miles away and carry it back home. We left because a civil war broke out and my dad lost some friends and family and I remember him telling me it was too dangerous to stay here. I remeber walking far and long and staying with people I didnt know for a day and then walking again to another village and hiding from the militias. I remember it as clear as day. After making our way all the way to Saudi Arabia and staying there for a while, my dad told me we were going to America. A month later we arrived in New York and continued to Charleston, SC. We only had $300 dollars when we got here, so we looked for help and we moved into what you would call the projects at age 14. I then reunited with my family again at the age of 15. I tried to fit in but it was difficult, because I was from a different background and culture, but I tried hard and the same year, I got kicked out of school and I was put in juvenile detention for some things I shouldnt have done. I served 7 months and when I got out, I left home to attend Job Corps and get my GED and a trade. After graduating I decided I wanted to join the Marine Corps. At age 17 I went to boot camp, and attended SOI and became an 0331, a machine gunner. I went on to serve one tour in Afghanistan and 2 tours in Iraq during the height of the conflict. I lost a lot of people close too me, but they will always be here with me and close to me. I got out when I was 21 and returned overseas as a contractor twice and I'm getting ready to do it a third time on the 16th of this month. I have now purchased my own home in FL at 23, been accepted into GA Tech and own 2 businesses that are doing quite well now even in this slow economy. I have met a woman that is everything I could ever want in a woman and we are expecting our first kid. My life was crap, but you know what, what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. And besides look at me now. There are people whose lives have been good, but they dont have a thing to show for it. Be strong, trust me, life will turn out just fine, you just have to pave your own path. Know what you want, and go get it. Dont let anyone stand in your way. Seriously, no one. Wow, I've never talked to anyone about my life, I guess I just needed to talk. Sorry if you feel I overshadowed your problems. You're the ones with them now, not me. Also I didnt mean to open up to you like you were Barbara Walters.
People just come up to me everyday saying I don't do anything for them and that makes me sick because I always buy things for people. you cannot have relationships based on gifts. bribery. there are hundres of MILLIONS of people with worse lives than you. go out and try to make friends. it's not as hard as you think. fresh-soph year of highschool i had next to no friends, and did absolutley nothing on weekends...but i got out there, got over my shyness, and made tons of new friends that like me, and enjoy hanging out with me. sorry, but it's your fault for not having friends. it's obviously your personality. the only people without friends at my school are mean people...that or they are INCREDIBLY shy. based on your essay, you sound like an egotistical prick.
no its not, im really sorry to say. my life can be tough but atm yours really sucks. but dont worry keep your head up! itll get better. seriously stay strong!
Okay I'm only going to say this once: Your FOURTEEN YEARS OLD your only in your first year of high-school! Everybody's freshman year sucks, it's what high-school is about. What you need to do is stop looking for pity and DO something about your situation. High school messes a lot of people up being unpopular and/or having no friends right now may seem to be the very worst kind of fate but I promise you it will change if you make an effort. And once you get out of school I promise you'll look back on the whole thing and see it wasn't as big a deal as you made it out to be. You have a friend in Afganastan? So do a lot of us. I just attended my cousin's funeral, he died there a week before he was supposed to come home. And let me tell you something about those of us who no not believe in the war, not all of us are anti-soldier, we're fighting to bring people like my cousin and your friend home so before you make ignorant judgments do your research. Enjoy our lives with no worries do we? Grow up a bit before you start making assumptions like that. Yes you have IBS, well I have Endometriosis, Sideropenic Anemia (look those up) not to mention I fought anorexia and was raped when I was 16 years old. In total I'd say I've missed a year of school due to health issues. I've managed to survive to 20, you will too. Yes your disease is painful and stressful; so are mine. Your situation isn't perfect, neither was mine. You learn to deal with it, and it is going to be rough but sitting back and wallowing in self pity will not help. Is my life harder then yours? I'm not going to answer that because that's not a question that deserves and answer. Why are you comparing your life to others? No two people are the same, no two diseases are the same, no two lives are the same. And it wont help you if I launch a debate over which one of us has a shittier time of it. You'll be surprised how much better it all gets after high-school. Best of luck with that.
I know how you are feeling. I've literally been there myself. I also have IBS. And I also have friends and family who are fighting in Afghanistan. Now I'm in college and let me tell you; things get harder. Sure. You might be depressed about it at this point in time. But after a while you get used to it. You might not like the fact that you're getting used to it but you do get used to it. I feel for your friend in Afghanistan. I truely do. And I'm sorry that you're depressed about all this crap. back in school I was the girl that nobody cared about and everybody decided that they wanted to pick on just because they were the teensiest bit bored. I'm in college now. While the whole thing does get harder. It does get better. College is great. College work is harder but it's ok because I know that I can do it. By the way if people are saying that you don't do anything for them remind them of what they do for you. Now things might seem bad but the sun will come up tomorrow. I can't tell you that everything is going to be perfect because it's not. But things will get to be barable. But in my opinion I believe that my life has been harder. If you wish to know more just email me. And if you're looking for a friend; you just found one. I'll be your friend. Just add me.
my life sux too... im adopted and lost so many people in my family. my birth dad wants me dead. my birth mom... my own birth mom abandoned me and the worst thing happend.... i found my sister on facebook... and everything has been down hill i have depression. i am 1% bipolar. my gpa that ive only seen 5 times bcuz i just met him 3 months ago has had ALS LUWGERIGS and wont live after christmas.. i already have a close bond with him. none of most of my birth family likes me and doesnt accept me bcuz i didnt grow up with them. its how life is. i have been hospitalized too bcuz a guy pushed me down a few flights of stairs at an abandond building. i was in an abusive relationship for 3 years. life is hell... death is heaven ... dont kill yourself.. thats forsure... in different ways everyones life can b harder pluss i suport 3 children each of them are either from kenya nicaragua and uganda ... i suport them so they have a better life but before i suported them they lived in shacks with no parents no food no clean water and their shacks were huts made from mud and straw. they could of been dead. what im saying is that everyone can say they have a bad life according to them so even if my adoption story seems so wonderful bcuz i was saved from my birth family aint so glamorous.. yet my sister say im the lucky one... but i went through more than she did bcuz she wasnt abandond. so anyone can have a hard life... who is to judge you and your life besides God .... yours and my life are both hard hope this helps hannah quinn
