if so, is it worth it to do something bad to make way for something good? or is that still wrong?

I'm n ot depressed, rather just being realistic. Think about all the things we have in this life. Competition, materialism, hate, diseases, accidents, problems, injustice, corruption, confusion, so many things, and in the end, no matter who you are, how much money you have, or where you live, you'd have to face some kind of hardship or another.

And in the end, we all lose our youth/vigor/looks, might get a disease, lose our friends/loved ones, and definitely die.

That's how many dollars later we paid for rent, cars, gas, food, clothes, so many other things we also didnt really need or want thanks to media/brainwashing/expectations of society, we probably had to fill social roles expected of us, or might live under a horrible government or deal with lies and bs, and what not.

I mean, is this life REALLY worth living?

Many people living today act as if they don't really like life, as they're miserable and what not.

I'm not glorifying death but, isn't this life crazy?

tell me what you really think and how i could make it better cause its for summer school and have to give 2maro .............................

Eights say “good bye” to there elementary school after the graduation and soon look forward to saying “hi” to high school. But are they really ready to step into a whole new life?

On July 26th at 7pm was when that was “it” for the Bernard eights. They had to go up the stage and get the certificate they were waiting for since grade 1. But as soon as the moment was there all of a sudden a lot of grade eights did not want to graduate. Was it because they were going to not see a lot if there friends? And that they will have to make new friends? Or was it because of the change it will be, academicly? The graduation had been a normal grad,
Although a lot og the graduates did not like it at all.

A girl had said that here friends and her had agreeded that the graduation was not exactly what they had imagened it to be. Another student had said

would be your thoughts? How do you put us, people, into perspective? Are we small? Are we the reason for everything you see? Would you want time to start again, so we could go on trying to catch up to it? Me, I am tired. I keep looking for a piece of mind I can't seem to find.

My school work requests that I state a theme for some short stories that I am reading but not all the stories seem to have a theme. Such as "The Monkey" (Stephen King), the story is about an adult man who finds a long lost toy monkey with his sons. The story explains a mysterious evil power that the monkey has that the man discovered in his youth. With the return of the monkey, evil begins to arise again until the man discards it in a lake.
As much as I love the story, I can't see any real theme to it. Am I simply not thinking deep enough or does the story really lack a universal theme?

I miss Tyler, Penfold, and the erstwhile BoobBoob
Are they absent on account of surfing for porn on Youtube?
Whatever the reason
It seems like treason
For them to skedaddle
They ought to be paddled.
Though they might not mind,
It would teach their hiney
That their duty to their minions
And their astute opinions
Are what makes this site right fine-ey.

In my pool of apple cider
A sugar cookie is my raft
Just dance the flame a random lighter
And breathe in the sweet smoke draft

There my problems seem so pale
Where trees are chocolates of dark brown
Just breathe in and exhale
And all day I'm upside down


Comments welcome

I have heard many people on Y!A claim that HP is unoriginal recycled garbage, but other than a few similarities to mytological stories, I can't think of anything I've read that made me say "Gee, JK Rowling must have copied the story of HP from this author." So, I would like to ask you people that claim HP is unorginal what your reasoning is. Thanks!
