Answer 1

As they say, when you're born, you're wet, hungry and cold, and it goes downhill from there.
This is what life looks like:
most of grandchildren lose their grandparents by the age of 25;
almost half of kids doesn't live with the same set and number of parents they originally had
most of people move out of the house by the age of 21 and see their parents only on big holidays (and if you're especially unlucky, one of both of them will die before you turn 25)
friends always move away,
the ones you love get sick with terrible deseases or become drinkers and drug users,
boyfriends get girlfriends pregnant and then run,
spouses cheat on each other.
Life deals crappy hands to all of us, none of them identical, and who can say which one is crappier?
Here's the good news:
your 4.0 is your ticket to independence - college, great job, success
you keep making friends throughout your life, and you also never completely lose the old ones
you're still to discover that special person who will love you (probably more than one, actually)
you cannot solve other people's problems but you'll finally realize that those are not YOUR problems, and if their lives are messed up doesn't mean yours has to be, too,
you are still to find out how sweet the freedom tastes when you live on your own and don't have to put up with crap from anybody

Fnally - almost every teen hates life at some point but you rarely see somebody in their 20s doing so, and even less - in their 30s... We learn how to enjoy life more and more as time progresses. This year might not be that good but the next one will be better, and the next one - better still. Your age is the only limiting factor now, but that's gonna change, ya know :)

Answer 2

I wish you had contact info up on your profile. I could tell you about my brother's family. My brother had four kids, two autistic. The littlest, the son, died just last year at age four. And there is a lot more going on in the family. Some of it is too personal to tell the whole nation.

Bravo to you for keeping a 4.0!!! My 13 year old neice is letting the stress get her grades down, in spite of the fact she is a brilliant child.

Are you going to Alateen? You will certainly know you aren't alone when you go there!

Answer 3

im 23 now, my brother is autistic,when i was a kid my dad and his girlfriend are alcholics that id spend every summer with, my moms ex was a bipolar artist, her new husband is god to her, i had just found out i was pregnant, attempted suicide when i was 12, never knew my grandparents except one she died on thanksgiving day when i was 14, when i was 17 i had a breakdown of some kind and started seeing a therapist who said i had generalised depression, anxiety, and mood swing dissorder, i married at 16, had second daughter at 19, third at 21, pregnant again, all girls, still married, last year i was diagnosed with bipolar dissorder. add in that money is tight, and a few minor bad things that everyone tends to go through at one time or another and you got my life...perfect drama pacage huh?


i do not regret my marriage or my kids...they are the only part of my life that has resembled normal to me...i love them very much, despite how hard its been...

i truly hope things get better for you. i will say i am proud of you for your efforts with school...i quit school early, but i got honors on my ged when i took it...there have been lots of good things in my life too, its easier to see the bad sometimes though...try to focus on what is good in your life...anything, but take care in giving yourself for momentary escape, it hurts more in the long run...i will strongly recomend to stay far away from drugs, or sex...they have a stronger pull of temptation when your down, when you feel like youd give anything to take away the hurt and pain...

Answer 4

No, you're definetly not the only one out there. You just need some encouragement. Simply keep up your good grades and behavior and you'll surely make a huge difference in your life and that of your family. All the best
