Answer 1

When life gets yucky try to remember that nothing ever stays the same. Life changes all the time....sometimes good sometimes it's hell . What you learn is that if you get through the hellish times you come out of it a better stronger person.

You and your mom have gotten through 2 awful years but you did it. Hold on and love each other and you'll both come out of this better people.

Answer 2

Been there. You truly have my sympathy.

My suggestion is to give it a new go this year; take on the clubs and sports you genuinely enjoy anyway, and try to focus on subjects in school that will help you with your eventual escape, such as science, math and computers and anything you're talented in. If your school has a newspaper or a radio station, go for it. Communicate and find others who like to do the same. The situation can be made better, but it's not likely to be easy until you have a mentor. Find out if your school has a mentoring program; it can help a lot.

Time will pass. How you come out at the other end is very much up to you.

Answer 3

I've been where you are and it was just recently, but like someone else said on this post, just give it to Jesus. I prayed and believed, others prayed for me. I started writing in a journal and I started reading books and getting out of the house. Think positive thoughts and stay away from negative people, music, shows, etc. I also started watching and listening to music and shows that are really positive. I wanted to give up so bad and I didn't and I am so happy I didn't and my situation was horrible, but it brought me to a place of understanding and now I know more and can help more. You can also try counseling with a good therapist, because if you still feel bad after 2 yrs, you might be depressed, it's not your fault if you are, but if you are, you will feel so wonderful after you get help. I know that everything will work out for you, if you need any resources or have any other questions, please don't hesitate to email me and ask. Blessings!

Hey.

I can't say I completely understand but there is something I'd like to say to you as a teenager. Something someone said to me, who goes out of their way with kindness:

God doesn't put something in front of you that he doesn't - mean - to be there. He never gives you more then you can handle. And that, my friend, is the beauty of it!
When you have the wisdom and knowledge to have overcome your hardships (whatever they may be) you'll have the ability to help the less fortunate do the same. Just from experience, all right?

You say you're 'kind of' shy. Let me tell you, if you're sick and tired of that, there's still hope. Hate it so much, that you'll break through. Don't give up because it's going to get better. And gradually you'll see that you have courage. I was sick of life myself, when God gave me the most beautiful moment of my life. Well it did contain a car accident and a dozen stitches but I found my Hero. A Paramedic, and I'm more then proud of him. I met him for 8 minutes - flat. But he gave me a little gift of integrity, courage and strength. I'll always try to make him proud.

However, something my teacher evidently, strongly believes in is that 'it can always be worse.' Always. And he's right, it can. Be thankful for what you have, you may not have it tomorrow.

If you want to talk, have someone who listens then feel free to e-mail me: [e-mail]

If you don't want that then the following is a website I can refer anyone to. The volunteers are informative and understanding: http://www.youthinbc.com/

Be good, stay safe, take care, good luck and believe in yourself. Also believe in what you believe in, all right? It's life after all :)

If you have time to think about how happy you are then you're not busy enough. I'm pretty sure when people had to fight harder to survive, depression wasn't so rampant. So with all this time you have you really have two choices. You can give up, or you can conquer your life and everything you do. But since you're gonna die one day anyways you might as well keep your self very busy and see what can come out of this life. Change is hard when you don't change with it. So ride this giant wave called life and make it count. Wether or not you succeed is irrelevant. Just do something. Anything. Just don't sit around thinking about why everything sucks.

Answer 6

i'm not trying to be an asshole, but to put it bluntly: turn on any news channel and watch it for 10 minutes. the people of iraq now lead pretty shitty lives--even with all that "freedom." the point is there are BILLIONS of people who have it worse off than you. so much worse, in fact, that it is truly impossible to wrap your head around it, i.e. the absolute poverty in africa, or most other countries in the world. it's as incomprehensible as trying to grasp the concept of infinity. once your able to put it into perspective it becomes a little easier to deal with. doesn't it?

furthermore, neither jesus nor anyone else is going to make you happy. the only person who can do that is you. the volunteering thing is a good idea. but, as the saying goes in d.c., "if you want a true friend get a dog." i suggest adopting a pet--they're in surplus.

Answer 7

You have gone down into a pit before it rises into a moutain and here are two quotes for you, "Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising everytime we fall" "If you do nothing you will be nothing" but also all the good things in life, if they are truly the best that is going to happen you must work for it. I know how you feel personally. I just never had the liberty of being able to move out of state. Here is also another word of advice, Stop being lazy that is what you are being you are tired of life and you havent even lived even half of life, get up and work for what you want. You want friends put yourself into a random conversation and make friends, doesnt matter if you are shy DO IT. That is my advice, follow it if you want.

Answer 8

i Know You Might Want to Hear This But The Only Way I Was Ever Happy Is When I Excepted Jesus Into My Life Because Smile Jesus Loves You Works For Me And If You Try It Can Work For You. i am not one of those make believe people that are always happy and cheery i am just saying being a christain can make you a little more happier about being alive ok.

Answer 9

#1.Take it to the Lord. He listens.
#2. Is there a youth group at your church?
#3. Invite your friend, and a couple of her friends, for a sleep-over (sanctioned / moderated by your mom, of course). Not sure how old you are but my daughter's into that stuff.
#4. Volunteer. Is there a food bank in your area? I put in a few hours a week. They can use your help, it feels great to help others and there are lots of great people there (all ages).

Hope some of this helps.

You are young and so many things can happen to you. Be careful who you give your heart and your body to. Be careful who your friends are and you will do well. Life truly is a box of chocolates and nothing ever stays the same though sometimes there are times when the bad part seems to last so long. Some day it will be a vague memory.
