Was there a single event that had a significant impact on your life? How did your upbringing shape you into the person you are now? Any meaningful experiences you want to talk about? Do you have any advice to offer from what you've learned?
heck, you can tell me your life story if you want! lol. I'm just curious.

Life kicking my a*s*s every f*u*c*k*i*n*g day.
I just thought that that was enough, then, I became a b*i*t*c*h, and it's been much better since then.

The death of my high school love definitely shaped my life. Oh my God, did it ever. I was convinced that eventhough he only saw me as a pal, if I loved him enough he'd fall madly in love w/ me and we'd become the couple of all couples. We'd get married after college, I'd raise his kids, he'd become a football star, and we would live happily ever after. Sadly that didn't happen. He commited suicide when we were 16. I was beyond devastated. My entire sophomore year is a blur of depression and tears. I kept thinking if I told him how I felt instead of hiding my feelings and being scared of rejection, he'd still be alive. I think that's why I am so open now. I tell my friends and family all the time I love them. Even when it's awkward, I just say it. My mom and dad are great. I'm daddy's little girl, when my friend died, my father was so attentive and he made me feel like a princess. My mom and I have not always been the best of friends, infact I often thought she didn't love me, but that has changed. I have grown to see she isn't as affectionate as some, but if I need her she always comes through for me. I am the sane, level headed person I am today because of my parents.
I needed to vent. Thanks for the points!

I went to the school of hard knox. I was the type of kid who had to learn things the hard way. Let's see, I moved out on my own when I was 17, so I had to quit school so I could pay my rent. I could barely afford to eat. I literally lived off of ramen noodles. That was all I could afford. My hair started falling out. My hair is better now. Had to go to the doctor though, he said I wasn't getting enough vitamins in my diet. Then I went from loser druggie boyfriend to loser druggie boyfriend. That was really tough. I had to work 2-3 jobs at a time just to make the bills and no extra.That went on for 5 years. I then met my now hubby. He is the absolute best thing that ever happened to me. He was my first non loser boyfriend. He said I could do better than what I had been doing. My life has been fantastic ever since. He is my hero. My advise would be to stay in school and go as far in school as you possibly can. Now a days, you have to have a college education to get anywhere in life. I really do believe that. If things haden't been so bad with my family I would have stayed in school and been as successful as possible. Other advise would be to keep truckin when things get bad. They could always be worse, much worse. Never judge anyone unless you have walked in there shoes. Cherish every blessing that you have in your life. Never take anything or anyone for granted. Live, laugh, and love hard. lol

my most memorable life experience was 2 1\2 years ago. my brother passed away, drug overdose, 6 months later my father died from an overdose too. lemme tell you, that was a slap in the face but i learned a lot. drugs are bad, also that i should be more responsible. i have had a steady job for the past couple of years and have a brighter outlook on life then i have ever had. not that this is an experience that anyone should have to go through to learn something, but that is what it took for me. sad but true. my advice, keep your head up and don't give up.

there was never too many life altering experiences to turn me into who i am today. my mother and my aunts were a big part. they taught me between right and wrong. going to church did alot. when i was fifteen i stopped cursing and arguing more. though, i am still pretty hard headed about things.
i would have to say my husband changed me. i grew up in a single parent household. thank the LORD GOD above i never lacked for anything. male influences were something i did not have a good example of. nothing drastic, i just saw how men would love 'em then leave 'em.
my mom no matter what happened always believed the right man would come along. yes, he did for my mother. back to my husband. he changed me into a stronger person. i know who i am and have alot more confidence in myself. i taught me that not all men are shallow and cruel. he taught me what love is. i was pretty cold to guys growing up. i was pretty cold to my husband too. whatever he saw in me, i don't know. he stuck around.
the answer to your question is my husband. meeting him changed my life.

I was a classic middle child (3rd of 4) and didn't get lots of individual attention. When I was in 2nd grade I wrote a story for school. We had to write a fairy tale and the example the teacher gave was why bluebirds are blue. Everyone did that but me. I wrote of a boy in Ireland who made blackboards black. My teacher made a big stink out of how good it was and my sister in 7th grade came in on an errand and she praised it to her. My sister told my mother who rarely believed me, but believed her. I got such recognition for it I ended up being an English Major in college.

I grew up in a very strict family probably like most other kids today. I had the determination to learn and study and get into one of the best colleges in the world. I continuously strive for the best and I consider myself to be very competitive. My child will be raised in the same manner as I did with one minor exeption. I learned that in this world you will miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

There was no single event that made me the person I was today. Everything I did, smart and stupid, everything I observed, and everybody who I hung out with, including my parents. I am a self made woman. I am not rich in monetary units, just experience.

My moms, seeing how poor she was raised and could not afford better schools...I studied even harder to have more than my moms had...advice to other ...keep your book open....and learn ...the more you learn the better jobs you get..good luck.

well, it all started when i was born....i need therapy...j/k...lol
umm...well, my parents had a HUGE impact on how i am today (just turned 17) ok, im not old but still...then there were the ppl in school...my friends and the others (the ones i hated, but they didnt know that i hated them) i learned a lot from them...how to act around ppl, how to respect others (since they didnt show any, i knew i had to) u know, stuff like that...
i believe that i am the way i am (my shyness and being a loner and all) is b/c of my parents...now i dont blame them but they never had another child (im an only child) and everything i did, i did w/ them...EVERYTHING...since i was "alone" at home (not literally alone but not w/ a sibling) i really never found the urge to have or seek friends...and the friends i do have i dont keep touch w/...i really dont care to...and i never did anything to entertain myself, no sports, nothing...my parents tried (baseball, soccer...) but it all backfired on them...i just never want to do that, i wanted to be at home, w/ them...lol...in a way im mad at them for not forcing me to do anything b/c now i get away w/ lots of thing and i sometimes feel lazy (but i really am not lazy) but at the same time im happy b/c there are some parents that force their kids to do things that they dont want to, and they never did that to me...see what i mean...
i have to say i am a person that ppl can take advantage of...im too nice...and those friends i have, did just that, they would use me for my homework...(b/c i am like the second best in the 11th grade) but i saw it like this, im gonna help them now, but its gonna effect them in the future, they arent gonna change, they didnt learn anything so in the future, when they need it, they are in big trouble...as for me...i got more practice...i did better on tests and stuff and hopefully i will be successful in life...it was silly for me to do that but i really didnt care...it didnt bother me...even my teachers asked my why i did it...they knew...i just said "it was easier to do it then see them beg like dogs in front of me"...lol...
any advice...um....i'd have to say...just be you...dont give a damn on what others think of u...and live ur life one day at a time, and enjoy every moment...!!!
not really a life story but just some things about me...
i have also been stung by seven bees...(four all at once) what i learned from that...never sit on a bee hive...
i also crashed into a fire hydrant, while riding down hill...i landed like 10ft in front of my bike...what i learned from that...dont look at a rabbit while riding a bike down a hill...lol...its painful...i also crashed head on w/ a parked car while on my bike...that worst part was that i saw it coming and i had no time to turn, so i just crashed...also painful...
come to think of it, everytime i was in a bike accident i was w/ my dad...everytime i rode w/ my mom, i was always safe...hmm??? something to ponder!!!! =)
damn that was long, im still in high school too...12th grade this yr...im a senior...oh and one thing i have learned from my cousin (she's a girl) dont get into a relationship...yet, it aint worth it, too much drama...lol...i havent even kissed a girl or anything...ive been single so far and plan to for a long time...but thats just me...(again, the whole being w/ my parents thing) oh and my parents are now divorced...great (sarcastic) =/ now i live w/ my mom and visit my dad...it sucks...18 yr marriage down the damn toilet...so i honestly have to say i plan to live w/ my mom for a loooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnggg....time...!!!!!!! and when she dies.................lights out for me! (i'd probably have a heart attack and die on the spot, hopefully!) =/
