My life was ok.I didn't feel the need to take any form of action to alter any aspect of it. Then one day things gradually got worse and worse. I was bullied,went on anti depressants changed schools made new friends got even further bullied, got beaten within an inch of my life my an abusive boyfriend, fell pregnant at 16, didnt get any qualifications from school, lost all my so called 'friends' when I gave birth and that was that. I'm now a bit wiser and have slowly got things back on track. Got a good boyfriend a beautiful daughter, a 'choice' selection of friends and hopefully I'm going back to college and getting into part time work. I realised that no matter what happened to me there was nothing I could do to stop it so I had to take it all in my stride. I faced up to my fears so that I didnt have to live in fear that I wasnt good enough all the time. I told those a**holes whats what filed charges and a few months later here I am ready to start again and erase those bad memories!

The grasp of shifting nature of things in life is enviable indeed; in this brief description of your good efforts so far in your life, you have, and perhaps without realising, encapsulated great philosophy of practical human life. This is the fact that key to success is in attitudes we adapt and learn towards all situations in life, and especially the situations of hardship and adversity; the odds are the same for all people but this is what makes all the difference in one person's life, and you have plenty of rightful thinking in your active mind and a strong positive attitude in store to back you up. This is not only reflective thinking about your personal situation but it is also transferable to other people' lives in similar circumstances. It cannot be more accurate when you say, you do not 'have to live in fear that I wasn't good enough all the time'. This attitude exhibits your personal honesty, that you are true to yourself does not matter what. I assure you no one can beat such a mind set.
Life is an endless sequence of readjustments, new starts and situation where we get up and go for new things with new energy, new vitality and with renewed courage. We do this all the time. There are instances that we hardly notice; during the course of a day not all things go according to our plan, what saves the day is the fact that we try our best, and that we left no excuse anywhere to come back to hurt us. When we know we have been honest, sincere and doing our best, we are at our best, then it does not matter if w wind this time round of the next we feel like a winner inside. I try my best and I never give up.

Never give up!
Glad to hear that you're making positive changes. There are things beyond our control (the weather, other people etc) & yes you just have to deal with these. But there are things within your control (yourself, your reaction to life's adversities etc) and you have to take charge of your life. You are never a victim unless you let yourself be. Love yourself & do what is best for you & never let anyone take that from you.
We all have painful memories in the past. You can't rewrite the past but you can enjoy the present & make positive plans for a happy future. Create new happy memories to counteract the pain of the past. It sounds like you are making positive changes so keep up the good work!
Take care.

Good for you. I hope you intend to take the proper credit for being strong enough to turn your life around, and that you aren't planning to say you couldn't have done it without god, or whoever.
My own experience is that life never turns out the way you plan, and it's probably a good thing too. The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche believed in a thing called 'amor fati', meaning loving your fate; he said that you should aim to live every moment of your life as though your whole life is going to be repeated exactly, over and over again, for all eternity. Therefore, you should try to make it as interesting and as lively and as life-affirming as possible. Tricky but a good idea, imo.

To many people that sit in here, life hasn't been easy, many don't want to remember what they went through, others stay behind creating bitter memories and then is the "us" the survivors. What we don't realise is that what happened to each one of us, has made us who we are and what we stand for.
Giving up is not an option (if it was we'd be dead), it is what we decide to do with the knowledge of the experiences lived, that makes a difference.
Good on you for starting again.

I really appreciate the way you faced the hardships of life and come out of it safely to good days. Life is the best but hard teacher! There is a generic beleif in the east that 'if you got to have lots of problems in life .. better to have them all at once when you are young. That way you will learn to live rest of the long life in a more wise way and be peaceful'.
You may make several mistakes in life. But the trick is in not repeating any.

Your life sound a little familiar with me. Happy to hear that its ok with your life now. :). Me too.

Through tragic circumstances throughout my life (now in 50's) I tried and tried again and now I am a completely changed person - I dont think I would have ever had found the person I am today had life not thrown so many avenues at me to go down - one has to go through it to come out of it - so to speak.

It's not a case of getting up and trying again.
You just simply have to get on with it!
We should learn from our past experiences and use that to improve our lives!
Well done! You have obviously learnt from yours!
I wish you and your family the very best of luck for the future!
