I know there are people who are in far worse situations, and I encourage them to try to bring themselves out of the hole their in, but sometimes you just don't know what to do, and sometimes the only way to solve problems is to make them not exist. You tell me to fix my problems well there's no magic someone who's going to bring my dad back to life or fix my mom's kidneys.
That's when you sit down and deduce which problems you fix and which you live with. Your dad dying is sad but it's not a reason to get depressed. That's selfish and takes the energy that should go toward remembering and focuses upon your "why me" complex. Same with your mom's kidney, give her support, stop giving yourself attention, it's selfish. 20 dollars for groceries? Go get a job and help. You're gay? Big effing deal. It's something you live with. It only becomes a big ass negative to YOU when YOU decide it's going to be. Stop relying on others for gratification. You need to realize that things are only as bad as you make them out to be.
In short: get over yourself. Those problems do not make your life OH SO TERRIBLE, they make it challenging. There are challenges out of your control, but to obsess over your lack of control is just ego. Focus on what you CAN do, not what you can't.
I know I don't have the worst life Ragan I friggen said that in the post.
Anyway, BiCoastalKid, I'm not able to get a job yet, hell even the local grocery store won't hire until you're 15 here.
My dad is DEAD. Not dying, he commit suicide.
I do give my mom support for her kidneys, all I was saying was that I have a reason to feel like crap about my life to SFMM Homie because apparently I have a perfect life and I'm only upset because the 'kiddies' make fun of me at school.
Me being gay IS a big deal. My mom can be extremely homophobic and if she found out I was gay she would most likely kick me out, she's kicked my sister out, it wasn't for the same reason but she's not afraid to do it.
I'm literally afraid of her hurting me.
I don't obsess about it. I said I don't want anybodies pity, I don't care anymore about it which I also stated, I've gotten over it, read what I said...
SFMM Homie, she never bought this computer it was given to us. I just wanted to show you WHY I did what I did. I didn't want you to feel sorry for me, and I SAID IN MY MESSAGE that I'm over it. I don't care any more, but that's what made me so upset. I never said I still feel like that.
By the way, I don't use hair gel, I have naturally curly hair but I straighten it. And don't give me some crap like 'Don't buy a straightener if you're short of money' because we've had this thing for like 5 years.
Lets kill your dad, give your mother one failed kidney and one kidney working at 30 percent, take away her job and don't give her disability pay, make you get made fun of at school your entire life, have your mother get her truck stolen so you can't do anything but walk, make it so you'll have to be hiding secrets from your parents because you're afraid of being disowned, force you to live in a 400 square foot house and make sure that if you need anything like furniture you get it from the garage sale down the street. And be sure that 20 dollars for groceries is too much.
Don't think I want you to feel sorry for me- I don't want your pity, I don't feel bad about it any more, but that's a fairly legitimate reason to feel like crap no? Anyway, pity doesn't change crap, it just makes you crave attention.
