They can?

*smacks Yoshi across the face with a mouse pad*

Now get to work!!!!


...

Yeah. Welcome to Southern Alabama.

Yet more excuses...Why can't you just admit you want to do nothing and feel sorry for yourself?



Give me a break. There's millions of city's in the world without sidewalks. No sidewalks aren't a rule for not walking.. That's the lamest excuse I've ever heard. There's no sidewalks where I live, I walk on the side of the road. Walk against traffic, that way you can see where cars are coming from. This is all very simple, but yet again, you keep making dumb excuses.



You're still only 16, and chances are, based off what you've said before in this thread, you don't know what true love is.



Umm...By lowering your standards doesn't mean you're not going to be happy.. This justifies me in saying you don't know what love is, because love surpasses all inequalities. I'm suggesting you not look for the "perfect" girl, and start looking for someone more like you. Not throw all your needs out the window, like wanting someone that's nice. Lowering your standards doesn't mean that, check up on it.... geeze.



Um, I think every teenager pretty much knows what you're tlaking about with the friends issue. Myself included. We all know it's not easy to make friends, especially in a high school environment. But when you make the effort, at least you can say that. YOu haven't made the effort it seems, and you want us to feel sorry for you, while you feel sorry for yourself. Nuh uh.

If you can't meet people, then you aren't trying or you aren't trying hard enough.

Any more excuses?

1) The only streets to get anywhere are highways. The speed limits do not dip below 40. Yes, I'm going to walk against traffic. That's coming at me at 40 miles an hour. In very hilly terrain.

2) Maybe not, but I do know I still have strong feelings for the last girl I loved--2 years, and 1800 miles away

3) I'm not looking for the perfect girl, I'm looking for a decent girl. Down here, though, they're all taken. Besides that, I don't really care whether or not I have A girlfriend, because that's just stupid. I want someone I can care for. Not just some floozy for me to rebound off of.

4) No, you don't. No, they don't. My mother would go out drinking every night and piss away all our money. I would go to my friend's house, and they became my siblings, while their parents became my parents. There, happy now?

Jesus, why can't you just be helpful instead of assuming that I'm not trying to do anything. I do try, but it's not easy to get out. It's not easy to get close to girls you love. It's not easy to let go to people you love and cherish and care for more than you care for yourself. It's not ****ing easy okay? That's the entire ****ing point. But you just can't ****ing get that through your head, can you?

Yoshi, I understand your state, but what I am saying is that it appears you aren't making a truly honest effort.




So do that walk, it takes me 2 to 3 hours depending on which way I want to go, just to get into town from where I live. Benefits? I get mucho exercise. Negatives? I may get hit by a car, but then again, I may get shot if I go outside my house. Point being, if you don't do it, you'll never know. At least you'll get exercise.



So contact her. Contact whoever it is you love, whatever. Just do something to get someone that will love you, if you search you will find. If you never search, you'll end up like this.



I doubt every single girl in your city is taken. Even if that's true, there's got to be adjacent cities for you to go to, or even someone you knew from your old home, or whatever.



LoL. So you're one of those peple that thinks that nobody could be worse off than you, or experienced what you're going through. Well, I've got news for you.. You're dead wrong. I have many friends who have parents that piss away all the money at the casino due to addictions, drug addictions, etc. My entire city is one crack infested place, pretty much all the adults with children are on cocaine or some kind of hard drug. A lot of my friends don't even have parents, at least you do. My family doesn't talk, and my mother treats me like a piece of dog **** as well. My brother is her golden child, and can't do anything wrong. Hell, I even got yelled at the other day just for getting a job.

My girlfriend's mother is my mom as far as I'm concerned. However, this is not an excuse either way for doing nothing with your life yourself. Your mother sucks, my mother sucks, the difference is that I chose to grow up and ignore all of that, and become something of myself. You're 16, it's time to start maturing and realise that yes, life does suck and is never fair. But you've got to stop living in that shell and start to realise that unless you forget about the crap that goes on at home, you're going to be stuck there forever.



It's not easy, but it's something you have to do. Like I said, unless you get past that, you're going to be stuck where you are for good. You're going to have love's, and they're going to end. You're going to have death throughout your life, you're going to be disappointed, you're going to be unhappy.

It's not easy to get out, because of those little things stopping you like no sidewalk's, or lots of fast cars going by? If that's true, then yes, you are making excuses. If it's not, then you should have said otherwise aside from those points in the first place.

I've had to let go of people I love and cherish more than myself, and it's something that sticks with you for a long time yes, but the key is to do what normal people do... Get over it, and move on.

I'm going to stop now. I just realized that I don't care what you think--because you're wrong.

I believe this was Mark Twain.
"Don't ever argue with an idiot; he will drag you down to his level then beat you with experience."

Whoever it was, they're smarter than I've been.

Hey now, don't get mad at me just because I'm trying to help you.

Seriously Yoshi, anyone that offers an opinion on how to help you, you just say they're wrong. You keep saying "I can't", and thus the only thing I see you wanting from this thread is for us to pull out a violin and play a sad tune while we all feel sorry for you.

Now that I realize you're 16 though, I can understand you're other posts that you've posted against me, others, and now.

High School's a tough time - yes. But once you get into college and out of college and just working 40+ hours a week - you are going to have even tougher times. So you need to nip this depression problem now, or your just going to keep getting it every year as you realize life is changing, and your emotions are not.

I find it funny how all you do is wait until the end of a thread I post in, and then cheap shot me.

No, I fail to see how "Stop being lazy and not trying" is helping when I plainly told him I did try.

And when I go off to college half of these problems I have now, I won't have anymore. But of course, you just came in for the quick cheapshot, so hey, later days!

DN's right in a way. I sure noticed a lot of "I can't"s in your past couple posts. Find a way to turn some of those problems into solutions. That should be a good way to pass the time.

Not to come off as rude, Freelancer, but I know there are a lot of those. And trust me, I've tried, and continue to try every day, to turn those to "I have". I've succeeded partially in many cases.

But this thread was made with then intent of venting. Note the remark "Just needed to vent, and had nowhere else to do it" at the end of mein first post. Just wanted to point that out.

You're right. You'll just have a hundred other, more complicated and harder problems once you reach that step in your life.

Um Yoshi, I didn't post a remark (after my earlier ones on the thread) because I don't sit here in front of the computer all day long.

Just came, read up on your posts (since it's past midnight now and I'm home), and provided a message.

And Temperamental's right, if you think you'll lose half your problems in college - you're clueless. College just leads to more problems, conflicts, and for you probably sadness when you realize this.

Financial problems to me aren't a problem. Studying, to me, isn't a problem.

Chore? Yes. Problem? No.

Okay, I was trying to be nice before, but at this point I'm too tired to care--how about you just stop reading and posting in my threads? Seriously. I'm not being mean, not joking, but I have a serious problem with you, and that obviously creates tension between us. Stop posting, please.

Haha, that's your idea of the problems you'll encounter in college life? If the issues you listed in your vent are the problems for your HS life...

I wish I would be around when you get the rude awakening.

They're not...oh jesus.

I quoth again.



Wow. Way to have 2 people ruin a thread I thought would be healthy venting. Now I'm just angry AND somewhat depressed. Great.

Well, I'm off to bed Yoshi. I'm not going to stop posting, so sorry.

Anyways, I leave you with a quote as well - hopefully you'll relate to it.

“For me, depression is a sign of not dealing honestly with my problems.”

-Patrick Wakeling

Neither have I heard of the guy, nor have I heard the quote, and nor do I care. Tons of people excused off depression to nothing--when scientific studies show it's an actual problem.

I must say Yoshi, you really aren't being all that mature. Not saying that Demon is either, but Demon shared a quote just like you did, and yet you did nothing but step on his quote and try to push yours over and over again. That being said, I'm going to talk a little about depression.

I can't say that I know what you're going through. I don't. I don't know your history, your personality, or your method of dealing with problems. That being said, maybe what I say won't apply to you. So be it. But if you get any benefit from it at all, the time it took to write this will be well spent.

I've read the threads about your father. You have to remember that your father loves you. It is his duty. He may not like you, he may downright detest you, but he still loves you. Try to build upon that. You've mentioned before that he got upset because you didn't do your chores on time, or something similar. Try to appease him. Or work something out with him. Sitting down and talking to him, sharing your feelings, fears, and hopes might open you up to him, and him up to you. How much time can you say you've spent with your father because you wanted to? Suggest a fishing trip to him, or whatever he enjoys. If you see him working around the house, ask if you can help him. Appeasing him may lead to holding a conversation with him, which may lead to you working something out.

As for missing your home, I kind of understand your situation. I myself moved from southern California to southeast Missouri. A bit of a culture shock there, I think. Anyway, point is, I missed everybody back home as well. Maybe not as much as you do, as I didn't have a friend that was like a brother to me, but I did have several friends I didn't want to leave behind. The key to fixing this problem is to attempt to meet new people. Join an extracurricular organization, or an after-school sport. Through band, FBLA, and Cross Country and Track I made many more friends than I would have otherwise. I don't know how the sports teams are at your school, but perhaps you can find one that doesn't require great athletic prowess to join. Heck, in Cross Country I was one of the slowest runners there, but that didn't stop me from enjoying myself and the company around me.

Also, can you honestly say you know every single person at your school? If your school's population is under 1000 students, then ok, maybe yes. But I'm sure there is somebody who you haven't met, or at least gotten to know pretty well. Remember that everybody has a story to tell, and most are worth listening to. Try to find somebody to listen to yours, and find other stories to listen to. You may end up surprising yourself.

As for the female issue - don't stress over it. It isn't necessary for you to lose your virginity in high school (sorry about that baseless assumption, but I'll make it anyway). It isn't necessary to have your first kiss in high school. Most people do, but some are late bloomers, and there is nothing wrong with that. This girl that you love, continue to love her, but also continue to be her friend. The love friends share can sometimes run more deeply than the love between them and their significant other. After all, isn't her boyfriend nothing but a good friend that she allows to hold her hand and kiss her? There will always be new people entering your life. Perhaps one of them will be the person you are willing to dedicate your life to.

Other than these feeble words, I can offer little else. Just know that I'm pulling for you in this situation that you're in, and I hope everything turns out for the best. Don't forget, even the darkest cloud has a silver lining.

Take up graffiti...

Yeah. As for the first part--after dealing with temp all night, dealing with a situation with my family, and dealing with cheaptrick in the other threads, I was on edge, and took the easy way out on him. In retrospect, I shouldn't have, but no use in editing now.

For the rest of your post...thanks. A lot. I mean it. It helped me feel a bit better. That's saying something too. Do I really know all the kids at my school? No. Do I know more than I can keep track of already? Yes

Good, good. Knowing them all is good. But really get to know them. Listen to their stories. Share yours. It'll make you feel even better.

I'm glad you feel better now.

That's smart. I'm depressed, also. I have been going at a Long Distance relationship with a girl in California (I'm in Missouri) for about a year and a half. We kinda broke up yesterday.

I feel like dying.

That can be arranged.
