I'm so blessed, I don't no what to do with myself.

I don't even know who is gonna read this, and I don't particularly care. I just don't want to do my assignments. For the last few weeks I've been reading posts from the people in my friends list, and from some people who are not in my friends list, but who are a part of ianthony. I came to an interesting conclusion.

Almost everybody's life sucks at least a little bit. Now I know that the average age here is like 15 or 16 or something, and that that is like the worst time of your life, but still. Crappy parents, crappy friends, no friends, crappy school, etcetera. The list goes on. To be clear, this post is not meant to make light of everybody's problems, and I know I shouldn't read the posts if I'm just gonna be mean about it, but I can't help myself anymore.

If you have a problem, do something about it. Something constructive. If a problem does not have a solution, learn to deal with it. Accept that one aspect in your life is not the way you want it to be. But that does not have to mean that the rest of life is bad too. There are so many things that are much, much worse than your problems. People get mugged, raped, beaten and hurt everyday. And you can think to yourself: "That is true, and I'm glad that I'm not those people, but how does that help ME?"

Well it doesn't. Knowing that other people have it worse than you doesn't help you shit. But it should make you look at your own problems, and place them in perspective. So your friend is acting like a bitch? Tell her/him. Get it sorted out. If your friend doesn't want to change things, let them be. You don't need them to be your friend, and you can't force them. Go find others, or have fun with your online friends.

Your parents are being stupid? All parents are stupid. They are human, they make mistakes. They mean well, most of the time. If it still doesn't work out, just wait until you're 18, and move out. That's what I did, and I've never regretted it. I love my parents, but living with them was just not working. That's okay. No one's parents are perfect, but they will usually listen to you if you are reasonable with them. Pick a good moment and have a civilized conversation with them, you'd be surprised by how much it can help. If you are scared to do that, write it in a letter and give it to them. If that doesn't work, talk to an (adult) family friend, or a family member. They might be able to convince your parents that things should change.

As for school... School just sucks. Who ever came up with putting thousands of teenagers in one building with a bunch of underpaid, bored teachers should go back to school himself. Just hang in there and try to see the funny side of failing another test. At least going to school means that you don't have to work behind the counter in a supermarket, cause trust me, that's not something you want to do for the rest of your life.

But, I hear you ask, don't you have any bad stuff in your life that sometimes makes you miserable, sad, frustrated and desperate? Of course I have. I just don't let it control me. Not anymore. I've been there, done that. I ended up crying more than laughing, and that just isn't right. Now I just tell the world: Fuck it. This is my life, and I'm gonna enjoy it with the people who love me. Everyone is loved by someone, even you. So wipe those tears away, and look to the future. Because trust me, it gets better.

Sorry if I offended anybody with this post, but I just needed to get it off my chest. Ah, another problem solved. That was easy!
