When life gives u lemons, make lemonade. Then, throw it in the face of the person who should've gotten you the oranges you orginally asked for.
What we do is determined by what we are. What we are is determined by what we think. What we think is determined by what we experience. What we experience is determined by what we are exposed to and what we do with that exposure.
(MIKE VANCE and DIANE DEACON)
Life is like a book with many different chapters. Some tell of tragedy, others of triumph. Some chapters are dull and ordinary, others intense and exciting. The key to being a success in life is to never stop on a difficult page, to never quit on a tough chapter. Champions have the courage to keep turning the pages because they know a better chapter lies ahead.
(RICH RUFFALO)
Because you're able to do it and because you have the right to do it, doesn't mean it's right to do it.
(Dr.LAURA SCHLESSINGER)
We are born with our eyes closed and our mouths open, and we spend our whole lives trying to reverse that mistake of nature.
(DALE E.TURNER)
You can have anything you want if you want it desperately enough. You must want it with an inner exuberance that erupts through the skin and joins the energy that created the world.
(SHEILAH GRAHAM)
We all have the ability. The difference is how we use it.
(STEVIE WONDER)
Everything is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied.
One person can make a difference and every person should try.
The one thing worse than being alone is not being alone and wishing you were.
Real difficulties can be overcome, it is only the imaginary ones that are unconquerable.

The goal in marriage is not to think alike, but to think together.

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not, but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.
(EPICURUS)
When you look in the mirror, you are looking at the problem, but remember, you are also looking at the solution.
Live your life, so you don't have to hide your diary.
Dream what you dare to dream. Go where you want to go. Be what you want to be.
(CALVIN COOLIDGE)
The first thing of importance is to have confidence in yourself, in your abilities.
(KATHARINE GIBBS)
Become a 'possibilitarian'. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see the possibilities-always see them, for they are always there.
(NORMAN VINCENT PEALE)
DAVID COPPERFIELD just might be the greatest magician and illusionist of all time. He is definitely a legend in his own time. Here are some of his most inspiring quotes...
'The easiest thing in the world is to come up with an excuse not to do something. I found that the most important thing in life is to stop saying,'I wish,' and to start saying,'I will.'
'Before there can be wonders, there must be wonder.'
'Whenever I pursued my dreams, I discovered something astonishing-I discovered myself. My secret has been to consider nothing impossible. Then to treat possibilities as probabilities.'
'Passion is everything.'
'I learned that there were two ways I could live my life: following my dreams or doing something else. Dreams aren't a matter of chance, but a matter of choice. When I dream, I believe I am rehearsing my future.'
Miracles do not happen in contradiction to nature, but only in contradiction to that which is known to us of nature.
(SAINT AUGUSTINE)
The world is composed of givers and takers... the takers may eat better, but the givers sleep better.
Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
(ROBERT FROST)
Love is a fruit in season at all times and within reach of every hand.
(MOTHER TERESA)

When i was about your age, i had suicidal tendencies too, and i used to be so depressed, and i had those angry thoughts and i held grudges against people, and at times i thought i was losing my mind. And i couldn't tell my parents cause i didn't want anyone to know.
But i did tell my school counseller, and he really used to listen to me, and sometimes i even wrote him letters expressing how i felt and my thoughts, and he'd read them, and follow up with me, like he was my private shrink,and it felt good, something i looked forward to. You know sometimes, its not just about someone telling you some advice for you to stop doing what your doing, but its about someone you regularly talk to, and whenever you feel upset, he'd be there for you, so it makes you feel like your not alone and that there is someone there for you, and that makes you feel good, that alone makes you feel like your improving, makes you want to do what you do less, cause this person encourages you when you look forward to talking to this person again, and you share with him how you've improved or how your changing.
So it doesn't have to be a family member,and it can't be a shrink, because your too young and then you'd need to tell your parents, so it could be a friend, or a counseller in your school, or sometimes there are those hotlines for advice. You just need to talk to someone, you need to know that someone is there for you, cause this is what will make you feel better and encourage you to stop what your doing.
And in the meanwhile, try to occupy your time, like pick up a sport, or some activity, online or in real life, or focus on your studies more. Find something you like to do, what about art or music? Usually when you like something, or you have something that you do and takes up your time, it distracts you, and thats exactly what you need.

Thank you for sharing your story with me. Sometimes it helps more than you would know to just know that I am not alone. Maybe that somebody else has felt like this and I am not some kind of freak. I promise I will get the help I need, and you had a great deal to do with that!
