EnemaOfTheState answered Thursday April 21 2005, 10:45 pm: i can relate to this alot.. and its because we're teenagers.. we just go through this stage and theres not much you can do except realize the fun in life.. but if you think about it.. your life isnt that bad.. your parents are strict because they care about you and dont want you to get hurt. i know thats not what you want to hear but its the truth. we all think that our lives suck but the truth is. they really dont.. we have it lucky..

You just have to understand that maybe their lives arent as bad as yours so little stuff that goes wrong means a lot to them; and they arent as strong emotionally as you are because they havent had as much hurt in their lives. I know it can get annoying at times, but just try to understand. Or maybe just dont listen to their crap. [ SheDidntLuvUAnyways's advice column | Ask SheDidntLuvUAnyways A Question ]
TheTeenGirl answered Thursday April 21 2005, 9:01 pm: Ask your friends to stop dwelling on the bad part of their lives and that every girl goes through just what everyone else is goung through like you. You and your friends' problems are no different than normal teenage girl problems and you basically know what its like because you can't even do somethings they can, every girl gets sad that a guy doesn't like her, it happens, you're right, your friend getting into fights is all her fault, she has a choice to put her fists up or walk away. That doesn't need to be put on you with a , "you don't know what its like man, so back off." The next time she says that, ask her why shes even talking to you about her, "bad" life in the first place. Bring up that time when that guy friend supported you, and make your point clear that you don't need to keep rambling on about how life sucks, you need to be able to just work out problems together instead of hearing it over and over and getting annouyed. You're living proof that you don't need a man by your side to be happy to your friends. But don't try telling her about your life and how bad you have it, just tell her that you've got it slightly worse and you're fine.
