Maybe give some free advice about: School?
people always want what they cant have. for example- cows who are grazing on one side of a fence always think the grass on the other side could be better because they dont have it.

Instead of looking at what we have, we look at what we don’t have. Instead of counting the things that we should be thankful for, we count the things that if we had we will be happier or feel better about ourselves or our lives.
I guess that it is true after all that we don’t appreciate something unless it is missing from our lives, and what makes things even more critical is that we miss it more when we see others enjoying it without any effort as if things come to them without them having to work for it.
The irony in this whole thing is that those people might be looking at us and saying to themselves that we are luckier than them because of things that we have and they don’t.
So my new saying is: "The grass isn't always greener on the other side" :)

It means that everyone else's life is better than yours. Which is why people say that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Everyone has issues, just everyone thinks that they're the only people with problems. Then you come to a site like this and you see that maybe you're not the only one with an imperfect life.
But yeah, the saying just means that people compare their own lives to other people's and then they realize that their life isn't so bad.

pretty much it just means that people always look at their lives or their situation or w/e and think that other people always have things better.. its basically a you-always-want-what-you-cant-have-or-what-someone-else-has-got kinda thing.

basicaly it means that the other person always has it better: for example if you and your friend went to get icec ream, and she got more sprinkles, and you felt disapointed than thatwould be an example. originally, the grass is always greener means that the nieghbors grass is better (see, they are unhappy with their own)
