Is karma even real?
I'm 15/f... Two years ago I was cast aside by my best friends for something out of my own control and I also got asked to leave the Christian school. Of course two years later I am going to a public school, have new friends and new life all that. But the people i left back at my old school that screwed me over are living the highschool life i wish I was living, it's all to easy for them. Is it because god just hates me?It doesn't make sense and it irks me to no end... it's two years I should be over this mess.
Sorry for the long question
thanks in advance

You probably won't like my answer. I'm not trying to be judgmental but it may sound that way.
From what I understand, you have nothing to complain about. So you don't have it as easy as your old friends. You still have it a lot better than most people in the world! Take a look at the big picture and be grateful for what you have.
I'm not saying that you should be totally selfless and become a Saint. Life is hard for everyone, it's just that everyone has different perspectives on what "hard" is. And sometimes life (or God, if you prefer), throws us challenges. And we have to rise to those challenges, and conquer them. Doing so will make you stronger as a person.

I apologize in advance for the legth of this answer...I'm sorry.
one of the greatest things about being a Christian is that we are forgiven. We continuously spit on His will and His way and yet, He still saves a place for us in Heaven. It is a remarkable thing that I will never understand. I also believe that Jesus led by example, also through forgiveness. It is not easy to forgive those who have done us wrong. Infact, I got to a point where for as capable of hate as I am, I hated somebody who was in my life. I couldn't believe I was capable of feeling that angry and I was terrified. It was too far beyond my nature to be able to forgive on my own so I prayed to God for His help. I asked Him to show me how to forgive and to help me not feel so full of anger and hate, and sure enough life just started to get easier. Don't hesitate to ask God for help in getting through this, "Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be open unto you".
As far as going to a public school, it isn't as bad as it seems. I have had the priviledge of going to both private and public schools and I whole heartedly say that it was the best thing that ever could have happened to me. Don't consider this a curse, but rather as a blessing. You have the opportunity to learn so much from others, and also to have them learn a lot from you. Be a witness and lead the best life you can by setting an example to others.
God Bless You. - Cassie Leigh

Don`t spend your time thinking about the people in your past, there`s a reason they didn`t make it into your future.
I`ve been there.
As a matter of fact, last year.
It took me until a month ago to realize everything that I am about to tell you, though. We`ve all been where you are at one point or anything. You`ll get through it, trust me.
God doesn`t hate you.
He doesn`t hate anyone now, & he never will.
He puts obstacles in your path to make you a stronger person. It helps you see what it`s like for other people who have been in that position. & more than anything, it teaches you about life. He showed you through that how to pick the right friends. A true friend wouldn`t ditch you for something out of your control, & God showed you that.

show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile." =]
Goodluck!

Forget about these people.
You can't always see the suffering of others.
You never know how sincerely happy these girls are.
Focus on yourself and you'll find that'll make you appreciate your own life a little more instead of dwelling on what you see in someone else's.
I've been through times like this, also...
trust me on this one.

God wouldn't hate you.
You've had bad experiences - it does take time to get over them. I don't blame you for having these thoughts though. To be honest, I would too.
But you have to remember, they screwed you over. You shouldn't care at all about how they're getting on and living the high school life. You don't need them. You came out stronger from all of this. You have new friends, new school, new life.. Be thankful for it. Just forget about them. As I've said, it will take time, but eventually you will realize there's no need for you to be jealous over it. What happened in the past shouldn't affect your future. I can't stress enough you were only 13 at the time, too. People make mistakes (if you did) but become older and wiser.
Just think of it as a test.
You'll get through this.

God gave you such strife because he knows you can handle it.

It depends on what you believe. I could say you just have no matter of luck at all, or someone else could say that karma is catching up with you. I am going to tell you that sometimes things just happen based on your way of thinking. I got most of my thinking on this subject from the documentary "The Secret". I suggest you pick up a copy. In the meantime, try to get some relaxation to move your mind onto bigger and greater things. Best of luck.
