Question Posted Saturday February 13 2010, 5:56 pm
Hello, I am 16, and i am so sick of my life i really am. So far i ahve llost alot of my close friends,well what i thought was my best friends. They all left because well im not sure really.But have you ever just wanted to give up? yeh thats what i want to do really.give up. not sure what to do anymore. this life that everyone is talkinga about,this great life,is nothing but a lie.
You have no self-confidence, your pride has been shattered from the abandonment of your friends, and the truth has hit you hard. Most people will never realize, that we live to die. You are one of the few can see that life is a "lie." But that doesn't mean that you should mope around like that. You shouldn't go around "depressing" up other people's air. What you can do is, pretend to be happy. Pretend you actually care about life. It will satisfy the greed of the ignorant people of the world. If you are truly depressed, welcome to the club. I have residual schizophrenia. I'm a walking emotional freak. There are many people who think like you, and proven to be wrong. All you have to do, is find at least one reason to live. Whether it be good or bad ( I need to do the laundry, etc.) and just do it.
If you're problem is not mentioned, and is about a relationship, you should just calm down, and sleep. Teen angst can be solved by sleep. [ khaos4ng31's advice column | Ask khaos4ng31 A Question ]

Go to the community center and take a random class to find new interests! I wanted to give up too but you need to find something that you can put all your energy in to focus on and excel at! Try art, sewing, acting, cooking anything! Volunteering is really fun. You'll find something I know it. Life really is what you make it. IF you start having fun and trying new things you'll start to enjoy it agian.
Good luck
and let me know if you need anymore help!

Think about it this way, you are only 16 - so that means you've only lived 1/8 of your life!!
You have loads of things that is going to happen in the next 10 years that is more important than losing those friends like:
-A job
-College
-University
-A career which you will love
-Getting married
-Having kids and making your own family.
You might not want some of those last things, but the others are really important because they shape your future more than the friends you have just lost. Put it this way, they clearly didn't like you for YOU, and when you meet new friends when you get 1). a job, and 2). when you're in college, you will say to yourself, "why on Earth did I waste all of that time and energy on them?!"
Seriously, I bet there are loads more people at your school that would like to be more than just "class mates" or "acquaintances" with you.
I hope I helped, and good luck!

but im glad i didnt.
everything ive been through, the people ive lost along the way.. the things ive gained, its all worth it in the long run. it makes you strong and it makes you who you are right now. and you might be sick of it at the moment, but you wont be for long.
theres a quote that really helped me look forward to my future when i was going through some rough times.. "Be strong now, 'cause things will get better. It may be stormy now, but it can't rain forever."
its so true. you just have to know that you'll get past this and that what doesnt kill you only makes you stronger. sometimes life is about growing as a person and realizing that the people you thought you knew were only strangers and that understanding why people do what they do isnt as important as understanding that its just who they are.
and im not gonna tell you that everyone has this picture perfect great life, but its not a lie. you have a great life.. but right now its not as great as it could be. when you get knocked down you just have to get up again, dont let anyone ever bring you down. i know that you dont know what to do, but im telling you that you should either talk to your "best friends" and ask them what you did to make them leave or just forget about them. theyre not the only people on the earth.. it took me a while to realize that people are people. their true colors will eventually surface. you can meet new people and make new friends every day of your life. you're only 16.. you cant give up now; i know you have it in you to hold your head up high and keep going. you have your whole life ahead of you. just think of the oppurtunities that are awaiting you. you cant let these people make you think that youre not worth anything, because you are worth something. youre worth alot. you have your family who loves you and cares about you and the ability to achieve anything and to be great :]
so do what you do best and show them what youre made of. youre an awesome person; be who you are. good luck, hope i helped, and if you need anything else, im always here. xxo. [ itdependsonyoux3's advice column | Ask itdependsonyoux3 A Question ]
queelt answered Sunday February 14 2010, 9:29 am: hey, first of all, since you are 16, this means that you have a whole lot of life and friendmaking ahead of you. think about it this way- if you arent happy with the friends you have had in highschool, you are moving on to such bigger and better things. college! a job!, these are things that highschool merely prepares you for. you can judge life by certain incedents that happen in these years because you just have to know that better things ARE coming.
I know how you feel, i am 17 and recently did a lot of reassessing when it came to the people who i thought were my friends, but all im thinking about now is how exciting the next step of my life will be. When you are down, just think forward.
if you wanna talk more, inbox me and ill give you my sn.
