Will it end

Bullying is so silly it frustrates me that it still occurs. Maybe if you become stronger the bullies will leave you alone. Don’t give them the reaction they want. Don’t let them see you as vulnerable and stay close to teachers I guess. I’m sorry to hear your childhood wasn’t good! Many children suffer as well. Did you hear today in the news that a 10 year old girl gave birth? Isn’t that terrible? Awful people that harm children are everywhere. I know your babysitter harmed you but you must remind yourself that you are not what happened to you, you are what you chose to become. It’s easy to be depressed. To smile and move on- that takes strength. Of course many people can’t do this alone. You need help! Tell your parents “I’m depressed, I don’t want to be, help me and my grades and attitude will improve!” Your parents love you just as much as they love your brother. Sometimes we forget to show how much we care about our loved ones. When was the last time you told your parents “I love you” and hugged them? One of my friends is the happiest girl in the world and I went to her house last weekend and she literally said “I love you” to her dad 10 times during my visit. You can’t die yet because you want to live. Live for what you love. If you love your friend and don’t want to hurt her then let her help you and get better (make her smile!). Even if you move away you can still have a good relationship with J (skype, facebook, visit, phone calls). Don’t use her absence from your life as an excuse to die. With a little effort you can make new friends too (if you move). All you need to say is “HI” and the World is not going to end if that person doesn’t become your friend. Keep trying until you find that amazing person that was missing from your life. Your life can be wonderful when you put a little effort into it. There are so many things to love, to explore, to learn, to experience. The world is what you make of it. If you think it’s terrible then it will be. If you want to be miserable and die, then do but if you want to live then ask for help and make an effort to come out of your depression. Many young people have come out of depression and so can you. Tell your parents, take medication, and talk to someone. Do something! You’re stuck in your misery because you’re not trying. You can’t move because you don’t try and put the blame on others.
I just want to remind you that your past has made you a stronger person and if you work at it, you can make yourself feel better. When you are aware of your sadness, instead of falling deeper into the whole you have dug, tell yourself “Hey, I’m in a bad mood, let me do something about it.” When you get off balance tell yourself that you can change your mood by taking action. Take positive actions that move you from defeat to empowerment. When you’re sad, acknowledge this feeling and remind yourself that this is not how you want to feel. Do what makes you happy! Everyone is different so I don’t think my examples will be helpful but I think that universally, taking a nap when you’re angry or sad helps. Also exercising.

I know that it’s easier not to do anything but if you can’t die tomorrow; you better start formulating a plan because life sucks when you’re sad all the time.
