I'm almost 18 and I've been trying to get my license, but I didn't practice enough and now my time is outdated. My parents say now they won't help me out since I don't have them to get to my workout practise. Which is the only thing that makes me happy. (Parents are split, siblings drive me crazy, people at school are not nice) All those bad things that ruin everything.

 

And also sometimes my parents just get mad for no reason and say rather hurtful things. I never see my dad because everytime I try and go over he doesnt have time, or when I do which was almost 6 months ago..we argue because he puts me down or women down. I can't stand that.

 

My mom is always very emotional, and crys or gets mad over everything. And when I try and do things around the house when they don't ask me too, it's not enough and they want more down. I have stepparents at both houses as well. It's like I'm not good enough and I try and tell them how I feel, but they assume they know everything of how I think, but they don't.

 

On top of them..I have girls at school hating me for no reason, especially from this one particular group. I'm not popular I am the type that likes to be with a few people and sometimes just with one person talking one on one.

 

Then there is the rude men...and my friends issues, because i"m the one they come too. My best friend always has issues with guys, and I dont know what to say to her becuse she gets mad at me for helping and if I don't she's more mad. And there's this preppy guy that always shows up where iam and he stares at me. The thing is he's rude and tries to make me look bad infront of everyone. Which hurts, but I pretend it doesnt because he likes when I get mad. yes, he said so himself.

 

Then there is my so called dating life..which never tends to launch. I always go for the wrong guy...or they turn out to be jerks, and only want one thing.

But this is the lat problem on the list, because I just get over it.

 

Anyways, if you have any advice it would be greatly appreciated.

Despite all your worries and anxieties things are not that bad.

 

What you are experiencing is something that we all have to deal with at some point in our lives. Dont be so sure that everyone around you is enjoying life and finding it easy cos I can assure they are not. What people tend to do is put on a false front and just crack on.

 

I think you may need someone who can highlight the good aspects of your life to you and help you understand that despite all the difficulties you are currently experiencing the glass is actually half full.

 

Parents are hard work aren't they! There is no quarentee that they will be there for us. In fact some parents are unintentionally abusive.

 

Find someone totally independant from your life to speak with, maybe even a councillor and they will be able to help you.

 

Good luck

I know it gets old hearing this, but seriously, keep your head up. The world can be a horrible and mean place. But, out of 1,000,000 bad people in the world, there is always one who is a shining ray of hope. We just have to take what's thrown at us, because life, almost in its entirety, is out of our control.

 

Human life is precious. There's no price tag, no measure of value. And yours is the same, am I right? We were all created for a reason, so your life was no coincidence or accident: the mere fact that you exist is all you need to know that you are worth it.

 

Remember these: everything in time, everything for a reason. No matter who you are, were, or will be, you are something and you are worth EVERYTHING, if not to the whole world, to at least one person on this earth. Oh yea, smile. It may make you feel stupid to smile even if you feel sad, but it really does help. A smile holds almost all the happiness in the world, no matter who it comes from.

 

(Check out a song by Ani DiFranco "32 Flavors", it'll give you hope :laugh:)
