The gun that won that old Wild West

My dad was a lot like that too. He was popular in high-school, was on the football team, made straight A's and came from a family who weren't rich, but still had plenty of money. Long story short, despite people telling him he could do anything he wanted, having perfect grades and being popular, he's now the biggest loser you could imagine. He lives in a tin house in his parents back yard built for him (by his parents). His parents give him some money every week for whatever drugs he wants to buy, and is unable to support himself without his parents. He got a job at a gas station a little while ago, and got fired after a week. I really... don't like... that bastard. I'll be going to high-school in a few months for the first time, in a new town. I'll never be that kid who's popular on the football team or who has money or makes straight A's. But from what I've seen, it obviously doesn't mean much. My uncle is the only one who ever did anything in his life and is more successful than anyone I know, and he dropped out of high-school. |

Oh my God Zero, that was post of the year. Stewbear, listen to this mans words. And Obsessive Fan Girl, that was a class post as well. Stew, YOU feel discriminated? You should of seen what I went through as a teenager! Just because you have to click an "I'm 18" button doesn't equal "Oh, the world hates me, teenagers have got a hard ***** life, people don't understand us." Yeah man, I was living on the side of the damn street at 16 without a damn house. I've been taking literacy classes because I never got the chance to learn or be productive at school! You're living in a nice house, you have a computer, you look at porn, smoke weed, what more do you want? Seriously? When you're feeling bad you can listen to whatever you want, look at porn whenever you want, smoke weed at your own will, you've got a great life. I don't understand the whole persona that you have of "the worlds so difficult, being a teenager is impossible" crap. Deal with it. It's hard, but what the hell are you complaining about! The little button you have to click when you're looking at porn? I'm sincerely happy for you that you didn't have a difficult life, because if this is how you react to stupid things that surely doesn't matter, how would you react to getting your face kicked in because your ginger? My little brother gets teased for being ginger, and sometimes gets beaten down. And you're here complaining about ***** all? Millions of people on this planet will NEVER experience the luxuries you experience every damn day! So stop whining and moaning! /rant |

I understand what you're saying. I shouldn't of said some of the stuff I've said and shouldn't of made this topic, I realize I'm coming off as a whiny douche bag, and I'm sorry. My life has been strange at times but I've never had a hard life, for a good portion of my life the only thing I've ever had to complain about is, well... nothing. I'm sorry you had to go through that when you were growing up, hearing stuff like that really makes me feel like a real *****. Edited by Plush, Jul 16 2011, 10:06 PM.

No need to apologize. Sometimes I get over agitated and what not. Well, you don't come off as a whiny douche bag, just somebody who hasn't really experienced true pain. Well, maybe you have but when you're older life becomes harder. Don't get me wrong, life as a teenager is turbulent and difficult. But when you're trying to put bread on the plate it gets harder. Here's a simpler way of putting it. As a teenager when you fail the test, you can always pass the next one. When you're older and ***** up at work, maybe you could get fired. And then you're going hungry for a little while. I don't want to be pontificating about my own life, let's just say it was messy and difficult. Even now it's difficult. But, if I had the fate of a child in my hands, I think it would be better to be in your shoes growing up than in mine. |

/agree with everything said here. High school was a pretty crap time for me, got bullied and all that, but it was a good time. I'm at uni now and while i think it's fantastic the pressure is so much greater and i'm paying out of my ears for it. Mess up a paper and thats $4000 down the drain. I know being a kid is hard, we've all been there, but there IS a reason people say enjoy it while you can. Make the most of the fact that in general you aren't as restricted as most adults. You may get told off for making too much noise or chucking a balloon on someones window but perhaps if you were 10 years older you could be arrested? There is still plenty of things to do as a kid. Yea, porn is something most people can watch, even though it is illegal. But there are reasons for it being illegal. When you're younger you're brain is still developing and you are much more impressionable and influenced. Porn isn't real, and exposure to it at a young age isn't necessarily going to be a good thing -> I do know people who expected relationships / sex to be just like that. At least thats how I view it. When you're 18 you're much more developed and accepted by society (and science) to be in a position where you are better able to make a choice for yourself and in your own right. It's not to say that you CAN'T make the choice now, but more than they want you to be in a better position to choose. Dunno if that made much sense but yea, enjoy life!! It's definitely one of my greatest times ~Tim |
