Bad Years

[Beruche]

Do you ever have bad years?I know everyone has bad days but has anyone had bad years where everything seems to go wrong and nothing good ever happens.I have had more bad years than good years.This year has been especially bad.In fact these past 3 years have been especially bad.I hardley ever seem to be happy.
I'm sure most of you are tired of me complaining all the time.
Sorry http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/frown.gif

[Max Whittaker]

Sometimes it helps to write down your complaints.

1997 was pretty bad. My brother was acting like a real jerk and I was experiencing growing pains for the first time.

[Max Whittaker]

I think this year has been very bad for a lot of people. You aren't alone.

[LaverneShirley]

Why, yes, I have. August 1998 to about March 2001. Almost 3 full years that were just horrible. I went through the whole depression ordeal. But in the past few months things have really been better.

[coily2]

When I was 13 until I was about 16 really sucked. It gets better, I promise!

[moofomoo]

This past year so far has been brutal. I'm telling ya, if I could have changed last December's events, I would have...and maybe I wouldn't have gone through so much crap. When I'm back to having the full use of both my legs, I'm going to be grateful for that EVERY DAY!

It's gonna be a bad year til I am back to running. I miss running. And dancing. I'm gonna take up dance classes when I get the use of both legs again, that's just it. And back to auditioning too...

Sorry for my complaining too, yeah we all have bad years. No one escapes them, I'm sure. Then again, we have to be grateful for the good that is hidden in the bad.

**Gracie**

[Kay Scarpetta]

I have had a few bad years, but this being the worst. Between September 11th, my best friend almost dying, and me being a real stupid ass and not using my head, I am so glad 2001 is coming to an end.

But somehow, I will show the world what's inside my heart, and be loved for who I am. Who is that girl I see, staring straight back at me? Why is my reflection someone I don't know? Must I pretend that I'm someone else, for all time? When will my reflection show who I am inside? There's a heart that must be free to fly. That burns with a need to know the reason why.

Everyone says Childhood and teenagehood is so good but I don't think it is.
Being a teenager is really depressing, all the exams, either being treated too much like a child or too much like an adult, I'm looking forward to going out and getting a job, and for the first time in my life not be told what to do all the time!

I hear ya!
I don't know why everyone says that your teenage years are the best years of your life. I think the best years of my life were when I was between that ages of 7 and 11. The worst years of my life was when I was 14 up untill I was about 17 - I was so messed up! I did a lot of stuff that I'm not proud of and, looking back on it now, I have no idea how I managed to get through it all cos my head was so messed up.
But I did get through it - I'm 19 now and I like to think I'm a little more well-adjusted than I was.
When I was 16 I used to hate hearing people say "it's just a phase, you'll grow out of it, blah blah blah..." cos it sounded so patronising - but it's true. Things can and will get better.
Best of luck - hang in there!

Don't believe it gets better as you get older. The teenage years can be bad, but sometimes life doesn't give you the best years in the future.

That's how life works. You get good, bad, and ugly. And if you're smart you live, learn and move on...but it doesn't mean you don't deal with bad along the way. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Your right I'm 12.I hope your right I'm tired of getting c's I'm tired of losing all the friends I have and I'm tired of being sick all the time.

[Max Whittaker]

It will get better. I believe it's an age thing. However, you may always have friend problems and C's unless you want to try to work harder to change that. Actually, it is true that bad years will be with you all your life, but just think about all the good years ahead of you. Just keep on the bright side and remember, you'll always have a friend in me. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

[DarleneIllyria]

I really hate it when people say the teenage years are the best years. My opinion is that my teenage years sucked. My grandfather and grandmother died. I had depression problems and still have problems with my depression. It just sucked all the way around. I hope it does get better as I get older.

Teenager's problems are exasperated by adults, in part because of what Jenny said that people say, "Teenage years are the best years." Adults frustrate teenagers by not taking them seriously. "It's just a phase," they say. Other times they come down too hard on them thinking that they're going to "nip it in the bud." So, a kid feels misunderstood and alone. No one could truthfully promise that life will get easier, but at least your horizons will open up and you'll have more opportunity to determine your own fate.

[DJM77]

1991 was the worst for me. I have struggled with depression for most of my life but in 1991 it was at it's absolute worst. I was not on the proper medication back then and I had become very suicidal. I got put in a psychiactric hospital for a month. I was even more miserable in that place and I spent my 14th birthday there. When I got out I wasn't much better but at least I wasn't suicidal anymore and I haven't been ever since.

We are so much alike, you know that right? Im tired of getting in trouble and everything else in school. Im losing friends left and right which is something I cannot really help. Then I must have been to 7 different doctors within the past month for depression/drug overdose and now I am in therapy for 2+ months. And I really dont even know why I am telling you all this, but thats ok.

This post really opened up my eyes yall. I never thought, nor realized so many people have bouts with depression. I know a lot of people have depression, but I never knew that so many young teenagers experience it. Sorry...I was just thinking to myself.

IMO, teenagers feel alone because we don't really know where we are in life. We're not children... but we're not adults either. And that's a tough spot to be in. Some of us try to grow up too quickly, others not quickly enough. Our confusion makes adults see us as immature and disrespectful which in turns makes us more lonely, because our parents don't seem to understand.

Like I said, for me, most of junior high was spent dealing which slight depression. I happened to write several diary entries telling how I felt and how much I hated my life. Well, little did I know that my parents actually search my room. They found it and read it. They yelled at me. They YELLED at me for being depressed. As if that helped. They have forever destroyed the trust I had with them. So now, even though I'm not depressed anymore, it is not because of them. In fact, the made worse because I now feel like I can't trust them and I have begun distancing myself. They had already tested my limits by forcing religion on me. But this was too much.

I'm sorry. You really don't need to know every detail of my life. But I felt llike I had to get it out. You can ignore this if you wish to, I understand.

My parents are always yelling at me for being depressed.I wonder if they think it helps?They tell me to at least look like I'm happy so people won't notice.

[Truth]

yeah i just turned 14 and being 13 was real hard...... Hopefully being 14 isnt worse....

[Kitt]

Laverneshirley: Parents don't have all the answers, as you know. When they can't help they sometimes hurt. They become irrational and deserve your animosity. It's a shame but they are only people struggling through life same as you. Don't turn your anger inward, Don't feel guilty about shunning them for forcing religion on you and yelling at you for being depressed. Parents lean on that old "We were only trying to do what we thought was best for you," line. Well, you don;t have time for that. Seek advise and compassion elsewhere. You have a life to live.

I can't believe you posted that!!! "Drugs forever"? That's the most ignorant, stupid thing I've EVER read on this board!
I don't know how you can say that the other people who replied to this topic are "wierd" when you obviously have some real problems of your own. Excessive drinking and drug taking isn't cool at any age - and definately not when you're only 14.

you know what, thats sad. I've overdosed on things, thats why I am in the jam I am in now. I have never even told anyone this, but I've tried cocaine, and trust me, it IS addicting. Now being the semi-smart person I am, I didn't stick with it. I've gotten drunk once or twice and it isn't fun. Drugs, Alcohol, and everything else, they just mess your life up. I feel like I have actually thrown some of my life away. Just take a minute and think next time you speak, ok?

I usually don't post things like this, but you are a true dumbass. You're 14 years old and doing all that stuff? Granted I'm no goody two shoes- far from it, but atleast I wasn't screwed for life by the age of 14. If what you say is true, you will probably be pregnant by age 15.

Karli,

You may be only 12, but I can tell from your post that you regretted some of the things that you did. Unlike the ignorant poster that I quoted who brags on a message board about all her triumphs in the drug and alcohol world. I hope it didn't sound like I was being mean to you, because I was just directing my anger to Cara.

I can't belive someone would post something like that!I'm really not very interested in drugs or anything like that.I just can't see what drinking and drugs do for you other than cause health problems and get you in trouble.

[Cokies]

I feel sorry for you all who have dealt with depression at a young age. I can't understand what can make it so bad being a teenager. I'm one, and of course, I've had my bad times, and I've felt alienated. But it's more "in the moment". When I look at those times in perspective, I realize that I was overreacting or being melodramatic.
I guess I'm lucky because I have supportive parents and good friends(even though they're kind of lame right now...)to walk by my side through a lot of things.
I'm really sorry that some of you don't seem to have that in this stage of your life.
