Some people never understand.

[Smear]

Ok, so I'm a massive rager on the XBOX for reasons which I'm about to share. My friend which has a 'perfect' life says to me "Shut the f*** up" and "You're so f***ing annoying."
I was so tempted to cut him down so f***ing much by asking him this simple questions.

"Do you have a good life?"
Either way he answered, I could cut him down.
He has a great life. His family is practically rich, his parents own a house, his parents are still together and he gets anything he asks for.
My life is s*** on toast. You know what, it sucks so much that it's on moldy bread.

My family is poor, we can't afford much. Meaning that we rent. We're getting kicked out of our house, so we need to find a new one is less than 6 weeks.
He gets things he asks for straight away. I usually have to wait until my birthday or Christmas.
I live with my mother and sister and it's their 'time of the month'. My house is loud and stressed right now.
And the thing that has scarred me mentally and emotionally the most is my parents divorce. To let it out 5 years ago, I used to right down "I hate my life" on notes, scrunch them up and throw them away. I wrote down on something for school a while back, "I'm not very happy, I don't really laugh and I mostly frown" with a picture of my face with a frown.
Also, I'm really short, so I get a s***ton of bullying from school. I've been holding back my anger and sadness for SO LONG now, that I can barely hold it in. Which is the reason I rage alot. The internet and the XBOX are the only ways I can escape my s***ty life.

My friends will NEVER understand what I've been through and why I'm so angry nowadays.

Cool story bro.

But on a serious note, [complain]ing to your friends and [complain]ing to YCM won't make your life any better. Either channel your negative energy to writing depressing poems and becoming a famous poet or tell your mom and sister how you feel. I mean, I doubt your mom's super duper happy she's 32+ years old, raising two kids on one salary and being thrown out of her house. Walk a mile in her shoes and etc etc.

Edit: Oh hey. The word bitching isn't auto-censored, but the word b**** is... Fascinating.

[Icy]

I'm in an even worst situation but I was never filled with negativity. Keep a chin held high and [u]DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT![/u]

[Limited Edition KING]

... I've never seen any anger/sadness in your replies in our conversations, you've always seemed happy to me man.

Just ignore the bullies, you can achieve success by not being the tallest guy. Just focus on the positives that's what I try to do everyday.

[аlex]

I'm living in a worse conditions then that, you don't see me complaining... Seriously, raging won't sort anything out for you.

[JG.]

I'm kinda surprised that you have a computer and spend time on YCM instead of working and earning money, if you're as poor as you say.

My point exactly... I have two jobs:

Schedule

- Wake up - 5:00am, practice Taekwondo

- Set off for Uni - 6:00am

- Get to Uni - 8:00am

- Skip Uni and go to work at Topman - 11:00am

- Finish work at 5:00pm

- YCM, leisure - 8:00pm

- Set off for the MI:5 night shift, no I'm not an agent, I applied for a job as a janitor. - 9:00pm

Finish work at roughly 1:00am

Go to sleep and then repeat.

I don't think anything gets me quite as annoyed as people saying "I or some starving kid in Detroit has it worse off then you, so you shouldn't complain." F[orget] that noise. By your logic, only one person in the entire world has the right to complain, the guy at the very bottom of the ladder.

I don't think anything gets me quite as annoyed as people judging others for their opinions. I'm not saying he's not allowed to complain, I'm saying he shouldn't, I'm not forbidding it but there is always going to be someone worse of then you, as you said, and I never complain about it as that thought makes me think "I'm not at the bottom of the ladder, I sure am glad".

All I'm trying to get across is; be happy for what you've got because someone out there would take a life to have what you have.

I can hardly afford this computer let alone an Xbox.

[Dismal Euphony]

I've been in the same situation as you, my friend. Minus the bullying and whatnot because I was actually semi-popular. But, other than that, I've been in the same place as you. I know what it's like growing up poor and uncertain of tomorrow. I know what it's like to lose your house. I've been through that. I was homeless for over a month when I was in middle school. Let me tell you one thing; complaining about it does NOTHING. You can complain until you're blue in the face, but it's not going to make a difference. You have to MAKE a difference. Get a job, help out, do whatever you can do to work towards bettering your situation. You think your life is awful? Imagine how your mother feels. She's lost a husband, she's put her children through that divorce, she, from the sounds of it, can't provide for her children as much as a parent wishes they could and she's currently looking at eviction. Imagine how SHE feels. It's not going to make her feel ANY better if you're just moping around, depressed, doing nothing. It's just going to make her feel worse. I know it sounds hard, but you need to make the best of this situation and do what you can to help out. At this point in your life, FU.CK your friends and what they say. They're never going to understand how you feel until they're in your shoes and raging out on them isn't going to change that. It's just going to leave you with one less friend.

In the end, you may hit rock bottom and slowly recover, but at the end of the day, it's only going to make you stronger. It's only going to mold you into a better person for the future.

So you get 4 hours of sleep? ...Dude, I think I'd die if that was me. I'm glad my dad has a (fairly) high-ranking job at Nokia o.O

You are a cruel and terrible person that eat puppies and you can't say anything back because it's my opinion.

TC:

No one wants to hear QQs over the internet. PM somebody if you really want to, but threads like these are pretty much attention whoring and just clutter general.

You're seriously going to call those low-lives "friends"?
If I had those people in my life, I'd end them quick so I'd never have to deal with them again.

Pain is pain; the only thing that matters is who's pain we deal with first.

Honestly, you won't be top priority with this kind of situation. I know it'll hurt and it'll be a trauma in your life right now, but you can't let it get to you. You can't let it ruin who you are. Instead of complaining, why don't you try to help the situation? Because honestly, YOU CAN HELP. You aren't in the slums yet, so do your best to raise the situation and support your family.

When it comes to bullying, stop letting them walk all over you. Be confident, be smart.
Don't make a half-assed decision, but try to end the bullying by showing said bullies that they're waisting their time. Get adult help too. You might even need to turn them in.

And you know, each individual is important, but can't be priority to a large general population base. That's why we have best friends or people we're close to that can help us out. But when you complain about it to a general board and forum, none of us will really help or care about it. Our world is dealing with so much more disasters that one individual's problem isn't the priority or can come close to it. Think of a whole nation who gets thrown out onto the streets, has to still deal with child labor and communism, teens being sold to prostitute houses at an early age so their parents can get money, little children struggling so much for that education they can't afford, and cannibalism, as well as murder and rape, everywhere. Yeah, you really don't have it that bad. And these are situations that are so hard hitting, they can't be helped. When in your situation, you can at least try to do your best to make everything better for yourself.

My parent's divorce was one of the happiest things to happen to me. All my parents did was scream and fight. After the divorce, an atmosphere I've never experienced called sanity flowed through the house, and with that distance between my mom (she moved out) and myself, our relationship greatly improved. Of course, pizza on Fridays was over.

So, yeah. I don't have drama (thank God.) A lot of stress (I get frustrated easily,) but no drama, ever, and I'm in my 20's. Okay, college, work, and dealing with death of a co-worker of 5 years are the only relevant drama I've ever had.

Pro-tip: As someone who has a lot of loud people in my house, just go in your room, and close the door. Trust me, I know. When you live in a house with people who have toddlers, it can get [b][size="6"]really[/size][/b] loud.

He's allowed: He can complain as it might alleviate some built up stress. Regardless of the medium, some manner always is effective and if this helped him good on him regardless of what we have to say.

He shouldn't: Telling him it's wise not to communicate it in such a way, simply due to the fact that expressing it and doing something about it is far more effective than posting this. Sure, he can and it might help but the other is infinitely better.

Not quite the same thing =/...
