Everything you need to know.

As an (almost) adult at the age of 19 I feel that I might have a few good points to share...

One: Regardless of where you are now it will always get better.

I've been through it all when I was younger. Family problems, drugs, abusing myself and others all that mess. but i can honestly tell you that it gets SOOOOO much better. I know right now it may seem hard and it may seem like life is just never going to get better but i promise you it will.

Two: You are in control of your life so act like it.

Dont let others tell you whats cool. Don't follow trends or any of that bullshit. Be who YOU are and do what YOU like. Don't be a mindless zombie..think for yourself and what you think is right and wrong.

Three:. Be more selfish.

Maybe you like something that everyone calls "gay" or "stupid"..fuck them to be honest after high school you more than likely will never see them again. And who cares what they think do what makes YOU happy. dont conform to what other people want be original and be free

Four: Haters gunna hate

Title says it all... and again who cares what they think/say/do think more long term... will you even remember what your problem is next week? next month? honestly think back a month and think about what ur problem was no matter how small... is it a big problem now? exactly...

Five: Don't give up.

On a serious note i've been there and suicide is not the right option ever. I thank God (just an expression relax you raging atheist, im not religious) for being alive right now. I don't know whats going on in your life and honestly i cant say what to do to make it better but i can promise you it will get better. I've gone through a lot and I now know how important it is to have someone there for you that actually cares...just someone that will listen is....more than i could have asked for and I will always offer that to everyone no matter who you are...send me a message anytime I'll get back to ya and as a complete stranger what do you have to loose rather than some steam.

I'll add more stuff if this takes off... and to the maybe 1 other person who sees this I hope that it helps at least a little...
