Reccomendation...

edited November 2007 in General Discussion
So...I know that there is alot of people on VP that are going through <br>rough times, whether it be about your friends, pets, parents or personal<br>problems. <br><br>I thought I would share this with all of you :)<br><br>Today at school I got introuble and was sent to OCS for the day<br>(OCS=On Campus Suspension)<br><br>During third period they let us take a trip to the library, and let me tell you<br>the book I found made me see my life in a whole new perspective.<br><br>And I'm not just saying that. I'm being completley honest, truthful and <br>serious.<br><br>The book I found was called Life Strategies for Teens. It was written by <br>James Hurst, also known as Dr. Phils son :roll: <br><br>Now, before today I hated the fact of having some professional know it all<br>to have to tell you how to live your life (in other words a therapist, or<br>counselor) But this book made me realize the difference it can make in <br>your daily lives.<br><br>One thing I absolutley hate is hypocritical adults >.> <br>I come home every day to my parents telling me what to do and what not<br>to do. If I was to translate it it would be: "Do what I say and you'll get <br>through life fine. It doesn't matter what you think, it's all about what I <br>think."<br><br>The fact that parents, teachers, and most adults don't take us teens <br>seriously, makes me very angry. One day soon, we will part of the this<br>country that pays taxes, struggles with house payments, etc. etc.<br><br>And...what about what I want? What about what I care about?Doesn't<br>any of that matter to them? <br><br>They act like children aren't capable of anything good, and it pisses me<br>off. <br>I hate the way that teachers tell you that you need to act your age, and<br>brainwash you into being the same as them....the people that no one likes<br>I hate that people judge you for whats on the outside rather than what<br>there is inside.<br>I hate that when I talk no one seems to listen.<br><br>All the anger thats built up inside of me is to much to handle. And it seems<br>like nobody wants to do anything to help.<br><br>Yesterday I hated life...<br><br>Today I know that you have to make the most out of it, and that there are<br>things you can do to make it a better environment for you to live in.<br><br>There may be speedbumps in your life, but just push the peddle....<br>What are you waiting for?<br><br>There's things out there that some of us don't even know exist, and we're<br>sitting not even attempting to get out and see them.<br><br>So...I just hope that this might have helped everyone. And if you're ever<br>feeling like you want to beat someones face in, just kick back and have<br>a look at Life Strategies for Teens.<br><br>No joke...it changed my life...what about yours?<br><br><br>-Moonlight

  • everything .....except for the pets part....<br><br>The one thing I really like about it is that hes 20 so he can relate to us<br>since he was our ages not too long ago...and he talks about what <span style="font-weight:bold"><span style="font-style:italic">WE</span></span> want...<br><br>not our parents, our teachers, or anyone else...just us :)
  • i started thinkin about it deeply how we should forget the past focus on now more and more everytime the tv is on someone is killed or somthing and then its like we should live life and then this morning i actually thought i was dieing i couldnt breathe and no one was home and i couldnt talk either so yelling would have done no good neither would finding my phone and freaking out

  • forgetting the past is always good...especially if you've had problems<br><br>with things like that...its better to move on in life than be sagged down <br>by a burden.
