You Are Most Probably A Hater.

[Euphanasia]

Ok let me just say first off that I respect Preach's opinion because he contributes a lot to this forum and knows his shit. I will say that I voted option A (i'm the only one i think thus far) because although i'm not some retard who will attest that money buys happiness i have no pity or empathy for losers like Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton who have every advantage in life and all this money that they didn't earn and don't deserve and still end up in jail and rehab when all of these unfortunate hardworking people stay legit and pay their bills every month. Now, I've been drinking a little and this may not be what Preach is getting at in this thread but that's what came to mind so I'm going to voice it.
peace

well i have never really felt depressed and plenty of bad things have happened in my life that i could piss and moan about but i dont, i just get on with it. so i find it hard to believe that a celebrity with good looks and lots of money can really be so badly depressed that they try and kill them selves.

i think it was puff who said suicide is taking the easy way out, i 100% agree with that. i had a mate that tried to OD from pain killers last year after his girlfriend broke up with him. i found that really weak and lost alot of respect for him, especially because he was 17.

Its a huge topic and there is a lot to talk about. One thing though:

If you have parents who are "good people" meaning, they care about you, they teach you about important things in life (knowledge, respect, ect), they just love you and so on...and you are growing up in a good environment, plus being able to afford a nice "materialistic life" (basically everything you have mentioned Rizzle) and then you become depressed/moan about your life...now thats something i cant understand/tolerate at all!!

Just by taking a look at the world, and knowing in which kind of circumstances hundred millions of people have to grow up in....its a huge failure by yourself not being able to live a happy life.

so i find it hard to believe that a celebrity with good looks and lots of money can really be so badly depressed that they try and kill them selves.

Maybe someday they realize that they failed as a human being. They have failed doing something meaningful with their life.

Good look is worth shit in the end. It vanishes over the years. And money, yes, its definitely very helpful and supportive because it gives you the feeling of saftey/security.

We should should all strive for becoming a good human. The thing is, everyone has a different opinion about "what is good?".

First let me say that I read your extremely long and excellent post Preach. I really identify with you on a few things. I like you had what is considered a good life. Good parents, nice house in a nice area and a nice school. My parents aren't rich by any means but we could still afford most luxuries that a lot can't.

When i started high school I was, like you said, a guys guy. I played hockey, basketball, volleyball(don't laugh) and golf. I had good grades and good friends but one day I decided to smoke weed. At first it was just something to do on the weekends but eventually it just became an every day thing, I started doing other drugs, hanging out with drug dealers and other people who were into drugs and liked to party. I started skipping school all the time and basically fell out of society. I was always told to avoid people like me and that people like me were considered "losers" but in my mind I was living the fucking life, I pitied the sober people, I thought they were missing out on the best times in life. Eventually my friends started becoming bums, serious crimanls, big drug dealers, etc. and I started to feel like I was sinking into a life I no longer wanted. I felt hopeless, lost, etc. and it just got worse with each day. I would see people I used to hang out with and envy them and their straight lives. Today I've managed to straighten my life out a bit. I have a job, have money saved up for school, I start school in a week actually. I still use drugs but not on the same level I used to. I feel my biggest problem to be making new friends. I just feel so different from the people I meet who have no idea about the highs and lows of drugs of what that life is like. I feel like I can't connect with them and that they don't understand me because our experiences are so different. Like you and masta247 said I have no idea what to do to be happy. I see all these happy people around me enjoying life and I can't join them in that. Its exactly like I'm just waiting to find someone to make me happy or somewhere where I can be happy.

Da funk man your story = my story except the drugs and volleyball and golf thing

I feel you in 100% because that's exactly what I've been thru.

thanks for the kudos, and yes, we seem to be able to relate.

a tip. it's not like it's gonna make you feel more like a part of society or anything. But start reading a couple of newspapers and maybe even like a sports illustrated or science illustrated type of magazin... a day. just give it a few weeks so that your information is up to par with the real world, and you may feel that you have more to talk about with your friends.

also, if you are so lucky, try and find a best friend type person and try and hang out with just that person for a while, assuming its a person you dont dislike. crowds larger than 4 people stress me. i prefer a one on one lol. serious though.

maybe you tried and know about both these things, but they worked for me
