“My life is not very good sometimes. I wish I were someone else. I tried finding my way out of life, but I know I would hurt the people that really love me.”
Sandy, Age 16
“It is hard to realize that the people we love are the ones who can hurt us the most—but forgiving is half the healing.”
Adriana, Age 16
Growing up in a home, and all you see is disagreements. Don’t like to tell anyone, because you don’t want them to know that your suffering. Your only a teenager, or a little younger. Nobody will understand your pain, not even an adult. Children deal with pain and depression more differently than adults to use to. If only they would take the time to sit down and see what we are feeling. I know if you look at me, you will see that I’m hurting. I don’t like perfect, nobody does. Wishing you were another that didn’t have these problems. Children think of killing themselves because of the pain they go through, but some stop and think of their love ones. Some family members care, others don’t give a rats tail. Its depressing feeling like no one loves you and that your world is coming to an end. Yes, the ones that we love, hurts us the most, which make us not want to love anyone besides ourselves. Forgiving? That word doesn’t exist to most, but for some, it is their was of getting over their depression. Parents do horrible things to their children, even if their visible or not. I feel that a child’s pain, is the worst pain. Every child should be able to be happy, but does the word happiness mean? most of us have no clue. Trying to think positive, but only negative thoughts come to mind. Parents drama, can lead a child into the wrong lifestyle. They start believing that drama is life. Messed up marriages, abuse, and depression, become their believes. They only believe in, what they’ve seen their whole life. Teenagers, how will yours end up?
