You know what? That was a great statement, Sarah! Kudos to you! :)

Oh Beaut. Your just getting a taste of life's obstacles. I know it's hard- hey no one has it easy. Even the rich and famous complain how hard it is.

AMHD is here for support and guidance- you just need to keep that head up, and grit your teeth when it gets tough.

Life gives you obstacles so you'll get the rewards.

I'm 13... I want to be a kid... I want to have fun, I don't want to wake up unhappy and miserable... I understand that what happens is life... but why does it have to be like this?

If life was easy we'd be easy. It's hard so we can be stronger, smarter and help the ones whom are down.

At 13 my life was pretty cruddy too. I've had my ups and downs, and I'm sure Clough can say he's had his.

Live your life and strive to make it a good one. You don't want to leave this world saying "poor pitiful me".

Sarah

I don't think that porely of myself... and um, how are you?

How old are you** that's what I meant.

Yes, I've certainly had my ups and downs in life and I'm still here and fighting and living hard!

I could get on a "pity pot" if I choose to, but I choose not to.

For me, I'm 52. I have two children who are in their upper twenties.

Pity pot?

I did not intend for you to take it to offense. When I said "poor pitiful me" I meant your attitude: so sad and not wanting to move on on your own.

I'm 22, I have a 2 year old, I just got separated with her dad, I'm sure if you dig around and look for my threads you'll see my life ain't so cheery, but somehow I am happy. I do have my moments of sadness but I do recover.

Sarah

"Pity pot" means feeling sorry for yourself and broadcasting it to others.

I didn't take it as an offence... I was just saying... and I'm sorry if I make things harder for you... you do know you don't have to be helping me...

Hey if I didn't want to help people I wouldn't be here kiddo ;)

No worries on my side; it takes a lot for me to get stressed out.

Sarah

So, what about writing a song?

You think I feel sorry for myself?

No I think your just sad that your friend left, your confused and quite lost.

That is how I see it m'dear.

Sarah

Thank you... and as far as writing a song... I don't know... I'm better at poetry.

Your poetry could be turned into a song. But, if you aren't interested in that, I do understand.

Thanks!

Yea, plus I can't sing...

It's just a way to express yourself. You wouldn't need to be able to sing it. Although, I'm sure that you could with the proper training.

Thanks!
