I have no right to complain about anything.

 

I have it so good. I'm a North American teenage girl who has so many opprotunities and should use them.

 

But no: I must be selfish and not do any of my shit. I'm a week or more behind in all my classes even though it's only the 3rd week of school. I really do think that they should put some less fortunate kid in my place at Westgate, because at least then the recources will be used and won't be wasted on a selfish punk like me.

 

I guess it's good that I at least realize how spoiled I am. I think about it all the time lately: For example, today Ian Tyson (the comedian, not the singer) came to our school and in his comedy/motivational speech he said "High school's hard..." and I immediately thought "No it's not. Poverty is hard. High school is just a place where spoiled brats like me come to mainly chat and maybe learn something if they can get off their lazy ass and use the opprotunity effectively."

 

However, just thinking about how lucky I am all the time doesn't justify my selfishness. I really should get up off my ass and do some work..however I know very well as soon as I'm done writing this I'm off to sleep and I will get up 20 minutes before the first bell rings at school and end up late/just about late for class.

 

Writing this all down doesn't justify my selfishness either. It just gives me a writen summary of myself (written by myself) to look back on, and maybe hit me hard a day I forget how spoiled I am.

 

*sigh*

Pretty big thoughts for a spoiled teenager?

Re: I Feel As If...
I suppose. I know their are MUCH more spoiled people out their than I.

However, I can't stop thinking lately about how good I got it, and I always end up comparing myself to the African kids or the kids in the holocaust who had to work at factories for 12+ days...and then I feel like a peice of shit for taking advantage of my opprotunities (IE school).

I know exactly how you feel. But if it bugs you that bad... do something about it? Take advantage of the things at school, have fun, enjoy your advantages. The only direction you can go in life is forward.

Re: I Feel As If...
That's what I've been trying to do. I've been really working on getting motivated so I don't make the same mistakes as last year and end up failing classes.

 

I also think if I start helping others more that I'd feel better. Once I get motivated and start to get into the groove of doing work, I think I'm going to help my friends more or do charity work.

Re: I Feel As If...
lol, i thought i had left a reply to this yesterday... but it seems i just meant to and didn't actually do it!!! ^_^

i really don't think you're as bad as you think you are.... you're being waaaaay too hard on yourself, which [at this level of being mean to yourself] won't do any good. In a twisted sort of way this self loathing thing is probbably being used [not conciously!] as an excuse for not doing other things. It goes something like "i suck so bad that i can't even do my homework... so what's the point in trying?"  i guess it's kinda like a self fufilling prophesy? [spelling sucks, btw!]

my advice from experience is to try not to think so negatively and bash on yourself, that does no good when it's not constructive criticsm. Aaaand, what helped me the most was rewarding myself when i did things i was supposed to do! for example "after i write this paper i can have some ice cream!! woot woot!"

it helped me a lot! scouts honor!

:-)

Re: I Feel As If...
Lol, thanks for all the advice. I've heard this a million times before and sometimes I need to hear it again. I completely agree: it really does help. But I've been doing btter..like for example, yesterday I actually did a tiny microscopic bit of homework! Not enough to help me much at all, but still, enough to make me feel like "Hey! I'm not as stupid as I think I am!" 

 

Thanks so much ^_^ *hugs*

*giant hugs back* ^_^
and you're nowhere near as stupid as you think you are! you're really smart, it's easy to tell... for example, you don't type like an idiot. lol. and you make sense!!!
kristalstjean on
Re: I Feel As If...
Yay! Thanks ^_^

Lol... Well, I don't type like an idiot anymore because I'm more concious of how I type now-a-days. Every now and then I go back to my old blogs and I made no sence back then I used sentences like "Heyyy there u guys ", I had run-on sentences, used way too many smilies, etc.

 

But I guess that's just growing up, . Plus now I actually proof read before I reply to a comment or make a blog (unless I am in a rush or something).

Re: I Feel As If...
nah, even then it wasn't that stupid, either. i've seen waaaay worse! and you can never have too many smilies :-)

"wut up grlie? r u two gud fur us peeps?"

that kind of thing pisses me off. :-P

kristalstjean on
Re: I Feel As If...
Teehee. Thanks^_^
And that is the sort of "chat" that pisses me off as well. That's way to much text talk D:
