OK, I'm gonna put my foot in my mouth and sound patronising but I really don't mean to.

When I was in my teens life sucked. Some people say their teenage years were the best years of their lives.

These are people who settled down with the first gimp that came their way and gave up on their social life, carear, friendships and own opinions. They are sad, vapid wankers.

Teenage years are shit.

You are at the shittest point in life.

When you're a kid, you're free from any responsibilites or burdens. You don't have to work, you play all day and someone looks after you.

When you're an adult, you're free from any domination or house rules. You get as pissed as you like, stay up as late as you'd like and eat as many biscuits as you'd like. You can also buy 'variety' packs of cereal.

As a teenager you don't get any of the above benefits. You're smart enough to be deprived of the 'child benefits' but no-one will take you seriously enough to give you any 'adult benefits'. To top it all off, you will feel like the biggest idiot ever.

When I was 17, I hated my appearance. I hate my face, I hated my body, I hated everything. Go to http://www.prinze.org/cpg...t=&pos=-16 and what do you see?

Nothing unreasonable but when I was 17, that face was the face of Beelzebub's bottom.

It get's so much better, I promise you. The first big improvement is when you start to like yourself more. Is that avatar you? Because if it is, you are LAUGHING! The lady in your avatar is a foxy lady. If that's you, then all that' seprating you from real happines is self-awareness.

Honestly.

It's got to get better.(Another good thing about being an adult-no more gym class! Gym class-always a bad thing who came up w/ that dumb idea anyway?)
Yes, that's me in the avatar.

You know, sometimes colleges have phys. ed. requirements.

Well, LaCoyta, there is definitely nothing wrong with your looks! Take it from someone who hit rock bottom in his teens (and I mean as low as you can go) that one day life will be great. The people who lead miserable, dull lives when they're get to 30, lead pleasent, harmless early years. You've got to have experinced shit to understand what great is. All those folk your age who seem to be leading an easy, stress-free life, will grow up to lead boring, crap lives. All the people I used to envy have grown up to be accountants. You're different, it feels like a curse now but, dammit, it'll grow into a blessing!

So I'm actually gonna answer this kind of seriously because I was just thinking about this very concept of people wanting to be rich and thin.

Rich, I don't know about, I'd like to try it someday. What I can tell is the richest people I know (we're talking rich-list serious millions rich) are among the stupidest and most neurotic people I know. I don't envy them, well only their stuff and stuff is not that important, you do realise that, don't you?

Thin, I know ALL about. I'm probably about 20 lbs underweight, always have been, and I'm always tired. You can strike that because it's one less thing in life you need. GO FOR HEALTHY.

Beautiful...sounds like you'll waste far too much time and energy (and probably money) focussing on this bullshit concept until you get to an age where you realise it's not that important...what happened to smart or kind or funny??

You said you were 19, didn't you. One's thing for sure, your skin is probably kick ass, old women pay stupid amounts of money on products and plastic surgery to try and get a 19 year olds skin. If you only need to lose 7 lbs pray to god giving thanks.

Have you seen 'Bowling for Columbine'? The basic idea is that the media wants to keep people afraid so that they'll go out and buy advertised shit we don't need because we think it'll make us fulfilled. You won't find fulfilment in richness, thinness or beauty. Music often works for me, a good fuck does too. Try those.

I realise stuff isn't important but I get a special sense of security when I get to add more money to my savings account and being able to give people nice presents for Christmas wouldn't suck.
I realize that alot of rich are stupid (Christina Agulira spends $250 on per PAIR of UNDERWEAR! That's a revolting mis-use of money)
You can bet if I had her money I'd buy a purple PT Crusier, a nice apartment, some new (slightly more expensive than what I wear now)clothes and stick the rest into a savings account or something.
I used to be 5 lbs thinner than I am today. I lost a pound today but tomorrow I'll probably gain it back and lose it next week, then gain it back and lose it, etc.

Someday I may end up going to a 2 year business college. What kind of opportunities are avialible to someone w/ a degree from a business college?
