Here's the Thing (rather you agree or disagree it's okay)

Your mood, or anything that deals with your life is controlled by you. No matter if you say "that's just the way things are" You are in control of your life. Don't let others control you as if they have your life remote control. All actions comes with a price, and you have to start taking responsibility in changing what you don't like instead and cutting and mourning about how your life sucks. Find something you enjoy!

Well said :)

When it comes down to it, you have to cheer yourself up 'cause usually nobody's gonna bother do it for ya.

i agree to a certin exstent. i mean u have a point about the cutting but what if like me you have been hurt so bad emotionaly ur not stable? i mean i try not to but once u get in the habit of doing something like that its realy hard to break that habit. its not as if somneone else is controling me or anything it is me but its not that easy to bounce back from something like that. and i am planing on getting help soon.. i think. its just hard to open up. and actions like cutting or other self harm do have consicuences some realy bad.and ur life is controled by u. and alot of ppl r realy gonna disagree with me on this but.. in a way i enjoy cutting... i know its very dumb stupid or w/e but it makes me "feel" in a way. some times i do it just to see me bleed to know i still have something inside.

Thank you ForbiddenEyes! Your are in my opinion 100% correct. Everything you do has consequenses. Their's always the good and the bad. We just have to learn to adapt to it.

You have control over your life, not anyone else. No one has the power to make decions for you, no one. Things aren't 'just the way the are,' they're what you make them to be.

I think you are 100% correct too Forbidden Eyes...I use to be one of those people who would whine and complane about cutting and keep on cutting. I understand where XxDeathAngelxX is coming from because I have been there. One day I just woke up and realized that I am in total control of my life and my actions. For example if I self harmed then I self harmed and I knew the consequenses and didn't complane because I knew It was wrong to do it. It's your own fault if you hurt yourself no one else made you self harm. although something or someone may have hurt you in the past, you and you alone are responsable for what you do to yourself. You have to make an effort to get better not just sit around and wait. it doesnt work like that.

I agree.. I actually wrote a blog like that sometime ago. This was just a shorter version of what I had to say :)

I agree to a certain extent... I'll give my true opinion... you are responsible for everything that happens in your life BUT for every rule there is an exception and the exception in this case comes from external factors.... just let me explain before you start saying I'm condtradicting myself... some external factors do affect you, for example death of a precious pearson or an unfortunate event that has deep emotional impact on you will affect you... it will test your strength, if you pass it, you're on the safe track and you'll always be in control of your life.... if you fail it, you're not going to be in control of your life... your emotions will be the ones in control of your life...

so true, you do control your life till you're hit with a test of strength, that's the turning point, ether you remain in control or you lose forever

^You make a good point. You can change how it affects you though, and hopefully in a positive way.

That is nice and I think many should not dwell on their emotions on what people say about them.

That's very true Kenshin, but as we can see from all the treads. Most of these teenagers aren't able to control their emotions, which causes them to break down, and then things become problematic. They either start getting angry and joining gangs and doing drugs, or they become really depressed and start cutting or contemplating suicide. Either way it's pretty sad. In many cases they blame their parents for certain things. I just don't know why. They are incharge of their own life and their life's decision, so why blame?

True, If I lost a close family member, I would be very depressed and mentally unstable. But sooner or later, I would have realized that I have to move on. Hard...YES, but if you have a strong connection in who you are and what you want out of life, go for it.
