How do I stop crying everyday and try to be happy with the my life situation?!?!?!?
My life went COMPLETELY upside down in a matter of weeks. I had everything: AMAZING friends, the sweetest boyfriend ever, a wonderful home, my High School that I now see is so AMAZING compared to the high school i now attend. Let me tell you a little about myself and how my life got so bad and how there is so much sadness and anger in my heart now. I’m sorry its so long but I need your help PLEASE!!!

I have 4 brothers and 4 sisters, i’m the 3rd youngest and am 17 years old. We lived in a fairly large house in Michigan all of our lives and I was fortunate enough to attend a great public school. I had really good grades and was lucky enough to be apart of a great xc and track team where I set many school records and was a state runner. Running was always my passion, My goal is to go to a D1 college on a running scholarship. My life was practially perfect exept for the fact that my family at home had a lot of problems, my father left us, my mother doesn’t work or speak english and treats my brothers much better then us girls, my brothers don’t pay rent because they made bad choices in there lives so they don’t have a steady income but every time they do have money they buy whatever they want but still lived in our house in Michigan. My older sister was the only one who had a good high paying job and paid rent, but she got so fed up with my mom treating the boys better then her even though she was the one who worked 10 hours everyday 7 days a week. And my other sisters had jobs but they were in their college years so they couldn’t pay rent. My older sister and mom fought a lot. And whenever my older sister and brother fought, my mom would take my brother’s side. So my sister told us to move out. The only one who would take us in was my oldest brother but he was living in Texas. He didn’t have a steady job though, so all 5 of us live in a 2 bedroom apartment. I was so against moving to Texas because i was in the beginning of my track season and was the #1 runner on the xc team and so everyone thought I had a big shot at state and also I knew I was going to miss my friends so much. I kept asking to stay but my older sister wouldn’t let me. My 2nd older sister and her husband moved with us because they were looking for jobs, so I kinda felt a little better because I thought that would make the financial situation much better. We moved here thinking that my brother already found a apartment, but he lied and so we spent a week looking. During that week everyone was really mad and lots of fights occur ed. My sister was really mad at my brother with all his lies so she and her husband went back to michigan. There marriage is falling apart. So my brother in law is now in California working with his uncle and being treated for Depression and my sister is 6000 in dept. Everyone is starting to hate my brother, my mom loves him though of course. I’m here with all this pressure of helping my mom and younger brother and sister. My school here in Houston is really different in a bad way compared to my school in Michigan. And the sad part is this school was the one that the registration process took so long since i am a Transfer student because the other school sucks even worse. The track team and coaches sucks too. So it’s going to have to be an individual effort this season. I’m gonna need to do really good at meets, but with all this family stress as well as financial situation it’s so hard!!! How do I stay positive when literally my days just get worse and worse. The thing that makes me so angry is the fact that we can go back if my mom apologizes to my older sister and asks her if we can come back. But my family is so fucked up that all the grown ups would rather hold to pride then be happy. I’m usually a strong person but I’ve broken down because I can’t take it here anymore, my life is falling apart and getting worse evryday.

I’m sorry it’s so long i’m not here to make you sad or feel sorry for me, I just want on some advice on what to do, I’m trying to have hope for my future but it’s so hard because my days seem to get worse and worse. I’m trying to hold on and be positive but it’s so hard. Do you think it will get better?!?!?!

of course it will get better, everything does over time and judging by what you’re going through, I’m not surprised you feel upset. When I felt down, all I wanted to do was sit and cry, which is okay, it’s good to get the emotion out some way, but crying isn’t going to solve the situation. It may seem hard now, but look months into the future and say right I need to set myself a positive goal you know? Something that being sad wont achieve. Trust me, it won’t solve all of your problems but it will help Also have confidence in yourself, keep strong and no matter how hard the situation is, don’t let it eat away at you, you’re bigger than the situation. So every time you feel like screaming and feeling like you can no longer take the stress, just count in your head and say I am bigger than this. I can cope and if you have someone that you really trust and feel that you can confide in talk to them. I really hope this has helped. Sorry it’s so long xx

Yes. Things can definitely get better for you. It might not be soon, but eventually you’ll find yourself relief. Meanwhile, things are horrible. But take a moment, and cut out all the negative things from your mind.. That’s okay to do. Spare some time to appreciate the little things in life. There’s plenty of it.

Now let me give you a heads up. The government supports those who are in need, in poverty at some point. You’re about to get in college. Your family isn’t wealthy, but there are scholarships for those who have struggled in life, just like you. Believe me, I’m SURE you can get scholarships.. Just look for them, fill them out, write essays on topics relating to your ambitions/life problems, and submit them. You’ll get in college, get a job, and support your family one day.

Keep your head held high. You’re a strong girl. After all, you lived all seventeen years of your life in hell right? Not many people has gone through ordeals you have. Be proud.

I cant believe i just read all that haha! Well i did…

im sure it will get better. Cant you go and visit your old friends? That sucks that your mom would rather have her pride than the love of her own daughter. Maybe you should talk to you your mom and make her realise shes being immature and should just say sorry to your sister, for everyone’s sakes! Best wishes! xx

By traveling a new path or a new direction in life. When you travel, travel light. Unload those heavy baggage’s in your life. I believe that it is by choice of what kind of life you want to have.
