From his story it might have appeared that his life was going nowhere and everyone, even his family hated him- but it turned out that was not the case.

I think you just need to ride it out for 2 or 3 more years. Once you're old enough, you can remove yourself from that situation and start over. There are more than 6,500,000,000 people on this world. I would have to say the odds are in your favor that ONE of them will like you. Hell, I like you. I won't deny that you've been dealt a bad hand, but before you know it you'll be free from your pain. You can leave, move away, start over, and get away from these people.

I have a friend whose situation was similar to yours. I'd tell the story, but to adequately describe her mother would require more colorful language than this board permits. To summarize though, she got away from her family and has never been happier- she's also become successful in her schoolwork, which she never has been before.

sorry to be a pest but woudln't that mean hes just a blessed one? I mean, he started off really rich which in my definition makes him blessed and then the fact that he had everything taken away led him to something greater.

I've started off poor, and not very smart or anything so that means I'm cursed. And besides, I can't pray. It feels to ludacris since it never helps anything and it just makes me feel worse.

Sorry, ya'll are probably sick of my theories and talking by now. I'll just shut up.

connie: I have an ipod shuffle if thats what you mean...even though i really wanted an ipod mini, but the shuffle is good enough for me I guess

And I hate christmas because I never get what I really want. Not to mention, now that I think about it, I broke up with my first boyfriend last Christmas so that will be painful memories of course. I think christmas is blown waaaayyy out of proportion and it usually makes me depressed. besides, I think it was just a plot made up by hallmark or some other store to get us to spend thousands on gifts....which was nice, but I just wish I was younger like I use to be cause then I had tons of gifts but now everyone forgets about me because I've gotten too old and boring.

Well you are clearly seeing the Commercial of Christmas for sure, so
be glad that you can even see through the falseness of what this
season is really about.

Well you can download some mp3's that will work on your ipod here:
Just start with LISTEN FIRST: You might bear witness with things
you really already have known but no body has edified you in knowing
certain things.....most people in the flesh just seem to be pushing others
along the way, as you know. But The IS HOPE, my friend.

You can directly download by clicking here:
http://home1.gte.net/web23vhn/First-Things-1.MP3
Other MP3's that will edify you are here:
Get ready to say "Yeah.......I seemed to have always known
this in my heart but many wouldn't dare say that I knew this."

Actually your so right.
If we don't have God's Spirit, there is not much what MAN CAN DO.
Most go on as if this is their life but remain Cursed--not dicerning
The Lord's Body. At least you don't lie about ~having God.~
Which for the most part, makes you an Honest person!

So, you are not cursed because you started off poor....by no means.
But Christ' took your curse/my curse on his body....so in Him by an Act of your will (if you want too) you are RICH.......but not like Christmas-Commerical Days but rich like PEACE where even others soon say, "Hey dude
your different......but I just can't put my finger on it......but I like it." Cause your not striving with your family member anylonger---it's a trip when they finally see this in you/in us! It's chuckling.......but we are to keep out face looking up to Jesus.

NO MY FRIEND.........you are an honest person and that's EXACTLY
WHAT GOD IS LOOKING FOR! :preach:

Read this my friend:

“The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous whom the Lord abhorreth. The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above our sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for 1 shall never be in adversity. His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity. He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: He hideth His face; He will never see it” (Ps. 10:1-7, 11).

GOD DEFENDS THE POOR!!!

Hi Hopl, don't worry you are not a pest, this is your thread post anything, anytime, no problem! The reason you can't pray is because you blame God for putting you in your situation but thats where life can break or make us. We choose to go forward or stop with trust or lack of trust that life is indeed worth living. I know its hard, it sounds very hard for your mother too with her own issues, maybe some she hasn't told you about, doesn't mean it won't get better for her and you. I'm really sorry for all the pain and hard times but tomorrow is another day, people do change, life does change , its just when hard times comes our way, which it does for everyone we need to persevere until God makes the call not us. Your not cursed and God does love you, everybody has to find ways that helps them to cope so keep trying to find little things here and there that helps you make it through a day. Everybody will agree, life can be tough at times but its still woth living and it will never stop, we are all greater than the plants and animals and have eternal worth, one day at a time, try to find some way to relax more, God bless.

I don't know if this has been covered or not, but sometimes no amount of the right thing will "cure" your depression. You may simply have a chemical imbalance that can only be treated by medication. Cognative therapy coupled with anti-depressants (for the short term) can change your outlook on life.

Take care.

Hopless,





I’m sorry about your experience with Christianity, you started off seeing it as something that’s not good. It’s not just something that works….for example my relationship with God is my life….I used to be depressed often, off and on…and when I thought about the reason of life, I would get frustrated, because I never knew what I was here for, or what mattered…..and I was such a stubborn person…..I’m glad that God is so patience…..He was so patient with me, even when I continuously turned around and walk away from Him….and then when things got really bad, I knew that I really needed Him….and my faith was so weak….but He saved me, and little by little I placed faith in Him, up to the point where I choose to accept Jesus as my Savior once and for all….my joy started at that point….and I never knew I could be so happy….because I read the bible, and my eyes were opened…..my life just started to be alive at that time…..it was amazing….

………don’t get upset at hypocrites…I hate it when I was one too….and I hated myself for it…..I’m so glad that I am myself now…because God accepts me the way I am….killing yourself won’t do anything….since you say that you’re an atheist, then what IF, it is all true…..what if you die and go to hell???.......just don’t even let your mind bring you to that point……you got more common sense than that…..Hopless, it is not a dumb question…….Asking God for help is the wisest thing to do….because God knows what’s good for us…we don’t…..

Hopless, I don’t believe that God tests us like what you say…..our lives are our choices…..what happens in your life that you can blame God for???....NOTHING…..Everyone blames everything on God, and it’s foolish, especially when you say that God does not exist…..when a person murders another person…..people blame God…why?....it’s not His fault that the murderer murders people………whatever happens, God uses it for the best……He doesn’t cause car accidents…humans do that job……Actually He’s the one that says, DO NOT MURDER, DO NOT LIE, etc….but people still blame Him…



Hopless, before, I did not know God….I was like you, even thought I called myself a “Christian”……but now I know who God is, I know the Truth….I WANT to promise you that God is True…but the bible says that we shouldn’t make promises…..or swear…..so I will tell you that I believe….and I know that when I die I will be with God, unless I commit a sin that is unforgivable…



Hopless, it’s your life, don’t let other throw it away, and don’t throw it away….you need to see for yourself and read the bible to see if it is TRUE……don’t take my word for it, take God’s….
