We all have people we care about. It may be our parents, our friends, our significant other, or all of above. And we also have people who care about us, whether you notice/like it or not. For some people, they may try to care by overwhelming you with their presence like many parents with their children — and you might not necessarily like it, but there are some people who would love to have that option. There are others keep a safe distance and watch over you from afar instead, maybe out of the idea that they would scare you away if they cared too much or that’s just the way they’re used to being cared for. There is no “right” way to care for someone, but sometimes you HAVE to let them know, especially if they’re feeling down. Showing your support openly may feel weird for some people, however, you never know who it may help and how much it could mean to them.

Being Depressed and Wanting to Be
Thursday, November 3rd, 2011
A pity party’s nothing without company, I will admit to that. But, there is a line to cross, and I think it’s time that more people start drawing it more often. Lately, I’ve found that my friends, whether it’s over a bad grade or two, dissatisfaction with their appearance, a relationship gone awry, or something else just as human, just won’t sort out their issues. Sure, in those cases I too would love to have a pity party for myself, and I often do. Though the difference between a pity party and a weeklong bash of self-loathing is a bigger gap than even a pint of ice cream can fill, and why anyone would go for the latter, willingly, I can’t figure out why. I’ve seen people have enough pick me ups thrown at them that they should be floating on cloud nine for all the attention they’ve received, and still, only a bad mood blossoms. What do you get from clinging to a bad mood? I know something that you won’t get for broadcasting it to the world, and that’s respect.

Vexation
Monday, October 24th, 2011
That is when someone is COMPLETELY outraged. It’s like being really mad that your house blown up, then your neighbors laugh at you. That is what it feels like to me, when the fire of my hate is lit up and ready to explode. When you rage, you are not yourself. You act in a way you would never act. Cussing your friends out, hating everyone, and having terrible thoughts about everyone around you. I would assume, most people would try and control their rage. I have been raged the entire first quarter of school, and I was really being a huge punk. I would be a jerk, and show off, and all that things just to get attention. I know why, and my friend helped me see my way through life. So what I’m trying to say, when you’re raged, try and control it, and don’t do things you wouldn’t do.

Help is Always Around

I’ve said in my earlier blog that sometimes, there are more people misjudging you than you think. However, there are also more people supporting you than you think. In fact, many of the people who misjudge and abuse you only do so because they misunderstand you. That does not justify their actions, but it points out that an honest conversation is necessary and occasionally a simple solution to your conflicts. Even if that is not the case, always remember when you are abused, there will always be someone in your school, in your local organizations, or at the 1-800-RUNAWAY hotline who would be more than willing to talk to you. All you need to do is just talk to them. Always be honest about what happens and you will be surprised how good people can be.
