I think I'm content with life. I have food in my fridge, wealth for (my) toil, and I'm still young. Why the hell should I be bitching? If I *****, then I'll feel worse because others don't have it as good as me and therefore feel sadder by bitching about my insignificant problems in the first case o.o
Exactly! Why can't people revel the world they live in, without taking drugs? I'm high on life most of the time! =D
All you need is a little perspective and you can be truly happy.

Not at the moment, its boring and nothings happening.
At least you're well fed, with education, and other such privileges that most of the world goes without. Perhaps you should appreciate the current stability and be happy with it, at least until something comes along?

A few of my list are
Run a marathon, walk or whatever, move 24 miles via foot in a single day.
go to a rave ive never heard of before covered in luminous paint.
Set fire to all my books.
Go to london with some friends every week.
Visit the beach at least once a week.
I'm actually a bit ahead of you. I went through the exact same thought process you're going through, just a few months ago after reading a pretty life-affirming book. I've done the exercise bit, the book burning bit, and the rave bit. Probably the beach bit, too. But where will you find the money to visit London every week? What will you even do there?

embrace life and everything around it ok *embaces life* great I was :I but now I'm D: life truly sucks with all the dicks where I live at least 10 people in my year are pregnent (all 14)
every day I lose more faith in humanity *sigh*
Oh for goodness sake,
grow up. You are a
British Teenager. You are among the wealthiest and luckiest people in the entire world. There is nothing you can't do. No options are closed to you because of were you live or your family or anything, really!
You may think you are being a 'realist' by being so pessimistic, but embracing life means embracing all the
good parts as well. I mean, you are in secondary school! How many
billions of people don't even get that far? Those ten in your year who are pregnant,
will they die during childbirth, will they be forced to abort or to keep the child by law? Not likely! What options do you have after your secondary education? You could do
anything you want, as long as you
get off your arse and stop feeling so entitled.
Sorry if that sounds harsh. The second paragraph isn't directed at you specifically. I get so pissed off when people complain about nothing at all, when those people who
are really suffering
do not even get a word in edgeways.
Just watch this video and learn from it, then read this book [http://www.amazon.co.uk/Age-Absurdity-Modern-Makes-Happy/dp/1847375243], and cheer the fuck up!
Love Life, and Be Grateful For What You Have! That doesn't mean 'don't strive for more', it's simply a dose of perspective.
