I thought here I would make a list of tips for those people who are depressed, on the verge of suicide, or just plain unhappy. If u think you have a wonderful tip, please feel free to email it to me.
The most important thing to live a happy life is you MUST be proud of who u are. If you are not proud of who you are you go on and off of self depression/doubt/concious stages. These three things are the biggest things that bring you down. Dont know how to be proud of yourself??? Here's some hints.
Outside you-start with your appearence. If you are not proud of how you look think of everything like this.
Have a big butt? Fact is most guys like big butts. Small butt? Hey you can fit into smaller sizes. 'nough said.
Flabby arms??? Most people have flabby arms, all it is is untoned muscle. So do 10 pushups(gradually get to larger numbers) a day and in no time they will be toned.
Ugly face?? Im sure it is not ugly. There is no such thing as an ugly face. I believe that every single feature is made how it is supposed to be. Whether you think you nose is too big(its not) or your lips are too small(theyre not) or whatever. They are made in porportion to everything else on your face. So chances are if you have a big nose, your lips are probably big too(which is a good thing).
So when ever you get down and depressed remember this hold on to your imperfections, they are wat makes you special. So apply the above thinking to any self doubt you have.
Inside you- this can sometimes be harder to conquer than the outside. Emotions are so influencial, that they can be uncontrolable sometimes. So when you begin thinking crazy, think of all the things that you love about yourself. Self love is brain food. This is what I do. When I begin to eww look at that ugly face in the mirror, then i say to myself wait, I have a lot of wonderfull qualities. Hey Im smart, funny, crazy(in a good way), creative, and just plain fun. You should even do this when your not depressed. Your mind loves to recieve things like this, and it can make you feel wonderful. I do this about everyday LOL. I love to think about all the wonderful things about me, and you will too. And if you love this much just think about how much more your friends would love it if you told them all the things you love about them. Another thing you can do is this. It is a game--a very fun game. Gather all your close friends-not more than five. Create a list of features best arms, best legs, best belly button, best laugh, best personality etc. The more the better. Then you go down the list one at a time. You look at everybodys whatever. Like say its tongue, everyone sticks out there tongue, then you write down who you think has the best tongue. Then go around the circle, and have everyone tell who they think has the best tongue. And no you cannot vote for yourself. Remember not to put anything negative on this--it is there to make you feel good about yourself. Then at the end find all the stuff that you got voted as the best for, and when you get depressed say hey I have a great tongue, why am i complaining about my buck tooth for when i have a great tongue?
Be yourself- how more simpler could that be?? Do not give in to anything or anyone for any reason. If you like to be messy be messy. If you like to dance dance by yourself if u have to. If you like to be smart dont change because the populars called you nerdy, they are just jealous that it comes naturally for you.
Have a hobby- hobbys occupy your time, which prevents bad thoughts to enter your mind. Volunteer at a shelter, decorate your room, crosstich, create a webpage, play a sport whatever you like to do-do it no matter how stupid or whatever anybody thinks.
Dont ever lose track of your goals- you are nothing without ever wanting something. Whether its a boombox, or your first choice college. If anybody i mean ANYBODY tries to prevent you from achieving your goals are they really your friends? Do they really care about you???
Dont give into peer pressure- This is especially true with populars. For some reason everyone strives to be popular. They want everyone to like them. Some people will do anything to achieve this. Trust me if you have to do something you dont want to do to be accepted is it really worth it????? If you have to do drugs to be accepted, do you think once you get in that your not gonna have to do it again? Most of the time once you get in, they still dont like you. But hey not all situations are completly the same. If your friends make you do something you do not want to do, they are NOT your friends(unless the thing is good for you like going into rehab) Friends are supposed to make you feel better.
Strive to do your best- anything less is just plain stupid.
Join an after school activity- Here you can meet people who have similar interests and make friends. It gives you something to look forward to, have fun, plus colleges are more likely to pick ya.
Do not change for anybody- not even your parents(although they will tell you different) If they cant accept you for who you are, then I dont know what to tell you. If you like your room messy, keep it that way(you may get in trouble but hey at least you are being you) This does not mean that if they say stay home tonight that u sneak out the window.
Respect your parents/family-ur never going to be allowed to do anything fun if you dont. In the long run theyre the only ones that'll stick it out for you. Dont lie to your parents, they usually find a way to find out neways, then ur in twice as much troule. If you think they wont understand....well how could you expect them to if you dont share?? Plus if you dont lie and they find out youve been doing good things they'll be proud of you, and trust you more giving u more "legal" freedoms. You can get your curfew extended or watever, and then your both happy. Sometimes you gotta make a sacrifice for the good of the family. Say they dont want you to go to a party...theyve prob got a good reason for you not to, why not instead of sneaking out suggst that you be allowed to have a party since they wont let you have one. Or if you just let ths party slide...maybe next year theyd let you go to a party without having you call every hour.
