Just dont give up keep trying your best, and be yourself!

I'm a freshman myself and life is just going in a downward spiral i can't take it everyone making fun of me calling things like short fat ugly i have no freinds and i have never dated. infact a girl came up to me and said "hey you f*****g migdet i bet your never going to have any freinds and there is no way your ever going to get a date you stupid fat ugly f*****g bastard." and guess what people say stuff like that all the time and at lunch nobody sits next to me even if theres noplace else they would rather eat on the floor then sit next to me and it has happened.

Improve your personality, or lose weight.

Hate to say it, but high school is nothing but a beauty contest. Imperfections such as being over weight become an easy target for the popular kids, as they'd rather belittle someone else in order to take the attention off of how dull they truly are.

Even some of the worst looking people have friends, as long as their personality is great.

Try becoming the class smart ass.

Everyone loves a kid who will risk academic trouble for the sake of being socially accepted.

My life stinks. Not because lack of friends or anything, but because of myself.

I can't quite pinpoint what it is but I'm not satisfied with myself.


I feel the same way everytime I light a cigarette. Or when I cork open a bottle. I guess it's called guilt.


My parents love me, though I sometimes doubt it, they give me money and they expect me to use it wisely. Almost every friday night I lie to them, telling that I'm going to see a movie at my friends place or going to some fictional disco. They believe it and mom hugs me at the door and says, "Henna, please be careful. We love you and you know that we'll die if something bad happens to you."

I reply with grunts and leave as soon as possible.

Everything goes fine, till Iget the "refreshments".
That's when it starts. I feel so bad...

Yeah, this is just a bunch of emotional crap, but that's how I feel.
That's how my life is.

But don't get me wrong- there are sunny days in my life too, I'm not just able to notice them till they've gone.

You know that saying where you should love yourself and accept yourself first before loving someone else etc., I believe that is not necessarily true. In fact, I was reading a similar discussion elsewhere. I personally think that it is understandable how we don't always accept ourselves or 'love ourselves', we're still young and have a long way to go... ALL of us!

If you do love yourself, and happy with where you are, great, and I commend you for it. If you're not, then surely we haven't yet shaped into the individual we want to be or settle to be, therefore we are yet to be satisfied with ourselves.

The fact that you exist means you are significant, every single one of yous have a potential. It's also up to you to figure out where you want to be and do yourself justice for it. No one should expect you to be anyone other than yourself, and if it takes time to find out where you want to be, then so be it. So give yourself a break.

Well my life has just gotten better lately. I just got a job, got in a band, and passed my drivers licence test.
I in state of happiness now. Except that it hurts to type because of my blisters from playing bass for three hours.

Nothing wrong with being short It just means you'll live longer, and look younger - while being older and wiser

107? By your location I'm sure you are using the Imperial Measurements, over yonder in America. I don't know my exact weight, because we don't have scales in our house. Which can put me in an awkward situation, especially when people need to know my weight when trying to get me the correct ski boots.

Meh, I don't care.

[RavenMM]

Well i would say i h8 my life i hav som friends but im mostly bored with my life and feel empty im failing college and got no money l

[Oddfan]

all of my family starts out short but every single person also becomes taller then most people starting about senior year in high school so i will be taller.oh and i have a fine personality i'm nice to every one i meet it's just my reputation is not popular so once they find out i'm not popular they ditch me for "the popular group"i admit i'm also ugly and freckles don't help.so every one that meets me in person usually says f**k off kid after a couple days.

Hey, c'mon, don't take it so seriously. I mean I'm short as hell-- I'm only 147cm, I weight--erm-- too much, and I get to hear about my size all the time, but I never let it get to me.
Don't mind what the others say, let them say.
That's my advice.

[dripik]

Yes, Oddfan, just because someone is short it doesn't mean he has no hope. I'm short too, and if someone is getting on my nerves, I play deaf. Then they go away or leave me alone. I'm a pro in that! Because I'm not soo popular in my class, but WHO CARES? I come here to the Forums, and I feel much better.

[Hobo]

Life sucks for me.

Just everything in general. Exams, parents, you kn ow teenager stuff like that *disappears into shadow again*

All the short people I know compensate by having bigger attitudes. Ya just gotta love em' though! Short people rock!

Thanks, oddguy!

Well, all I know that I'm short in my class (not the shortest), but I don't know. Maybe it's because of my class. They are too tall. But when I was in an English camp last year, I saw a Croatian guy who was somewhere at 2 meters! And when I asked him how old he is, he said he is only 14, just like me! Now that was interesting. I felt short there.


And for the question of the thread, I think I'm nothing special. I help my parents if I can, do homework, go to school, just as everybody else. I usually stay home when I can, sometimes I go to the cinema. But coming to Oddworld Forums: now that's what not everybody does on the world. I'm a part of a group, I have friends here. I like it here.

Nothing wrong with being short It just means you'll live longer...

You do realise that scientists now believe the opposite to be true, don't you?

Bah, I forget exactly what I put last time I came in here. Don't get me wrong, I went back and read. I just wish I knew what the hell I was talking about. Okay then, a kind of update. Life is great, although right now my greatest pleasures comes from anticipation and dreams. Tomorrow - ah, that's when I'll find out whether my eagerness will be justified. Back to school. It'll be a big thing for me to prove, to myself and to others. I can't wait; although I dread the time I have to hand my geography coursework in, I'm looking forward to sooo much. I'm sure that all kind of makes sense. I could very well have to storm in here tomorrow pissed off at the world and take everything back, but we'll see.

I'm sure that makes a little bit of sense.

Oh, and regarding weight... I weigh a lot, but you couldn't possibly tell by looking at me. I need to put on weigh, or rather I need to put on girth, because I eat and eat and eat, but it never seems to go anywhere. I swear the net of what comes out is substantially less than the net of what goes in. Damned metabolism. I was able to locate my six pack this morning for the first time in months, though.

[Hobo]

Other than being repulsivly ugly, height isn't the physical problem for me(6 foot), weight is though, i way as much as my father, and i look like i way ten times as much as him if you compare us. But i don't eat much at all anymore, I used to eat all the time, but I just don't eat at all, I never have breakfast, the smallest lunch possible ,if any, and then the smallest dinner. With no snacks inbetween.

This isn't my only justification for why life sucks, there are other issuses for me but while you were on the subject of physical stuff i thought i'd add that.......

Anytime.

Anyway, I'm the tallest member of my family, but they're all short people. I'm about 5'9...the last time I checked anyway.

[Alcar]

Max, is that so? Are you sure? I was sure that it was proven that shorter people live longer, that is if they keep themselves in good shape. Obviously.

Plus, you should see my grandparents (fathers side). They are still alive and kicking, so much so that it's hard to believe. By the way, if you want to know how short they are, then I'm actually taller than them

Go shorties! Down with tallies!

Regarding weight, I need to loose weight. Really, I do. I'm looking in the range of what Joshy is

I thought short people lived longer as well. You know those short little chinese guys that drink green tea all the time? Those guys live like forever!

Here's something to look forward to: freckles fade as you get older. I have freckles over my cheekbones and the bridge of my nose, but they're hardly noticeable compared to how they were when I was, say, ten. Besides, freckles are nothing to worry about. I think they look kind of cute.

And I'm surprised there are so many unhappy people on here.

As for me, I'm on Cloud Nine.

[Wil]

Ah, yes, an update. The update goes like this: Meh. Nothing interesting happened today, so I'm not really swayed any way since my last post. Life is just... meh. It's like I never left from last year.

Regarding weight, Hobo is in the reverse situation of me. Regarding height, yes, that's what the latest research proves. Regarding freckles, I was looking today at my gangly bloodshot hand (while comparing it to the smooth, toned perfection of Jonny's hands) and noticed my freckles had faded, although they still make my skin look rather murky.

[Oddfan]

I'm 5 foot for the records.
by the way I'm happy now even though everyone at the forums hates me now because of my last thread (guitar_kid) but i have one good freind and that's all that matters.

[Ashe]

[CarboN]

My life is really good, but I hate myself.
