Under Pressure.

I feel under so much pressure. I'm really bad at coping with stress, and being a teenager is hard enough (thanks, Media) without all the extra crap from various other aspects of my life.
My brain is constantly occupied with trying to solve problems caused by all the pressure. School, family, friends, the media, society. It's all ammunition for the constant machine-gun fire aimed straight at me.

Do homework. Be successful. Look attractive. Sleep more. Revise lots. Get high. Try harder. Eat less. Help out. Remember books. Kiss guys. Join clubs. Write lots. Drink alcohol. Tidy room. Be popular.

And then, the icing on the cake: Don't stress.

Hm.

People actually say that.

Why, exactly, I have no idea. But what am I supposed to say? "Sorry but seeing as I'm feeling remotely suicidal at the moment your measly advice isn't quite enough so I would really appreciate it if you gave me some advice that isn't utter bull? Thanks."

Yeah. I think I'm kinda messed up at the moment.

Live Or Die, It's All The Same

Have you ever had a feeling like you just want to forget everything. All your feelings and the things you once did. That's how I feel now. And I don't mean to moan, but it's getting me down.

Hang in there. It doesn't get less stressful, it doesn't get easier - but trust me: it DOES get better.

Smile:) Nobody can change the things that happen in life, we can just go with them and thank the cavemen that took the time to evolve. Apart from the ones that evolved into the Popular race, which we just have to ignore.
