i dont get it, how is your life crappy? just because, excuse the insult here please, but your parents are losers. that doesnt make your life crappy man, that makes their lives bad. you have a choice on how you turn out. dont let that stuff effect how you feel. just do the best you can every day, and dont turn out like them. if you feel like you got it bad, then you should try a week in my family. i wont even go into details here, but, just to give you a little inside as to how screwed up my family is, my step dad, used to be married to my step mom. ok, that isnt even the tip of the iceberg. so, i in now way feel my life is "crappy". i make my own choices. i have worked my --- off to get a great job, i have a wonderful wife, i live in a nice area, i have nice belongings, and i did this all with having a ----ty family. dont site around having pity on yourself, and expect others to take pity on you too. you need to get up, stop crying about how bad you got it, and make some changes. if you do, i guarantee that things will turn out ok for you.
