life help: I’m so **** disgusted with all of the kids coming on here and telling us their experiences about their exploration into adult life. - Help.com

I agree

Well, I agree to some point. But, no one can handle what life throws, the same way some people do. I mean some people do really have a weak character and, they need help, right.

Yeah? I kinda disagree if someone needs help or advice and I have a good advice then I will help them.

Well

Some of the stories that I read here is though no one thinks for them selves. I never had to go to no one for advise. I used my own common sense.

Well thank lord for your wisdom, but I still think there are other people that don’t actually use common sense.

Dunno, people tend to be …. unreasonable.

why come here if you resent helping people?

Maybe I should rephrase my agreement I dont like it when people do things that they know they shouldnt do and then when the bad thing happens they want to be all upset and all you can think is why would you even have doone that? I dont mind helping them just dont understand why they would do the things that got theem into these situations in the first place.

here is a quote I find pretty interesting “Make something idiot-proof, and they will build a better idiot” (Murphy’s law)

I’m not referring to anyone as idiot or anything, it’s just the way of nature balancing things. We have smart people, people who can take everything that life throws at them and on the other hand we have people that don’t quite take things as well as others.

It’s because so many today are raised by T.V

Yeah, but not everyone is moral or wise - some people need guidance - some people lack these things - we all learn from our mistakes

I do blame the media at some point but in the end all you really have to do is think for yourself you cant blame the world for what you do

That part of being human.

:( This is not a place for debate people….The point is to HELP others, and not to debate! Grr

No I dont think we should make decisions based on our instincts. Reason, that’s what must me used

Thats not true the site says you can post a rant

stop being so pretentious, we all have flaws.

First I would like to say that your generalization “Kids” rather offends me. I find I’m close to one of the youngest people on this site, and yet I still have common sense.

Also, you grew up in a stricter society. Our society now has suicide and darkness as sort of a badge. I’m not saying we’re growing up in a harder place then you, I’m saying we’re growing up in too lax of a one.

And often I find most of the people here simply have no one else to turn to. Half the time it’s not their fault that they’re like this. And the numbers for clinical depression have gone up because we know that it exists now. And thusly more people can claim to have it, you see.

And the media? Tell me that the media didn’t influence you as a teen. Especially since the media can be anything: from our idols to our parents.

Telling people that you don’t want to help because you don’t like listening to their rants is rude, and, frankly, immature.

lol I was a little harsh in that last reply whoops.

I agree you can’t blame the world for what you do - one must take responsibility for themselves, but everyone needs guidance from time to time - even the most moral and wisest of us can make mistakes, react badly, or be victims of circumstance

Nante, thanks for replying:)….In my view, I feel that because this site is such a way that its oriented to helping other people that a Rant should not be to the point when its to insult others, ma’m *bows*…..Well, this is not the way I want to spend my time….Take care everyone!

Victims of circumstance - I like that :D

Lol, nante, look, katrina thinks you’re a girl too. ITS NOT JUST ME

hang on I’ll rephrase it in a sec

That is true, Nante - and usually when we need help and support the most!

Ok. first, I must say, that the idea of “kids” is degrading. I am one of the youngest here, and yet I still have common sense and what not.

What I am proposing is nature versus nurture. You might have grown up in a totally different society then we have and thusly we are effected in different manners.

You cannot imply that it would be better for one person to suffer quietly, thinking that they are alone, then for a community to unite over the same issues and thusly help those through their rough times.

And Lol, I like Nante. what’s wrong with Nante?

Ntalon4 - yeah learning to act like an adult is called growing up

Actually, I am both. I NEVER act my age. I act like I’m seven and I act like I’m 30. Don’t tell me that I have to act one way or the other. I take responsibilities as they come, but that doesn’t stop me from pulling my hair up in pigtails or not doing my homework.

And not all adults, I must say, are created equal.

Also, there’s maturity of THE MIND versus the body. And maturing the mind takes some amount more effort.

people need help and guidance when growing up. I am 30, but still seek guidance from people. Yeah, Indigo - I sometimes act like a kid too - its fun!! But acting like a kid and behaving badly are two different things

Lol, I LIKE ferrets, anon. my spirit animal’s supposed to be an orange ferret. What’s wrong with ferrets?

how do you know what your spirit animal is?

Someone told me. Lol.

*wages war against anon*.

seeya

PS: Im not a girl!!

The thing is, not everyone was built the same way. Some people need a bigger push in the right direction for them. Not all young people have guidance from older people, and many more don’t know where to look. Yeah, I see how you’d find it annoying that kids come on here complaining or bragging about what they’ve done or been through, but it’s not up to you berate them. It’s up to you to gently talk sense into them. Relate with your own experiences. Give them that push in the right direction. BE THAT GUIDING OLD PERSON.

That’s why I’m assuming most of these ‘kids’ are here. Not all of them can roll with the punches the way I’m assuming you can, so be a little more supportive to them. :)

I know it can get frustrating the way some people can be so self-destructive or ignorant, and continue ridiculous behavior, but no two people are alike, and NO ONE is perfect.

In fact, that’s what I love about our world. It’s not perfect; in a perfect world, there would be no heroes.

We all screw up, there is no need to blame.
