I hate it when people say 'you're still so young, your life just started'
I have been depressed since the age of 11, my dad left the house and my sister was abusing me, my mother and sister were fighting a lot and she used to verbally and physically abuse me while my mother watched and did nothing about it. I got bullied through middle school and highschool. I tried to put myself out there, but it never worked. People threw gum in my hair, hid my stuff and even stole it. I cried myself to sleep almost every day.
Now i am 23, it has not gotter ANY better, i can't keep up a job, because i even get harrassed at work by people in charge. I left school due to all the bullying and my father is absent. My mother thinks she's the greatest mother on planet earth, because she allows me to live under her roof. I can't clean my room anymore and i have suicial thoughts sometimes.
This is why in my own personal experience i hate it when people say something like that. In my entire life i have missed out on so many things i can't experience anymore when i'm maybe, sixty years old. You really think age makes a difference in these things? It is possible, but do you really think i would want to go back to school when i'm 35? Or still on the lookout for a group of friends, because i was 'still so young 10 years ago and it could change any minute'. Ofcourse it can work out for some people and i love that for them. I don't want to wait 5 more years to have a relationship or at least 2 friends, i want it now, and go out and do things in the world, while i still can.
