Thats pathetic.
Its just for gulit. Everyone has to moan about things.
"I'm not gonna moan cause people are dying in AFRICA!" Sure I feel sorry for those people. Its just the way people manipulate people's emotions to be like "OMGZ MY LIFE IS 1337" and therefore, everyone will become hippies. Hippies are awesome, though.

What was I saying?

Erm....

Ok, basicly what Karl said.

People aren't ungrateful for disliking a certain time in their lives. What, so since we don't live in Africa - if our parents slipt up we have to keep smiling because kids in Africa don't all HAVE parents? We aren't allowed to be upset at all?

That's stupid. People are allowed to feel however the hell they want. It isn't fair to label them ungrateful or anything else like that. Some people can't HELP how they feel!

I must agree, if someone's parent's hit them are they surpost to LIKE there life just because they don't live in Africa?

I hate this crap. Fair enough they have a hard life, but we might have a hard life in a different way they do.
It angers me when people are like "COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS :D Theres children in Africa with no food!" Well okaii, good for them.
If you feel bad you should be allowed feel bad without people making you feel guilty about your own emotions.

Whats amazing is thats true. Even though it looks as though some people have a much worse life, the emotion and pain that is gone through in both lives is about the same.

Its a different perspective.

exactly. and to be perfectly honest those people some of those situations have never experienced any different so they probably don't even feel as 'bad' as most people make out. Someone who say, has depression probably feels just as bad as someone in Africa who is missing out on all the things we have and reading things that say "You shouldn't feel this way because someone has it worse" would just make them feel worse. I think there's a lack of understanding towards peoples emotions.
