You know what really pisses me off?

When ignorant people say crap like

"Oh quit whining you don't have it as bad as others"

Like let me explain the situation a bit as to what I mean

I have been going through a harsh depression since my eight grade year in middle school (I'm a senior now in high school) and so I was talking to my friend in art class during my freshman year. I don't remember what we were talking about but I said something along the lines of "my life is so messed up."

Do you want to know what else happened?

This ignorant person came up to me and yelled at me to shut the hell up and quit whining because I don't have it as bad as others.

Me still being young and all kept quiet during her yelling at me.

You know what thoughts went through my mind?

I felt unimportant

I felt like trash

I felt like she was right and that my problems weren't nothing compared to others

I felt like I was no one in this world

And it really hurt me

I have been told that constantly all through my life since eighth grade.

First of all, she wasn't even in the conversation with me and my friend.

Second of all

She did not live my life

Please explain to me WHO OR WHAT IN THE FUCKING WORLD GAVE HER THE RIGHT TO SAY THAT?

Did she live what I live through?! Does she know my story?

No she didn't

Yes I smile and laugh and act like a normal teen

But let me tell you something

Sometimes the people who smile the most go through the worst things.

You can look at you're average teen, a cheerleader for example. She could look like the happiest most amazing  person in the world.

She has everything

Perfect hair, car, house, friends, is rich and wears top designer stuff and looks like the girl everyone wants to be.

But one thing you don't know about her is that she is suffering a horrible depression. Constantly getting yelled at to keep her grades up to a 100, to be perfect cheerleader, she never has any support from her parents at all and rarely sees them. Her boyfriend cheats on her, her brother is an alcoholic, she's a daddy's girl and she is later hit in the face by real life when she finds out that her king, her perfect daddy cheats on her mom and has a whole different family in another state.

Do not judge a persons life just by the way they look or act.

You do not need some traumatic experience to go into depression

You do not have to have suicidal thoughts to be in depression

There was a point in my life to where I was terrified to be alone with knifes in fear of what I would do.

I was a perfect straight a student until eight grade. Now I don't even know if I'll even graduate or get a scholarship.

Ok sure, I ''don't have it as hard as others"

But are you sure about that?

Like have you lived my life?

No?

Then do us all a favor and shut the fuck up. I'm not saying this looking for pity.

I am saying this to send a message to all those Ignorant people.

If you don't know someone's story

Do not tell them to quit whining

Because that could cause something bad.

Now that person is afraid of seeking help. Now that person keeps it to herself because she feels like it's not important and that she annoys everyone when she talks about it.

Actually that is exactly what I feel right now

Every time I write a chapter like this I hesitate for days to publish it

Why?

Because I feel like I annoy you guys and that this isn't important.

So I beg you

Before you go around telling people to quit whining and that they don't have it as bad as others actually start thinking for once and listen.

What gives you the right to say it to someone you don't even know?

Don't make biased judgments.

And just keep your mouth shut

Thank you!
