I Am Struggling To Keep Myself Together

Story Of My Life.

Written on September 4th, 2010
My story probably isn't as bad as everyone else's on here, because I am still a teenager and I haven't really experienced life yet. but I'll tell it anyways. There's many problems in my life, that are making it hard for me too keep all together. My brother has just gotten out of rehab, and apparently It didn't help. He has relasped right away. I watch his kids constantly, while he sits there and tells me he dosen't care about them. I don't live with my mother, she lives four ours away with my douche stepdad. She's my bestfriend so there's really no one to talk to. I'm constatnly hearing negitive things, to bring me down. I'm constantly yelled at. I have just started school agian, where people call me names nonstop. I'm tempted to just burst out in tears randomly from pressures and stress in my life. I put a fake smile on, and act like everythings okay. just to get through. I'm on the verge of just quitting at life and not caring. but I look at my brother and I don't want to end up like him. I'm trying so hard to keep it together. for my little brothers. for my nephews. for the people I care about. but sometimes I don't think I can do it anymore.

    I know this seems like a constant struggle right now and ur just a teen u are carrying to much on ur shoulders and the responbility u are taking on isn't for u as a teen to take on, I know u are doing it cause of love but maybe u need to step back a little and take a breather and some time for urself, u know, u only get one chance to be teenager and then adult hood comes, everyone has problems so ur not alone, just keep ur head held high and things will be ok, u are a strong and bigger person, one day u'll walk away from this and everyone will see who held everyone up when things were down, but u need to enjoy ur young teenage life and not carry all these responisbilites on ya, my soon to be husban of this comming month who I am engaged to, he had the some similar responsilibties growing up, he had to go from a young teen at the age of 12 to an adult grown man and raise himself, he losted both parents at 12yrs old to death, so he has came out so much stronger and I know that u do not have a choice but feel like u have to take care of everything, but u need to take time out for urself and enjoy ur young teen life, before long u'll be an adult with one day a family of ur own!

    check out the Prayer to the "infant of prague" you say this prayer for nine days in a row and you ask for a specific thing every day for the nine days. You will feel the power of your creator. You can do it as many times as you want. Look up the testimony's of it. Ask God to give you a true peace of mind. You will be amazed. It is just the beginning. Man lies but God never lies. After doing them for a while you will see that God will be guiding your life in the most spectacular way. It is like ridding a bike. Later you can do one to "St.Theresa the little flower" She will send you roses from the true heaven as a sign she loves you.
