why must life have depressing moments? why can't every day be a smiley day, a bed of roses? no doubt, i do agree that the setbacks in life are to mould us humans and to prepare us for greater challenges ahead. however, why can't humans only have the bright sides of life? why must we have to be put through misery, pain, disappointment, guilt and other darker sides of life? if only every human could be perfect, perfect in character and personality, then this world would be a much nicer place to live in. even if people were to be imperfect in their appearances, it wouldn't matter as long as people had a perfect personality which could accept the imperfections in the appearances of others. unfortunately, this day will never come...i do not know what is happening lately. nothing is going smoothly for me...my grades are declining, i'm turning into a wreck- one without integrity. i don't study for my tests, i put my homework off until later, i just got scolded from ms. s. today for talking too much during her lesson, i feel really guilty for failing her subject, i think i'm giving almost every teacher a terrible student kind of impression. pertaining to my "friends", i feel like i'm being treated like a dog or maybe a ball- they "play with me" by showing concern or humour me when they are happy or are in a good mood and forsake me whenever they are not in the best of moods. worse still, i have to bear with their long and black faces and tolerate their rantings and irritated replies. what do you all take me for? some kind of a toy? i have feelings too you know? can't you all see that i have been tolerating all this nonsense for far too long until i'm finally exploding right now? unless you all come to realise this fact, i don't think there is any more meaning to our friendship. btw, those "friends" i'm referring to are not from my class.
