It's all in your mind


Today I’m going to talk about a disease which is turning half of parents and teachers mad in this world.Now I’m at high school, but I can still remember those school days when I arrived home with awful marks.You just close the door and sit down.For the next 60 minutes, my bedroom turned into a mixture of screams, punishments, and tears.This kind of things use to happen when your parents love you.They want you to make the best of yourself, and they feel really angry when they see you are just wasting your time .This is the beginning of some more fights and arguments, during the next few weeks.Then, there are different kinds of solutions. There are some kids who escape from home, and they live as squatters for the rest of their lives, there are also some tough ones, who just stand there facing this endless pressure, and there are also some weak ones who take the easiest way: suicide.It is not because of the academic results, but because your life turns into hell until you do better.To do better, you need some support.And turning your life into hell is not support. For some older people, suicide or running away from home, looks like a really stupid idea.There doesn’t seem to be any point in quitting because you wont be able to go out with your friends, or just play soccer on Sunday evenings for the next few months.It looks like there are some more important things in life to fight for.Actually, this is kind of untrue.Some day, maybe there will be more important things.But for the moment the ones which are in the life of a kid, are these small things which nobody cares about.You can’t get rid of them because of some bad marks.I don’t know at all what I would do if I was a father, beacause I’ve never been in that situation.But as a kid, I must say the only thing you can do is to hold on.In my case, I used to run away to the park and sit down on the grass.I looked at the dark sky, at the stars, and I wondered if all this pressure was really worthwhile, if I would turn some day into a man to be proud of.Later I came home for dinner. Today I still wonder if all of this is worthwhile.But now I’m stronger.I got better.It’s true that the world is full of shit, but to change our minds and see it as a great place to live, is our task if we want to be happy some day.The world is not going to change.So, are you?.

pressure makes you grow up... when you survive it.

Yeah, it's quite risky indeed..but there is no point on quitting..life is too short.It's always better to fall down knowing you could have achieved, than to quit..

mmmm estaba despistada! creía que erais dos y uno hispanoparlante y el otro pues english speaker.

Pero ahora sí que no entiendo.
de todas formas ta bien... así practico.

Abandonar tiene sentido cuando lo haces para salvar lo que estás perdiendo. Es decir: te embarcas en algo, no sale bien, y abandonas porque crees que no merece la pena. En el caso de tu post... abandonar es que no te quede nada. Así que no tiene sentido.

definitely there's absolutely no point in quitting. No porque la vida sea demasiado corta sino porque nos guste o no, blanco o negro... es lo único que tenemos.

Con el comentario me refería a las razones que hacen que los de alrededor sometan a un personaenvíasdedesarrollo a tanta presión.

Jaja que va! solo soy uno el que escribe.Suelo escribir en español pero tb lo hago en ingles de cuando en cuando jeje xD.En definitiva siempre es mejor itentarlo.En el articulo yo me referia principalmente a que por muy mal que esté todo, cambia muchisimo si lo afrontas con buenos ojos y que si te empeñas en que eres feliz lo serás sin duda alguna.Y de paso también hice referencias a que aunque tus padres te quieran, es una falacia pensar que todo lo que hagan en nombre de su amor va a ser siempre la mejor opción.Pero sin embargo es cierto que la presión y los obstáculos en general te hacen mas fuerte y sobre todo te hacen madurar.La filosofía espartana no estaba equivocada del todo jeje.
