Where did it all go wrong/right for you?

Well the worst times of my life where when I was a kid but I'd rather not get into that. Lately things have been going pretty good even though I'm quite busy. I'm just happy to have a job and a home to live in.

When i pissed of someone who was helping me and they left me for dead.

Well,the 5 years before college were very grim.Asperger's Syndrome made school hell, and to be honest I still struggle to communicate with other people.Allied to this I was surrounded by some deeply unpleasant people,and spend most of my life feuding.Was never even remotely comfortable around the opposite sex either,which left me with really nasty sexist views.I also had an eating disorder,meaning I frequently looked and felt like death warmed up.Since school ended and I fled the provinces and the weirdos/pricks who I knew there, it's improved slowly to the point where I can honestly saw I've never had it better.

my story oddly enough has absolutely nothing to do with my career...

i've had a thing for this girl for a couple years now but nothing really happened between us until recently. she dated another friend of mine (which was actually how i met her) for about two years. sometime last year my friend started cheating on her, she found out and broke up with him, but they got back together and were off and on for a few months thereafter.

this semester everything exploded between the two of them, she got super drunk one night and went hysterical. ever since then she hasn't even been able to talk to him and won't go anywhere he is.

it got even stranger a week ago when i went to a party with said girl and she wanted to take me home with her (her sorority sisters intervened). i found out the next day she was blacked out the entire time and doesn't remember anything that happened between us. i haven't had a chance to talk to her alone since then and i have no idea whether she was acting on impulse at all.

to make matters worse i'm going to be living with her ex-boyfriend next year as well as everyone else that already knew both of us before they broke up.

i'm going to try to see her tomorrow night but i honestly have no idea whether she'll reciprocate or even want to see me at all.

There is some interesting stuff being shared here.

Vegangelica, I'm really sorry to hear you had to go through that. Being raped is my worst nightmare and it sickens me that a guy could think he has the right to force you into intercourse. I am so grateful to have a loving boyfriend who'd probably kill someone who even touched me wrong.

My story is different to others, in the sense that although my family was not well off, I was an only child so still go whatever I wanted (to a degree). I had education and opportunities handed to me on a plate. However, from the moment I turned 14 I turned to smoking, alcohol, by 15 weed, boys and had a bad attitude. However, looking back now my mom's dad had died and she was falling to pieces, my dad was never able to give me attention as he was working or studying to support the family. So I got my attention from guys and my friends instead. By 16 I was lying non-stop, I was going out to random parties and places saying to my folks I was somewhere else. Eventually my mom found out I was deceiving her, and basically told me one more lie, or issue and you're moving out. Her and dad said if you want to go work and do whatever just do it. They didn't expect me to go to University, who knows if they thought I'd finish high school.

But then that all turned around. One day I was sitting in food tech class and I swear I was touched by God. I don't want to discuss the details of this to whether you believe me or not, but ultimately I decided to change my ways. So I started making an effort at school, graduated, and got straight into University. I have earned a degree in Science and am just finishing a post graduate diploma. I have recently been accepted into a restricted post graduate course in Antarctic studies where we will actually go to Antarctica, and by this stage in life I basically have the work experience and people skills to get anything I want out of life.

To be honest, I never thought I'd end up here. I pushed myself too much to prove myself, it took me a long time and a lot of stress to realize I was doing it for others when I should have been doing it for me. None of this I regret, I mean who would regret a degree! But now I know that I have to put others needs aside so I can live life for me. I know that my story is not as intense or maybe as hard lined as others, but I have been through a lot. I was physically assaulted a year ago and for the last 3 years I had had a dependency on codeine which lead to me becoming depressed. I am on the other side of that now, and am happy, healthy and ready to take life by both hands.

I suppose the story goes that life is never going to be easy, but sometimes taking risks is the only way you can move forward. Suffering sometimes is the only way to get what you want in the long run. Everyone's different however, so some might see it in another perspective. The moral of my story is that I have discovered a huge inner strength. I will fight for my friends and family, and most of all my self-respect.

thats really similar to a situation im in, except i have much older siblings, so its like im an only child as im 18, my brother and sister are 27 & 26. so for a long time i was spoiled and got what i wanted, as they have their own life & that now. i can see where your coming from, as i got in with the wrong crowd etc when i was roughly 14/15, weed was also a huge part of life, but i never even tryed it till last year. i was too busy going out at weekends to even care about what my parents thought, i went out on wednesday nights & would turn up at my Academy still drunk. and now, im in a better crowd, although drugs are a massivemassive part of teenage life here, infact just a huge part of being young, i dont think i know one person who doesnt dabble in them. but most of my friends are into Ecstasy, whereas.. i dont take anything anymore, so you could say i kinda changed in a similar way to you, as i started caring what my parents though, and went into Higher education, now im out of education though, as i expected better results and didnt meet my university conditional, but i'll be back into it by Jan hopefully.

Wow, congratulations on getting to go to Antarctica! I'm sure that will be absolutely amazing. Did you study/are you studying biology? Glad to hear you got stuff figured out and turned everything around

it's good to see weed still playing apart in people's tragic pasts, i guess being a functioning human being while high is impossible.
