What Makes Me Sad…
Life, in general
Myself
I lost all my money, this made me sad
When my friend went away to college last year and we lost our close bond
The thought of losing my friends
Not being believed in
A friend who died
Constantly try to make my dad happy but its never good enough—he’s never
proud of grades or any of the things I’m proud of—it makes me feel inadequate…
and sad
Thinking about my dad
The fact that my dad won’t be at my graduation
Whenever I fight with my mom and say mean things
Losing closeness with a family member, drifting apart with no way to fix
things—not my decision but their’s
Obesity and people who do nothing about it—my uncle recently died because of
this but he had a mental problem and didn’t know—he lived with my aunt and
the food she gave him made things worse and they never exercised
I took the time to get to know her—I love her—even her problems—but she has
no idea and keeps falling into shallow relationships
The thought of failure
Being and feeling like a worthless failure to my mom
When I was blamed for being molested
Friends stabbing me in the back
Drama that I have with my friends the week before prom—everyone hates each
other for reasons such as not matching and best friends seem to get into
arguments over a boy and lies—I feel trapped in the middle and sorry for my
friends
Reaching the end of a book and discovering that the story did not end the way
I wished it to
Go through so many things together in life and then to abandon your best
friend over something stupid—however, in the end, the girl is left with no one
Learning that my “friends” backstabbed me
I use to escape, but now the opportunity of a lifetime is coming around and
I have to become a totally different person.
