    Well I feel horrible about posting this because if any of you saw my life then you would think it was perfect.

    -My parents are together and never fight
    -They both work at the church so I was brought up "right"
    -I don't have any brothers or sisters to complain about
    - I have my own room and 4 pets
    -People are always like "Oh! I know you..you are ______'s child. Good kid."
    -I have three people who sometimes pay attention to me so I'm considered "not lonely"
    -I don't wear black or draw death so clearly I'm not troubled in any way


    Its all so monotonous I just.....ugh, and right about now I get the usual

    "Oh! Your life is fine, suck it up!"
    or "You should be thankful for all that you have"
    and lets not forget the whole "Some kid has it way worse than you!" speech.

    tecnically it is...

    so what is the actual problem?

    that you want another life?

    EDIT:since youre not answering , ill expand on this myself.

    monotony is bad, and after a certain point we just want to escape it

    you feel like everything is there, and yet something is missing.

    you want to escape and do things, like in the movies.

    and feel happy as oppossed to monotony.


    but the thruth is...your life is what most other people consider "perfect".

    even though you yearn for something more.

    some people might say your life is perfect, but its not

    how can something monotonous be happiness?

    It sounds to me like you are bored and well, not feeling challenged in your life. Despite the fact you have many things to be grateful for, you seem to be missing some things that would make it mean more to you.

    What I'd suggest is trying to perhaps join some group or a sport or something challenging to you. Put your brains and body to the test basically and try exploring around your area, broadening your knowledge and such. Maybe meet some new people and branch out.

    What kinds of things interest you? Just make sure whatever you do that you don't do anything harmful to yourself but try to spice your life up some. Life isn't perfect, even with ideal scenarios like your own. You are a good person to see that you have these and don't take what you have for granted. It doesn't mean though that some things in life you don't have to work for on your own or branch out and well, invigorate yourself from time to time. I hope you feel better and this helps you at all.

    Life's only as interesting as you make it. That's all there is to say.
    And basically L has already said it.

    You really shouldn't feel bad about having a decent life.

    Your life isn't bad. I think what you're trying to say is that you're tired of your life. But keep it that way. If you change, you can change what you care about most. You can alter your future as well. But remember, you aren't the only one tired of your life. A lot of people wish they were different as well.

    If you are bored, do something stupid *note: This DOES NOT mean to have sex*

    I understand that you are feeling this way. I think maybe you should find something positive to do in order to add a refreshing change to your life. Sometimes a change of pace helps dampen these kinds of feelings.
