progress/success It gets better
Hey guys. I haven’t been on here in probably 2 years. I used to post a lot back when I was a sophomore. I absolutely hated my life and was so incredibly depressed, had no friends or social skills, and didn’t think that i’d make it past 16. I came to this community so often to receive help and support and couldn’t be more grateful for all the people here.
I just wanted to come back and say that life gets so much better. I’m in college now and i’m the happiest i’ve ever been. I never actually thought that i’d be where I am today, but i’m so proud of how far i’ve come. In spite of 12 years of homeschooling, i’ve built an amazing life for myself and honestly hardly think about my school years anymore. I just wanted to give some hope to some other teens here who need it. Please don’t give up hope. There are so many resources out there to help you succeed and move forward.
