what is this world coming too


you are feeling all cool about yourself.
then you find out those assholes from high school and elementary school, the biggest jerks in the world have better lives than you..

is there no justice. :-\

One of the bullies I went to high school with is in jail now. ;) Another one can't keep a job because of an attitude problem. I guess she found out she couldn't 'boss' her boss around. ;)

but what about the people who do well.

Ahahaha, sucks for her.

but what about the people who do well.


None of them were jerks..except for one guy...and he even washed out in what he really wanted to do. We've made peace since then though...

Karma is a wonderful thing. Are you sure their lives are so great? Maybe their good at acting like everything is wonderful, and really their lives suck.

What comes around goes around.

I have told my kids that the people in school are not a reflection of what the real world is, and usually the Meanies end up as losers.

they have better jobs and opportunties and they are traveling and even relocating because of jobs that offer them too much money plus they are having tons of fun.

and i'm here posting on the lost board trying not to get fatter haha

You say that like it's a bad thing, lol.

I know that one of the girls I hated in High School is now Mum to seven... with Seven different Fathers. Another on the way. Unemployed. Lives on government Handouts. Despite the fact that I feel for the children, is it wrong of me to happy when I think of how horrible she made my life when we were teenagers???

Kitten.

OK but to what depth, maybe their great jobs take up all of their time so they don't have a love life, or at least real love.* Their spouses are probably shallow goldiggers only with them because of their jobs and money and travel...they have to relocate for the job and in turn their kids resent them and hate them and turn into jerks to them.* What appears to be so on the outside is rarely a representation of the inside.* Plus they were probably jerks in school because they already had crappy lives. ;)* Plus too much money is fine way to overspend and find yourself bankrupt in no time at all.

**edited for language...sorry halfrek...got caught up in the tone of the topic :blush:

This thread makes me wonder what certain people from high school are up to . . ..

um, just a reminder to you all to please watch your language.
i will be editing the title of this thread.

actually some are blissfully in love with their high school sweet hearts. I'm not talking about lame football cheerleader tv stuff. these are people who went on to be lawyers doctors accountants. respectable jobs for respectable companies. they are being recognized in their field.

One of my best days, the guy who was a jerk to me in elementary school pumped my gas and had to call me ma'am, laughed my butt off! Happy on the surface is not happy inside, some people put on a good act. If you are happy with what you have and where you are, you cares what everyone else is doing?? Two of my ex-classmates who were good people are dead (through no fault of their own)....things could be worse. Bloom where you're planted people!!

you are very right

These* things you mentioned are not given but earned.
I do not mean to be mean here but maybe you are spending to much time on what others have and not enough time appreciating what you do have or trying to achive your own goals.* Not all things we messure as success make for a good life or a happy one. It reminds me of one of my favorite sayings:
Life is not waiting for the storm to pass,
it is learning how to dance in the rain

if you knew me you would take back this comment. i am extremely hard working.. and i didn't even know what these people were accomplishing till a few weeks ago. thats when i realized that the world sucks.. that as much as you work hard as well as you can do it doesn't mean poop. Its all connections and luck today. I'll always be unrecognized and people will always think this is because of the same reasons you commented. You shouldn't judge until you have found out WHY i'm upset. I'm not upset because they have these careers, its that these people don't DESERVE IT i know others who are smart who work just as hard and they don't have the same jobs because they don't have the connections. Good people finish last.

this post is me losing my faith in humanity.

Ya, life sucks and it's not fair. Never has been and never will be and if someone told you it should be they lied.

I was married at 18 to a 22 year old Airforce (special tactics) I loved him dearly. We was stationed in TX. Shortly after we were married He became verbally and physically abusive. After 5 years of marrage and 2 sons I finally snapped. He was beating the crap out of me ( Kids were not around)
And I loaded the shotgun and told him if he did not leave I would blow him apart bit by bit. starting with the most impotent bit. I was rather a crack shot. Needless to say I moved back to my home state and started over. I had two sons and no job. After I practically Begged for a job, I worked my way up from* the gofer to became a designing coordinator for a company that arranged political functions, fundraises and the like. I even did the Governor of Delawares wedding.
I meat my second husband and we married.
See the avatar to the left I was 39 and still looked much like that ( Why I picked it) people used to ask my husband (4 yr older) if I was his daughter ( He loved it)* :D
We were married 3 years (I was 40)* I was diagnosed with recurring and remitting MS.
No more horseback riding, archery, hiking or teaching dance. I was a very physical active person, ALL gone. I am not sure what's worse the constant pain every day and night or the meds and their side affects. Through all this I still have the most wonderful life. We still travel when we can ( It takes more time and gets tougher each time but we go)
I have two great sons and a husband that loves me dearly. I am grateful for every little pleasure that comes along.
So YA life sucks and is not fair you just have to get up, get over it and move on.

Edit: I forgot to mention I grew up in a very toxic family environment and I was one of those nerdy kids that got picked on all the time.

I'm in remission from cancer. I've reached the place where none of that matters to me anymore. One of those jerky school bullies could become President or whatever...it doesn't affect me anymore. My life with all its problems is good. I've been given a second chance and I don't want to waste in on grudges and bad feelings.

this has turned into a CONTEST of who has the worse life.

Your absolutely georgeous, me! I grew up watching my Father beat my Mother, so I have some idea what you've gone through. I'm glad your life has turned out good after having lived through that.
Hope it continues to be a happy one! :clover:

We didn't meant it to. We are just explaining how we got past caring about what our former high school classmates have or have not done.

I think what elf and I were trying to say is it's not all the things that go wrong in life, It's not all the people you think got a better brake, it's your out look that either lifts you up or keeps you missable.

Not so much now but still not bad.
Thank :blushing:
and life is good!

I can't do a thing about how my old high school enemies' lives turned out. There are different ways to measure success. I dont have the best job in the world, but I've made peace with my Creator, and have a Wonderful wife & daughter who love me. That's better than all the riches & fame in the world.

this post is not about caring its about injustice.. i know everyone says .. well thats life.. BUT WHY

Life is not waiting for the storm to pass,
it is learning how to dance in the rain

Thats a great quote! Amen to that!

i think people making weird quotes about why we should just deal with injustices in the world is one of the reasons we have injustices.

small injustices such as people cheating or stealing to get ahead in life are what create LARGER injustices.

these problems start in "childhood" meaning they are minor then larger problems.

i thank god everyday for my life but i also believe that we shouldn't just accept the problems presented to us we should strive to change the world

amen sista

Oprah had Tracy Gold on today, about her drunk driving accident, and they both think it was a life lesson she needed to learn. I can see the logic behing this statement, but the blanket term that "there are no accidents", is way too hard for me to swallow. After the show, I thought about what lessons my life is trying to teach me, and decided that sometimes sh*t just happens.

i also believe that we shouldn't just accept the problems presented to us we should strive to change the world


Thats just it you can't change the whole world because waltisfuture right S*it does happen. I could not change my abusive husband no matter how much I loved him. All I could do is change how I responded to the situation. There by changing how my two sons were raised.
You can not stop all people from lying and cheating but you can have the fortitude not to do it yourself, giving the world one less lier or a cheat. One of the people I have admired the most was a small soft spoken woman who had nothing, wished for nothing but gave everything. She died and when she did the country she died in, it's population ( 90% or more) were not even of her faith. They laid her in state and payed her homage, this small soft spoken woman that had nothing of her own. Her greatest legacy was example.

Oh, and by the way sorry you don't like my weird quotes. I find them inspirational. Maybe if you looked at them in a different light you might too.
So here is another one for you:

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
-- Reinhold Niebuhr

life is not perfect, but we are in control of who we become. With Gods help and his guidance we can make it in this world alone. No matter who you are and where you come from. No one should never think less of themselves. Dont think about what you can not do, think about what you can do. High School is over, long gone. I graduated from High School a few years ago and i was bullied as well. I graduated when i was 20 and i got teased because of that. But, who the heck cares. I graduated from High School. Im proud of myself. Dont ever let anyone from High School ruin your future. :-\

I accepted my life, even though i had a rough life, I got through it. Be strong and dont ever give up on yourself. Life is good... let go of the past. thats gone. Hold onto and cherish the good memories.

Be happy and accept your life as it is. Change is good, not bad. :)

Was just thinking about this same quote when i was reading this thread: ME :)

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
