reader, anonymous, writes (17 December 2010): Im happy. Not all the time, but at night and early in the morning im extremely happy.
Why?Because Im finally with the man of my dreams since 06' - 07'.
Now its 10' and i regret what i had said soo long ago.But at the same time i dont. If i had said yes, i wouldnt of been able to experience what i had gone through in the past. So now i can say, I wont be doing that again.
When we talk on the phone, when theres nothing being said my heart still pounds for him, im still giggley and smiley happy. I even cry just because he makes me feel like EVERYTHING will be okay even when its not. He's funny, just freakin adorable, and seriously cute lol. I love my blonde. He's been there for me through so much, he's been friend for so long. Id be lost with him.
During the day, my baby sister keeps me happy. She's like a sour patch kid. I love it. Such a random lil thing.
xoxo Question is, Are YOU happy?

sorrely is verified as being by the original poster of the questionYeah, thanks, I'm 15, not to young to be wondering if people are happy. And I was wondering because in my psychology class, we're reading a book about happiness, and I was just curious. Thanks for answering!

 I wish people said their loving thoughts straight away, rather than try to remember to say them later, when the feeling is gone and forgotten.
'Love is blind, but friendship is clairvoyant.' Be happy girl!

reader, anonymous, writes (14 December 2010): @Af1510: She's not too young to wonder what happiness is! She's at least 13 and she probably has a mind deeper and more complex than we can imagine. We adults are not good at remembering the previous states of our minds because we are too overwhelmed by the present. It's OK to ask questions about this as long as she learns her own answers from experience.
I'm not happy because the love of my life left me and took everything she could from me. And I allowed her to get close enough to do it. But the little things in life still make me happy, even if just for a moment: cats, sunsets, music.
Why do you want to know?

Why? No income, no assets, no job.
Enjoy your schooling years as you can, because once you're out, life comes at you fast and isn't as nice as people tell you it is.

 Actually, I thought about this question. I can say that in most things about my life, I'm happy. There are a couple of things that I'm not happy about, but the happy things way outweigh what I'm not happy about.
I have a great family, good friends, and I've tried to live my life with the integrity of being myself. I've met many of the dreams I had when I was younger, and I fulfilled dreams I didn't know I had.
I am grateful to my brother and ecstatic that he gave me a new lease on life because he gave me a kidney. I was NOT happy about mine failing due to a genetic disease, but I stayed positive through it and stayed away from self-pity and despair.
My friends call me happy-go-lucky because I look at the bright side of things. They think that things fall into place for me when in reality, I've stayed away from many of the vices that delay the things that take time to accomplish. I am absolutely debt free because I don't want a lot of things. I don't consider myself good-looking, but I really don't feel like I'm a slave to fashion and appearance. My husband calls me beautiful, and with him, I feel like a supermodel. We've been married over 12 years, and we're still in love.
I'm not happy about the health of my parents. I worry about my mom in particular, but I know that this is an issue that eventually all people must face. I know that I will honor their legacy by living a good life and raising my son with love and care and patience.
I've always been a tomboy. I hate dresses and high heels. I think my ankles are happy about that. :D
I'm not yet happy about my career having been placed on temporary hiatus due to the kidney failure, but I look forward to the adventure of finding my next career move once I'm done with recovery.
I think happiness is a choice that takes work. I think it takes inner peace and a desire to forgive others, not hold a grudge, and be content with the looks and skills you're born with.
To be happy with someone you love, I think it takes a love that's not blind, and a deep friendship with that person.
I hope this helps!

I'm kind of both. Currently, I'm happy. Overall I'm not.I'll start with why I am. I'm a freshman in highschool and I'm more than satisfied with my social status, I have an amazing, beautiful, out of my league girlfriend. However, when I was younger my parents got divorced. My mom got involved in an abusive relationship. It wasn't that I was actually being abused, but listening to your mom get abused isn't exactly an improvement. In fact, the sense of helplessness nearly broke me, spiritually.At the time, I was living in the Bronx. It's not the ideal city, very rough and packed with gangmembers, drug addicts and everything in between. Needless to say, I didn't have the best time in the world growing up there.While I lived there, until 7th grade, I've had three friends actually die. One from drug overdose, one from gang related violence, and one suicide. Each death struck me harder than the lasr. You would think after enough funerals you get used to it. But you don't, at least I didn't.In 7th grade I moved in with my dad in a safer town, where I attend school now as a freshman in highschool. I'm relieved to be able to say my mother has ended her abusive relationship. However, now I love with my father, who's never home, and a step-mother and step-sister who hate me for whatever reason. My step-grandparents (you following me?) hate me for the same unspoken as their offspring.Honestly, I rely on my friends and parents (whenever they're around) and blood family (my real family and I are really close) for comfort. School is actually a break for me, despite my constant more trivial struggles. My current girlfriend helps me through this, as I feel somfortable enough around her to tell her these things.Thank you for listening to why I'm happy and otherwise. I hope it satisfied you. :D

At your age its a very natural thing to be happy. You need not worry abt family pressures, relationships, etc. Happiness doesnt come by searching for it. It comes searching for you. All you need to do is be ready to welcome it :)
