A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Im 16 and My life has been so hard over the past few years due to a condition which has taken me to the lowest of the low. I have had an operation this year and am slowing fighting the condition but i cnt help feel bitter about how all my other friends lives are so perfect.

I am surrounded by people who are superficial and moan about the slightest thing. About their appearence or a bad hair day. I no its what teenagers do but i find myself biting my lip because i feel like screaming out how ungrateful they are.

Its been frustrating me for a while now and if you have any advice or quotes to calm down my frustration it would be great. thankyou.

A reasonable quote might be "Thank your lucky stars you've not had a year like I've had" or something similar. But be careful not to appear to be a grouse, make the most of what you have and be thankful that you still see a sunrise and a sunset- just like I am! Keep smiling, that's the main thing!

hiyah, its really common for people to get so wrapped up in themselves and there own lives they are completely unaware of whats going on around them but its not there fault its just the way they see fit. people are different in what they say an how they behave depending on there own experiances we cant all be perfect.

Im sorry to hear about your redcent problems it must of been hard for you but im glad your over coming it. When ever you can feel yourself getting mad at a someone who is complaing i always say theres always somebody worse of than you.

it sometimes works because its true! i understand how it must fustrate you and if there your mates just let them know that. they know what youve been through but they dont realise what they are saying is upsetting you and getting you down so let them know!

Youve handled it well to keep it calm on occastions but if you make them aware of what it does to you they will stop. everyones insecure on the way they look, are etc and it can be annoying but you see it in a different way to them that doesnt make them bad people they just dont see no wrong.

sorry its not much i hope its helpped a bit i wish you all the luck xx :)
