My mom and dad are fighting and it's father's day. My mom decided that she would go and get pizza, even though my brother, father and I were making hamburgers and potatoes. My mom blew up in my dad's face because he was making mashed potatoes and she wanted to save the potatoes for potato salad the next day. My mom then began to throw things around the kitchen, and because I tried to get them to stop fighting, my mom almost beat me. I'm not confined to my room and I want them to stop. I can't stop crying, and I want them to stop fighting so bad, but I'm afraid I'll be beaten....

Oh my gosh, do they literally beat you? For trying to help? Just saying, but if anyone needs to be beaten, it's your mom. Pm me sometime this week and I'll try to shoot you some advice, although I've not been in a similar situation.

Lots of hugs,

Silver~Shadow

Omg I had a situation like that before! My mom threw everything all over the floor. I got them up then she started to help. I am not a huge fan of my dad. That is just... UGH! Compared to what happened. Feel free to pm me about it

I'm usually a pretty happy person. Everyone loves to get hugs from me, and I give them to everyone. But sometimes I just have to cry. And when I do, my friends treat me like nothing at all. Which is, in fact, why I stopped crying six or seven months ago. It wasn't like a slow realization or agreement or even goal. It was just kinda there whenever I wanted to cry. Don't cry, They'll hurt you. They won't care. They'll make fun of you. It was always there, all in my face whenever my throat closed up a little and my eyes got watery. So I just stopped crying. I would, yes, look away, or maybe my voice would get small and squeaky, but did they ever notice? No. So I was free to do that, but they got pushy if I hinted even the slightest bit I would cry.
yeah, some people would make me feel plain old happy. but others? they would put me down. It's not good enough. Mine is better. Is that all you can do? I can't even believe you got into that school. I don't want to talk to you about it-- you don't deserve it. They would insult my work, laugh at my mistakes. I got so afraid to do anything, and I wanted to smile and be happy, but there was always one small weight dragging me down.
This one friend. Who had "strong opinions" in her words. But she was just mean. I don't care if I'm hurting her feelings right now, but at some point, she made almost everyone in our class cry.
My vent is now over.

[farewell]

Please do not ever hesitate to talk to me. I'm always here. I know what it's like to feel upset, unwanted, or just overcome with sadness. I never want any of you to feel that way. You're all extremely beautiful and have so much potential to go far in life. Please do not ever give up.
My PM is always, always open for ANYONE. It doesn't matter who you are, what you've done, or our history.... I'm here to listen.

Crappy. Terrible. Worthless. Irritating. Mean. Fat. Over-exuberant. Stupid. Idiotic. Weird. Tiring. Over-reactive. Spoiled. Bratty.
These describe me. They are me.
Ugh. I was so happy. I am so happy sometimes. But then a idiot comes along and makes me feel like this, or more often, I make me feel like this. And I shouldn't, because I have a great life. Better than anyone else I know. My parents are nicer. I have more money, more privileges. Boy, people tell me that all the time.
But
I feel
horrible.
Because
I am
horrible.
Guilty, I feel so guilty. I should be happy-happier than most! But no, I want to be gone. To fall asleep forever. And for what reason? Because my life is great? Well, for some reason, I'm just this little stupid girl that can't even handle the stress of one test. This ugly girl that has scars on her skin.
Why, why I say? Why do my friends have to deal with me? Why do I have to care about my friends so much? Sure, it makes me a good friend, but their emotions are mine. If they're angry, I end up angry. If they're sad, I'm even more sad than them.
And because I'm sad about one thing or another, they have to deal with that. My best friend has to deal with me near-tears during sleepovers. Because I can't handle my easy life.
Now, now I feel terrible. Absolutely terrible. for doing that to them. Yeah, yeah I know you'll tell me their emotions don't matter as much as mine, but they do. They make me want to live. They make me who I am and how I think. They make me me. I'm not going to leave them because they might be mean to me. I am NOT better than them. Because without them, I am nothing! So don't give that as advice, because that's not advice, that's suicide.
They say it's fine, my friends, but I know I make them feel bad. Oh, I know I do. And so it just makes me more guilty, because they don't need this in their lives. Some of them are actually in bad situations and are suffering with their own depression.
And I shouldn't care, I shouldn't worry. I got a 97% and 98% on my reading and math state tests or whatever their called. And I cried. I can't stand for anything but perfection.
And like, when I didn't sit at my seat at the dinner table, I cried.
I know it's stupid-I'm stupid. But so many little things like that, so many things that would just be everyday to most people, to people that should be sad according to me, aren't. And then I am. And I'm just so stupid and spoiled and bratty and idiotic.
I just can't.. I can't do this anymore.

You are none of those things. You are an angel in God's eyes, no matter what people say. *Hugs* You are not worthless, horrible, or nothing. You are a wonderful person with a beautiful potential in this world. If people say bad things about you, don't listen to them. If that's what they'll do, maybe they should have a major change in attitude. You are lovely, beautiful, and never believe that you are any of those things. <3

Thank you.. It's just, ugh. It's so hard to believe that... I'm just... It's like I'm trying to swim in honey, and when I start succeeding, someone I care about is failing, so I go rescue them, and it drags me down, so I can't succeed again for a while.. But I don't want to not rescue them...

i cant get better at art
i cant
my art is a piece of trash
im the only one who thinks it needs a feature
people are rude to be about it
just let me be good at art god ;_;

██★██ (I would PM you fi I could, but your PMs seem to be off)

I see you here quite a lot, and I have a little something to tell you. Excuse me if it comes off as rude, I am an artist myself, so what I say might be a bit straight-forward and not sugarcoated.

First up, no ones art is a piece of trash. Never. A 1 year old childs scribbling isn't a piece of trash, and neither is your art.
Second, I understand that you want to see improvement. That is great, it means that art is in some way important to you, and that is always great to see. However improvement will ONLY come if you spend A LOT OF TIME on EACH DRAWING. I've looked at your gallery a few times in the past, and all (or most, anyway) of your drawings have been done in less than 10 minutes. No artist, no matter how great, could make a masterpiece in that amount of time. And that amount of time will give you minimal improvement. You know why? Because it's not enough to actually practice something. Because practicing includes LEARNING and learning TAKES TIME.

Here is what you should do.
1. Pick a subject you want to draw better. For example, pick a pokemon. Or an animal.
2. Look it up on google. You will find many pictures of this creature in many poses.
3. Don't copy any image, but take note of the details. The shape of its head, the placement of its ears, the length of its legs and tail. See if it has any distinguishing features.
4. Decide on what kind of pose you would like to draw it in. DO NOT COPY ANY EXISTING IMAGE. VERY IMPORTANT. For example, it could be running to the left side. Or sitting. Or flying if it has wings.
5. Pick an image in a different pose. For example, if you want to draw a pose with the creature sitting, pick an image where it's standing up. It's important to pick one where you can easily see its features.
6. Open your choice of art program, and, if possible, place your reference image next to the program. If not, keep it in a separate tab for easy access.
7. Draw the creature in the pose of your choice. Doesn't matter how it comes out.
8. After you finish this (remember to take your time, redraw anything that you feel doesn't come out right the first time etc), open a new layer and hide the first one and draw the creature in a different pose.
9. Do this several times until you don't need to look at the reference image anymore, or until you feel that your drawing looks somewhat similar to the creature itself.
10. Save the drawing but DON'T UPLOAD IT.
11. Come back to it later, you will see flaws and errors. Fix them. Redraw as much as you need to.
12. Once you finally feel good about your creation, save it and submit it (if on CS).
If done correctly, this should take AT LEAST 1-2 hours. Even more if you put in a lot of effort.
If done every day, or as often as you want to, I can guarantee you will see significant improvement after some time (think a few weeks).

Key points:
Patience. Nothing is going to happen instantly.
Time. Put A LOT OF TIME into each smallest detail.
Effort. Remember to color your drawing, and don't use the bucket tool. Everyone can tell when a lot of effort is put into a piece.
Don't be upset when you don't see immediate improvement. Instead, pick a new creature (or even object, plants are fun to draw) and redo all of the above steps. Improvement will be gradual, but you will see it eventually.
Don't do art only to be featured or to get compliments. All of these things come with time, and usually your art needs to reach some kind of a level of quality for people to look at it and go "wow, that's impressive". Don't let this discourage you, though. ALL artists go trough the stage you are currently in. But what separates from from non-artists, is that they pushed trough. It was hard, but they did it. And you can too, but only if you are willing to put a lot of time and effort into what you do.

t-that was actually helpful.. thank you..

So depressed......its eating me alive....i cant take this anymore....everything is piling up and destroying myself inside.....

Why won't my dad quit smoking? Me, my mom, and my little brother have all tried to get him to quit. The secondhand smoke is affecting me, I can tell. I've been getting headaches daily because of it, and I've had a cough recently, too. He yells at me whenever I try to talk sense into him, and he never makes an effort to give it up. It's just getting worse.
