"I think that if I ever have kids, and they are upset, I won’t tell them that people are starving in China or anything like that because it wouldn’t change the fact that they were upset. And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn’t really change the fact that you have what you have."
{Stephen Chbosky;The Perks of Being a Wallflower}
You know, everybody goes through their own shiz in life. And it sucks. And maybe somebody else does have it much worse than you, or maybe it's not even the worst thing you've ever gone through... but its still hard, and it doesn't change the fact that you're struggling. So whenever someone confides in you, or tells you they're having a rough time, don't make it about yourself.. Don't say things like, "well at least you're not blah, blah, blah..." or "it could be worse." 'Cause guess what, we know it could be worse. And that it probably will be worse. But right now it sucks. So, maybe just don't say anything. 'Cause most of the time people don't need crap "advice," they just need to let it all out. Just listen and be a friend.
