Help!

Ok well i have this problem. Uhhh my parents see that i have potential and that I'm a smart kid and all. It's just that...I'm a negative guy. Now my parents and bro do not know that. But all of my friends know that. I know I don't give myself credit. It's just that...I'm used to being a follower. I got so used to being told what to do that....the only way for me to do something if someone told me to do it. I've been told to do something when I was a little kid by my father. I mean....i don't know what I should do. I got a test today and......my mom got on my *** about it and that gave a lot of pressure cuz idk some the problems on the test. Then she started to point things out that wsa true. I felt like i was no use to the family.....like my life was meaningless. I mean who am I suppose to make to the future?.......

"You should do what you want to do and not what your parents want you do" is the advice of a smart sheila from these boards that she gave me once. I would take her advice right now. See I used to think I was the stupidest writer ever and that I would get nowhere in life with my works. It's just you gotta have confidence in yourself and your parents and friends need to nature the confidence within you.

Does that help?

Honostly...it does. It's that i get so used to doubting myself i don't see that I'm smart. I've been brought down by a lot of ppl. And this was all in school. Thanks very muchfor the advice.

This attempt to post a single comment was a brilliant failure--I love the way you turned it into a joke, while continuing the mint theme introduced by Faith. I hope you leave it as it stands. That said, I've had the same problem and have discovered that we, as PICA bloggers, RS GOLD do have the power to delete comments. I don't want to give away too many Secrets of the Blog, but I'm sure you can figure it out if you explore the blog's nerve center.You bring up an interesting point and I agree that work that incorporates the risk of failure can be pretty compelling. Your comments brought to mind the work of Bas Jan Ader, who made several films of himself failing in some way or another--falling off of bicycles, out of trees or off rooftops, or in "I'm too sad to tell you" [1971] simply facing the camera and crying--before his eventual death at sea, at the symbolically loaded age of 33, Runescape2 Gold during a failed attempt to cross the Atlantic alone in small boat, for a performance entitled "In Search of the Miraculous."
