Is life worth living?
 

Just a question. I got home today and I didn't feel like doing my homework. I started to think, "What am I doing here? What is my real purpose for being here today or any other day? I mean, does anybody really even care about what I say or think or do? What is the meaning of life if all I can think about is sadness?" It really got me mad because I am frequently ignored in school when I try to talk to my friends. My grades are always bad and nobody helps me when I ask. I get made fun of for being an Indian everyday. It seems to my parents what I say has no meaning to them as long as I get decent grades to them *A+*, which they think I am getting. I hate having to take away my report cards and stash them in fear of getting yelled at. What is the point of doing anything if no body cares? Why even try to succeed when I am always surrounded by sorrow? I think too much is what I am guessing. I always guess the options in a situation that probobly shoudn't be done. All in all my question for the help forum is...

Should I go on living if there is nothing to live for?

Speak up for yourself, people will help. I figured that out as well. I used to be suicidal, I attempted a few times but failed due to interference... But anyway... Just be more outgoing, be yourself and dont try to impress everyone, that's just annoying and may be why you get ignored by your friends. Just learn to kick it. Live for the future but dont forget about the past? I dunno.

I found out that being myself makes me happy, my adittude is if someone dont like me for who i am, fuck em'

To tell you the truth I think about it eveyrday, I have been wanting to die since i was like 7, never actually attempted suicide, but the truth is that the only thing that keeps me waking up every day is girls and weight lifting........and food.

Man its like something is holding me back but I can't figure out what. I just want it all to end so I can rest.

Survival instinct.

I've never really 'wanted' to die, But I've felt like I am going to die sometime soon. So basically, NO, Life is not worth living.

I do it all for the nookie, man.

Agent Smith put it oh so well in Revolutions... and it's the truth, however morbid it sounds... "The purpose of life is to die."

i dont know if life is worth living or not. I mean...think about it. You live as a small baby. After that life is just work work work. You wake up, work, sleep. That's the way it is till you're about 65 or so. To be happy you have 2 have the right mindstate imo cuz lifes not gonna bring you happiness unless u have the right mindstate. The only thing i c life worth living 4 is kids...

That's true. When I get older, I know I will have a wife and kids. That's definetely worth living for.

I actually disagree. I think that was a pathetic attempt at creating something "morbid and eye-opening" for a crappy movie plot. Then again, I full-heartedly hate the Matrix.
I believe the purpose of life, is to enjoy your time given to you here, not to take it for granted, and to hopefully leave the world better than when you came into it. (And I dont mean anything religious by the previous statement, "given to us", as everyone knows I am an Atheist.)
The only people with a purpose to die, are people who've given up on trying.

no life is generally not worth living but you have to it is an internal struggle that i think everyone has to deal with at one time or another.

I made this thread in hoping at least some of you would be serious. So far its just DaFriggenDoctah and LiveWire who have at least given me some advice. I still don't know what to do. Thanks though, you guys.

i was being dead serious

kids...

i feel like life is not worth living many times...

but then think about it...it is kind of so u can have a family when u grow up

The simple things are what really mean the most.

The ultimate purpose of a life is most definately to end. What you do during that life is what matters.

Yeah I guess. Someone close this thread. It is too depressing.

is this even the right forum for this thread?Yes life is always worth living as long as you are not already dead.

Life is always worth living. You have only 1 chance at end, end it and your done FOREVER. and forever is a long ass frigging time. Id rather live my 70 some years then die, then die know. The idea of permanent sleep for billions of years scares me..
