Thats not to say ive not been in depressing times, I was 15 when my mother died, my father was unemployed and my little sister started going right off the rails. The only stable part of my life at that point was I had a roof over my head and I had the routine of school. For most people thats prime depression material as far as I know. I just didnt let my self be taken by the bad things. I used the willpower I have to push for positive changes and lowand behold it worked even if it did take a few years.
