I dealt with a lot of depression as a teenager, and still dealt with it as an adult for a time. It's easy to be critical of yourself, especially as a teenager when you don't really get why things are the way they are. You have in your head an idea of how things should work, and how you want things to work, and it's difficult to understand why they don't go that way. But everything has its purpose, good and bad. Every life is valuable.

That is the most valuable thing anyone has ever told me in the past five years. Thank you
 
Life knocks you down. I was told, when life knocks you down, you get up and knock it down. It took me a while to figure that out, but I did. It means, that when people tell you that you will fail, or put you down, you just have to get up and prove them wrong.
