I can definitely relate to stories of dangerous activities to distract yourself, especially when you feel like there's no reason to go home.... I suppose I was lucky enough to find activities that I was actually good at though. For me, nothing is more satisfying or productively time consuming than achieving "My Own" personal goals that I set for "Myself"! I've always been able to work harder, faster, longer than those around me... just to silently prove to myself that I'm better, stronger, and have more integrity than those weaklings who just complain all day long. I guess what I'm trying to say is that perspective is everything. Instead of dwelling on what everyone else makes you feel like you can't do, focus on what you CAN do just to spite them! If you let THEIR complaints and criticisms dictate how you feel about yourself then THEY win. But, if YOU continue to follow YOUR OWN path and achieve what YOU WANT then they can't touch you! There's obviously no reason to be like everyone else..... EVERYONE ELSE IS AN A$$HOLE! As evidenced by how much they criticise and complain. FIND YOUR OWN WAY TO BE CONTENT! We Christians are in this world but not of it. Need proof ?? Christ Himself was the original politically incorrect bad boy who was crucified for not being like everyone else. Read Mathew!
