Current mood: frustrated
Subject: y must ppl be so frickin stubborn?
life has its fill of ups and downs. everyone has to deal with them. everyone has problems. but its sad when ppl feel the need to resort to uh dire methods because they feel that their life is pointless. i mean, at 18 - they have their entire life ahead of them. sure they've had a few setbacks - but it can change. so pessimistic tho - self-fulfilling prophecy. i try and try to convince them but to no avail. and its just because of a frickin football game.

Geeze, I know who you're talking about. Yes, they are stubborn, but you tried. I think he'll just have to realize the things you were trying to tell him on his own.

I personally think that you gave the best advice you could give the poor kid...and I think its just sad that he devotes his whole life to football...thats not right if he wants to actually do something with his life he should realize that life is not all about football and that just b/c our football team is 3-3 does not mean that they should commit to drinking...and another thing....we have 3 games left the team just needs to start working like a team and get their act together and win like a team...mayne he should talk to a professional about this...Jill don't bust your ass about it...you gave the best advice a friend could give even if it means being harsh!
