Damn, thats a mighty tiny wage for a month. I spend that on soda's and munchies a couple times a week. Typical people in wealthier countries should have no use for self pity considering the what if's.

I take back my last comment. I consider myself to be extremely lucky. I have an amazing girlfriend, a cool job and the best mates.

My personal opinions are not endorsed by FileFront. But they should be.

If I can to India with 500 USD, what could I do?

thats why child labour is high in poor families , they can survive only if everyone in the family works.you can live for 2 months if you spend 500$ carefully, they tend to charge more to foreigners

This is why it bugs me when you get all these kids, born into rich families, who cut themselves and stuff and become all suicidal. There is always a person worse off than them and they dont consider suicide or hurt themselves, they just get on with it and deal with the cards they have been dealt with.

I was watching Platoon the other night, and that made me feel really appreciative for the life I have been given, I am very lucky, I could easily have been born into a poor Vietnamese family or be born somewhere else that isn't as privileged as England and other MEDC's.

I've considered suicide before Newborn, you should know that.

But yeah, I consider myself lucky. Sure, I failed my GCSE exams, and am failing college, but I know there's people worse off than me, so I just continue with the chance I've been offered.

My personal opinions are not endorsed by FileFront. But they should be.

autism can make you actully smarter than 'normal' people from what ive heard. this is another reason i consider myself lucky though. i have no mental disorders not ever ADHD or ADD. which a lot of kids now have.

you pretty lucky if you are on a computor right now, also educated because you speak english while a lot of bangladeshis are illiterite. social life is not about being lucky, its about changing to better fit your social life.

I wouldnt trade my life for anyones. I get to visit weird and interesting places people and cultures. Jump out of aircraft with a reasonable degree of safety. Tell officers what i want them to do and fire shiat loads of ammunition that i dont have to pay for from weapons that i dont have to perform maintaince on. I wear a spiffy uniform. Get paid a pretty comfortable wage. Drive a nice car and have free health and dental. Sex life is active and i get PAID to get educated. How sweet is that?!
