I think sometimes people can be extremely ungrateful for what they have. I don't think that attribute is only something teenagers have - I don't want to talk about the age of someone in this because personally I feel it's irrelevant.

We are lucky we are able to be educated. As much as I used to hate school, I was grateful I had that right to education. Some days I did feel low. I was bullied a lot at school, and as a result I had no self-esteem for a long time. However, I was still grateful, even though some days were tough.

Some people look at things differently to others. Something that may be nothing to someone else, may be a serious issue for another person. Sometimes, it's just plain selfishness and ungratefulness, and I don't doubt people like that exist for a second. But I try not to be judgmental, because peoples problems can run deeper than they appear on the outside.

I don't think we have the right to judge if someone is allowed to be depressed. Ungratefulness frustrates me terribly, but depression is not something anybody chooses. A teen saying 'school is shit,' is not depression really.

I think being grateful for what you have is the key to being a happy person. Despite things being bad, you can see the good things you have and move on. Suicide is very devastating for a family to deal with. But it's not something done lightly, and very rarely committed for no apparent reason. How bad things are for people are up to themselves.
