Different people see things in different ways.
Sitting here talking is not going to solve problems.

Going out and doing something for someone else is good.
It's takes the focus of the person themself and onto others more in need.

Oh I'm too fat....oh I'm too thin......oh my hairs a mess today and I cant go out the door.............my life is over because my ipod is broken or my mobile fell into the toilet......

You can bet that 3 months in a refugee camp would put many peoples 'problems' into perspective. Just being realistic after watching too much US TV and my brain becoming numb with every sentence dotted with the word 'like'. I notice the British are doing that crazy thing too now

Um.. okay... not everyone in the US thinks this way. I for one don't have cable. Nor do I pay attention to anything that the media puts out to the public. I'll leave my house with my hair a mess, I could care less.

And why are you blaming the US media on the problems that have risen in this thread? People can be depressed for a number of reasons... the "US" media doesn't have to be one of them.

I agree that helping people really puts your own life into perspective... but your media comment seems irrelevant to the subject at hand here.

Actually, talking things out can help greatly. Just knowing someone is out there, who cares enough to give you a little time can be very helpful.

As for U.S. TV, maybe it is just that you're watching garbage? Don't let that confuse you on what others are watching or not watching. You really aren't being realistic here.

As for spending 3 months in a refugee camp. It may put some things into perspective; however, just because other have problems, that doesn't negate real problems that one is also facing.
