Answer 3

My mother got caught up in problems of her own when I was 12 and I had to practically become the mother of my 2 younger brothers.  

Answer 4

the thing that probaly changed my life the most is when i lost my first fight i used to fight all the time and then one day i just lost it was a close fight but i lost and it showed me you really shouldnt just go around picking fights and it also showed me who my friends are because you would be suprised how many people start to ditch you when you become less popular and the ones that stick with you are your real friends and later on the guy that i lost 2 we ended up being friennds

Answer 7

My transition to highschool. I had always been "a looser" in middle school. I could never make friends or get in with the right crowed. When i went to highschool i somehow just slipped in with the most popular girls at school and i was on top of the world!! If this is for liek a school paper or something u can email me and ill give u a full story with more details.

another negative ife changing thing is that i was molested when i was younger..but thats somewhat sexual so i guess that dosnt count.  

Answer 8

My life almost ended before I was born, and due to the medical problems I have, the breakup I had at 14 with a boy I thought loved me nearly killed me again.  It did emtionally, and for ten years I kept in my own world whee no one could hurt me or point at me or laugh atme.  Last January, that all changed, when I mte the most wondrful young man.  He looked past my problems, didn't worry about anything I have taht has been a hurt in my life.  I wrote in my eledtronic journal right after i met him waht he had done for me.

"Today I  heard a sound, something  that i have not heard in ten years.  Today I heard the sound of my heart beating again."

My beloved (who reads my posts here) woke me up from ten years of darkness and 'emotional sleep', and has given me new hope and the knowlege taht I AM somebody important, and somebody loves me, and not what they can get from me.  I owe my life to many doctors and hospitals and my dad for never giving up on me, but my darling Chad who gave me a reason to live instead of just existing changed my life forever.  He gave me hope taht I never had, and has given his  heart to me, and i have given him mine, and very soon we are going to be planning our new  life together.

Answer 9

MOVING TO INDIA.

haha, it completely gave me a new perspective on life.

I realized how fortunate I am, how bad people really have it, to be open to new experiences and alot more. I also when through this stage here, where I was severely depressed and I would lock myself in my room and cry because I missed my friends so much, I miss my old life and luxuries and I just wanted to go back to America because I was miserable in India. But through the whole experience, it has really made me a stronger person because I appreciate every situation and opportunity I am given, and I realize that I have to make the best out of everything.

Answer 10

I got raped and became pregnant with it. I'm 15 now

Answer 11

Um..Meeting my best friend has a had a large impact on my life. I realized that I don't need crappy friends, like...I won't say names *Cough*Marissa*Cough* that boss me around. I'm my own person, I don't need anybody telling me what to do and how to do it(People my age). I don't have to do what everybody else does. Like with this girl I was friends with for 8 years, she would always tell me what to do. And since I was so used to being told what to do(My parents, god parents, grandparents etc...)I just did it. Whatever she wanted to do, we did it. I'm an independent person with the help of my best friend.  

Answer 12

when my little brother was born, my dad (who has always been about playing travelling men's softball and played college baseball) wore his travel ball uniform w/ cleats into the hospital.  my mom was in labor all weekend, making him miss his tournament.  i'll never forget the harshness in his words to my mom 'i wished you'd have the #@#* thing so i could go to my game' and when my brother was finally born he rushed out the door midday sunday to tennessee..

this made me realize how self centered my dad was & this lead to their divorce.  i was extremely bothered by this scene and quite embarrassed at age 9.  To this day, i do not get along with my dad and we are not close.

Answer 13

Nothing changed. I just became more confident to stand up for my opinions.  

Answer 14

when a good friend of mine killed herself

she lived in a dif state

a few days after i got a suicide note from her in my email someone was on her IM and i thought it was her and started yelling at her

it turned out that it was her cousin telling her friends that might not know what happened so they wouldn't be left in the dark

it was worse when i found out the first time

false hope taken away is worse than no hope at all

Answer 15

Hmm. Well when I bumped into my first bf ( and got together) everyone started thinking me as a person and becoming my friend (got more dates too)

Answer 16

The birth of my son made me realise that you shouldn't live life being so selfish.

Answer 17

My Uncle Died 2-3 years ago in a car accident. Before that it was my grandpa who died when I was like 6, 7, or 8 so it was a long seperation between I had to deal with a death.

Now when ever I visit in that town I get scared when my dad drives at night.

Answer 20

Hmm, giving myself a complete make over. Hair, body, WEARING MAKE UP, fashion, becoming a flirt, EVERYTHING changed everything. I got more attention from everyone, but my bestfriends still stayed the same. Got more guys. And eventually became so confident everyone loves me now. I have haters, but who doesn't? I went from wow, she's, okaaay. Too, oh man your beautiful. It took 6 months to get this confident. And then i just became this little party freak with the amazing best friends and the more gorgeous guys at my feet. =) This is quite the experience, i love it.

Answer 21

My brothers girlfriend getting pregnant ( with my brothers baby )

Since the day he told us he was going to be a daddy, everything changed.

His life resolves around his " son " now.

It's all he talks about ( he's obsessed )

She's 16 weeks and 3 days pregnant.

Answer 22

Funerals.

I mean, it makes you realize we're all going to die. So what's the point of living life on the safe side, or second guessing? Life is too short for doubt or second guessing. Live life to the fullest. Take chances. And never regret.

they also made me realize, bc i went to a few at such a young age, that if we all are going to die then whats the point of being scared of anything anyway? whats the worst that could happen? you die... but that's inevitable. And there were times when I thought I was going to die, but I never regretted anything.  

Answer 23

uhhmm..

I would say when i picked up my first spider.

Then my fear of them was gone.

Answer 24

I had really big issues with eating and weight...i was always skinny but i had this one friend who would just attack me with comments and everything and my mom got me this really expensive bikini and i never wore it because i was embarresed about my body and then the first time i wore it out in public was about 3 years after she bought it and it was really empowering (haha i'm so dorky!)

During that time (middle school) i also got really depressed and wrote really wierd messed up poems and **** - but i kind of tried to cover it up from my friends and family but now i am just really happy and thankful that that stage is over with :) and i have a great group of friends

Answer 25

Looking back at it all, I would say that an experience that has significantly changed me was when I took my first AP class. That was in 10th grade, I've always had trouble in school because I was so far behind for the longest time. So it was an accomplishment in itself to even be enrolled in AP World History, but the class itself changed my perspective on so many things and taught me to use my mind more, and focus on the more important aspects of life, and realize what is truly important, which is academics. It forced me to work extremely hard, I struggled in that class, and it was hard to see my student ID number and grade always be below the red-line mark when the grade sheet was passed around. But that forced me to rise to the challenge, and put my nose to the grind stone, so to speak. It payed off in the long run, cause I ended up passing the AP World History test. That was the happiest moment of my life up until that point because I considered myself academically at the bottom of the barrel on the benchmark scale, which was true. I proved myself, and everyone who ever doubted me, wrong. I realized that in order to do anyting in life, you have to work hard for it, and that the most important trait a person can have a is a strong work ethic, cause that in itself can allow a person to transcencd any setbacks that they face in their lives.
