Geez.... i'm sorry, but i have to say.... every thing on this web site is SO depressing... you have ppl talking about kids dying, life expectancy only being 30! Can't we talk about something nice that DOESN't sound like a guidence counselor said it! i'm kinda tired of people making their life sound like it sucks.... i'm sorry, but it could be worse. I sound SO HORRIBLE, but i came on this site becaus i was feeling sad about my life, and i wanted to get cheered up... it just makes you feel worse! can't we talk about all of the things we have over come and accomplished in our lives? like me, i overcame diabetes, am still living, getting straight A's (including gym!) even thought i'v missed a lot of school, and this week i'm going to talk to a bunch of other kids in my old school with health concerns about how i've over come the worst and i might actually make something of my life... insted of dwelling on all the bad things... so we might die at the age of 30... some one with out CF my die at the age of 16 from a car accident, or we might live until were 130! the truth is, even if we die sooner then some, we have over came so much. i'm not here to preach or offend any body AT ALL but i think we should focus more on the good insted of the bad... thats what these sites are for... help, not pity.
