I have problems with anger and depression a lot. It is hard for me to stay firm and stay calm and have self control. My past keeps coming to haunt me and I hope that some one can support me. The more people hurt me emotionaly the more I have a harder time controling my anger and my depression. I usually am mad at the person making fun of me and then I relise that I did something wrong and i start crying and start being depressed. It is a bad cycle that I keep going through. Please help.

All sorts of things ever since I was a little I just was a little bit different from everyone else because I struggled in English when I was younger.

okay, so my advice to you is try and just forget what people say, because most the time when peopl make funn of somoneles its just to make them feel enfirior.
Theres a quote by Elenore Roseavelt, i cant rember the exact words but it says that Mo one can put you down with out your concent. so dont let them see you down othere wise they will just feel infiror, just wipe it off your sholder, dont let them put you down. Keep your head up. =]

You say "remebering when ..." that was in the past and I'm guessing your in a safer place now where you don't have bullets flying in your front door. Do people STILL make fun of you? Taboo is right, Words can only hurt if you let them. You let yourself believe that they are true which gets you down. Nothing a bully can say can be true and bullies only bully because they feel less of a person themselves and need to put people under them so they can feel just a little bit better at the expense of someone else's feelings.

Yeah i guess so and that is why I try not to go to their level. It is hard to ahndle though sicne i have been surronded by gunshotes and people shoting at each other just because of what a person thought of them. In the end to me people that hurt other end up in some way hurting themselves. People for a fact still do and won't let go of their oppions.

Yeah its a real cruel world, I don't know why people think the way they do sometimes but thats just who they are. Are you in a safe place now? Self-control is something you learn with practice, you have to force yourself to think another way. Its hard but it can be done. We can always help you through that too.

Depression is such a life altering thing and it litterly sucks you dry! I believe you are strong enough to overcome it and I will support you if you want. Who is still bringing you down? You said when you were little but is it still happening now? I know tons of people who aren't very good with english and its nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone has a weakness, not just you. The people who put you down have a weakness. If we didn't have weaknesses how would we learn to beat them and become stronger?

I beat my english weakness and I shound a lot older than I am usually my writting has been pretected that I write like someone who is 18 or 19 would. People think I am way too smart and know way too much about the true world and I think it scares them to be honest. But they could just tell me if I was scaring them and I would try to help them with that. People one way say you have to be who you are and another side says that you can not and it is so confusing. I have learned to control myself enough so I do not hurt myself but nothing seems to calm me down better than a reminder of my true self in fornt of me.
