Judging by how you said your parents would not approve of donating to internet charities, I going to guess you are a teen, or at least young. You might think your life seems shitty now, but all you need is perspective. I can't really talk, seeing as I'm 18 and just putting my life together myself, so I'll let John Cheese do all the talking for me.
Suck it up and take what you perceive as shit on the chin. Life is awesome, even if you can't quite see it yet.

BIG BOUNCY BOOBIES! Now that i have your attention...leet_x1337 said:
You have an abundance of x's, _'s and 1337s i your username. For that reason i can safely assume you're a white teenager from an (at the very least) financially stable family and you're going through your precious little emo phase right now. As a 15-in-19-days-year-old myself i can give you the following advice.
SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU LITTLE EMO *****.
Now that might have been a tad strong but fuck it, you need to realise this before it's too late.
People go through the same shit as you everyday and they get the fuck over it because they realise that they're acting like pathetic attention whores who deserve to be shot in the balls and set on fire.
You were the strongest sperm out of all of them, millions of them, beat the fuckers down like the bitches they were destined to be. Ask yourself, are you going to be a ***** as well?
HELL NO! That's a fucking order!
I used to be just like you, feeling alone and unwanted, like the world didn't need me, like it was my life's purpose to unwillingly carry the burden of unhappiness so that others could be happy.
Then you know what i realized?
I am fucking awesome.
I stopped obsessing over my illusory problems and saw the light at the end of the tunnel, i saw my tormentors and looked right into their measly, unimportant souls and saw nothing in store but an empty sleepwalk through life.
I realised that in 30 something years time i would go to the school reunion and i would look down upon them with their dead-end jobs and bastard children, trying to convince themselves that they are still worth something while i would look at them, and as the did at me all those years ago, i would look at them and laugh my fucking ass off.
What's got you so fucking miserable anyway? Arseholes at school? A girl?
Because i can tell you, if it's the first, shut up, you are better than them by default.
If the second, grow a pair and add her on fucking facebook or something, see what she likes, talk to her, grow a pair and live.
If that doesn't work out, forget about her, i did the exact same thing. Trust me, you'll forget her. I can absolutely guarantee it.
There are people going through much worse than you on a daily basis.
TL;DR: You are fucking awesome. start fucking acting like it.
people who have no idea who you are trying to cheer you up. if that doesn't make you happy, go play or watch gameplay of kirby's epic yarn. I challenge you to not smile at thatleet_x1337 said:

And stop being a wimp... Life isn't shit but it isn't gold either. Life's life. So try to enjoy it while you can because there's a good chance you won't enjoy anything else once it's over.
Stop focusing on the negative or you'll never be able to enjoy the little things. Also don't focus solely on the positive or you'll probably be disappointed by all the little things.
Simple rule: be moderate. It actually solves way more problems than you'd think.

I'd have to go with:leet_x1337 said:
Lots of pretty girls ( although my girlfriend is the most awesome of all)
fireworks on the 4th of july
tons of delicious food
the oppratunity to speak my mind
the awesomeness that collage will be
Love
Friendship
comradery
the water
the sun
the universe
the science of a firework
aikido
my girlfriend, because I'd be unable to live without her
and the fact that I might just be able to cheer up somebody who used to be depressed like I was
I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you're not an orphan, you're not homeless or starving, you're not crippled in any permanent way or dying of some incurable disease.leet_x1337 said:
If you really can't see anything good in life, you're fucked. Even in my lowest lows, I knew that life can be great. I just thought that all the greatness is as far away from me as it can be.
I found out that it's just about the attitude. If you constantly think about life as shit then it will be shit and even great things will be shitty to you. Approach life as an adventure, not a nightmare (cliche, I know but it has to be said). Look for opportunities to improve it and you will find them. When that happens, make use of that opportunity because if you don't, you're going to have to look for the next one. Usually, the bigger the opportunity, the less often it occurs.
Don't just sit on your ass and whine about anything and everything. That's just childish. Actually, it's worse than childish because at least children know how to enjoy themselves a lot more than adults do.
Tell you what:
Stand in front the mirror, look yourself in the eyes, slap yourself in the face as hard as you can and say: "Stop being such a fucking pussy!"
Everyone has at somepoint, if not right now, got to deal problems which makes them stressed, angry, upset and depressed. You aren't the only one who feels like this.leet_x1337 said:
But hey, at least you don't live in the slums of the Victorian era or live in London during the 'Great Stink' o/
Because we can go to motherfuckin' space.
And we know that all the atoms in our body came from stars that exploded.
We are all stardust.
Screw your pessimism, I'm stardust.

Read history. Discover what people in the past had to contend with - disease, poverty, constant hunger, constant war - and realize how lucky you are to have been spared such a fate.

Wow, the escapist community surprised me. I scrolled down expecting to read torrents of posts agreeing with the OP's depressing view on life. I found mostly the opposite. Well done escapists.
Dunno about you, but my life's pretty damn good. Sucks if yours isn't, bro, but I think that's mostly to do with your attitude, which I can't change for you. Sorry.
You're on this site so you obviously have free time with which you can have fun yourself and have a certain amount of freedom (no government censorship). Although things may not look good, we live in better times than previous generations (WWI, WWII, Cold War, even medieval ancestors had it so much worse off).
Christ man if you are not finding a tiny bit of happiness in this gorram nice world society made for you you are not looking hard enough! Go get wasted or something. Go to the beach, go play a game outside with some friends. Go meet a girl. Go watch firefly! Jesus its laid out on a plate for you. Thank god you dont need to try and find happiness while hungry, diseased AND in fear of rape.
This man is a god among men. I had a similar realization. It rocks. It really does.Secret world leader (shhh) said:

i would like to tell you about one of my theories; life is pain, every action, feeling, want, ect. eventully hurts somebody, might be you, might be your friend or the guy working in the store down the street. there is however a way of making the world, or at least living in it less painfull, THINK about the consequenses of your actions, and choose the behavior that hurts others or yourself the least. and maybe if enough people do this,then this irrepairedly broken world we live in might just be a better place for it.
this little "gem" of information helped me deal with a dystopian world view and a dysteistic belive.
hope it helps you.
best wishes
