I always suffer from bad luck! And I have had a string of bad luck happening since Feb. First it started off with one bump to the knee. Then my other knee. Then I hit both knee's again. Then both my ankles twice. Then my cat used my legs to sharpen his claws on all in the same day. He did it twice on each leg. THEN I get my toe caught on the corner of a grandfather clock while carrying water and I somehow manage to fracture my hip and sprained my ankle and little toe AND lost my job the next day because it sounded like a bogus excuse. Then to top that off I got sick for 4 weeks straight after. The falling down part was actually quite funny but that's not the point.

What I want to know is if there is anyone else that has had such bad luck to such a point that it started to get rediculous?

My friends tease me- for me, having a good day is only having something slightly bad happen.

But everyday my day consists of bad luck and good luck- almost in an "when an action occurs, there is an equal and opposite reaction."

Only I tend to have more bad luck than good luck in a day.

Take today, for example. My first hour class got an extention on our project, and in my second hour class I discovered that I had failed the recent test.

Then I ended up making incredibly stupid mistakes on a test, getting a B (parents hate anything under and A- in this class) and my friend started yelling at me for something I didn't do. And in the next hour, I finished my project with ten minutes to spare, and I didn't think I'd finish in time.

So yeah, I guess you could say I go through a ridiculous amount of bad luck. |D

I've confounded everyone as to why though- I'm one of the nicest people around, and hate doing things that would be considered mean unless they've done something of equal rudeness to me first. |D

I know exactly what you mean. I'm like that to. I'm unfortunately one of those unlucky people where it only gets worse then something really unexpected and good happens. And then it starts all over again -_-

I think there's an old saying about bad things happening to good people -- like how many nice people you have you heard of getting cancer, but when it comes to serial rapists and child molesters how many of them, do you hear of them dying slowly of a disease the robs them of their vitality?!

But back on tangent -- I recently havent had any really bad luck, unless you count not getting into my top choice for college T_T

I don't really believe in bad luck. People can make mistakes, but you know... life has variables, and varibles are what keeps you on your toes. I've been sick for the last 2 years, which made my relationship of 1.5 years break, but you know, in that year, dispite how sick I was, I created a character which is currently one of my most popular OCs, and I learnt a HECK of alot about myself and my limits. It was a big education for me, and even breaking up with my b/f- I wouldn't take it back. I realise now we weren't made for eachother. Bad luck to me is over-rated. If it's REALLY that horrible, then you need to take measures to prevent it. Otherwise, just roll with it and remain positive. It's life trying to make you a stronger person [smiley]

I think that's a great outlook on it and definately the most unique reply that I have heard. I've learned a lot from most of the bad things that happened to me as well but it does get awfully annoying after a while. I live by the saying that things will get better soon, and today is a good day.

It's sad to hear that you have been sick for so long but it is good that you were able to learn so much. If I look at it realistically I am just unfortunate more than I am unlucky but it has made me pretty strong in certain aspects of my life. I just get really frustrated when I get a series of events that don't seem to end because I have so much to deal with already.

My mother is very ill and has been all my life and I hate to see her suffer because she is so beautiful and it seems like such a waste and yet still smiles even though she suffers so. And then when bad stuff happens to me I flip out because I don't need it at the time. I hate being sick because then I can't care for her. And I think that's why I tend to make such a big deal out of it. It's not so much what happened to me that bothers me, it's what it stops me from doing that I hate.

Live in the moment, and don't dwell on the past. Plan for a better future, but take what ever that comes your way with strength. That's the code I live by now. It was VERY difficult to do when I was so sick, but now I'm better, I REFUSE to be in that position again. I don't know if I have it or not, but I'm VERY close to getting chronic fatigue the way I'm going, and I REALLY don't want that.I make sure now days that everyone that is close to me knows that I love them, and I don't dwell on idiots- I move on. Anyone not worth my time doesn't get it, and if I want something that's out of my reach, I talk about it and somehow it happens. To me, I believe in karma. IF you do good to those around you, you will get it in return if you seak it out. People are very open when you open their hearts. As bad as it got for me in my year of sickness, I never lost sight of the fact that if I remained as positive as I could be, It'd be better. It took a LONG time, but it did. I think my body was teaching me a hard leasson. I believe I've learnt it finally too.

I take friendship seriously. Life, I don't. It's not worth the stress. As bad as it all seems,there's always a brighter side- for you, you still have your mother. As sick as she is, spend as MUCH time with her as possible. If her health does haven to plunge, then sure you'll miss her, but you'll never live with regreat of never getting to know her. Tell her every day you love her, cause those are the people that are worth your energy in life [smiley]

I do tell her everyday and I don't regret anything. I'm glad that I have her and I am very fortunate to have such a wonderful mother. I ask her everday how she is and I do everything I can to help but it is still hard to watch her suffer. She will still live a long time. She suffers chronic pain and it effects her health but she is mostly in pain 24/7 which is why it's hard. But I'm not complaining. I wouldn't be the way I am with out her.

I think you're right though. I wish there were more people with your outlook. Things would be better that way.

It might be just a coincidence, I guess. I actually don't believe in bad luck because accidents do happen at any time by all means. I do believe in the power of thinking. So if you believe you will have a bad luck on this day, surely it will happen to you because that's what you are expecting.
