A glad heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken. Proverbs 15:13

They are never easy, no matter what age you are. If none of the articles below raise your spirits, try posting in the forum. It is a topic that everyone can relate to, and it does help to discuss it.
