What were the best and worst years of your life?

Hey Gamespot. This thread is just being made just to share some of our life experiences, as I'm bored doing homework and thought it would be nice. We all have had our bad years and our good years. What were the best years and worst years of your life? And how old are you now?Rules: The years have to be limited to the years you were actually alive. You can list more than one year if you wish. You can even say something as simple as 'all throughout college' or something, just list the actual years.Don't be a smartass and say stuff like:1988 because that's when I was born or 1884 because I'm too lazy to think of a year.Lastly, you have to give reasons that have affecte you personally or at least have affect someone close to you personally. Anyway I'll start off.I'm 15, turning 16 this year in September.Best years of my life:2004, 2005, and 2006: No doubt by far the best years of my life. Everything seemed perfect back then. My family was happy, we had a really nice house, a great neighbourhood full of kids and the weather always seemed to be good back then(lol). My childhood years(8-11 years old). I had a lot of friends, I was outside all the time until late at night, I was getting good grades in school and overall I was just really happy with my life back then. Out of the three I think 2005 was the best just because I had an operation in 2004 and in 2006 I got in a bad accident and ended up with 14 stitches.My family always used to go on trips back then. We would always go skiing, camping, boat rides, going for drives, going to the movies, family gatherings, we spent a lot of time together back then. I was also out with friends all the time, whether it be going to the movies, going to brithday parties, sleepovers, it was just a good time to be alive. And I was obsessed with Pokemon. LOLIf I could go back and live those years again, I would in a heartbeat.Worst years of my life:2007 - My Grade 6 teacher passed away. My best friend changed schools. I ended up getting in a huge fight with one of my friends over the summer and then at the beginning of Grade 7(September 2007) he ended up turning another one of my best friends against me. Constant drama at home, I was fighting a lot with my dad. My mother got a new job in my uncle's business an hour away from where we lived. I had also got braces later this year and had a hard time eating for a month since I had a huge retainer at the top of my mouth to space out my teeth. I turned 12 this year.2008 - Had to move because of my mom's new job(the family business). I was in a new town and went to a new school where I didn't know ANYBODY. I had no friends. My father ended up quitting his job and got a new one here with worse pay. Had a really hard time selling our old house because we had a **** backyard so we were stuck with two mortgages and we ddn't have a good enough income to pay for both houses as the new town we moved to is more expensive than where we lived before, so we began having bad financial problems. We lived with my grandparents for a few months and then ended up moving into the house we bought. My father was stuck at my old house an hour way trying to sell the house so all our furniture was still back there. I ended up having to sleep on a hard sofa that was moved into a bare, empty room for a whole year. Our house didn't sell until months later and by this time my father had went into a depression because he couldn't handle the pressure. Our family began fighting a lot. My mom was working a new demanding job(60+ hours a week), we rarely saw her and we didn't spend as much family time anymore. I was also being picked on at school. I turned 13 this year.2010 - The family business was getting busier, and my mom was spending more and more time away from home. My father and I were fighting a lot. My father was grumpy all the time, and fought with the family 24/7. My parents ended up getting divorced and my mom, my sister and I ended up moving in with our grandparents again as we were unable to continue paying for the house. At the same time, my grades were dropping in school and I was always getting into trouble with teachers. I was getting made fun of all the time at school. Ended up going into depression and attempted suicide during the summer. Spent the first week of summer vacation in a psychiatric ward. Ended up dropping out of school for the rest of the first semester due to constant harassment from the other kids. As a result of my depression, I stopped going out and I no longer had any friends. I became anti-social. My grandparents were having a lot of health problems(still are), with my grandfather having high cholesterol and my grandmother having diabetes. Constant feuds in my family. I turned 15 this year.2011 is off to a pretty mediocre start as well as I switched schools again, I have no friends and many of the same problems from 2010 are carrying over to this year. I am beginning to get over my depression though so things are starting to look up a little bit. :)Your turn.

Well, I did think about doing the shotgun thing a couple of times, but I could never do it because I have a lot to live for. This year started pretty good for me, but once problems started they just kept getting worse and worse. I'm really hoping things get better for us both, though.

Yeah...I consdiered a way out as well but I am learning that the bad only makes you stronger.
Im only 33 and I know it isnt that old but I learned that things get bad and no we wont forget those times but we gotta go forward.

Get rid of the gun.

I've always had depression issues, so having a lot of problems on top of that just made me feel even worse.

I'm only 19 bout to be 20 in a few months, so I'm even young than you. :P

I've figured out ways to keep my mind busy so I don't have so much time to think about all the bad stuff happening, so that is what has helped me a lot.

The gun isn't mine, so it's not here, but I have easy access to it. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to do anything like that, so I'm pretty sure I'll be okay. :)

Best years of my life were definitely highschool. It was so easy to be carefree in those days and it just feltsimpler.

Worst years were meandering through college, wasting my life away for a CS degree I felt obligated to finish and yet even now I'm not sure I want a career in.
