They’ve Got It Worse

Listening to my friends' problems had me realize what an idiot I was. How could I have even possibly entertained the idea to talk about my own problems? Ramona was going through depression, David's mother had died, and Hannah was being forced to move across the country. Compared to them and all the wrongs in their life...what was I to complain about my measly abusive uncle? Everyone had it worse giving me no right to complain. So I put on my sympathetic face as always and prepared to listen both to my friends worse off and the screaming to come later at home.
