    I wanted cancer and I still want it.

    I know cancer is painful and shitty and everything

    And I'm not too sure why.
    I think it might be the whole Fight Club reason.
    You know, people treat you differently when you're dying. They actually listen instead of waiting for their turn to talk.
    But then again I think it might be because of the thrill of knowing you only have so long to live and that you really need to live it up and leave you're mark on the world.

    I don't know.

    But I want cancer

    i don't really care about cancer, i probably already have it
    hell you probably already have it
    if you took a pet scan of your body you'd find a bunch of abnormalities
    everyone does
    i can get what you're saying though

    i kinda want to get shot, in the stomach and survive
    i've wanted to know how painful it was and how it felt like to get shot since i was like 12
    i think the whole columbine thing set it off for me

    has this wish got anything to do with the loss of a loved person a while ago??

    i mean fight club pretty much nailed it, but remember the guy never had cancer, he didnt even lie, he just showed up to the right place at the right time =)

    i want t get shot also, for same reason as Indian-summer, but not in the stomach, like in the leg or shoulder or something.

    But i do believe these wishes for life threatening situations only appear becauuse we havent experienced them. im sure people with cancer and people who got shot cant really call it a blessing of any kind whatsover.




    im actually really surprised at you, i mean the way you express yourself here is pretty much the way ive felt since i was like 13, and i can say one thing, it does get better with time, but only you can make it dissapear. < something im unable to do :(

    Oh,yes totally weird..and in an odd way i am glad you posted it.

    I do sometimes think of what would happen to me in worse case scenerios,and almost, like fantasize about being the hospital injured ,surviving some big thing,being attacked ,or some similar off the wall,terrible situation.
    For me I think it is an OCD thing,though-I tend to work out wacky, overly detailed ,panicked ,worst case scenerios in my head..
    Like : " If I don't check if I locked the door again,
    then,some guy is going to be in my house waiting to attack me when I get home..."


    I can't say cancer is an example,though. My mom is currently going through chemo and radiation for breast cancer- I can safely say I NEVER want that shit.Not for all the flowers,attention, and sympathy in the world....sadly,considering my grandmother and her both had the same sort of rapidly growing cancer,my chances of getting it as well are pretty high :(

    Actually ,no.
    I have wanted cancer sense I was like 9.
    I don't know, I just.... It would be nice... well not nice, but it is just something I have wanted for a while.

    I think I might be a little off my charts though

    No one in my family has ever had lung cancer and a good 80% of them smoke.
    My grandpa has been smoking sense he was 7 and he's like 68 and he still doesn't have cancer.

    I'm prett sure i wont get cancer from smoking

    ok, keep trying :rolleyes:
    i am sure your family is completely immune to emphasthma(sp?) and lung cancer.
    The good news is if you have been smoked over your entire young life, you might already have a head start

    This thread is insulting to anyone that has cancer or has LOST anyone due to cancer. Just because you're 14 and haven't developed cancer YET due to second hand smoke, doesn't mean that you won't get it. Having a relative that is 68 that doesn't have cancer YET doesn't mean that he/she won't get it.

    I can fully understand wanting to die at your age( I was very suicidal at that age) , but to wish something on yourself as bad as cancer is appauling to me. I don't mean to be too blunt, but you really need to grow up. Cancer is not to be taken lightly, trust me, I know. The pain and misery is not worth it. If you need extra attention, then ask for it! Most times if people can tell that you're hurting they will give you a little extra attention.

    People with cancer would give ANYTHING in the world to NOT BE SICK ANYMORE!!!!! You are 14 and you have your whole life ahead of you, the bad times WILL pass, even though it might not seem like it now. The other thing is that when you are young, you don't think that anything bad can happen to you, trust me, it can! I used to think like that until I got sick when I was 28 years old.I would drink and smoke all day thinking that nothing bad could ever happen to me because I had always been so healthy. Boy was I wrong!!!! Be grateful if you wake up and DON'T feel like you're dying everyday and in pain.

    I didn't mean to be too harsh to you, but, I want you to understand how great life is and how it shouldn't be taken for granted. Think about how the things that you say and do might make other people feel. You are NOT invinsible, you might not be sick now but, it might just catch up with you 10 years from now.

    Please take what I've said to heart, I don't mean to cause any damage, I just want to open your eyes a little bit. :)

    ditto

    cancer is... horrible. just, horrible to witness someone you love waste away because they have terminal cancer.

    i realize youre only 14 still and, well, naive about some things but seriously. seriously. it eats you from within. or at least, thats what it did to my aunt.

    there are other terminal diseases that are significantly less horrible. hell, even a brain aneurysm = potential for random death at any time, without all the craptacularness of chemo et al.
