Try to keep positive, even about the job. Most of us have done our time as well, look for one tiny thing that is positive (co-workers you get along with?).In this way, when when you reflect on this period in your life, the bright spots would outshine the dreary ones. All the best!
There will always be people who will want to pull us down or say or do unkind things to us, but you have to find the power within yourself, to rise above this. You were given a life to live it to the best, making the best of it, do not let others control that fact or influence you to lose that gift.
Please talk to someone whom you trust and respect, there has to be at least one person in your life, worthy of that status(friend, relative, teacher etc.). Hate is a destructive emotion, please do not let it consume you. You are in my prayers.
You are 18, the time when you should be partying and thinking about yourself and what you want to do. Don't base your happiness on something that has not happen as yet. It will happen, in the mean time, enjoy the day by being your Valentine, treating and pampering yourself! Be positive and enjoy life. Happy Valentine'S Day!
You shouldn't drink the water from the tap, used bottled or boiled the tap water before drinking depending on where you are staying. The tropical places are more or less the same, green trees, sun, sea etc. with cultures varying. Researching the place before you go would also be a great idea as someone sugested.
