Well I really havent had the BEST day.

I went to tae kwon do and my teacher chewed me out in front of the whole class for being late. I tried to say "Sorry Sir someone else drove me today" but he said that he didnt care.
He went on about how higher belts are supposed to be role models for lower belts and how all the lower belts were on the floor before me.

It just really annoyed me because I KNOW there have been belts higher than me late to this class who he just let in and didnt say anything.

Then later in the class he asked me who founded tae kwon do. And I said "Sir I don't know" then he went on about how anyone who didnt know that should be ashamed and made me turn around and do 5 push ups.

Then I couldnt help it and started to cry.
It was super embarrasing but I am just really emotional

He asked me why I was crying and I told him that I was embarressed and he was all like saying I should be and that he loves us blah blah blah.

Then when we were doing patterns (or as some call them forms) he was super picky on my form and I was just getting really depressed and holding back tears (I have moments where I think no one would care if I died blah blah blah).

So he had me help lower belts with their patterns the rest of the class and he was fine after that.

Well after class he talked to me and I really dont remember what he said but I told him that I was ashamed because he said that anyone who didnt know that should be ashamed. And he said something about respect or something but I dont rmember.

So when I came home. I just wanted to make myself cry because I thought maybe emptying my tear ducks would stop me from crying for longer.

But I laugehd and couldnt do it.

Then I started saying bad stuff about myself I knew wasnt true (I was at home alone) and kept beating myself up (with words) but I hardly cried.

Then I like spoke on gods side saying that he loves me and stuff but in my heart was almost doubting it.

Then I beat myself up again (with words again) and it ended.

Yeah really weird day.

I hope I wasnt like possessed or anything :p I think the devil got control of me for a little there and it was scary :p


Additional Info
I always feel like that if I wasnt a Christian that I would have killed myself already. But I know it is a sin so I havent. And I still kinda know that it would just through my pain on others.

Ive also been having trouble at school tyring to find the true friends and such and drama and such. Then I noticed how perverted my brain kinda was one day. I dont say perverted things or anything btu I have been around people like this so long I know when something is supposed to sound *wrong* and I was like WOAH and stuff when these other kids were talking about being at each others house in each others rooms but it was just for a social studies project.

Idk

I kinda feel like I am trying to improve myself for God but I feel like I am in a spiritual drought because I dont FEEL God anymore. Like none of those chilly moments that you know it is him. I just feel like I am blindly trying to improve myself for him and he is somewhere else :(

So post what you think about watcha read.

It seems like your whole mindset is negatively oriented. If your attitude is negative coming into a situation, you are naturally going to react to that situation in a negative way. If your mindset is positive, you will be able to react assertively and maintain a positive frame of mind.

Treating yourself negative has no benefit for you.
He wants you to be a man. He may of went off on the deep end but eventually kids need to man up. In a way it is your responsibility to get your parents going to MAKE them get you there on time.
But to beat yourself up about it? No good. Improve yourself. Use this as a chance to let God change your attitude.
And no you were not possessed lol if you have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord you are saved from demons, hell and all of the sorts.

Sometimes it's a lil crazy in life like that. I'm the same way, a few years ago I had a teacher that always used to take me out of the class over things I didn't understand. She took me out one time because I hadn't finished a worksheet that NO ONE ELSE had finished. It was just weird, and every time she brought me out I started to cry. Don't be ashamed of that man, it'll come to your benefit later. :)
Anyway, don't think negative thoughts about yourself. If God, the One who knows EVERYTHING, thought you were worth dying for then clearly you've got a pretty spankin awesome love out there for you. Don't let yourself be dragged down in depression, I know it's not always that easy to just "pick yourself up and dust yourself off" but if you turn away from the negative thoughts, tellin yourself they're wrong, eventually you'll believe it cuz it's the truth.
And w/ the spiritual drought, just hang on man. It'll get better. Keep following God no matter what. That's what He wanted for us, and we've got eternity in Heaven to feel His presence right there.

I understand that he wants us to be there on time but he gave especially me special embarressment for it.

There have been people that have been there like 3 times as long as me late to class once in a while and he never chewed them out!

But I have kept track and this was my first time ever being "late"
