We all have to live and do things that we are not to happy about. 

Today  a girl had to take her little brother to the mall so he can get Christmas gifts for people.  This same girl has to cancel some of her plans to take her grandmother to doctor appointments. This same girl is unable to enjoy her month break from college.  This same girl does not complain to others like most people do.

Miles away, her friend is complaining to her girlfriend on how much she hates her mother right now. This friend is complaining that she has to take care of her mother and little brother while her friends are struggling with family issues themselves.

The girl's best friend cannot see her boyfriend because they live in different states. She lives in Connecticut and her boyfriend lives in between New York and Virginia.  The last time they saw each other was the Saturday that break just started because he was taking her family out to dinner. Now her home life is not the best. She is one of four children, is always looked down on, and has to deal with family drama. She has the worst living condition, but she still makes the best of it and does not complain about it to her friends.

The girl from earlier cannot see her boyfriend due to her responsibilities at home and to her family. Her boyfriend is in the process of moving to a new house in a different state from her.  She texts him everyday, but does not complain to her friends.

All in all, they are all struggling with things and have to do things that they are not to happy about, but they are making the best of it.
