Let me tell you a little story. A year ago I was down to the bottom in my life with drug abuse, suicide attempts, no social life, nothing in my future. I was so negative and I was dragging my family and friends down with me. I didn't know where to turn, I didn't even want to get help. One day though I made a choice, that choice was that I didn't want to live like this anymore. So what did I do, I went and got help. I joined an autism foundation full of positive people who also struggled with autism. I started to push myself out of my comfort zone. I got off of drugs and alcohol, hell I even started to focus on school and make it a priority. Now here I am a year later drug free, top marks in my class, and a huge social group, the biggest I have ever had in years. You know what though right now is the happiest I have been in my entire life, yes I may still have issues but I'm progressing in fixing those. So what I have to say is yes, happiness can be a choice. If you choose to push yourself and stay positive I promise things will get better. Trust me I've been through it.
