In my short little life, I have been even lots of advice. Some of it has been very useful, but lots of advice that I have been given has been pretty much useless. So when thinking back about the advice that I have been given the most, is interestingly the worst advice ever. What is this useless saying that I have heard some much

Buck up

It is as simple as that, buck up. For the life of me, I can not think of a time in my life when this advice has done any good, what so ever. I find it hard to believe that it is even said. To my understanding, all the saying, buck up means, it, don’t be sad anymore. What are you ordering me not to be said? Yes, when I am in a bad mood, being told not be to is pretty much the last thing that I want to hear. I don’t think so.

If you have ever really truly been depressed and been in a really bad mood, that saying doesn’t not help anything. If you really want the person to be happier, give them a reason to cheer up. Take them down to the pub, for a nice meal or if you are a girl, good shopping.

Saying Buck up, to me, means that you don’t really understand what state the person’s emotionally state is and have no idea what they going through. People that think that you can change your mood back to happy when you are truly depressed are fools of the highest order.

Right, got that out of my system.
