Top 10 Worst Things About Life

Life comes with a lot of fine print. You didn't sign up for jury duty, heartbreak, or surprise bills, but here you are, powering through like a champ.

From the daily grind to the existential gut-punches, there's no shortage of reasons you sometimes want to scream into a void or hurl your phone across the room.

And while the good stuff gets plenty of airtime like sunsets, puppies, and decent Wi-Fi, this list is for the other side of the coin.

The Top Ten

Death

Heaven and hell are the least likely. Abrahamic religions came after earlier religions. Ghosts, reincarnation, or nothing are more likely.

Death is obviously the worst. You think about it as a kid, a teen, an adult, and as your life goes on. Then it strikes when you least expect it and everything you have, everyone, is erased from existence.

Yeah, when you're young or a kid, it's a thing that you don't want to leave but stay forever. Plus, school is helpful otherwise our life would be stupid and we wouldn't know anything.
Stress

Stress really makes our life uncomfortable.

Stress sucks. I have gotten stressed out a lot in the past few months.
School

I love seeing school #2 on the list. It is so true. School has gotten to the point where it is probably better for you to just not go instead of go. You have to go though, because that is the law. School is nothing more than a brainwashing center that discourages you from pursuing your goals in life. It wastes your entire young life. I swear, kids of the newer generation are going to die sooner because of the amount of stress they get. It is that bad.

Give three reasons why I should be thankful for this hellhole. How is it crucial when 75% of the stuff we learn is completely useless? Like, I totally need to know what mitochondria is. I spent 7 freaking hours in this place called hell! Damn, I'll be surprised if the kids nowadays grow up to be successful human beings.
By the way, school makes you unhealthy. With the crappy lunches they have and PE frankly does nothing. Heck, I'm a tennis player and I don't do PE - it's that useless. Also, sitting at your desk 6 hours a day is not healthy.
No offense to teachers, but half the assignments you use you didn't even make. Schools nowadays could care less about us. Thanks to our pathetic government, our education system is like North Korea's. School has made me lose the desire to do new things and learn new things. Thanks for ruining my childhood. Should be number one.
Worry

I often worry about random things, but I remember what the Dalai Lama once quoted:
'If a problem is deemed fixable, there is no need to worry. But if a problem is deemed unfixable, then there is no point in worrying!'

For me, worry equals headaches. I don't like headaches, so I try to worry as little as possible. But it still sucks.
Betrayal

Oh, you mean when someone acts nice and tells you really nice things, and then you find out it was all fake? They always get mad at you for no reason and make you feel horrible and tell mean things about you to your other friends? Everyone replaces you with them? I hate that.

Being backstabbed by your best friend is just true pain.
Depression

Depression sounds horrible. I don't have the condition, but some of my friends do. No one deserves to be depressed.

Nobody likes being depressed.
Loss

Loss is so tormenting. Just like when I was in school, my teachers grounded and punished me while I was in class, and then locked me in the room. Just horrible. HORRIBLE!

To me, another person's death is way worse than your own, but we'll all die eventually (no matter how much a lot of us hate it). Plus, I don't think that school is bad. Yeah, there are a lot of mean people in school, but there are nice ones too. If you think about it, the creator of TheTopTens obviously went to school, so without school, there would be no TheTopTens. Anyway, stress is terrible, but it's nowhere near as bad as loss.
Injury
Bills

Why the hell do they always have to be so damn expensive?!
Pain

I have to suffer pain every time, but everyone else does suffer from pain.

The Newcomers

?
Babies

Yeah. Babies are so nasty and annoying. They're always pooping in their diapers, crying nonstop, running around naked, and probably going to give me nightmares. Do you think babies are so cute? I never think so!
?
Chemical Spills

The Contenders

Religion

Ugh. Being religious is way too hard for me. I tried thanking Jesus for several weeks, and it just didn't work too well. How can I save my religion? Oh well. Go watch the movie Ben-Hur and maybe you'll find out.

Religion is brainwashing several people into believing lies. Religion is ruining society, not helping it.

Lies used to control people. Wake up to the reality of science.
People

People are the worst species. We are completely screwing up our planet. We are cruel to animals, we kill people for no reason, we are stubborn, mean, ignorant, and corrupt. We oppress people, we start wars over things like territory (instead of just forming into one giant country). Some people are racist and sexist. We boss people around, we start stupid things like school, and we are polluting the world. I wonder if alien races learn in school that humans are an example of a failed species.

This should be so much higher up the list. People in general drive me crazy. They have so much pride which they should not really have, especially because they are extremely ignorant yet act as if that ignorance helps them get ahead in life. Humans have corrupted the world with their unbelievable stupidity so much that it is nearly impossible to find one good and wise person.
Money

Some people have too much, and most have not enough. All because of luck. The body and brain you're born with, the environmental influence, and your genetics all influence how well you do with money. It saddens me to think about how the society in reality is so inferior to the one I see within my mind.
Homework

If I find a lamp with a genie inside it, my three wishes would be: 1. No school 2. No homework. For the 3rd one... I don't care. But without school or homework, life would be a lot better!

This should be number 2 on the list. Homework is so terrible. I hate it when I have to do homework.
Animal Abuse

IDK why animal abuse has to exist in this entire world. It's illegal globally. It hurts the lives of poor animals. It affects circuses, zoos, and other natural environments, causing suffering and death. It's like animals can't even survive without food.
Aging

Time flies and my life goes by so fast. First, I remember I am 2 years old...then I'm a teenager...then I just turned 21, and now I am 26. Next thing you know, I'll be turning 30, 40, etc. Then I eventually die!
Growing up is so tough!

I want to be a little kid again. Everything was so easy. Now, life sucks. I want things to go back to how they used to be. I regret saying I wanted to grow up when I was younger.

Aging is so bad. Think about it: if you live to be really old, like 100 or something, you spent most of your life being an old person. What's the point?
Taxes
Racism

True, but false or flippant claims of racism are just as bad.

Racism is not funny. It is offensive.

It's just so ignorant and stupid.
Anxiety
Rejection
Mental Health Problems

I wish there weren't mental problems so everyone could be just as smart and capable.
AIDS
Haters

It's okay to hate a few things, but that's not a reason to go too far. There shouldn't be name-calling or swearing when you're explaining your opinion. I'm sure there are other ways to explain your opinion and to not use those nasty things. Or maybe the hate should actually stop. Let's just say you're writing a comment, making a statement that you hate the subject. You don't have to say anything at all if you hate it. You can just keep it to yourself.

Haters are one of the worst things on the planet.
Greediness
Cancer

How are this, AIDS, and murders not higher up?

Cancer is awful. I don't even know why it exists.
