Okay I want you to write a story around this aphorism that I thought up:
"life is just a series of let downs and depending on how you handle those let downs determines your life beyond this life."
If you have a pre-write that fits this [and I will determine whether or not it fits and be prepared to be DQ'd if it doesn't fit].
That is your first choice.
Your second choice is to be inspired by this song:
Good Charlotte: S.O.S
Is anybody listening?
Can you hear me when I call?
Shooting signals in the air,
Cuz I need somebody's help.
I can't make it on my own,
So I'm giving up myself
Is anybody listening?
Listening.
I've been stranded here and I'm miles away.
Making signals hoping they save me
I lock myself inside these walls
Cuz out there I'm always wrong.
I don't think I'm gonna make it
So while I'm sitting here on the eve of my defeat
I write this letter and hope it saves me
[chorus:]
Is anybody listening?
Can you hear me when I call?
Shooting signals in the air
Cuz I need somebody's help
I can't make it on my own
So I'm giving up myself
Is anybody listening?
Listening.
I'm stuck in my own head and I'm oceans away
Would anybody notice if I chose to stay?
I'll send an S.O.S. tonight
And wonder if I will survive
How in the hell did I get so far away this time?
So now I'm sitting here
The time of my departure's near
I say a prayer please, someone save me
Is anybody listening?
Can you hear me when I call?
Shooting signals in the air
Cuz I need somebody's help
I can't make it on my own
So I'm giving up myself
Is anybody listening?
Listening?
I'm lost here-I can't make it on my own
I don't want to die alone
I'm so scared
Drowning now
Reaching out
Holding onto everything I know
Crying Out
Dying now
Need some help
[Guitar Solo]
Is anybody listening?
Can you hear me when I call?
Shooting signals in the air
I need somebody's help
I can't make it on my own
I'm givin' up myself
Is anybody listening?

Good Charlotteeeeeeeee
I'll think about entering if I've the time

A quotation is an expression extracted from its original source, an used in a different context. Hence, you cannot "make up a quote". The little passage you gave us - which is lovely, by the way - is really an aphorism and not a quote. I simply can't help but notice such things. Sorry for being me.

Never say "sorry for being me".
Thanks for the correction, yeah sometimes I don't know what word I'm supposed to use... so I use the closest one I can think of. haha Thanks again!

Good god why does every teen writer listen to the same shit for music, Any thing wuld be better well maybent Rap. But come on people being teenage and dumb does ot give you the right to listen to drigle as well as right it. And I agree one can not make a quote oe of the first things one should learn but then agin shildren are not smart more times then not. And when one does use a quote a source would help such as "I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by maddness" Allan Ginsberg -Howl.
Thats a real quote not teen shit.
Though my fav quote is "whent he shit gets gong call in an air strike. And to tell you the truth it saved my life once so for the love that is all holy. learn to write or stop. -

Hey jack ass get over yourself, Good Charlotte is a band with good songs that relate to plenty of people. And I'm sorry but I'm pretty sure an 18 [turning 19 in december] year old is allowed to listen to whatever she wants. And I'm SO sorry I made a mistake, but I'm human and we tend to make mistakes once in a while, because mistakes means growth.
