Telling people "Don't complain, because people have it worse than you." Is bad because it's essentially saying if you get both your arms cut off you have no right to be upset because there are people with their legs and arms cut off, amirite?

i HATE it when people do this. There are things in everyone's life that sucks, its a fuckin fact. Say for instance, I complain that my parents sent me away to a very controlling boarding school halfway across the country without warning, thus tearing me away from my friends & family back home with little to no chance to say goodbye. Yeah, I realize that it could be worse. But when someone says "Stop complaining! Some people's parents beat them constantly!" thats just obnoxious. Shut the fuck up.
