Is it normal to hate my amazing life?

Okay, so about two years ago, my parents divorced because of some illegal things my father was doing and blah blah blah, details are unimportant. Since then my life had been an emotional roller coaster, which is to be expected. However, currently, my life has evened out and its what some might call perfect. Im a straight-A student, i have alot of friends, I'm pretty much free to do whatever i want. My family life is also pretty good. I live with my mom and my two younger siblings, and we are all very close. My boyfriend is amazing and we've been dating for 6 months. But no matter how "happy" I seem, on the inside I feel like this isnt my life. I used to cut myself. I try to not anymore, but sometimes i break down and i do. Is it normal that my life seems amazing to others, but I hate it?

    I'm surprised no one has suggested that you may be depressed. I once had a friend whom the guys were crazy for and she knew it. Her parents were divorced, like yours, but apart from that she seemed to have it all together. Looks, intelligence, etc. But she also had severe depression and no matter how close she was to happiness, she could never get there. People wanted her to "snap out of it", but obviously depression isn't something one can control. It turned out she had psychotic depression and she ended up attempting suicide. She's recovering now, but like she always says, nothing is ever perfect.
    Go talk to a doctor before something serious happens. I hope everything works out for you.

    Oh this is really wierd i have a similar situation cutting, dad doing illegal things, divorce and now i should feel like i have the perfect life (well other ppl seem to think i do) but i dont feel its that great i break alot aswell and ive came to the conclusion its because im not doing what i want and everyones perception of perfect life is different you just need to find out what your perfect life would be a take small steps to make that happen but rememeber nothing will ever be perfect and yer it helped me understand alot abot myself by seeing a docter but in the end u will work it out good luck xo

    You may need a hobby, something to well.... distract you, something to escape to, Not drugs or anything illegal, that would just mess you up for nothing!

    The i like to do is play video games, ride my bike. One of my friends loves swimming, try exercise! Maybe reading books, or hanging out with friends!
    Just make yourself happy doing what you like! =)

    You sound like a smart person, Just make you don't do stupid things, be happy! That is the objective of life! =)

    Lately it's become apparent to me that no matter what people are getting it's just not what they want. So I don't know how to answer your question, maybe you just haven't found what your passion in life is yet.

    sometimes people are unhappy and you just can't see on the outside why they would feel that way.

    you don't feel good, or right, yet you can't seem to find a reason?

    maybe you didn't get through that divorce as unharmed as you think you did, who knows. it could be post-traumatic stress.

    too bad about the cutting.

    you are a smart kid, straight As. maybe everything is just too easy for you and you aren't challenged. if you are't challenged, you never get to experience the feeling of accomplishment.

    you do have a good life, and maybe counselling would help you realize what is really bothering you. then you can set about fixing it.

    Ummm ... focus again on the amazing life part!!! But sure you have some baggage. And if it is weighing on you perhaps some counseling help would be really useful to liberate you from whatever is no longer current.

    Here's a corny line for you: as merrily through life you roll, keep your eye on the doughnut & not on the hole. (sorry)
