to tell and i guess everyone had one particular event in life which we consider a big turning point..which in effect it makes us changes some attitude or behavior or even the way we look on things after such event that we had experienced....i had experienced so many events that i consider a turning point on my life..one big event which was the source of many.. was when i got married at an early age(i was 18 years old)and had no knowledge at all on handling a family except for the books that i had read and other fictional stories when im still in high school..you could had just imagine what it was to be young and married ..and living with in-laws!!what about you? which event of your life you consider a turning point?

Ten years ago I met someone that became a friend. All my life I wanted to be a writer so he encouraged me to start writing again. I now have had several articles in magazines, and two books on the market. I just finished my first romance book and hopefully soon will being seeing it through it's birth!

Yes I believe in every point of our life there would always be our turning point. The point where we know that we have to make some changes in our life. The point that we know things will never be the same. People have different paths to choose... but I know that each of us have stories to tell. Me, if I would enumerate all the turning point in life... hmmmm you will all surely get bored to read. But the bottom line is... we should make the most out of every turning point in our life.

My biggest turn point of my life was the time that I stop playing PC games. If haven't stop playing games, i don't think I can graduate and get my coveted bachelors degree.

There are a lot of major happenings in my life which I consider as a major turning point. When I graduated from college, when I became a manager, when I put up my own business, when I got married and when I got kids. Al of these mold me for what I am right now.

My biggest turning point in my life was falling pregnant at 16 years of age. I did not know what to do with my life before then. Then once I found out I was pregnant, I decided I had to make something of my life, so I can give my daughter the best in life. SO I did two degrees, one in business and a teaching degree. It was not easy studying and raising a kid being so young. But my daughter always gave me the strength and determination to keep ploughing through. I am so grateful and lucky to have her (now 12 years old) she has made my life, she is my life and my 3 year old.

I think for me till the turning point has not come,. there are many events in life that has made me act in different way from the way I am, but none of them can be told a turning point in life. I hope its yet to come. And I agree all has one or more so.

Hi there! Well, I guess the biggest turning point of my life is having my baby. It is a lot different thatn getting married because even when I was married, I would always go out, and be with my friends and still have lots of time in my hand because my husband is working and I stay at home. I gave birth a month after my twentieth birthday. It was a great experience, taking happiness to the highest level and I don't know that you can feel something like that. That you can love that way. I believe that for the first time, I was capable of giving unconditional love. I also learned about being responsible.

Hello vanities, The turning point of my life was when my dad passed away. I felt really empty and lost in life. A few months after that, I 'woke up from my bad dream' and started a totally new life. From that moment, I started to understand my life better. Life is too short to think about the negatives. I am glad that I treasure my life now.

My life has had a few turning points, but I didn't take advantage of them when I should have. Instead of getting into detail, I'll just say I've been in trouble with the law a few times, and never learned my lesson, or more I didn't care. I've been arrested three times in the past year, and the first time, a few months later, I ended up with a summer job and it was going good, but then I hooked back up with an ex, who is/was not good for me and encouraged bad behavior. That's how I got arrested the second time, due to some of his friends, who I guess were mine and that they decided to steal gas. Still stayed with him, still did inappropriate things, and I ended up in jail again. I'd been doing a lot of stealing during that time, and I finally got caught, and because I'd been in trouble before, and I had actually just been put on probation and then busted six days later for stealing, it was my luck to get the same judge again. Obviously I got out, but only after I was able to get my judge changed. The other one wanted to send me to prison. Spending 43 days in jail and thinking over things and seeing how my now ex didn't really care about me and everything that had happened made me realize I needed to change. I sometimes feel like maybe I should be in prison because I have no life now, but it will all work one way or another. I can't get a job because of my criminal record, so I'm going to concentrate on school. I go for my GED test in a week and a half, so I hope I pass that. Then I can try and figure out college stuff. I do church stuff and school stuff, but otherwise I stay home. I actually keep in touch with this one girl who was in there when I was and still is, and some people think it's going to put me back down the wrong path, but I do it to give her somebody to talk to and to let her know the world still exists and people care about her, is that so wrong? Anyways, the most recent experience finally changed me, hopefully for the better, however things in my life end up.

In one's life,everytime can be a change time,and everything can be a change point.the most important is how you view what is happening around you.Attitude decides maybe not everything but also something.so if you take a good attitude,you can find some meanings from every experiencce,otherwise you can imagine......In a word,fact is always stranger than fiction.who konws what is waiting ahead.we just need to live peacefully and appreciae what we are going through.
