Why is so much given to young people to cope with?

My nephew just turned 18.He goes to church every week because he loves God and wants to go.A little over a year ago he lost his mom(my sister)to suicide.He then moved in with his grandma and grandpa(on his dads side) and today his Grandma died in the home from cancer. He has always had to live with his parents alcoholism and drug abuse. He is a good boy, but very closed off from the world. Never had a girlfriend; never had any close friends; got fired from his first job because his is so shy and standoffish.He has had counseling through his church, and is dealing with things the best he can. He accomplished receiving a black belt in karate and graduating highschool which is great. He hasn't given up on anything. But when will all of this stop getting thrown on him so that maybe for once in his life he can find happiness?

    The poor baby...well he is older than me, but still...the good always deal with the most.. I like to think that it's God's way of giving them more things to deal with the Christianly way so they get into heaven with millions of good deeds and plenty of faith....

    I am sorry to say that things are not getting better. The only answer is to continue to seek the will of God in his life and God will meet him halfway on it. The only happiness here is when you know that you are doing God's will. Only today I saw two people on this forum alone that were wanting to commit suicide. Life is very difficult at this time..

    nobody has a perfect life, most people would not even say they have a good life, we all have things we have to go through and deal with. once he accepts his life for what it is and learns to accept himself as he is he will start to overcome. stay in church let God carry him through he will make it.

    I've heard people say that they believe bad things have happened to them because God knows they can handle it. He sounds like he's handling it, and you obviously care enough to help him if he can't. He has faith, and hopefully knows God will be with him helping him deal with it.
