Hey lala, when things are going wrong and to keep my head up I always need to go to someone in my family, (in my case one of my tias) and she helps me get through the rough times. Also, listening to your music or any other music puts me through a better mood. And everyone needs to remember to always try to keep their head up and we can all get through the hard times life sometimes seems to throw at us!! -Naomi

Whats up. when things are going wrong for me in my life, to cheer myself up I turn to 2 things. I find a song that relates to what I'm dealing with & if that doesnt help me then I turn to my bestfriend. He helps me through any situation possible & he always knows what to say to make me feel better.-YVETTE

To hold my head up when things get me down I do different things, it depends on the situation. I think about my dreams, and goals I have in life because they are more important than any kind of problems and situations that presents to me in life. I like to listen to music because it takes my mind off of it. I also talk to my family mostly my sisters so I could let my feelings out with the people I trust.

Ladi Gucci wrote on 09/10/09 5:37 PM

Hola LaLa! Well what I do to hold my head up when things are down is talk with my homegurls and then pray to God about the situation thats going on. Then I tell myself no matter what things are looking like now it will adventuly get better for me one day even if it doesnt seem like it now. I also listen to your music and someother artists that have songs that are fitting to the mood and situation that im going threw at that time. Then rember my abuelos and thier strength threw thier struggles of hard times and horrible dieseas that they had in thier life. I look at the strength and courage they had they never let thier head down but always looked up and had so much faith in God.

darlene wrote on 09/10/09 5:38 PM

during my teens years when things went wrong, i started abusing drugs. i thought that was the answer to make me feel better but in the end it was my enemie. Now that i am a mother, when things get tough and i feel depressed or down, my best medicine is my 3yr old daughter. she gives me the best hope and laughter that i need to to cheer up. its because of her i will never give up, and she has changed my life for the better and will continue giving me the strength whenever i feel that kick of motivation. She Keeps my head up:)

Hey chica! What i do to stay strong and to hold my head up when times get hard is i pray. My family has always told me that as long as you have faith in God everything will work out how its meant to be. I also vent to my sisters or my best friends and that just helps me to be strong and it just helps me to stay positive and to keep my head up.

Sandy Avila wrote on 09/10/09 5:43 PM

HEY LALA WELL HERES MY ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION... WHEN THINGS GET ME DOWN ALL I HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AT MY BEAUTIFUL SON AND HELL MAKE ME FEEL BETTER RIGHT AWAY NO MATTER WHAT IT IS THATS GETTING ME DOWN. HE MAKES ME REALIZE THAT NOTHING ELSE THATS BOTHERING ME CAN EVER COME BETWEEN OR AFFECT THE LOVE AND BOND THAT ME AND MY SON HAVE<3

Gabriela wrote on 09/10/09 5:53 PM

There's different things that help me keep my head up. But the main two are: familia and music. I'm super close to my sisters, so I just sit down and talk to my sisters. Get everything off my chest. And at times, you don't even need advice, you just need someone to listen. And I love that about my sisters. They don't judge, there just always three for me. And being around my nieces and nephews. They're so young and carefree, and you need to be around that and be like that once in a while. They do the most simple things, and that makes you smile and forget about whatever it is that's holding you down. The other is music man. I grab my iPod and isolate myself from everything; listen to some oldies. Man, that right there is like my remedy. It's so amazing how songs that you may not necessarily relate to, can help you out so much. So that's what I do to keep my head up!

Monique Contreras wrote on 09/10/09 5:54 PM

well when im feeling down Lala i listen to music.....if not i talk it out with my momma....she understand me most of the time.....but sometimes i just paint on a fake smile with lipgloss....

MzKARMAH wrote on 09/10/09 5:56 PM

Well LaLa what i have always done on my rainy days is first of all put some OLDIES on they always make me feel better. I lock my self in my room put my music full BLAST & sing along with the song. Then i get my BOOK and write down what im FEELING. I write and write till i kant no more. I have many letters, poems, and Drawings that i have done. Hopefully you can check them out one day. Also the last thing i do is turn to my Comadre i have known since like 2nd grade. That always helps a song i have added to the music i listen to is Your song SAD GIRL it really hits home and i feel like you talking straight to me telling me to keep my HEAD HIGH

Hey wats up LaLa!! Well theres a few things that I do to keep my head up when things get me down is find a place of my own that helps me relax I kick back in my room and listen to music!! I listen to your songs which I love!! And any other music that puts me in a better mood or that I can relate to. I also write in a journal about how I feel and what Im going through when times get rough. And if that dont help then I turn to GOD and pray and ask him to help me to get through watever Im going through. And if I need to talk it out I go to my parents and ask for their advice which helps alot and the best advice they gave me is to Never give up and to always have Faith in GOD and keep my head up to the Sky!!! Much Love and Respect!! --SARAH

Play the violin, i mostly just get lost in music keeps me thinking positive, that life cant be over just cause of one situation. i also believe that when things happens it happens, all i can do is move on.

Heyy lala, well wen things get down in life i like to put every thing aside; you now like that dark spot in the back of your head. But When im really down and i just cant find a way to keep my head up i try look on the bright side, every thing good or bad happens for a reason and sometimes you just gotta lern to deal with it (other times thats all you can do).

Nicole wrote on 09/12/09 10:05 PM

hey LALA! well to answer your question, there is not just ONE thing that I do to keep my head up. I think that no matter what is going on in life it is always important to count your blessing and be grateful for what we have in life because there is always someone out there that has it worse.I always remember to pray and ask God for the strength to move forward. And of course since I love to exercise, I'll put The American Mija Mixtake on repeat on my Ipod (as loud as it will go!)and go for a long run. Your music,especially the song Sad Girl always makes me remember to keep my head up! luv you girl

SO WHAT'S UP WITH "WHAT DO U DO TO HOLD UR HEAD UP WHEN THINGS GET U DOWN????" THINGS DON'T GET ME DOWN, I GET THINGS DOWN. NAH I'M JUST PLAYING. OF COURSE THINGS GET ME DOWN. PUES IT'S KINDA HARD TO DO IT ON YOU'RE OWN. YEA I HAVE A FAMILY AND YEA I HAVE HOMEGRILS PERO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN FAMILY ISN'T THERE? WHAT HAPPEN'S WHEN HOMEGIRLS AREN'T BY YOUR SIDE AND THEY SO CALL THEMSELVES HOMEGIRLS? PUES GOING TO THE POINT, I KEEP IT ALL TO MY SELF AS THE ONE AND ONLY PERSON THAT KNOWS WHATS UP, PERO I EXPRESS MY THOUGHS WITH A PENCIL AND PAPER WRITTING LYRICS WHICH AT THE END I ALWAYS END UP WITH THE FAMOUS SAYING "NOTHING CAN GET YOU DOWN UNLESS YOU LET IT GET YOU DOWN". I WRITE LYRICS PERO THE BEST OF ALL THAT KEEPS ME HOLDING MY HEAD UP HIGH IS LIL ROB! HELL YEA! HE TALKS ABOUT HOW LIFE IS AND HOW NOTHING HAS KEPT HIM DOWN. NOT ONLY HIM BUT ALL CHICANO RAP LIKE HMM LALA, YEA YOU. YOU'RE LIKE THAT HOMEGIRL THAT KNOWS WHATS UP IN A MEXICAN-AMERICAN, CHICANO LIFE. SO YEA I LISTEN TO MUSIC AND WRITE LYRICS AND I ALWAYS KNOW QUE IF I PUT MY HEAD DOWN ANYBODY CAN STEP OVER ME SO THE ONLY THING LEFT TO DO IS BE STRONG, CUZ I AIN'T GONNA LET ANYBODY STEP OVER ME . . .

MzKARMAH wrote on 09/13/09 9:48 AM

Hay LaLa. Its me again. Well to add a lil more to wut i had already wrote. I was reading wut alot of people wrote and many of them say that they turn to their family but i dont. The reason is because i dont like to worry my parents or give them more s*** to stress bout. When things put me down i first and foremost turn to myself and take care of my own problems. But only because i feel at times like my family wont understand what im feeling. I try to always keep my head up and look at the possitive things in life. Aside from writing in my book, drawing and listening to music i try and finish my scrapbooks that i always start but never finish. It helps looking back at all the pictures i got and they build me up. Looking at all the goodtimes. I also think what would the people i look up to do. People like you, like angel, like jenni rivera. All strong latinas. Then realise things will get better.

Wasup? When things go wrong, I always think of the positive things, look forward and never look back. It is what it is, and things happen for a reason. I have a 3 year old son, and he is my inspiration & when I look at him it reminds me to keep my head up for HIM and don’t let anything put me down.

PrincessEri88 wrote on 09/14/09 9:07 PM

Hey Lala, When I was younger teachers encouraged me to do well in school, telling me I could do whatever I wanted. Now as I get older and wish to keep going with my education it seems like doors seem to be closing for me every two seconds. Before teachers used to tell me that being a trilingual Latina in life was going to be a breeze for me. Now I’m facing millions of obstacles based on the fact that I’m a Latina. And it doesn’t really help that I’m from an immigrant family that came here to escape the drug violence in the Mexican border. My dream is to work in the fashion industry and for some reason it seems to get farther away. My motivation to keep going is the fact that I am a Latina. Every time I feel down I remind myself of my heritage and most of the time when I feel like this I just read about one of our famous successful Latinas. We Latinas have had a strong history of succeeding after our struggles. Being a Latina makes me keep my head up when I walk. It was the Mexican woman who fought the revolution before any other women stood up for herself. Eva Peron was politically involved in a man’s world before we had a Hilary. It was a Mexican woman, Selena, who for the first time filled the gap between Mexican and American music, enough to have a movie made about her life. Carolina Herrera, one of the most recognized designers out, known for her classy pieces, is from Venezuela. Frida Kahlo, who throughout her struggles managed to become one of the best artists of all time. Now most recently you, you give inspiration to all Chicana girls or girls who were raised here like me, maybe not in the best environment, to pursue their dreams and don’t give up. The Latin woman is a superwoman, able to do whatever her mind allows her to. She is a dreamer, always pushes herself to reach the unreachable. Able to have a career and still come home, take care of the kids and on top of that make a batch of homemade tortillas…all while looking damn sexy! And that is what keeps me going, being Latina. It doesn’t matter what race, we all have that Latina strength in us. If they could do it I can do it as well. Being Latina will always make me keep my head up, knowing I came from a strong branch of fighting women who never give up! When I feel down, I just pop in Selena or YouTube/Google their stories to give me energy to move forward. Lately my favorite thing has been watching your Sad Girl video! I eat, breathe and sleep fashion. And that tank needs to be in my closet. It’s FAB =) (PS when I saw the video for the very first time the tank caught my attention as soon as I saw it! It’s supper awesome you’re giving it away!) God Bless and good luck with your future endeavors!

Jenny Fernandez wrote on 09/14/09 9:33 PM

when im down i keep my head up high by writting it down or write poems based on how im feeling it helps me express myself but when that doesnt work i talk with my girls they always know how to cheer me up but sometimes i just start to think and my brother who passed away when i was little always pops up in my head and its like if hes talking to me hes like my guardian angel,he makes me realize that life is to precious to be down and we only have so much time here and with that it helps me get back up on my feet again and now that i started college just thinking that has been really helpfull.

Esmeralda R. Romero wrote on 09/14/09 9:33 PM

When thing go wrong for me I always talk to my cousin Martin because his always been there for me sense we were little. I know that if I ever feel upset,down,mad or something his just a phone call away to give me advices and tell me thigS to keep up my head. Or if not I just think bout my little nieces and nephews because most of them look up to me I got 19 of them and their the reason for my smile. I wouldnt want them to seee me with my head down because i would never wanna see them with their heads down. Their little smile on their face is what keeps me going when am down and everday of my life... Finaaly if I dont got anyone I turn to my abuelito who's always had my back and defendeds me agains anyone. In my downfalls when know one understands me he tells me things that reminded me to keep my head up because alot of people would pay to see me fall. These 3 things is what I always do to keep my head up cause the only choice I got left to keep my head up for the one's I love and to show that NOONE CAN GET ME DOWN.!!!

Hey lala. Its ya girl China from Tucson, az. Life calls for hard times, thats jus the way it is you know? Keepin maself busy wit positive things like my job and beauty college keeps me motivated and away from trouble; even when things hit rock bottom. Bein around people who love care and respect me always helps me as well, it's always nice to know that you ain't in this alone. I've been to hell and back & life can be real messed up, on the real- but what didn't kill me made me stronger. It made me who I am today. To all women out there- jus stay positive and motivated as much as you can! Always walk wit ur head held high- it makes life alot more pleasant. And all you need is a good attitude and good people around you. Nobody said life was gonna be easy- you jus gotta deal wit what God hands you.

Hey Lala! Love the shirt but I am so big and pregnant right now that it would probably just get me depressed! lol. But i did want to share my words on this subject. Well I think this is the first year Ive been blessed with so much yet hit w/the reality of how hard things are when you try to live and do right. But I look to God to reassure me that he's leading me to my path no matter how hard it gets. But the Lord isnt the only thing that keeps me going I always look to my daughter and remember how strong of a woman i have to be for her. So when daddys overseas she can look to me and know everything will be okay. She's my everything so when things aren't always easy for us I pray and give thanks for everything in my life I have especially her.

There are so many things I have done in the past to keep my head to the sky, iv done the "i want to be alone" thing, call all my girls and take their advise, that i know they were just telling me to make me smile (which i really appriciate), id listen to music for hours and hours (which didnt always work because alot of songs are so relivant to most situations it brings tears to my eyes), but one thing that would always work for me was to write...not in a journal or a diary...just grab a piece of paper and write every feeling i had at that moment...as i write i would cry, laugh, get angry...go threw every emotion i was trying to hold back...but as im writing and all my feelings are being release by the time im done, i feel like im ready to take on the world and move on....WITH MY HEAD HELD HIGH not even wanting to look to the ground.

Hey LaLa!.. Well when something seems to gets me down i just gotta look at all the good things i have in my life,[God, friends, family..] the people who love and care about me. I also love singing, so when im feeling down i might grab a notebook and write some lyrics to show my emotions. At night i love sitting in my back yard to look at the moon and stars and just think and appreciate everything i have. And of course talking to my best homegurl whos been there for me through thick and thin, she always helps me get through anything. Whether its a good or bad day, i know i gotta keep my head up! follow my dreams! and keep living life with a smile!

Waz up LALA!!! We all know that life is full of ups and downs and like they say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and when I’m down I always gotta think positive and look forward to the present and feature and not look back of wats now history cause eventually the rough times will go and the better times will come to place. I pray to God every night asking for a better tomorrow and thanking him for all the things he has gave me in life even when some times I might not deserve it. Music is like a therapy for me when I’m down I always gotta put some music up. Lol LALA thanx for making all that good music of urs and thanx for being a good role model 2 us LATINAS of today. Love and respect xoxo:)

well, when i'm down and i cant find anyone around me to bring me up i pray , pray to GOD for strength to get thru whatever it is i'm going thru. he's brought me from an awfull place , and has been the ONLY reliable friend. The only answer. The one 2 go to when in need . lala, i noticed in the video, sad girl you were in a church.... have u ever considered making music to spread GODs word. I used to listed to MC BLVD back in the day , and now he sings for the lord, and i'll tell u he's better than ever. Beautiful music. Also, Lordside G.. if u havent listened to them check it out..

Hi Lala! well i think the give away is over but i would still like to answer that question. When things go wrong and i start to get discouraged i always look to my kids, diamond and joe joe. being young when i had them but they still saved my life in every way possible. My angels helped me see a life better than the one i was living. Through the taggings on the rock walls, three dots on my face, cut up knuckles and intial belt buckles haha! Being labeled to society as just another mexicana/ chola, I see now I can succeed and be the woman i need to be. Not only para mis hijos but for our race as well.
