 Teen Advice Online: "Why Me?"
I've been caught up in cycles of self-pity and self- hatred, guilt and shame.
Sometimes even now, I still catch myself asking "Why me?", but I don't let myself get away with it anymore.

Pity often becomes allied to contempt; "a pity" is something to be regretted.
In the Old Testament "pity" is closely akin to "mercy." It is most frequently the translation of chamal, "to pity," "to spare," e.g.

The fact that the song titles on "Pity Miss Kitty" were all from 1958 should have given me a clue, but I was just 16 then and didn't have the knowledge that I have now.
When I first heard "Pity Miss Kitty" and "I Want You With Me" in 1961, I found it strange that Bobby would go back to this kind of material after "Mack the Knife", "Beyond the Sea" and "Clementine".
Among those who bought the album was one Elvis Presley, who liked "I Want You With Me" well enough to record it himself, on March 12, 1961, in Nashville, for the LP "Something For Everybody".
