Everyone has a different opinion on it because no one answer can be wholly proved or disproved. Frankly I think existance boils down to whatever purpose you give yourself - if you choose to have purpose for that matter.

If someone makes a claim about something like reincarnation but can't show me any evidence to back it up, then I have every reason to assume that they're mistaken or deluded. If I personally have some sort of sensory experience that I can't demonstrate to anyone else, then I have to assume that I'm hallucinating.
If we're interested about distilling the truth about anything, then "agreeing to disagree" doesn't cut it.

Well that's the problem about backing up rencarnation, people don't believe it when someone say that they have seen a glimpse of there past life. So yeah I know that my opinion seems a bit off but I'm working on it. I myself had some sign of my other life.

Actually, "remembering past lives" is pretty much just new age bullshit.
The major religions that hold reincarnation as a belief (Buddhism and Hinduism) hold that you will not remember past incarnations because:
a)there's simply way too many
and
b) the self is a delusion anyhow, and "you" don't really exist.
There are exceptions, High-Born Llamas and the like, but unless you're a buddah or bohdisattva you aren't going to remember being a flapper girl/gangster's girlfriend w/ a heart of gold in you next life, ya dig?

It would also be cool to fly, or astral project, or shape-change. It would be super cool if life was a fantasy novel. Or if psychics and vampires and elves and dragons and wizards existed. But hey, they don't.
And that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Look, here you are a teenage girl, who's probably not that happy with her lot in life so far. The thing is, you've barely even begun to live.
Now you have a choice, you can face up to what existence really is, (and hey, the real world is supercool too) and make the most of it.
Or you can descend into grandious fantasies and wish for a cosmic mulligan.
Trust me, I've been where you are. I did the whole "magick" thing when I was fifteen. I did the "past life regression" and runes and crystals and Tarot cards and later I realized none of it was true. I just playing pretend, the same way I did when I was younger. I wanted it to be true so bad that I tricked myself into believing it.
Then I grew the fuck up and realized that there's more magic to be found on a mountain top or in Picasso, or Einstein, than in all the faries or Gods ever imagined, and I went out and started living my life the way I'd always wanted to and you know what? It's fucking amazing.
Another person I knew went the other way, she retreated further into her fantasy world. Today she's a destitute single mother of 2 living in a crappy, cat-infested one-bedroom apartment in kentucky, throughly convinced that she is a goddess trapped in human form, forbidden to use her magik in this lifetime.

Why thank you for sharing that but...I am a happy teen, I do like tarot but I know its not real. And it is amazing, when you said " did the whole "magick" thing " did you mean that you practiced Wicca?

In light of your use of that quote, what do you make of the following statement by Nietzsche?
“I mistrust all systematizers and I avoid them. The will to a system is a lack of integrity.”

No, I never did Wicca. Even when I was all into magick I knew that Wicca was a load of bullshit.
I did Talasmin Magick and read about Aleister Crowley and the Golden Dawn, and did fire rituals and the like to "bind elementals to my will" I read a little about Thelema too (but never really got into it).
That kind of crap.

Ouija boards are total bullshit. THEY ARE MADE BY MILTON BRADLEY TOYS FOR CRISSAKE.
Talisman magic is essentially using runes and rituals to "charge" items with spiritual power. So say you want a charm that brings you money, or love, you bring a specific set of ingredients together, mark it with a specific type of squiggly lines, and perform a ritual at a specific time and poof! magic box!
It's retarded.

Despanan, I'm nearly speechless too. After you tell her they are total shams, a creation of a children's game company, and don't work ... she asks you how to make one at home?!?!? WOW!

The only black arts I dabbled in as a teen was trying to get stoned and trying to get laid.
