High school?
I am so stressed about college and work and high school. I am only in 8th grade but I went to a high school orientation today and I got so worried. They were talking to us about knowing what career we wanted to do so we could pick what classes to take but I have no idea what I want to do. Is there any way I can get my self organized and stop worrying?
Oh and by the way I know that this isn't really a question.

remeber when u were in six grade and u dud orientation ofr jr high, and it looked so hard and stressful, between waht you saw and what syblings and older friends told you. and then after 2 weeks it really wasnt tht bad. well its the same thing when you go from jr to high school. @ first its scary then you get there and its only freshmen for the 1st day you get really comfortable and its a very easy transition, it even was for me and i havr serious social anxiety problems, and i never did good in class in jr high, but i passed all my high school clases,
except health cause my teacher was a *****. some 300 pound ugly lady was telling us "your not healthy. eat better" and she was bigger than the doorway with her only experience being 20 years in a pet store no college. i felt like i was in the presance of Dr. Phil

Yeah there is a way to stop worrying. Just do it! There are people who go to four year colleges and still aren't sure of what they want to do. Or what about the person who works a job for 15 years and wants to change, but isn't sure of what to do. There are always times when you aren't sure in life, but it's your life. Don't pressure yourself and don't let other people pressure you either. You are at a point in your life where you can just enjoy things. Like math? Take a challenging math class. Interested in the body? Take an anatomy class. Picking a career should ultimately be about what you like to do. If you like to sew in your free time, then you could be a designer or own a small dress boutique. If you like to cook think about a career in culinary. No one knows you more than you. Don't stress, take your time, and if you decide later it's not what you want to do you can change your mind cause it's your life! :)

Most people find out what they want to do when they're in the middle of college or even after. Talk to a counselor about the classes. Maybe there are some classes to take without knowing what career you want to go into. But a school counselor or whoever would be a good idea.

Sure it's a question.
Well, my mom is breathing down my neck to chose a career; I'm thinking medicine, and she says that isn't spesific enough. Don't worry about a certain career, just pick a field that you think you'll like to work in; medacine, writing, stuff like that. Most people don't find the JOB they want until they've gone to college for a year or two.
Don't worry about where life's going to take you. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. Where ever you end up, that's where you're supposed to be.

Dont worry so much. High school is suppose to be the best part of you whole school career. Dont listen to those people, all the teahcers and guidance department told everyone that some students dont no what they want to be until they are seniors. So you have a while to be thinking about college. Just take regular classes.

Don't worry about it. High school is not going to be as difficult as it looks. You have 4 years to decide what you want to do for your future. There are people that go into college not knowing exactly what they want. You'll pick the classes when the time comes. You haven't even taken high school courses yet, so of course you don't know right now.

I'm a sophomore in college and I still don't know what I want to do!!!
Take an interest, and work with it. Pick classes that interest you. You really don't need to pick classes for the future. It's there so that if you do already know what you want to do, you can get a feel and make up your mind.
Good luck!!!

Don't stress about it, enjoy high school. They are supose to get you to start thinking about your future. The reality is that most people don't know what they want to do.
Many college students end up changing their majors and career decisions. Get involved in a club, a sport, or some activity and have fun!

when i grad. hs a few years ago i thought the same thing. i was working at sub way, not making any money and then a customer offered me a job as a teachers assistant. Now i am in college and love what i do. Now i am a full time teacher making good money. Sometimes these things just fall into your lap. Dont worry about it. you have your whole life.

Make sure you take your Maths, Sciences and English and History, those are your basics. Or talk to a school counselor.
