How can i change my life?

I'm aware I'm the only person who can answer this question but it bothers me how predictable and boring I am. I feel like I can not free myself from my shyness. I can't let go and walk around proudly myself because I am not sure who I am. Yes I am teenager but I feel so stagnant. Now I want to go out there and become promiscuous, do drugs, and drink to feel free. I feel I'm stuck I can't do anything. I feel I'll always be the same and I'll never change. I know this is a horrible wish but sometimes I wish someone close to me would die so I just wake up to reality. i take life as a joke or way too seriously. I do not understand anything. I feel hopeless. I AM NOT CONSIDERING SUICIDE because I feel like I can change but I do not how. that's why i want something traumatic to happen to me to wake me up. It's like nothing can get through to me. People advise about this since forever and I never change because I can't. I know being selfish to wish a death of a family member for my own change. I sound like a crazy person. I need some HARD-CORE ADVICE. Thanks

    im going in the Marines as soon as i turn 18.i would go tomorrow if i could but my parents wont sign.i want to make something of myself and be the best i can be.you may want to consider this as well.a lot of people join the Corps because they want to change their lives.i would much rather be a Marine and do something exciting everyday rather than waking up hating my job and life working in some factory with no life and no future.

    well hmmm.make lots of friends share your feelings with them go stand in front of a mirror and look into you eyes and think what in the world you cant do it ?other people are normal just like you they have nothing special your family members are the only people who are going to help you in ur bad times and support you keep you self busy and give yourself a challenge and do it.if you search about most of the billionaires today once they were selling door to door,working in coffee shop or cleanin bathrooms.so go and do it

    This is pretty complex, you should see a therapist and a psychiatrist to have a med evaluation.
