    Yeah I feel the same way man. I'm 17 but I'll only be 18 at the end of the year. I don't really know what I'll do with my life I don't have any passion or ambition and I don't wanna go to college so I'm really worried too. But I guess it doesn't help to think about the future too much. When it happens it happens. We'll find a way buddy

    They were generally better, but there were bad times too.

    I'm in my 40s and I thought so far, my 30s were the best years of my life.

    My situation is a bit different to other people as I was 18 when I had a kid so maybe I enjoyed my 30s because my kid was older and i could enjoy myself a bit.

    One thing I remember, when I turned 26 I thought that I was OLD at the time and I didnt realise how young and fresh I was. Please dont make that mistake. Enjoy your youth as much as you can because its over in a flash. Please enjoy it.

    Better, I was badly bullied and hated and socially isolated as a teen and part of my early 20s were about dealing with that, studying, starting work, meeting new people, and so learning to be an adult.

    High school is such a limited time, enjoy it but be excited for life!

    Yes it’s intimidating and scary, but life is what you make it.  Sometimes you gotta roll with it and go forward.

  • Oh sweetheart you’re going to be in for a huge surprise. It’s not only going to be work, work,work. That’s only the tip of the iceberg. There’ll be - existential crises, taxes, government forms, insurance, annual health checks, chronic backache, corrupt officials, the AC breaking down, office politics, betrayal and disappointment and failure. So how about you quit with your whining while I wear my bifocals.
