I hope that if you come to this site, you feel at least some reassurance. Life is messy, life isn't perfect, and I love that there is a place, virtual as it is that can acknowledge this. I don't pretend to be perfect or know everything, but I promise that if you ask me a question, or if I see one and take an interest, I will answer it as best I can.Check out my forum here:

advice
When I was younger, I used to be very hyper and energetic. I wasn't afraid to act a little crazy sometimes, and I was very confident. However, now I'm 15 and naturally, I got more mature. In fact, people say that I've changed a lot, and that I've become boring. I thought that I was just being immature, but people used to like being around me. Should I go back to being playful and carefree, or am I too old for that now?
The problem with looking back on childhood is that people tend to make it all rosy and carefree whenever their current life feels suckish. Sure, you were well liked, energetic, and confident, but maybe there was a good reason for loosing those qualities. People are very adaptable. Maybe your energy made schoolwork harder, who knows?
In that light, it's good to have some energy and craziness every now and then. I'd suggest letting yourself go a little. A lot of people tend to stick to one way of doing things - maybe go to a really random club after school, or find something you really like and explore it further. If you like art, for example, you could try out your drawing skills at random.
I personally don't think that anyone is too old to be playful or carefree, but there's certainly a time and place for it. I'd suggest doing more random things with your friends, or if you hear about something cool that they're doing, ask if you can come. Spontaneity is always good. Like, when you see a piece of cake in a store that you want to eat, how many people just go and get themselves cake? So go ahead and buy it. Or wear mismatched socks. Little things like that, they just make life so much more fun.
