Why is everything so complicated when you are 14 I mean there's really nothing that makes sense anymore!

When you were younger, your parents or other adults were always by your side, guiding you and helping you make the "right" decisions. And the choices you had to make were rather simple: Should I wear a coat when it's cold out, or not? Should I punch my friend when she takes my toy, or not? As you get older, you (and your friends) have more independence and make more choices on your own. And the choices you have to make are more complicated: Should I be continue to be friends with this girl who's mean to me? Should I take my boyfriend back after he cheated on me? It's more difficult to know the right answer. And sometimes, after you've made a choice, you realize that maybe it wasn't the right one. This is true of your friends as well; and the choices they make - right or wrong - will sometimes effect you, and force you to make yet another decision yourself! So yes, it DOES get complicated!

But the good news is: with each situation you encounter, and each choice you make, you're gaining experience. And the next time a similar situation arises, you'll be better prepared to handle it.

Life won't ever get less complicated... no matter how old you get, there will always be some new situation that will confuse the heck out of you! But the things that seemed so complicated before will look crystal clear when you've looked back at them through experience. So just keep in mind that this is all part of life, and don't let it get you down. It's not always easy... but I guess that's part of what makes life interesting!

Because you start to realize that there is actually a life ahead of you and with all of the questions that scientists have answered, there are so much bigger questions that no one has answers to.
Being 14 has made me wish that I could know what other people are thinking. Like, read minds.
Because now what other people think suddenly matters and you realize that other people have brains and have real thoughts and feelings just like you, only different. =O

God I wish I was 14 again. Trust me, honey, you think stuff is confusing now? Wait until you're older and you have to worry about graduating and paying for college and applying for college and getting a job and making car payments etc. etc. etc.

Cherish your youth. I wish I did.

It's just a stage a promise!

You're 14, you're starting to grow up, and realize things that you were once oblivious to. You're maturing, and you're being introduced to new things in life that older people experience.

its because your going through a stage in your life where your not really quite sure where you want to be or move. your starting to really find out who you are as a person who you want to be and what makes you you. every experience you have in some way will shape and mold you into the person that you want to be. try not to stress out over it just try and take one day at a time and live in the moment of now. hope i helped:)
