Hey there, im 16f.
Do you ever wonder why we were put on earth, what is your purpose in life and things like that? Well, im starting to think im wasting my life away. I live in a small town and I just want to get out in the world. I wish I could pursue what I want, but I don't think I can until I get my licence. My life is the shits, i have a family that treats me bad they don't understand me and wont listen to try to understand,I have no friends here, and no one truly cares about me. I don't want to hear anyone say there is people who care because you would think the same thing if you knew the people here and were in my position. I have good grades, an outgoing personality, and I am a caring person. But no one sees that, they look beyond me. I really just want to leave here and do something with my life. Do you really think I can get my licence and then pursue my dreams on my own? Is seventeen a decent age to try things on my own, to get out while I can and be who I am meant to be? I want to be somebody. Nobody treats me like im anything.
Additional info, added Sunday January 25 2009, 7:47 pm: I am going to get my education of course. I just wish I could get out and do more for my life even before I graduate.

PhenomenologicalTigerSpit answered Saturday January 24 2009, 11:17 pm: You sound exactly like I did a few years ago. I wish I'd known back then that you can be the person you were created to be wherever you are. I recommend checking out the book The Purpose Driven Life to help you see how to do that. I agree with Kerry Jeanne about your education. It would be extremely difficult to really get by at 17 without an education. I definitely recommend going to an out of state(or at least one not too close to home) college after you graduate. You'll be in a whole new environment with tons of new people and oppurtunities.

kerry_jeanne answered Friday January 23 2009, 1:04 pm: You are very young. Unfourtunatly in today's society you need to get an education to be 'somebody'. You sound intelligent, and you sound like you have goals. You also sound like you are feeling very unappreciated for all that you do. Finish high school, Apply to an amazing school - finish your education and then prove how great you are to the people who didn't think you could amount to anything. You're too young to show them now but someday you will be able to. You have to work your way up in this world - it's impossible to just start out successfully. Good Luck!

kristamikele answered Thursday January 22 2009, 11:01 pm: How do you do in school? College is truly and honestly the best way to get out and pursue your dreams-and that's the truth. If you hate school, you will have to have a plan. Rent is going to be the constant struggle of your life. If you are good with children, setting up some sort of nanny job is the way to go. You would be amazed at how well you could fit in with the right family.
There are also other jobs that include housing. Why don't you apply for a summer job in Nantucket to get your feet wet? There are stores in the area that will provide housing. [ kristamikele's advice column | Ask kristamikele A Question ]
