Lifes lessons
So i am going through a point in my life where I'm starting to see and do things in new and completely different ways. I feel like an adult. I am making my own choices and decisions, and I am becoming independent. I am 17 years old. Although I know this is normal, and this is how people grow up, i feel as though I am truly alone, and responsible for my own future and my happiness. My parents are too old it seems, to understand or even try to. They are pretty much doing their own thing. My friends are always there to help me though of course, but sometimes i feel as though I need to get a strangers view on things. That's the whole point of this question i guess. I am feeling more alone everyday even though I am surrounded by people that love and care for me. my boyfriend doesn't get it, but i know he cares. same with my friends... I guess i just want an opinion about all this and how normal it is for my age, and if this has happened to any of you before, and how to deal with it or embrace it...
i guess i just feel confused about life's lessons. I've been learning so much lately its hard to make sense of all of it...

Hello.. Well I'm 26 and what your goin threw is a small manic depression, not where ur sad, but kind of scared of the world scared to face it, its natural at your age.. When I was 15 threw 21 I stayed in my room 23 hours of the day cause I was scared of takin risk, in your case your adventourious, waitin to see what happens next. The way to deal with it is write poetry, get to know your brain a little bit and your actions, or go to the library and get a book on socialology that will show you how to adjust, take deep breaths, meditate that always works for me if you feel alone its cause you have a talent of some kind that needs to be shown or let out you are special, I feel alone everyday, but its cause you are one to yourself very independent, there's never a healing but jus ways to release your thoughts!! Check out my web site, its poetry and it really helps me release my thoughts...www.poetrypoem.com/sadi...ps its hard to make people understand, its almost impossible to let them know how you feel there's only certain people that will understand your ways.. If you ever wanna vent ill be here to listen and give you advice!! Jeric83

Hi, im 17 also, and i felt that way along time ago but i got over it at a certain point, its normal your growing up and your getting older and your starting to see that you dont need to be told what to do you want to make your own choices now and thats good but becareful about the choices you make ok, but i feel that way often, i feel like i dont need my parents and i cant wait to get out of my parents house and go to college already, so i think its normal but i would just ask your other friends if they feel the same way you do though they might not show it they pry feel the same way, so i would talk to your friends and open up to them, but im sure you will grow out of that stage its just another part of like. i hope i helped some.

I have gone through the same thing recently. I had friends, good family, I was i guess what you'd call "popular" (though that is subject to opinion) but I was never happy. What I really wanted was to be understood. If your coming from that situation than this is what I did.
I had a girlfriend at that point and explained to her and a few of my closest friends how I really felt. How I thought that no one understood. You tell them a little more about you and how you feel every day. You open up to them and see what they say. Just to know that someone knows who you are is relieving. That way people can understand you for you, and be there for you the way you need people to be.
Hope this helps. :)
