Lately i have been stressed out on what career I want to be when I grow up, I am only a junior in high school. Sometimes I want to be a doctor, but in reality I only want to be a doctor because they look cool on television( grey's anatomy), so I can get attention for my elders, and it has a lot of money. At first everything was cool, in fact I was able to watch a surgeon perform surgery in person, but I did not feel anything- no true excitement or happiness. But now all of my elders( adults ) are saying I have a great personality to be a doctor, but what if I just do not want to be a doctor anymore, I only wanted to be one for the moment not for the long run ! In addition, I stressed out with school work. I totally burnt out, since the tenth grade so I have been having trouble with doing my work, I do not know what to do to boost myself up again. Lastly, I have been stressed out in French, even though I am one of the smartest ones there, so I dropped French for next year but I do not know if it was right to drop it. It is hard to deal with stress when you have no one you can talk about it with, someone who can be unbiased about these things. My mom would be biased, my sister wouldn't care, my dad is not easy to talk to, I do not have friends only associates so I am not comfortable to say anything, my french teacher is apathetic towards me--I am honestly lost, what can I do?
You have to figure out what YOU want to do. Not what everyone else wants you to do. What are you passionate about? What do you do in your free time?It's a lot to think about.
