I'm sixteen. It's junior year, and it's time to get cracking on looking for colleges and everything. I'm so upset because I feel like I will never ever be happy, or good enough for myself. I try so hard. I am lazy and unmotivated, and lately I've been getting yelled at by my parents. "You're sixteen, you should know how to do this!" It really upsets me because I feel so let down and stupid. I'm sixteen and I don't know how to do certain things. My parents have never taught me to be independent, and not that I'm putting the blame on them, but when I was a kid, they babied me, and now that I'm grown, I know nothing. They barely talk to me about this stuff, and I'm so scared of amounting to nothing when I go out into the real world. I make decent grades, but they're not good enough for my parents. I try my best, but I constantly feel like shit all the time. Any advice?

I like to call this the bird's nest syndrome. I went through and I'm still going through it at this point. It's almost as if you have been in this nest for your whole life and you haven't gone anywhere but stayed din the nest. Now your parents want you to get up and fly the funny thing is, is that they never taught you. I feel the same way with my parents. What I realized is that I needed to start doing things myself and take responsibility for myself. It stinks but that's the only true way to handle it and it maybe hard but you will get through it. Get the support of your friends and do the best you can. If you need help talk to maybe your parents, a guidance counselor, or maybe a teacher at school. Good luck!
