the pressure my future brings..
UGH. I have never felt so stressed. Everyone is so pissy. I'm in my 3rd year of high school, prime of my youth. But instead i toss and turn about what i need to do, what classes i need to take. My marks have been going down because of this. I haven't always been a perfect 90 student but i have never been as low as i am now. Packed on with this i got a job. i love it and the people i work with are amazing but the stress is killing me. At this point all i want to do is fool around and kick back a little. Only every time i do i take 30 steps back. How can i plan my future worry about friends, family, money, my grades, extracurriculars, university, a job. I mean how! i know i can do this. I just get so bummed out i don't have the courage too. You know?

Woah! Steady there. Your post is just going 'woosh' over me and getting ME stressed! You're trying to live your life in one day here mate, no wonder you're wound-up. Try not to predict and second-guess future events. Take each challenge as it comes, when it comes. Judge each on its merits, prioritise them. A little pressure is a good thing, it makes us raise our game, sharpens our senses. But piling on the pressure repeatedly causes stress, and that's no good for anything. Set aside a bit of 'me time' regularly and try to forget about the scary future stretching out in front of you. And enjoy your youth. True, adult life is a lot more daunting than those care-free childhood days. But it's not 60 years or so of unrelenting pressure & misery you know! Doubting you're on the right path and fearing you won't come up to scratch are a pretty stong sign that you ARE on the right track, and you WILL make the grade. Why? Because it proves you DO give a damn...if you did't none of this would worry you much would it?? The kick-back? That's just like the pendulum on an old-fashioned clock. The further you push it one way, the further it'll swing back in the opposite direction when you let it go. Law of nature, law of human nature. Expect it, and don't let it phase you. Relax. You're doing better than you think you are!
