I’m 17 and freaked out about life.?

Just you………and 95% of everyone else about your age. I bet that the only people telling you that you should know what you want to do, are people that don’t have to make that decision.

Just sit back for a while and have a think, and I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.

Don’t worry, I was 14 when I started freaking out about life. I just graduated from middle school and then…BAM…..high school. I told myself, “this is where all the colleges look at, this is what determines my future!” During Career and Life Planning class, I didn’t know what I wanted to be.

But when summer rolled along, I got real. There’s lots of time to decide what you want to be. Panicking and rushing into things will only make things worse.

You’re 17. You have lots of time to pave your future. Take part in volunteer/extra-curricular activities to see what interests you. Talk with your parents. Take tests on the web to see what you’re most interested in. Look back and try to find out what you liked to do when you were younger.

Don’t worry, if you take your time to find your true passion and you do well in college, I’m sure you’ll be successful in whatever you do.

Remember, everything happens for a reason.

As Joshua J. Marine once said:

“Challenges are what makes life interesting; overcoming then is what makes life meaningful.”

Good Luck!

Hey, just dont keep worrying about that. I was just like you a few years back. Just relax.

1. All that you have to do is spot your area of interest first.

2. Then try deciding on to what extent you can study ie. are you really good at studies, or average or poor.

Remember Engineering and medical are not the only options you have, there is a vast field of studies waiting for you. You a have a very large window of oppurtunities in any field you choose.

3. Once you have decided on what your interest lies in and you should obviously be knowing how well you are at studies, just try to think of some field where you think you can excel.

4. Make a list of those fields. It could even be something like becoming a pilot, or in the research area, or fashion designer, an artist, a teacher…….. so many fields.

5. then slowly try to conclude which of them will suit you the best.

Thats it. Its actually simple.

Hope this helps you out.

But also remeber not to take this issue too much to the head and spoil your studies cause this is the crucial time of your life.

ALL THE BEST

oh, honey, everyone goes through that… junior year is when that kind of gets straightened out for a lot of people, but you don’t honestly have to know until way later.

if you want to go to college, but you’re not sure what you want to do, just relax. you don’t have to pick a for sure major until about junior year, and you can change as many times as you want. my mom changed her major 10 times!

if you want to work after school, just find a job you like when the time comes.

for a lot of people, they need to take a year off to just work after high school. that’s what i did, and i’m going back this year with a clear plan in mind. it’s a great idea, and it shows you what you might like to do.

most of all, don’t listen to other people’s opinions too seriously. you have to make these decisions, not your parents or your friends or your advisors at school. this is on your shoulders, and you have the freedom to do whatever you want with your life!

you’re still young. high school will fly by, so enjoy it while you can! once you hit the real world, things get sticky… just make sure you stay on top of things like grades to give you the most freedom to either go to school or get a job when you’re done.

Just relax your in your junior year now you still have plenty of time to figure out what you want to do there are people that are 30 years old and are still fugureing out what they want to do with there lives you don’t have to know today just concentrate on having fun jnior year join some clubs maybe you’ll find your passion

No you are not the only one who deals with this. Just relax and take a step back. Look at the classes you are taking this year. These should tell you something about your interests. Find your greatest interest and pursue it by taking more classes that help that interest eventually turn into a job opp. Just relax and make sure you dont do anything stupid. oh and take a look at some colleges while your at it. Heck maybe even the military.

No one REALLY knows what they want to do.. Just don’t waste time stressing over it.. Enjoy the rest of hs.. visit lots of colleges.. you can figure out a major once you get to the school that fits your best.

it’s fine i’m going through the same thing it’s fine, i’m not sure what i want to do but i’m taking different kinds of electives and seeing what i like to do, expirementing…

mount your site ,and aim at the dollar signs along the way ahead !
