For those of who had terrible teen years?

Question

did you find college was better for you? I'm 16 and it's a shame to say that i feel like the world is out to get me. nothing, i mean nothing has gone right. i'm not living the typical teenager life. my friend kasey ruined my friendship with my best friend since kindergarten maria. she felt threatened that me and maria were closer so she decided to hold maria hostage in her house and wouldn't allow me to come over. mature, right?

now i have one friend who is too into her studies to ever hang out. this girl kasey is on top, as always, with all the friends in the world enjoying life while i sit home.

i'm eager to go to college.. i have one more year left of dealing with immature girls. i'll be 17 in october and i'm the youngest of the grade yet i feel more mature than everyone else. i would never deliberately go out of my way to hurt someone. i don't understand why every teenage girl is so cruel. i never caused problems and i went with the flow of things. i don't deserve this because i always treat people with respect.

why am i loosing hope? my mother feels so bad for me that i had terrible teen years, one bad friendship after the other. i feel like i'm letting her down because she only wants me to be happy and she knows i am by no means happy.

i feel like such a dissappointment because it's not even like i have outstanding grades. i have As and Bs and now a days colleges are so competetive. not to mention, i failed my SATs. i can't even be proud of nothing in my life. i let my parents down and most importantly myself.

Answer 1

Wow.

im 18, and let me tell you it gets better.

My parents, well my mom was always like whatever do what you think is right and like she didnt care. i did everything on my own. one day i woke up, backed away from my everyone and decided i had to live for me.Upon doing so everything just fell into my hands. I was living the way others wanted, i was basing my decisions and actions on what others said and did. you have to live for you. it will make things so much better. And so what if you messed up a few times..try again. College is great. you meet many ppl that may last just for a season, may come into your life for a reason, or may be there a lifetime.

good luck.

stay strong

Answer 2

Maybe you just need someone to talk to?  

Answer 3

just stay positive. and make new friends, start with small talk and before you know it a friendship will bloom. unfortunatley for me my dark ages started when i was in 5th grade. im in 9th now but i got over that in 7th grade by thinking positve and making new friends. just don;t give up. if you do youll go nowhere. Good luck :)

Answer 4

well, i think that before you can make any other friends you need to make some changes. retake your SATS and focus more on your studies. i mean, if you dont have any real friends anyway then its not like you have anything better to do. BUT whatever happened with your friends you should try to work out. i bet that they would understand if you just sit them down and talk to them. and also, nice friend potential friends are everywhere! just be nice to people and you will get more friends. it really is that simple!
