Answer 1

your still very young; don't be hard on yourself, and the answers will come naturally. Teenage angst.

Answer 2

SPORTS!

Answer 3

Get back into education and achieve good qualifications! [if you have not done so already]. Education and skills are about the only things that will get you far in life in terms of 'success' [good quality of life, stable/successful career, nice house/car etc.] but then again that depends entirely on what factors you interpret as 'success' and getting 'enough out of life' is. The whole 'great career, flash car, big house and settling down with a family' is just the common ideal people aim to achieve. There are just so many ways you can get what you want out of life and be happy without the flash car and high-flying career. You're only 17, you can set you life path in any direction you want with the right amount of determination!

Answer 4

get a job. join a club at school. start exploring around your neighborhood. just dont do drugs

Answer 5

try to find a clic they U feel will more likely accept U and do what they do.

Answer 6

Just start by getting a part time job. Nothing fancy but something to get you out of the house.

Sports is another thing that will help give your life structure. If you are not into sports join a group that you are interest in whether it be politics, activism, chess, charity or whatever.

Also start looking towards college. Take some time to research different colleges. Try to think a little bit about what you are interested in now, it can help as to where you might go to school.

Finally don't despair. Often people who do resort to drugs or other self destructive behavior.

Just believe in yourself and what you can accomplish. The power of projection whether it be positive or negative is all to often ignored.

Also be present by staying in the moment. Take one day one moment at a time and from there you'll see little by little your life start to move till hopefully one day you'll be in a place you've dreamed about.

Answer 7

Answer 9

Start a blog about teen interests: music, movies, myspace, etc...then make money off the advertising. One teen in Michigan is a millionaire now by doing this.  See the article. http://abcnews.go.com/Business/SmallBiz/...

You don't need a car to make money or "have a life" anymore. You can start your own business using the computer you are at right now.  You are not the only bored teen in America. So use what you have to entertain yourself and others and watch the dough roll in!

Answer 10

your being very hard on yourself...you are very young...these things take time, determination...saving...and most importantly a job...but you have to be patient as you probably won't get a job making much...at your age...but set realistic goals for yourself and accomplish one goal at a time...start out small and this will give you a feeling of accomplishment...there are many places that you can get a used car for 1,000 and up...some dealerships that sell used cars are somewhat higher for your monthly payment if you don't have credit established which i'm assuming that you don't due to your age...also some places will use your job as your credit...after you've worked there a year or two...patience is a virtue...and when you earn money and pay for things yourself, you'll obtain a valuable lesson rather then some of your friends that may have had things given to them by their parents...trading times is a good paper where you can find cars pretty cheap

Answer 11

Perhaps you just haven't found your "passion" yet.  You have time to explore different options for your life - to see what might energize you - music, drama, art, dance - lots of possibilities.  In the mean time, why not get involved with some volunteer work.  Put some good into the world - at least then you can feel like your making the world a better place while you're waiting for you "life" to kick in.  And, you might find something to be passionate about in the process.  All the best.
