Question

can anyone tell me why? and what i can do to make this feeling go away??

Answer 1

you may be feeling this way because you are reaching a new milestone in your life. there are alot of them in your life. theres turning 10, because your now in the double digit age wise, theres 13 because your now a teenager. theres sweet 16 and drivers license, then theres 18, saying good bye to childhood and entering adulthood. graduating HS, going to college, getting first job or apartment. then there 21, legal age for everything. drinking, signing legal documents, being totally responsible for your life and decisions. things remain quiet for awhile then theres the big 30 and you see where your life has taken you this far, whether your sucessful or not. then 40, kids grown and out of house, being totally responible for nothing more then yourself, you get the drift. dont dread your 18th bday, embrace it as a good thing that we all face. happy birthday

I think that you're feeling that your'e suddnely "an adult". Well you will soon be an adult, but you've still got a little kid in you. I'd milk out this last year of being a kid as much as I could. Relax, your family will still help you out. You are at a point to grow up, but please don't rush it. Relax, and take it easy and celebrate big for your 18th. Remember mine 18th a few years back.

Well I didnt have that problem when I was turning 18 so I cant say what it is but just try and calm down. Your just getting older thats all and your going to be legal but your still not going to be a grown up yet you'll still be a teen so just calm down relax and take a deep breath b/c you still got a ways to go.
