With all respect to your parents, you've got to follow your own dream. Don't be afraid to risk or you will regret it when you are old like me. Phil.
Its normal to feel life less sometimes. Everyone feels that way atleast once in there life. It sounds like you have high hopes for your life and that you should go for it. Do what makes you happy and not what anyone else wants for you. I hope this helps you. =]
your confused because you don't do anything! Stop complaining and go out and do something that makes you feel alive
So you've been hurt in the past, everyone has, but you can't let stuff like that stop you, you've got to let go and start living a life
Its easier said than done, I know but just try something new or do what you want to do
You can be anything you want to be. Your parents may be trying to live the life they wanted through you. You may get hurt taking risks but that's the only way you'll ever succeed. You sound like your just trying to find yourself. Eventually you will and everything will fall into place. Just finish school, and do your best. Good luck, and life will get easier!! Keep your head up!!
We all get confused in life. Thats a part in growing up. I know I am older than you and still get confused. Tell your parent how you feel and talk with them because I am sure they even sometimes have confusion. I know with their age they have wisdom, it may not be in everything but I know they know alot to have lived to the ages they are now. Trust me, the older you get sometimes it seems like life throws us curve balls. Take the next two years to learn new things, see what you enjoy and you wont know if you love it until its worth taking a risk for. Ask your teachers to help you. Then maybe when life throws that curve ball you can hit it and score a home run.
15 seems to be the year, for MOST people, when uncertainity about life hits. That's when it hit me, but not to your extreme. Time will work it out for you and, whatever you do, STAY IN SCHOOL. If you don't want to be a mechanic, your parents will understand, as you prove yourself, if you want to purusue a different profession. They just want you to make enough money to securely support yourself; in their time, journalism, art, theatre, etc, was all considered "frivolous." It's hard, but "bare with them."
your are only confusing yourself kid you have to figure out what you want in your life if you keep it up that way you are gonna have a big problem first figure out the things you like and then the things you dont like then see what really interest you what are yuor goals sometimes kid we have to take risks becuase if we dont we miss out on some fun stuff or you will regret it for ever follow your dreams yuor goals do what yuor heart desires and if my advice wont help then see a psychiatrist .
At age 15, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE CONFUSED! And Scared, and excited, and overwheled, and so hopful at times you think you will Bust.
Normal feels crappy sometimes. You're on the right track! It wont all hapen in a single day. Give yourself the gift of enjoying your process!
give yourself the gift of time.
Always save time for fun. Enjoy your process!
Well considering your only 15 I would say stick to your dreams your parents will relax after awhile and still love you no matter what you decide to do with your life. Make a plan and stick to it. You need to let go of your past hurts and make things better for yourself and become a journalist like you want and who knows you may change your mind and become something else but that is ok, you will find your niche in life regardless of what anyone else wants. You won't be 15 forever. Good luck
Some of what you're experiencing is normal teenage angst. It's very hard to know what you want to do and where you want to be at 15. My advice...do your best in school so you can go to college. If you want to be a journalist, you may have to fight for that right, but in the end the fight will be worth it. When school starts back up in the fall, talk to your English teachers about things you could do to start working toward becoming a journalist. Does your school have a paper or a website? Could you become part of that? Find ways to either shadow a journalist (many professionals will allows students to do that when the student is exploring career possibilities). Perhaps a journalist on your local newspaper would allow you to do this. It would give you a really good idea what the life of a journalist is like.

It all boils down to the fact that you'll have to be proactive in obtaining your dream.
Will you should go for your dream.many [ep[le also have more then one job. Maybe you be a mechanic part time.If you don't follow your dream them later in life you might be kicking yourself.are something could happen that you can't follow your dream then if will be to late.I know I wanting to be a art teacher or math. but I got married, now my health is bad and I have a job helping people solve they problems and working part time at a cousing center but I want to do more with my life. I enjoy my job but I wish I had more to do. I wish I follow my dreams, but I still have dreams to be able to work more.sometimes dreams change.about your mom. she would want you to follow.talk to her follow your dream
Oh my Gosh I know you hate to hear this but U are SO young. Take this from some1 twice your age: what you're feeling is totally normal. It's good to think about your future but not healthy to obsess over it.
Parents sometimes like to correct their mistakes through their children. Stand your ground with them on what you want to do for a career: after it is YOUR life not theirs.
its normal to be confused. but you could see a councellor if its really bothering you. my parents wanted me to take a really traditional path so i know how hard it is to convince them otherwise. and i wasted 2 years of uni doing the wrong subject. anyway. about the german exchange, thats good but do you speak german well? you will have to study history, literature.etc..in german- ( i knew 2 german exchange students and they found it v.difficult in english -they were 16..but thats not always the case ) maybe a summer language programme/ camp would be fun? and it would prepare you .plus you can get away from your parents that way ; )
If germany is your dream darling I say go for it. You are only 15 and I am twice your age and I get confused alot too. Thats just a part of life. Its going to happen off and on. But don't let that stop you from living. Your parents aren't going to change and they can't live your life. You have to call your own shots! Take heap of advice from people and listen but in the end you make the final decision. Everyday is a new experience for you. Every year that you get older is a new experience for you too. Do what makes you happy. Go hang with your friends and enjoy being a teenager. I would do anything to get those years back. Life gets harder and harder but its what you do in it and with your life that counts. Like they say LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST LIKE IT IS YOUR LAST. You will know what you want to do when the time is right. Until then get out and go do something. Don't mope around your room and be all depressed and sad. Just thank God you are still living and breathing and that you can feel the way you do. Good luck sweetheart! You are going to be just fine.
I feel life less all the time...i don't know what to do..i do not do anything...i wait for time to tell...and i regret not doing anything...
I understand the difficulty of trying to please everyone else, but you have to do what you are going to be happy with in your life. If being a mechanic is not what you plan for yourself then don't do it. If you are setting a goal for yourself to be a journalist then go for it. I am sure that you parents will be proud of you either way
Welcome to LIFE! Of course you feel life less, you are only 15! EVERYONE at your age should be testing their boundaries, it is normal.
