I'm 17 but I will be 18 in december. Thats only a few months away and everyone around me is making it known. Everytime I turn around I hear "You're going to be 18 soon, do this that and the other thing" and I'm like "Whoa, I wasn't ding that 6 months ago, you didn't teach me how to do that and now I'm supposed to figure it out for myself?" I don't feel like I was prepared for some of the things that come wih adulthood and now a few months before my 18th brithday everyone just expects me to just go out and do it. Push me into the lakeeven though I don't know how to swim. I'm the baby in the family and everything was always done for me but now peole are suddenly telling me i have to do these things for myself, It's freaking me out, i'm literally having panic attacks thinking about it. Also adding to my most likely unnecessary stress is the fact that when I tell my mom about these attacks she laughs it off and tells me "It's not like i'm going to throw oyu out the day you turn 18" but
