Im 19 and i feel like i dont fit in with most people my age, they are all looking to always jsut drink or smoke or do stupid things like that instead of something productive and fun. Most do not read books or enjoy actual music, only read magazines and listen to pop muisc. i try to be openminded about simplistic ideals such as these but i dont have alot of paitience and understanding for this.
so now i dont have many friends what do i do?

I'm 20 and I feel a lot like you do sometimes. The fact is that some people when they get out of highschool aren't as quick to grow up and leave the childish highschool stuff behind, whereas others are. Many people find that they meet people that are more goal oriented as they are in college, because people are in college because they want to be something in life. Maybe you are just surrounded by a lot of people who are basically losers, it has nothing to do with age really, you will find people like that at every age.

I think it's the group of young folk you're forced to be with. When I was 19, it was all about books, real music, making a difference and fun.
So, find a group of like minded people, even if they're 30.

I went throught that for years myself.
All my friends were older, cecause I did not get along with most people my age. In time you will notice people in your age bracket that do not seem to be like the rest of them and you will have friends more closer to your own age.
For now see if you can find a different place to meet people your age and go from there.
Good Luck.

Find a different group of friends. Hang out at the bookstore or church. Find someone with more interests than the next party and you will both be happier. Good Luck!

If you can't beat them join them. Sometimes one must act there age because in the future you might regret it. If you want to act like your fifty then when you are fifty you will probably have a mid life crises.

You don't fit in because you're destined for something better than most of your peers. Don't let it get you down, it's a blessing.
