That's how I feel about my life. Is there anyone else out there like me? It would make me feel a little better......
I'm tired of going to school and working full time. I'm a manager at a retail store and I get shitted on left and right by my psychotic supervisor. I'm tired of losing and gaining weight. I'm tired of trying to get my boyfriend to notice me (he's nice, but doesn't give me that little extra). I'm tired of not liking myself.
I mean, life is good overall and it is what you make it, but right now, I'm frustrated.
I want to change, but I'm afraid. I don't want to leave my boyfriend because I don't want to hurt him, and I still want to be with him. I havent quit my job because of the money (i dont need it but its nice to have) and i'd be letting down my parents and my boyfriend if i did because its a big accomplishment to be 18 and a manager.
SCREW THIS I'M YOUNG I HAVE TO LIVE MY LIFE!!!!! DO WHAT I WANT STOP PUTTING OTHERS BEFORE ME ALL THE TIME

Hey Hon...you answered you question exactly. This is your life and you are letting others persuade you into what they expect of you. You are overwhelmed. Take a break. Right now no one is noticing you which is a let down when your working so hard. As far as I'm concerned, get rid of the boyfriend. If he cant acknowledge you know he wont when your married. As far as the job, keep it so you have the cash but if its affecting your grades and you dont need it, give your notice or ask for a part time position. This is your life and you need to take control of it. Now thats not to say to tell your parents to bug off since they have a life long experience but listen to their advice. You are at a tough time in your life. Being 18 you want to be independent and grab the world but everyone still sees you as a kid w/no experience. The strong survive. We fall to learn to pick ourselves back up again and to become stronger and more determined. The weight issue is like a yo-yo but hormones and being stressed does cause that. Its frustrating I know, but thats being a women and the sooner you accept that the better off you'll be. Just sit back and take a minute to yourself, and regroup your thoughts and set a plan. Think positive. Trust me, someone else out there has it worse and when you hear some of those stories you realize that you have it great. Make sure you keep up on your vitamins. To be malnourished will only cause fatigue and more depression and you'll really lose control of your life. Trust me I have been there. The mind is a great tool, so use it, and have it work for you. Good luck.

You will need to put some effort into it but Look around at your community center or YMCA and see if there are any classes you might be interested in enrolling in, there are so many different wonderful classes. And the best part is you will meet people who have similar interests as you do instead. tell your mom your concerns that you feel you don't get out enough and you are lonely. Tell her you are sad you don't have many friend and think one of these classes would be good for you. Gymnastics, Dance, Sign language, Musical instrument/Singing, yoga, Nature programs (these are usualyl at parks), Art class, Swimming, A forgien language, scouting groups, the sca, sewing, cooking, martial arts, fencing, chess, photography, volunteering, and more. There are so many wonderful things you can do to meet nice people. Keep in mind when you meet nice people in school thats great but there are also a lot of people in school who you won't get along with. Int he real world when you don't get along with someone you have the option to walk away, move, talk to your boss about the problem, etc. you don't have to deal with bad manners, in school you do, and the teachers really don't care. Also just so you know most kids in public school at 13 don't have boyfriends either :P

Hi,
Tell you what?Take a break from your boyfriend and work if you can.See how that goes,if it feels good not to be with your b/friend then talk to him tell him how you feel,he will get hurt sooner or later right now you are hurting yourself because you don't want to hurt anybody else,That is not fair to you and everybody around you.They think you are happy with who you are and what you do.Your parents will always love you no matter what you decide to do..All the best my dear it's not easy but you have to do something you are too young to stress yourself this much..

Before you quit your job, school, and leave your boyfriend think long and hard about the effects it will have on you. Will it make things better or worse?
I agree live your life for you, but life isn't always about us. I think you should talk to your supervisor, your parents and your boyfriend. Most importantly I think that you should talk with God. Only He can really help you find the answers that you are looking for.

I guess the pain you are feeling is just not bad enough yet because you have the answers right there and just won't do it. You say you don't need the job-so why do you stay? You like to be treated like that? And the boyfriend? Time to dump him, too.
When you done those things, then you will have made a step into growing up.

I'm an ARAB, which isnt the best race to be, no need to explain why, and on top of that I'm GAY, I dont think I need to explain why that would suck. Worst combination ever.
