First of all, I have no idea what your question is. However I asked my mom when I was a teenager if I had to be a different person when I became an adult. Her answer was that I can still be the same person if so wanted to. When i was a teenager I was concerned that being "grown up" would be boring and over-whelming and no fun at all. I was wrong.
Being an adult and having independence is not as horrible as it may seem. It can be a wonderful experience for many. Your life is what you make of it. It may take time to find a job or career that you truly enjoy. You will be in charge of your own life and choose where you want to live, and what you want to do.
I'm very happy with being out on my own and I would not want to move back in with my parents. I have a happy and healthy life with a wonderful job and a cool car along with my own apartment and I'm married. I had to work for it and I'm proud to see what my personal achievements have been.

Happy 17th. I was in the same situation as you two years ago. The horrid gloom of commuting to work every day and never having enough free time and money after paying all the bills. This changed just over a year ago. Check the Business out below, you can work from home full or part time. I currently earn x4 my previous annual salary and it is growing every week. www.freedom.ws/jamesking76 let me know what you think.

You have so much ahead to look forward to. I remember when I turned 17 wow, that seems like so long ago. I have had so many great and wonderful experiences since then. Bills and work make up such a small number of my memories. You have so many lessons and experiences ahead. Don't focus on the negative stuff. Adulthood is a whole new adventure filled with an abundant of challenges. Technically your childhood won't end until your 18th birthday, so you can savor this last year. Oh yeah and happy birthday!

Whats wrong with that? I am 29 years old I have always worked full time and the only bills I have is for my rent and utilities . I also have plenty of money in the bank. thats all because when I was 17 or 18 or even in my early 20's I saved everything I had and didn't go out partying all the time and putting myself in debt. Now I am older and wiser and have plenty of money to go out an party. When everyone else is broke because they never saved money or got themselves in debt I can still go out and do the fun things all because I had self control whenI was younger. Maybe one thing you should do while you are so young is go to school because you are really not even asking a question you are just telling us your childhood is gone then putting a question mark on the end. So you made a statement you didn't ask a question. Go back to school to learn the difference before you put yourself in debt.

No, no, no! That's you're 18th birthday! You have a year left to go!
That's the problem with you naughty boys though. You have a happy childhood and then an annoying adulthood. Really it should be the other way around! Putting all your eggs in one basket like that wasn't the best idea because adulthood has the potential of being far more fun as long as you can cope with bills and work without whining too much.

Is this a question? I assume you're asking us if there are any alternatives to being miserable at a full time job as opposed to the care-free days of living off your parent(s)?
Here is my advice. Stop thinking of the world as a place of "lack" and start seeing it as a place of "plenty." There is more out there for you than you can possibly imagine, and if you want it badly enough, you'll find away. If not, you'll find an excuse, just like the vast majority of people who see life as nothing but gloom, work and bills.
All you need to do is figure out what you want, what makes you happy, and then DO what makes you happy to get what you want. 99.9% of the people I've met can't even figure out what they want, let alone what makes them happy.
You could try reading the book Zen and the Art of Making a Living. It might help you avoid a life of gloom and misery.
Good luck!

No way.
Looking back, I suppose I had a good childhood, but I never really enjoyed it that much. I could never do the things that adults did and never had any money.
I actually think it's hard to be a kid these days. As an adult, you can drive a car, have your own place to live, go out to bars, date beautiful women, travel where you please, work hard and move from job to job, and have money in your wallet.
The best is yet to come!

ppl say its a tough and unfair world but you decide wh@ ur life should be like. if u look at it as disappointment then i guess you'll always find disappointment but smile n think abt how you can make memories for when you st in front of the fire place all grey and wrinkly. you'd think back and say what if i had a different approach to life then life would hav been good wiv me. ppl around us make our lives. u just need to show them that you like them. i guess time passes quickly but life's life. gotta accept it. n the more n quicker u understand that the quicker you'll get used to it. and don't worry think about the children who lost their childhood and became adults at the age of 7 even younger. take care.

Your childhood may be gone, but your youth can go on for quite some time to come.
There's something to be said for being the one pays the electric bill and decides which lights can be left on for how long.

It's really not that bad. Well it is at first, trying to get on your feet. I'm only 22 and I'm married and in a very stable non-bill-controlled life style. You will see it's a great feeling of accomplishment! Good Luck Hon!
