Question

i have every thing a girl wants except someone who understands me and that's the one thing i want
with no one there to understand me i think it's no fun living

Answer 1

Ally, you are demonstrating remarkable insight just by asking the question. Learn to love yourself, to honor yourself as the truly great and wonderful person you are. Acknowledge yourself. You are special. You don't "need" anyone in your life...you are already the most important person in your life. AS you grow to understand yourself, others will begin to recognize you. Believe me, you are not alone. All of us feel misunderstood, lonely, and unappreciated. But as we begin to understand and love ourselves, we gain confidence that we are really special. Honor yourself, Ally, and you have a friend for life.

Answer 2

Life at 17 was so screwed up for me also. It is a time of change,you are becoming an adult. I don't know your circumstances,but things will get better. I was doing all this experimenting with drugs and drinking trying to find a place that worked for me,not the way to go,even tried suicide,unsuccessfully thank goodness.

At this juncture in your young life,you have so much pressure,friends,school,family,your on wants and needs that you are pulled in too many directions.You need to step out of the picture a little,and look at what you want to do,and accomplish in life,don't let someone else enflunce you,you will always regret not doing what you wanted to do.I am being long winded here,but it all boils down to this,be yourself,you may piss some folks off,but as you get older and look back,make sure there is nothing you would change about your life.

Answer 3

If you only knew how lucky you are to be so young and to have your whole life ahead of you.I'm sure you are sick of hearing that but it is so true!!!!! You have so many things to experience and so much to look forward to that you haven't experienced yet. Look ahead with hope and dreams, not back. It is about to be a new year to start with a clean slate and we never know what the future holds for us. It is a difficult thing to learn to enjoy being alone but it is something we all need to learn. There are people who understand you more than you realize. Believeme, life is worth living. Each new day brings new things to learn and experience. Enjoy being young, healthy and alive!

Answer 4

You have been honest. Most 17 year old seek affirmation of their feelings. You are looking at the glass as being 1/2 empty when it is actually 1/2 full. Yes most of us understand you and so does your parents. Remember this no one will ever care more for your well being than your parents. I also understand that at 17 life seem difficult I do want to tell you this it is really the best time of your life and please please take time to enjoy it. so when troubles come and they will because they come to all of us but when they do realize that this to will pass.

Answer 5

Well so....young and so.... alone. The secret of life lies in relationships. These relationships must first start with our families. You are at a difficult time in your life, I have a eighteen year old daughter and know how difficult things can be at this point in your life. Seek the comfort of your mother, father, brothers or sisters. All else will just be a matter of time. Be patient, as the old saying goes "time heals all." When you are feeling bad find someway to focus your energies. I would suggest music is a great way to escape. I play my guitar when I am happy, when I am mad, and when I am sad! The process of focusing your self energies in this way free your soul and provide new purpose to your existence. Try it.... or anything else that demands your focus and attention. Anything that requires the attention of your mind. Math is a beautiful thing, the magic of numbers can be challenging and wonderfully enlightening. Devote yourself to whatever endevor you choose but do it with foucs. All else will follow. As noted everything else will solve itself if you just give it time. Peace be with you my dear!

Answer 6

You need to understand you, the fact you have everything a girl wants and no one to share the fun of it , is evidence that you have been preoccupied with material things. You need to step away from that (Prince William did for a reality check) and start a good relationship with yourself. Try teaching someone how to read, or deliver meals to shut ins. Do things that make you feel proud of yourself and you'll never be lonely.

Answer 7

You young lady are spoiled--No offense --I am not slamming you--but if you have everything you want?? No wonder you feel that way--Do both your parents work allot?? and are you on your own allot?? Its a sad fact of life that some teens are bought off--parents try and fill your life with stuff instead of what you need most and that warm bodies to call a family--Sit down and figure out some family time--and be serious when you talk to your folks about it--Even if its pizza/movie night--anything to get the communication open again--You need to tell them whats going on in your life at school and otherwise too--and they need to talk to you about theirs--
the only thing that bothers me about my answer is this---what is it that nobody understands??? What deep dark secrets do you have?? Or what lifestyle do you live that makes people go HUMMM---Do you want to shine some light on this???And maybe someone can help you further
Take care and know this there is plenty of people who will understand you when you give them the clues on how to do this :-)

Answer 8

Wait a minute--is that all you think about all day? Don't you think other people have it worse than you. OH boo hoo---how pathetic...go take a walk and look at a person without legs, or blind, or something really to be sad about. You better get off the pot, get a job, or a hobby and meet new friends. I understand you--doesn't that help? I understand that you need to shape up and get going---for a 17 year old, you have a low esteem issue--get going and meet a nice guy.

Answer 9

Don't worry so, dear. I thought the same thing at 17 but life has things in store for you in the future. Don't give up hope! Wait, be patient and wonderful things will happen to you in the future. You have to give yourself a chance to live. 17 is so young.

Answer 10

find activities that you enjoy
groups that have both genders envolved
if there isn't anything around you start something

17 is a hard age -- too young to do somethings and too old to do others

reach out to others that have less than you i.e. volunteer at say, a homeless shelther, old age home,

put yourself out there to befriend those who don't have any friends

talk to your parents, siblings, other relatives -- you may think that there isn't anybody out there, but I am sure you will be surprised just how many people want you in their lives and that you have a special place in their heart
