I don't even know how to have fun anymore. I have tis very serious outlook on life. When I was younger I was very disciplined & mature. I stilll am. As a result my parents tend 2 neglect me, b/c they were always busy workin hard. I always felt like I had to prove myself by gettin excellent grades in school, & sometimes I felt like I was not worthy of love or happiness...like I was not good enough. Bein such a serious person & always feelin the need to climb the mountain to get to the top, I would always be workin long &hard, never stoppin to take a break. I kept goin I had the strength. And then when I finally stop there's no one around...they're there but I'm visible to them[my family]. I don't even know what I am workin towards. Well u know, a good career and well-off life. I don't know. When u are so busy workin, you don't think about it. Somehow, I end up feelinglonely even when my family is there. I'm so withdrawn, and serious. I have forgotten how to be a kid, & I'm 16.

I was the same way as you when I was 16. As time went by I managed to find things that amused me, and then found friends who also liked that stuff. Start small, try to find things you can do alone. Then start to incorporate that into bigger things. After a while you should be able to feel like you're having fun, but still remaining within your serious bounds. Time management and setting aside time to do things for yourself might work for you.

I would like to assume that you are still in school. Do something that you have thought that you have had an interest in...like a play, or some sort of sports.
If that doesn't appeal to you I would go to the local craft store and buy a coloring book and come colored pencils and start coloring the pages. Yes it sounds weird but you will be surprised at the frame of mind that it will put you in. Ii have done it quite a few times when I am just feeling the need to be free.
I am sure that you must have some friends or a close friend. Do something with them. Go to a park or something wild that you never would normally think about doing. Don't do anything dangerous, just try to unwind.

I always got more out of GIVING than receiving, so I am thinking how to apply that to your situation and how that might help you out.
What about volunteering somewhere. What about a nursing home to help others. Or maybe a day care place would be good for you. Just volunteer to read to the little ones or play games with them after school. You can color or play Playdough or blocks or outdoor play with them. This would give you the opportunity to "play" as well as to give of yourself to others. I hope you are surprised at how this will let you smile ;more and give your heart and thoughts towards others. That will often bring you a happier heart!

Its a good thing to keep in mind what you are working for.
You could be working very hard, and very long, but that work could be mowing lawns, or cleaning windows - which gets you no where.
Be sure you are climbing up the RIGHT mountain.
And, some kids are very serious, I was when I was a kid....

well, i'm only 14, but i know that if you don't stop working yourself sooo hard you will crack and end up in a mental institution. I'm not kidding it happened to my grandma. it was very heartbreaking and sometimes it might feel like your parents don't care. but the first step to resolving that is to talk to them. Good luck
