I am a failer in everything. In love, in Math and in science and In life basically. I feel so depressed. I'm 18 years old. I'm so confused about "What I want to do with my life"?
I just feel scared, what if I become old, days go by with me being a "Low Life". I am such a boring person.

You are not a failure! 18 is a hard confusing point in life, you're old enough to fight for your country and die but not old enough to drink alcohol, yeah how much more strange and confusing can it get than that? You are at a transition point in life. Just live life to the fullest, don't sweat the small stuff. Most people at 18 don't know what they want to do with their lives. The average college student will change their major at least 3 times before graduating. So you are actually normal, congratulations. Find something that you enjoy to do for your career, a career is not worth having if you don't enjoy what you are doing.

First of all, you are not a failure. Just because you are 18 years old and don't know what you want to do with your life does not make you a bad person or a "Low Life". Everyone finds their niche in their own time. Never compare yourself to another person because no two people are the same. You are you and that is what makes you so beautiful and special. You are going to find what you love and you are going to be successful. When I say successful, I don't mean successful in the worlds eyes, I mean in yours. I think success is fulfilling your personal goals and just being happy with where you are in life! I don't think anyone is happy with where they are at 18. There is a lot of pressure to decide where you are going to go and what you are going to be when you grow up... but we all go through it in our own ways. Second of all, you need to go see a therapist. You may just be really depressed. It's not a bad thing, it's just a chemical imbalance in your brain. Just like having a cold or flu... if you treat it, it will go away. Alot more people than you think take medication for some kind of chemical imbalance in their brain. Anyway, hope this helped out a bit and please don't be so down on yourself. Good luck, sweetie.

I can write the book on "pity parties" as I call them. I am almost certain tomorrow and the day after and the day after that will always be brighter. When I say brighter I mean because you will prayerfully wake up, and wake up in your right mind with both feet and eyes to see etc... What I really feel at thus point is only emotions and if we act all the time out of how we feel or our emotions we will always be a wreck. Not only that if someone i telling you that you are a failure 9/10 they are the real failure because they have failed to consider others. A man that has no legs wish he could have the luxury to ride his bike to work when others complain that they have to ride one. Get it. We complain because we do have not because we don't. Cheer up!!! I I know easily said than done. Well at least you have that chance because the person who just died less than a second ago does not have that chance. Just listen there goes another second that passed by ans someone else is gone. DO NOT LET ANOTHER SECOND GO BY AND BE LEFT THE SAME AS BEFORE.
Love Ya
Be blessed!!!!

Dont feel that way. I felt like that for so long and fell into things that was not right for me, and even got suicidal over it. Everyone has to hit the bottom before they come up, you just have to believe that there is light at the end of the tunnel. You are still young yet and you should not know where you want your life to go. I am 24 years old (almost) and I am still tryin to decide what to do, but I have 2 kids now with another on the way. There is always a door that opens, you just have to take your time and realize that you are still young, and you do not have to decide right away what you want out of life. If you ever need to talk, even if it is because you are bored, please instant message me. I am always available at night mostly and on somewhat through the day. sneekygirl69@yahoo.com. Please get ahold of me for anything you need, because I have been there before, and sometimes having someone to talk to helps. I wish you luck and hope I was helpful to you.

Focus on the things you are good at. Not everyone is good at everything. And if you think you are boring, have some fun!! Take charge of what you want and who or how you want to be and be it!!
At 18 not many people know what they want to do in life. Life is life so live it. You don't have to be the most ambitious person in the world to be happy. Just do whatever you like and happiness will come. It is all about being happy in this life.

don't be so hard on yourself you are only 18! Take it easy try to enjoy yourself or something. If there is someone or some place that makes you happy or at ease you need 2 do that. you sound depressed. life is 2 short 2 be so stressed. trust me I know. Life is hard but it is also what we make of it. You have time to figure out what you want to be in life. good luck.

u r not a failer...quit thinking that you are....it's stupid and a waste of time.......think of what ur good at. Math is not for everybody........and god! love? ur 18 yrs. old! u weren't seriously thinking that you were going to fall head over heels in love w/ someone and marry them!?!?!?! (has happened before, but not often) Quit feeling sorry for yourself and live life to the fullest! some people are is more worse situations than you......see the computer in front of you? not everyone has one......like some in Africa......look all around you in the room u are in? (unless you are on a laptop in a car/plane/ etc....u get the idea) people would KILL to be blessed like you....some can't get a education either!!!! be happy that you have what you have......be happy that you are talented and gifted at things.....maybe a career in the math or science field isn't right for you....THAT"S OK!!!!!!!
NOT EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT THEY WANT TO DO WITH THEIR LIFE AT 18!!!!!!!!!

No you are not a failure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! None of us are failures and we are all here for a reason. You are also not a low life or a boring person. Perhaps you need to make some much needed changes in your life and then you will see changes in everything in your life. Take stock in what it is that you are wanting to accomplish, how you need to do this, what things to need to change in order to do it and then set your mind to do it and then do it. We can all make changes if we choose to!!! Now, honey, you get out of those dumps, and start making good grades and good things will start coming your way. God Bless!!!! Remember, you do matter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you need to seek help from a doctor and a thearpist. you have depression. once you are being treated for this you will feel better and your life will get better.
How do I dare make this diganosis without being a doctor. Because What i am asking you to do is perfectly safe, and though it may take time to find the right cure for you in the end everything will be great. please trust me!!!! And don't give up!!!!

Hey," It ain't over till the fat lady sings" If you are seriosly depressed, please go and see your doctor, they can prescribe something for your depression. if you are hearing these things from loved ones, try your hardest to ignore them and find a group of people that can support you, and not put you down. I have been there, I know it is not fun. Just keep you head high, i am sure you are not a "Low Life". Prove them wrong!
