ok, I'm turning 18 in March. I don't know what to do with myself. I feel like a piece of crap. When I was 8 years old, I knew what I wanted to be. I wanted to be a movie star. I took an acting class during my Freshman year of High School. I found out that I have stage fright. I kept forgetting my lines and my voice was too deep. So Ive decided that acting wasn't for me. But since then, I've been feeling bad about myself. I'm very interested in movies. Have been since I was like 5 years old. I grew up watching movies. I like to collect movies. It's my hobby. I like to read about movies. Got hundreds of books on movies/movie stars. I know a lot about the subject. I'm also a fan of the 1950's. I like old cars, '50s movies, '50s and '60s music. I dress like I'm Rockabilly. Some people at school call me the Fonz because of the way I dress. The Goth kids think I'm cool, but the Hip-Hoppers hate me.
Right now, I'm aimless in life. Not sure what to do with myself or what I am.

Relax!!!
Research any and everything you have an interest in.You don't have to choose just one path for yourself. The more pressure you put on yourself the harder things will become.

Welcome to being 18. It gets better around 21 when you actually learn a few things about life.
If your passion is acting or the movies, find something to do in acting or the movies. Maybe backstage work? Script writing? Production?
You could also branch out into other realms. Who knows what you will become.

Why not become a film critic? You may find the link below interesting. From what I can gather, it may be possible to work from home via the Internet. Whatever you end up doing, good luck with it.

Does it help you to know that the majority of people your age go through the same exact thing? you're not alone
Eventually, like most people, you will find something you would like to pursue.
There are many other careers in the movie field other than actors.
Have you thought about production, set design, special effects, etc...
