Okay I have this problem where I don’t realize things until much LATER. I am very stubborn. Sometimes I can be narrow-minded. I am sensitive. It seems like I have the wrong emotions for everything. I can’t help it though. I don’t want to change myself because of others. Because I am tired of changing for people because it has gotten me nowhere. I hate it. I hate that I am stuck in the past. I hate that I am so negative. I hate that I am pathetic and I am on this website looking for advice while I can not confront my problems myself. Can anyone help me? Please. I am almost seventeen. When am I going to grow up?

It sounds as though you are on the road to self-awareness which is maturity. Your feelings are uncomfortable right now, but, that is normal. My advice is to try to learn to be patient with yourself and then you can be patient with others. You are never going to be "perfect". No one is. You are a unique individual with your own gifts to offer to the world. Sixteen and seventeen does not go on forever. Trust me in this! Good luck. I have a feeling you will become a fine adult.

Such are the pangs,turmoils and pains of Growing up.What you are going through is just normal.Keep faith in your self and talk to clarify as many things as possible with your friends,elders,parents,others,through books,papers or any source BUT do not accept verbatim what you learn or hear.Sit down and think by your self,what should be or could be right or proper.Slowly but surely you shall develop the skills to deal with life situations and progress in a phased manner.Never curse yourself for mistakes except to say that you shall not repeat them .Reward yourself when due.In you I can see the making of a happy human being but do not forget to share and spread it . wish you a happy going.

Hi, a very good year age of 17 ! Your age is the best treasure that you can do many things you like,I mean the good things to yourself, your family / friends, the society etc.... Please try to love yourself much, don't blame a lots for your fault but just try to stop it happen again.
Please don't try to change somebody but just change yourself to meet people . See things on the good side but not the bad , a smile you give out first ,may be a wonderful smile reward to you!
