Where should I start, well i'm like the "average teenager" I make A's amd B's, I live in middle class america, i have good friends and family members, I'm involved in all kind of activities, i don't smoke, drink or pacipate in sexual adventures and i'm like the nicest person you could ever meet. But sometimes I feel barren. I feel like I'm searching for something or something's missing. I only have that feeling sometimes. I'm not depressed or anything but
I wanna know whats missing. I mean I have everything so why am I feeling this way. I'm my family i'm like the "average one". I have the older sister whom everybody think is perfect but they don't know her after dark. I have the college brother with the baby and another big sister who's 90 pounds and just absorbs money. Maybe I feel inferior to them but I really don't care what people think of me. I'm the laid back goofy kid I guess and nothing bothers me but this , unexplainable burden, pleads help!

Sounds like you are the only one in the family with her stuff together! Being goofy is just fine! Be your genuine authentic self, because you won't be happy wearing a succession of masks to make other people happy. Nobody can make you feel inferior without your permission.

Okay... we all feel separated and tend to start searching. Your siblings tried searching for themselves the other way around, so all you see is them being needy and shopping to fill the void. Basically, what we really search for is our true selves and our connection to God, and how to strengthen that connection.
You do that by turning within each day.

See if there is a class on meditation in your area. Prayer is when you talk to God, and meditation is when God talks to you.
Start reading books abut spirituality (as opposed to religion).

It is perfectly normal to feel lost and barren. The mind sometimes can work in very mysterious ways that we cannot even understand. Try doing things that make you happy. Just be happy and be thankful. You sound like you have a good life, but you are looking for adventure. Are you bored. I figure that that is the biggest reason. Yes, you are an average teenager, with an average family, with average friends but are you bored with your life? Do you want something different than what comes your way? If so, ask your parents if you can go live with one of your other family members for a while. Try to discover who you are. Be intact with yourself. Do the things that you like doing. Do everything that makes you happy. Have fun with everything that makes you, you. Life is way to short to be un-happy or sad. You have to enjoy the time you have as a human being. You can also write in a diary to express yourself. Diaries always help because it is like telling all your feelings and secrets to a friend that will never give them away. Just have fun and know who you are. Good Luck.

Find something new to do like a hobby.
You are the youngest one and that is why you feel inferior.
They are all having issues and you don't really want to be like them do you?
Do something different and get involved.
Like volunteering. Find a group that helps others like Habitat For Humanity or a Food Pantry and help them with their tasks. It always makes people feel better to help those who are less fortunate.

All of humanity has a deep longing for God.

What you are missing is God!!!!

Find a church, pray ask God to help you, take Jesus into your heart. Once you take Him into your heart you will never feel empty again.

You were created for a purpose and that purpose is to praise and worship God Almighty, the God of Abraham Issac and Jacob, the Living God.

Jesus is waiting. Give Him a try. He loves you.

Get a hobby. Find something interesting. Like it and have confident and move on. Sorry if I'm not writing as much as some people.

And let loose. (Responsibly....)
