Answer 1

OK, take a deep breath.

What you are feeling is really pretty normal for a 17 yr. old.

Almost no one really knows at 17 what direction their life is going to take. You can declare a major, then change if you want to, or just get a general degree, like in business.

I am a grown adult, and I feel like this sometimes.

As for SAT's, you can retake it.
Have you been to the SAT prep classes? If not, ask your parents to send you to one.

Talk to your parents about how you are feeling. Let them know you need to feel like they support you. They may not realize how much pressure you are feeling.

Good luck, and just remember, this too shall pass.

Have a merry Christmas. Things will get better.

Answer 2

Your not in as much trouble as you may think.

I remember feeling the same way when I was your age. You are not stupid. Taking sat tests are stressful and it can make it difficult to do well on them.

I'm sorry that your parents are not supportive. That can be a real bummer. Just remember how this made you feel and treat your kids different.

I had a similar situation when I was young and I swore that I would never treat my kids the way that I was treated.

I tell my son all the time that I feel like the luckiest dad in the world to have a son like him. I wish that I could help your parents to understand how lucky they are to have you.

Perhaps the best I can do is to help you to understand that you can stop the foolishness and treat your kids the way they deserve to be treated.

You are a good kid. Be strong and know that your parents are lucky to have you for a son. Even if they are not able to tell you themselves.

Take care, be strong. It gets better, don't be afraid.

Trust me, I have been there, AND done that.

Answer 3

I can understand what you are saying. I don't know you exact situation but it sounds like you are in a trying ordeal. At 17 all you can do is the best you can and remember that you won't be 17 forever. I am old and I was very overbearing at one time on not only my children but just about anyone in my life. I don't think what you are sharing is as much you as it is them. I mean that with sincerity, because at some level they think they are helping. In some ways they are but it is hard to see.

Practice breaking your day down into small pieces. Just live in the moment. You don't have to know what your major is at this point. Take classes you know you will need. You will get some direction very soon so don't let yourself get all weirded out on that.

As far as your parents are concerned remember they are human and make mistakes. You don't have to like anything but at your age you don't have much of a choice, but in due time you will have a lot more choices. So hang in there and remember you and about a zillion other people are in the same predicament, so don't think you are the only one. I know it feels that way but it's not.

Peace and Blessings.

Answer 4

Please don't feel bad about yourself. I don't know you but I'm sure you have gifts and talents that you may or may not have discovered yet. Don't stress out over SAT scores because life is more important than a standardized test, and your SAT score is not a reflection of who you really are as a person. Seventeen is a tough age and I remember having similar feelings to what you have described. Five years later, I have figured out what I want to do with my life, and have changed a lot and grown as a person. Trust me, things will get better, and suicide is definitely not an answer. What you said about the glass maze suggests that you are really afraid about your future, and that you feel lost but that somehow everything is clear to everyone else but you. That was very symbolic. Please try to get through this as better things are in store for you even though it's hard right now. Also, please feel free to email me.

Answer 5

You are NOT a nobody.I felt the same way that you do about your parents.My parents didnt care enough about my grades to make me do better.
You see the need for an education, go to a community college for the first 22 yrs.They are NOTHING like High school they care and will help you learn, then you can transfer to a University son.
However I want you to know that JESUS loves whether anyone else does or not, and in the end thats ALL that matters in the end, and whether or not you love HIM.
Read John 3:1-17 and Acts 2:38 this will tell you how to get closer to HIM.Visit church sometime, the United Pentecostal churches are great, and if it hadnt been for the LORD, I wmight not be here today!

Answer 6

You are not alone in feeling like this. Every teen feels this way around this age. Trust me. I'm 15. Don't worry about it. Calm down. Relax. If we didn't want to hear about your problems we wouldn't click on the question. I hope your christmas turns out good, too. Just remember that this is a part of life and it will pass soon enough.
Merry Christmas, my friend. =]

Answer 7

aww, honey, things are gonna be ok. lots of people don't know what they want to with their lives when they are teens. u will figure it out in time. i went to school for computers but ended up working in a totally different field. so u never know what life has in store for u. things will fall into place soon. all teenagers go through depression and low self esteem so ur not alone. i remember i went through the same thing. and i made it through. cheer up sweetie u r not stupid. there are some teenagers that have already dropped out of high school for stupid reasons. u ARE smart. ur still in school and u do care about ur future. thats a step in the right direction!

Answer 8

Don't worry what other people think. If your college and major aren't to your liking change them. Try taking classes you think sound fun or interesting even if they may not be part of your major curriculae. You are young. You have plenty of time to find what interests you. You need to have the faith in yourself, never mind if others do or don't, that you will find out what has meaning for you in your life. Explore life and don't stress. You'll find out who you are. Just look.

Answer 9

If your looking for approval from someone else to make you feel better, then your going to be depressed all your life. Try making yourself happy before anyone else.Because when you do, you can look back and tell yourself, your the one who did it. The whole world is full of judgmental people. Just remember when you finally reach your goal, don't forget to help someone else that is going through the life you had.

Answer 10

if a girl/woman asks you for space, the last thing she expects is for you to actually give her it. so if you give her some space in the first place, then i believe she will come to respect you and in turn love you more. sometimes being without someone for a while, or in this case a bit distant, makes the relationship 10 times stronger, especially when thats exactly what one of the two people wants
