Answer 1

I think that maybe you should join a club or volunteer locally and that way your getting to do something new while helping others and meeting new people. It would also just be a change of people and quite interesting.

Answer 2

I am in a similar situation (and age too). If you don't want to read the rest of this, than at least read this next sentence. IT HAPPENS. Throughout your life you will always go through ebbs and flows in your emotion. Sometimes you will feel on top of the world and sometimes you will feel like cow crap. It's normal.

Here is another perspective I have come across in my thoughts. I blame society. You get stuck in this normal routine and feel like you can't talk to anybody about it or get out, and your can visualize your entire life in front of your face. Unfortunately I'm not entirely sure in how to get out of it. I've thought about running away, but in a sense thats just giving into society also. I am seriously considering transferring to another school, and moving really far away just to see if I feel any different. Experiment I guess. Be nonconformist! I've also found comfort within myself, philosophizing and reading and learning new things. I think one of the best things to do is get other peoples opinion (which is what you are doing ) and just keep philosophizing, keep asking questions. So now this kind of sounds irrelevant but if it doesn't help then forget about it. What I am trying to say is that the brain is capable of a lot, don't give up.

At least thats what keeps me from jumping off of a bridge.

Answer 3

if your grades are that great, and if you have so many opportunities, remember that those do not just disappear. They may change in shape, or time, but you have earned your way down the red carpet.
perhaps, you can continue your studies by studying abroad, be spontaneous. Back pack through Europe. Go to NYC and take classes at the New School for art, acting, whatever.
If the boyfriend is for you , he will encourage your efforts. If he does not support your need to find your individuality, he hasn't left his own back yard and is holding you down,
You must trust me here....parents get over your need to self discover, they will eventually puff up with great pride when they are able to tell friends and coworkers all about your endeavors.
Don't be trapped. Find your own road, but leave the bread crumbs, just in case you need to find your way back home.
Good Luck and Go For It!

Answer 4

It's easy to feel tripped in high school. The school years seems so long and even when a new years starts, many of the people are still the same. Once high school is over things really speed up. Especially if you go to college. Until then you could try a new hobby, or even talk to some people at school you haven't talked to before

Answer 5

Well something must be happening out of the blue sometimes, maybe if you're tired of everything goes very well-planned, try something like the guys in Wild Hogs did (LOL). Just you (alone or with ur bf maybe?) and the road. Maybe you can drive somewhere you don't know, but don't bring any map so just let it be and let the road (and your vehicle) takes you anywhere. It should be a great life-changing experience I think. (Besides, you and your bf can get to know each other even better than before LOL)

Answer 6

Young Amber!While you are 16, make the very most of that age.So you and your boy friend take the first Greyhound Bus and go to a nearby city or town you haven't visited before. Walk around, Talk to people , Have lunch, See who were heros and get the second or third bus back. You will learn the history of your state, get to know the timber of the people and get " street smarts" on life.

Answer 7

Sounds like you are living a life that isn't for you! Do what you want to do with your life...not what everyone else wants you to do....find some excitement somewhere, anywhere....but be careful. I joined a bowling and pool league....met a lot of nice people and a lot of weird ones. Try different things, might sound stupid, but take a different route to work or to school...never know what you might get into...lol.
Think about what you might enjoy outside of work and school and family...something that you have always wanted to do...but never did...I always wanted to go bunji jumping....I finally did it ....so free. Find the free in you...good luck.

Answer 8

Life is just a bowl of cherries. Sometimes, taking chances provides great rewards. I have always enjoyed the results happening from the chances I've taken. So, ya know, maybe you can consider the alternatives, and take time to just let serendipity be your provider.

Answer 9

How about try a new adventure, you could go on vacation with your boyfriend. Go dive under the sea, climb up a mountain, or anything else. I think you just need a break after doing all of your schedule. Fill your time with everything new that you never try before...

Answer 10

You have to make things happen. If you wait around for things to happen to you, you won't get to choose whether they're good things or bad things. Decide what you want to try, and try it! Travel, maybe, in a group tour for teens. Help other people. Learn about many different careers by asking people from different careers to tell you about their jobs. Try it all out!
