Im 16 and have been just realizing the fact that im graduating in 2 years. That means, college, my own job, my own house, marriage sometime or later, and everything. The whole job and car thing really sparked these thoughts. Ive already been drowned in job applications but i havent got a job yet. I do have a car though, and my parents are helping me pay for gas and shtuff. I guess Im not really afraid of getting older and completely independent, im just shocked at how fast i grew up. Its weird.

It's inevitable... afraid or not, it's something I will have to deal with.

Growing up came on me quickly 2. It stinks. I used to get away with a lot more stuff as a kid. But i'm still one at heart.

I just think, in a year I plan to move to Melbourne (TCE scores willing!) and live with my friend, away from any family, and go to university. Scary.

Ya when I graduated it was kindof surreal, like it just popped into my thoughts that now I have to decide what Im doing with the rest of my life. Its scary. I want to leave home for university, but I kindof dont at the same time....

I know the feeling. I'm even more anxious about the future now that I'm a semester away from graduating college than when I was in high school. ...though I will be just going to another school. I'll be done one day... *looks into the future*

The fact that friends of mine are now married with kids adds to that...

I look forward to the future and am excited about it. ...just seems weird as you say.

I'll be out in June. Do I find it scary? No. But I have reasons for wanting to leave and stay. In the end though, I'm definately leaving because I refuse to be the "Dude in his mother's basement" and I have a goal to be a famous photographer.

Its not "growing up" its the economic crisis that scares me. How will I afford everything my family needs? What kind of job will I get? (Im not planning on college because I'd like to be a stay-at-home mom.)

That's awesome. Good luck to you with her (Although I'm sure you don't need it because it's lasted a year) My most recent was 4 months but I left her on good terms.

It was a fairly strange, quick, and rather easy transition for me. It's not as bad as it seems, I know I was scared before it happened too, but I like where I am now more than in high school.

True, being an adult is very demanding, but also the freedoms gained from living on your own are very rewarding to a lot of people.

When I turned 16, My dad was like, heres your car, I'll pay for your first insurance payment, now go find a job so you can pay for your car insurance and gas. Then, I found a job within a month of being 16. Now I turn 21 in less then a year, talk about growing up fast......I'm in college, own my own car that I bought, pay my own insurance, and run my own life. 16 wasn't very independent, after you turn 18 was a rush, but 20......just, wow.....

I feel that way sometimes. Student life is easy compared to grown-up life. Hopefully I'll be ready when I'm done with college.

I'm pretty much afraid of life. I don't know what I want to do, I don't know what I can do and I'm not even enjoying life at the moment. Things will fall into place soon enough, I guess.

Look at it this way; If you go to college, that means you put off "growing up" for another 4 years.

Not only that, but college is the best 4yrs of your life.
