Adolescence is usually the most difficult age of human life, right after old age.
We sometimes hear that adolescence lasts until 18 years old. Now I'm turning 20 in less than a month and still feel like an useless burden like adolescents use to do, and it's way worse than when I was 17-18. Is it still a matter of adolescence?
How is/was your adolescence like?

never posted a more stupid thread :lmao:

It was rough. I'm 21 and life is still rough, but I'm okay. Way better now than I was then. I'm happy and alive, so I'm all good. Can't complain.

Lol I'm happy for you :)
There are days in which I feel like a waste of life, and in general I feel lazy even if I'm not lazy, and that I'm somehow wasting my time. And I use to be a solar person, so it's weird to see myself in such a state

I'm gonna say 18-21 is significantly more difficult than anything I came close to experiencing in my high school years. College is no joke, finding a job is no joke, all your actions have far more serious consequences that people also take more seriously...you can honestly goof off during your adolescence and make a total comeback post-adolescence (in fact, I've seen people do this pretty often xD); it's a bit more difficult to do that from post-adolescence onwards.

I suppose it's easier to get stuck in your own head as an adolescent and not see the freedom/room for error that you really have, though.

Not sure if I have a freedom room, at least, as long as I live with my parents I have heavy rules to follow.. I definitely have to get a job, but living in a little city in the most depressed part of Italy it's not easy. Plus I have to do the university online cause my dad didn't trust me to go in an university city cause he feared I would have done some dumbshit out of control:/

I 100% have those days too. They really feel like the end of the world, but things get better. A big thing I got from my mom that I keep replaying in my head is to not compare yourself to anyone else. We are all our own person. It's tough because we will always compare in some way, but it is best to try your best to not and be optimistic.

I can't remember, it's been so long since I was one :elmo:

Well not all of us can perform derptanic rituals and achieve immortality

Still sounds like adulthood is harder mate; seems like even you're feeling it xD

Well, I am working in a established company, I am studying my dream degree BUT STILL I am childish AF... I f*cked up a lot during 18-19 but since I grew up playing around with guys 5 years older than me, there is a slight maturity... I am growing old a bit but there is that side of me that is very playful since pain, struggle and poverty left me with no time for childhood.
My mother never paid for my studies from high school got scholarship, and college I f*cked up the biggest biggest Bursary in the science world Square Kilometre Array(SKA)... I remember making a thread about that 3 years ago, about how NarutoBase made me f*ck my studies.

through all of that here I am... You'll make it bro, I am far from reaching my goals but at least I can say I took a handful of steps forward

There aren't yet words to describe the nightmarish suffering that years of my life have been, pain doesn't even describe it.
Reality, beat me in imagining what could be my worst nightmare.
But one certainty is death, this will end, and that leaves me no reason to not struggle for better life and so I am alive hoping to die.

actually i find adolescence thw worst fase too.
21-24 years can be somewhat harder, because is the first time we are get serious resposabilities, but at least no one is dumb and retarded like teengers. And high school is a so ****ed up system, college is much better, independece, the parties are wilder, your life is no one business.

Interesting thread.

My teenage years were tough, I had to deal with lots of sadness and drama, but besides that, life was much easier than it is now. All I really had to care about was school-stuff. Getting up in the morning, spending some hours sitting in school and then I went home, just to live through the same cycle over and over again.

On the other hand, I'm way more happy with my life now, because I kinda made peace with myself and I don't try to be fine for everyone anymore. I managed to realize that most people are not worth to be dealt with. At least in real life. I still waste way to much time with cancerous people on the internet. Don't worry, I'm already working on it too.

I think I'll try to follow your mom's advice too ;) well, if it's not copyrighted. Isn't awful when older people tell you stuff like: "at your age I already have done this, I was that, unlike you that only waste your time"? Like it was the same time as now. Can't stand it.

i like ****in teenage girls, i hate dealing with them...

I know a guy who is just two year older than me (so 22) who totally rejected girls of his age and now goes with 30 or 40 years old women, some of those married and/or with sons. You maybe can do like him xd

Its all good. You cant rush these things. Do it at your pace :)

Thank you very much :) we hope well

I can't remember, it's been so long since I was one :elmo:

Lmao a teenage derpy ;) would be interesting

Damn those derptanic rituals!

OT:

But when you're adult,you're more mature and has less shit in your mind. I myself feel way more mature than when I was 17. Maybe at that age I just couldn't figure I would have met some problems in my life

Narutobase made you fick your studies? Anyway all is well that ends well, Is it ok being somewhat childish even as an adult, if you notice, playful men are the most successful.
Thank you very much for sharing your story, I really appreciated it

**** no! You don't even have to think such things. Life is beautiful, way more beautiful than you can even imagine, and if life turns her back to you it means you have to grab her butt.
And every time you feel so low just think about it: did they made Mr. Bean or Hercules doing the Twelve Labors? if you have such a heavy weight on your shoulders it means you're strong enough to carry it.
Keep grinding champ

i think all stages of life is equally as difficult for different reasons.

Uhm to me, life is indeed more difficult now than it was when I was 16-17-18.

Teenage years were hardest? Haha no way.

The average teen has a lot less responsibilities and a cushier life. Those lack of ties bring a sort of freedom you never have again.

Well, after you turn 18 your responsibilities increase all in once. But you're still naive at 18, you do realize you're not a child anymore when you're around 20

It seems interesting, even if I'm not much interested in parties. Thank you for the advice ;)

You're working on it but still didn't have achieved the goal, since you're replying on my thread xd for school well, I've been blessed because I was in the most difficult lyceum of my city and studied much just the first two years. But I'm changed a lot since then, and around the third year of Lyceum I started turning the person I am now, and being more "sharp" I studied nothing and did well.
Well, about people I love to meet new people with all kinds, so not a problem.. it's just my family. Sometimes I feel like they think I am retarded. It should be normal for an adolescent but if I turn 20 in two weeks I'm not adolescent so I'm starting worrying..





My sincere gratitude to everyone replied in my thread. I almost shed a tear reading all the replies in once. Thank you for sharing your stories, giving me some motivation, reassure me and just spending a minute of your time to answer me.
