friends help: I am scared of growing up. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

I am scared of growing up.

I don’t fit in with people my age, I don’t like going out drinking which is basically all they seem to do, or talk about things that are too “old” for me to handle. Like…rude things. Arghghghgh. This means, as a new student, I am at a loss for making friends. Oh I forgot to add I am stupidly shy in to the equation. Boo!

first of all, i think your doing the right thing not going out and drinking. Drinking is just bad for you…. you wont end up enjoying it. As to friends, try to meet some new people. There are ALOT of people you wont like in this world. You wont fit with everyone. And im shy too =P
thats ok

just be optimistic and dont get 2 sad

You are going to find people that look like you and have the same preferences if you look for them. Don’t stick with your group of friends; try to meet other people that have the same interests you have. Sometimes we simply stay near those that are in our class or our neighbourhood, even though their character is not like ours…

You can make new friends studying something, going to several places, participating of meetings, groups, etc.

Everyone is different and everyone has some preferences. You have to look for people that have similar preferences and go everywhere with them.

I understand how you feel. I used to feel the same way, because my parents were always fighting and talking about problems. I understood that grown ups have many problems… However, this is our destiny. We have to face all the problems, learn, fall and stand up again… This is life.

There are many good points on growing up. You can be independent, take your own decisions, work… It’s good to be mature, to understand many things, to have some experience in life. You will feel fine as a woman too! You are going to be wise, while now you are ignorant.

You want to fit in, i did at my school and got a hot boyfriend in the first week, and and try as hard as possible to follow these steps:
1. you need thongs, you look so sexxy
2. along with a thong you need the hottest butt ever! that g-string between your cheeks is a 100% hottie magnet(show it off! my boyfriend loves that!)
3. TANNNN! a hot body can be put to waist with out a sereouly hot tan!

Goodluck!

I think it’s great that you aren’t succumbing to peer pressure. If you’re trying to make friends with these kids to be cool, and you KNOW they’ll just make you drink/smoke/etc., it’s probably best that you don’t. I’m sure there are kids like you out there, just as shy as you are. So go out, introduce yourself…you’ll have friends in no time. :)

yeah i don’t wanna grow up either, but its a part of life, growing up isn’t all that bad, at least you don’t have your parents telling you what to do, you can do watever u want when ya want, but there are hard parts too. we just gotta learn to accept them and just roll with life, maybe growing up isn’t all that bad, we can experience a lot of new things

Just because you don’tlike drinking does not mean you don’t fit in with peope your age, you just like different things, try and figure out what you do like doing and do that instead, you may meet some new friends that way.
I think we are all the same though, when you are a kid you dont want to grow up, when your an adult you don’t want to get old…
