LIFE!

I need some help. I really screwed up my life. I went to a very competitive college and I am about to get kicked out for underage drinking and supposedly lying. I did not lie but I was under investigation for lying and my school convicted me of lying. I am now going to get kicked out of this very prestigious institution. It set up a career for me; therefore, one could say my career is over. I do not know what to go. I like to think of myself as that kid who was always so innocent and all the adults liked. In high school, I was all the teachers friends and they all helped me achieve my goal. Where I am now. Now after a stupid mistake, poor judgement, a poor decision, that is all gone. I still can go to other colleges and I think that is what I need to do especially in today’s world but it will put a big financial burden on my parents. Something I do not want to do. I was contemplating running away. It sounds silly and I told some friends, I even told my parents. I would run away to Florida, a place with many marinas and sailboats. I am an avid sailor. I am very good at networking and I feel it could work. The reason I am not going to do it is because of the pain I would give my parents. I do not know what to do. What do I do when I see my friends and they ask me how everything is going at school and then I say I got kicked out? This whole situation goes much deeper than this. One of my favorite books is The Catcher in the Rye. The main theme is loss of innocence. As I grow up, I don’t want to. I want to stay that little kid that everyone loves forever. But two years ago, all I wanted to do was get away and grow up. I am sure this is common among many adolescents but I just don’t know. Maybe all I need is some support. And the thing is, I have been getting support from everyone I talk to but I just feel ashamed. I feel like a loser. I feel like the person that I told myself I would never be, a failure. I failed. Through adversity comes strength but gosh darn it, I hate adversity. I want to live the perfect life. Maybe this is mistake number one. I tend to ramble like I am doing right now. But yeah any words of wisdom would be great. :)

Thank you.

Pretty much you need to start making better decisions with the things you do in life. If you know something’s wrong then the best action to take is to not get involved to begin. The truth is, although your not going to like it, is that there is always going to be adversaries in life, even when your 100, there will always be something to stand against you, and your probably never going to live a perfect life where everything is always good all the time. The best thing you can do is to plant your feet, and even more importantly, learn from your mistakes to help you make better decisions.

what would running away from your problems do for you? live in regret. you should feel fortunate a lot of people dont get the opportunity you have as for schooling.not trying to be rude but if you want to be a responsible person just face up to what has happened and except it after all you put your self in this position right.it’ll all pass in time so dont give up or you’ll regret it the rest of your life feel fortunate you have what you have trust me it could be much much worse. so chin up and take it all in full force.becoming an adult means taking responsibility for your self and your actions no matter the out come.
