getting older idk

every time i tell someone this they just say "youre only 13/14/15/16, youre still young, relax" and it feels so useless because it doesnt help. i genuinely feel as though i am wasting my life completely. im already 16 and my life feels so empty because i (think?) am mentally unwell. it makes me miss out on so many things, intentionally. im gna be 18 then 20 then 25 and then my life will be over and ill have nothing to look back on. and its already 2026 and im turning 17 like huh. i hate this sm i wish somebody understood this feeling like i did. im also doing online school so it makes me miss out on regular school, which means missing out on normal high school memories. ive only attended 9th and 10th grade irl (high school wise) and 10th grade was the worst year of my life, whereas 9th was the best. and now ill never experience anything like that again. i wish time slowed down a bit so i can at least keep up. sigh.
also, happy new year!

You're right. The Merry Go Round only goes around once. We all have things we remember in life .... but when we die we don't dwell on those things. We dwell on what we didn't do in life. An old man told me once there are two kinds of old men in the old folks home. Those that only listen..... and those that tell the stories. Be the one that tells the stories.

You’re right 16 was one of the worst ages to be. When I was at least twice that age my life was so much better.

I had a rough time in high school. Stay focused on getting through it, finish it. You'll be glad you did. You're still young

These feelings are totally normal for your age. Just finish school, and once you are working in a job in your field, the social connections and friends will come. 🫂
