Another problem is that my mother refuses to let me to go on school trips or go outside hanging out with my friends or visit there house and she just sometimes let them visit me in our house but it's not alot she keeps on saying you see them at school but school is for studying not playing, I'm in the 9th grade by the way and I asked her if I could in the 12th grade she like maybe is being a control freak or am I just overreacting.

Oh no I rambled on too much ohcrap but here's my last words everybody believe in yourself and get that life on the track, goodluck everyone~

Oh, don't worry about rambling. I doubt anybody much minds.

Why on Earth does your mother hold you back that way? Have you any idea? My parents have been extremely protective of me and I turned into a very introverted person because of it for a few years. I'm not that bad anymore, in fact: I love being around good people. They make me feel so much better.

I know you probably aren't asking for advice, but since I've been in your position I'd like to put some forth: don't go thinking that getting over being an unsocial person is an easy feat. It took me years. I went into my introverted stage in 9th grade as well, it took me until my Junior year to feel like I had actually made progress in controlling it. On the note of saying yes all of the time: stick up for yourself, because nobody else will.

Good luck with your troubles.

That is wonderful.
I have always been a big talker but had trouble taking that first step to doing.
I know what I want to do with my life and I have begun doing it. I want to be able to play guitar and write songs, so I am practicing my guitar again something I have put on hold so long(longer than I even needed to sadly) that I am now out of practice and have to go back to the beginning. Not that I was ever far from the beginning at all. But I am going to get back on it and move forward even with school as I have three free whole days to do it so I am going to use them. I have even googled some online guides and even looked up the chords to my favorite song that I am desperate to learn 'Broken' by Seether.

I am also taking beginning voice this semester, to increase the quality of my singing voice and the class even includes the useful skill of learning to read music.
Then the next semester I will be taking beginning Guitar to increase my activity on the guitar even more.

I also want to be a writer, an author to be exact and I have begun my first novel which I hope to publish, although when I say begun, that is certainly the literal statement of the century, I have about three or four paragraphs. >_<
But I vow to myself that this is another thing I will get back into. I am very excited about this story.

I also want to get into acting, its something I have enjoyed before and want to try again. Unfortunately I seem to be at a dead end there, but I will find my way there too.

If there is one thing I have learned from the things in childhood that I never got but wish like Bloody Hell I had, it's that when you want something you have to reach out and grab it yourself and as Celine Dion sings "there's no easy way out".
I find recently that my ambitions and dreams make Micheal Bolten's 'Go the Distance' fit my life quite well.

"I'll be there someday, I can go the distance,
I will find my way if I can be strong
I know every mile will be worth my while
When I go the distance I'll be right where I belong"

Anyone here with a dream/ambition, its never too late to start going after it. So go after it with all your heart.

Sounds like your ahead of me. I finally decided to chase my dream and will be taking classes next year. I come from a long line of carpenters and have always loved working with wood. I didn't go into it as a profession though because it's a 'guys' field. This year I am going to go for it. Even if it doesn't amount to anything much career wise, I'll still be able to make a doll house for my daughter and a cool toybox for my son. :P

Nissa: Its the 21st century there is no longer any such thing as a 'guys field' or a 'girls field'. Those who still believe there is are frozen in the past and need to join us ;)

i am glad to see people are welling to help people you don't really know how much it means to me cause to me that shows that there are good people out there in the world it means alot to everyone to know that and i am really happy for everyone who is getting thier life together and i hope and pray for everyone else that postting here and reading and talking to other people that they find the words that they need to hear and i am glad that you guys are willing to share your stories and help other people out that is why i have done this and all of you guys have helpped me and i thank you for that and i hope that you find the help that you need and i think i have just repeatted myself again oh well like my dad always tells me: Nothing is Worth Doing unless Your Doing it For Your Self. Follow Your Dreams No Matter What.

As for me, I'm 17, in college, and have no job, no money, and only a couple close friends.
Still living with the folks. No car or license.
Haven't been laid ever.

I've got 99 problems, but at least a bitch ain't one of them.
Thank you, I'll be here all week. (That was a joke, for those of you who are dense.)

:vicky: wushoo super ameika !

Well I didn't really do anything to mess up my life or anything. I have no friends to hang out and I tried to talk to one from high school about that, but it didn't happen. I didn't really get to hang out with friends in high school. Just might as well say I've never really had friends to begin with. It's not really my fault, it's theirs. Once we got in high school they stopped acting like friends to me, but they acted like friends with each other. So basically all through my high school life and now I've been friendless and alone. My school was small so there wasn't anyone in the school that would actually act like a friend toward me and be a real friend. Most everyone had something negative to say about me. So now I'm very lonely and sad and many times just wanted die. Part of who I am and the way I act, all shy and such, as to do with the people around me. No one seems to really listen to me and that started about the time I got in high school. Why talk if no one's going to listen to you? I really don't think I used to be as shy as I am now when I was younger. A bunch of negativity, no one listening to me, and no one talking to me as made me stop talking as much and just made it much harder for me. No one in my house, or my family in general, really seems interested in what I want to as far as college goes. It's like they don't care when they told me when I was younger that they wanted me to go to college. I want to go to college, but if the people close to me isn't interested or acts like they want to help in the little ways they can then just discourages me. I think I was basically told that I most likely won't be going to the university I want to go to because "I can't afford it." I can't afford this community college either, I'm only going because of financial aid. It's not even where I really want to be, I'm only going because it should help me get into the university I want to go to. If I don't do this college thing then that will be where I really went wrong in my life, but part of the reason would be because of the people around me. I can't do anything and I probably never really will get to the university I want because I have no help when I really can receive it because no one seems to interested in what I want to do with my life now.

i am sorry about that you just keep doing what you want that is the many thing they have Pell grants to help you out and finacial aid as you stated or you could do what most of my friends done and join the military and have them pay for your college just some thought is all

I will try to do that. I'm not joining the military though, just not something I'm interested in especially not to just to get to go college.

i know what you mean. don't be too hard on yourself, though. today is always a new day and a new step to a new tomorrow. it sounds cheesy, but its true.

lol very understandable

I never wondered where I went wrong, because in truth I know where I did. I even semi-wish I could go back and change at least 2 of those times, but if they didn't happen I wouldn't be the person I am today.

I know where things started going out of control with my life, but I don't think that any of it's what went wrong. Me and life have a love/hate relationship going on. I do the things I enjoy in life, and I love it. But reality is much harsher. My playing video games and locking myself out from the world is probably where my social problem went wrong, and now I'm believed to have a social phobia of some sort.
Problem two was 'coming out of the closet' as people like to call it, or just simply being open about me being gay. This lost me friends, but I found out who my true friends were, and who just hang out with me for the sake of it. I take it as me being sort of rich (I even lost the friends I hated and didn't know :D Good point!)
But I regret nothing! I do well in my school life, and I try to think positive about the future, despite me being a very negative sort of guy.

i went wrong when i started drugs in high school.
i never paid attention in class and failed.

i again screwed things up after my parents moved me hundreds of miles away from the drugs.
i had a fresh start.
i managed to get my ged.
but then ditched an amazing man from italy to date an asshole here in the states.
i moved in with him.
and focused solely on that relationship.
i ignored starting college.

but now i am on the right track!
thank god! lol.

@mau5ie: Thats good to hear that things are starting to get better. I hope the best for you.

@JasperVonViktor: Just be you. (:

@ButterflyDemise: We all have those small things. But just keep going and see what happens. We don't need to fit it, just make it better. (:

My problem?
My parents don't give a poop about me or my education. They just want me out of the house and out of their lives and to do my own thing. :/ I had to drop out of college for a few months because they couldn't pay for me to be there, and they were having problems with the babysitter they got for my sister. So here I am, home alone back at my parents' place while all my friends are back at school having all these fun without me.

I don't know.. I sometimes feel like I'm wasting myself here. But I'm working hard. (: I look forward to see what happens with things. I've been studying for summer school. I'll ace those poopfaces. Then we'll see who's wasting away.
