(Im the first person in my family to graduate highschool) i barely graduated from my highschool with just enough credits. My grades are average, I have Ds on my transcript. It's been 7 months and I haven't done anything to start my life I haven't even gotten my drivers liscense. I haven't looked into what college I'm going to and I have no idea what I want to do as a lifetime career. I don't know what the hell is wrong with but I feel like a failure.im so unmotivated and I just feel like a low life fool that no one understands...fuck my life ...I partially blame my school for not getting us ready for the real world ... I'm just lost and I feel unprepared to face this world of ours :,/

Whoa whoa whoa! I think you've set too high of standards for yourself, it takes time to figure out what you want to do in life, it doesn't happen overnight, movies and tv have a jaded image that the second you graduate you will immediately become successful, that's not in any way correct in most cases.. And when it comes to your actual curriculum in school, well, honestly, kids couldn't care less about what the EXACT date blackbeard the friggen pirate died, I would have wanted to know wanted to know how to file my taxes! How to set up a savings account, how do I sign up for my own medical plan, how much will it cost me to get my licence, how much will insurance cost? How much is typical rent? ...But schooling is set in its ways, trust me man, Im only 20, and life hasn't really changed all that much from highschool, a job, an apartment, and a dog later, and everything has barely even lifted off yet! You have so much time! Figure out what you WANT to do, and keep your head up! Confidence and the will to want a good life for yourself are keys to great success (Ps. Get your drivers licence as soon as possible, it makes working near or far or even finding a job SO much easier... Best luck buddie!!!
