There are so many things to worry about all at once. Does that girl like me, do I need to get bigger muscles, is my voice going to be like this forever, is it okay to cry or not?
There is so much going on around me and it’s moving so fast. My fragile ego is constantly being tested by people at home, school, sports, church. I really want to figure life out but I don’t want people to know I don’t know it all.
I KNOW I NEED TO FIGURE THIS OUT SOONER OR LATER...WELL, HOPEFULLY, SOONER THAN LATER.
My best friend and I only talk about this stuff from time to time. It usually gets uncomfortable because I tell him I’m okay and he says he is okay. I know I’m not so it only makes sense that he isn’t. Right?
My Mom and Dad tell me it will all work out. They say “we went through it and turned out fine and so will you.” I know they want the best for me but I need more than those words.
My teacher says I will never amount to anything if I don’t pay attention in class. Is this really true? I question this every day. I don’t understand how knowing what the capital of Nigeria is going to help me in life but at the same time, I’m being judged.
My coach is always yelling. I think to myself I never want to be that way when I get older. I want to be good at this sport but I feel as if my life depends on it.
My church youth group is a great place. I feel like I can talk to my youth pastor about any of my problems, but I know I won’t be in the youth group forever.
I want to figure out life but I don’t know where to go for help.
My best friend said his brother went to BaseCamp. BaseCamp helped him work through many of his questions. He said he’s registered and wants me to come with him. Should I?
