I think the HARDEST TIME OF LIFE is when you are YOUNG, in your late teens and 20's! I found that period HARD

I agree no less. Life is terribly hard. Think positively is a good idea. Just look at the mirror and give yourself a nice smile that you can have a real smile and happiness on yourself oneday. ;) Good wish to all of hard life people.

You believe looking and feeling young is a bad thing but it isn't. You have tried to be around people closer to your age and you don't feel right. You try to change yourself to fit in but when you do it doesn't help.  You feel uncomfortable looking and feeling young but then you tend to look at people your own age and think they look and behave old. I think your thinking the reality of your life is you believe you don't fit in the age range you are suppose to fit in but that is a false belief. There are many people who are in their seventies and eighties who feel and look younger and do things younger people do. The difference is they accept and enjoy the way they feel and don't try to change themselves to fit in to what they think things should be. When you are around people your own age you are projecting how you feel on to them and wonder why your not like them or why there not more like you.  Everyone is different.Learn to accept the differences. Almost all my friends have children but me and when i am around them they talk mostly about their kids. I can't fully relate to them and sometimes feel left out of the conversations because of this. I use to think something was wrong with me because i didn't want children. I now realize that I can still be around them and enjoy there company and there stories. It is  a bit different but he rules of acceptance with yourself still apply. Be yourself. Be around people you enjoy despite the differences you see and accept yourself and others even if you think they are old and you feel and look young.

Being a women, I understand how difficult men can be, but honestly, i think us women are the harder ones to understand. We say one thing, but feel another way.... We are just soo totally confusing at times!!!!! LOL

Hey girlfriend I'm 44 and I'm in the prime of my life and I feel young and I been told I look young for my age. We are still young. 40 is just the beginning. Don't think so much about death Just be happy and live everyday to the fullest. I sometimes get scared too but all I can do is pray and ask god to at least let me live as long as my father did and he was only 67. Now you tell me that is young Huh? So see we are still young. Actually younger guys ask me out. The older we get the better we look and feel!

Well, as i'm almost done with 12th, i think the hardest time was definitely 11th grade. What with PSATs, college prep stuff, looking up the colleges, and AP classes. 11th grade was definitely the hardest

Marriage is definately hard, especially when you think you have found yourself then discover a few years down the road you really don't know who you are or what you like.  Do not give in to the pressure, if I knew then what I know now, I would not have started a family until my thirties.  Your preferences change so much between the time that you graduate from high school, then college, then being responsible enough to purchase your first home.  You and your friends need to know that while the feeling of love is great, it does not pay the bills and marriage does not automatically make you or your spouse responsible.

Let's start with this ... you're much too young to be so stressed over life. Try this ... don't set yourself up to see life as if every day is a struggle to survive. You're going to have plenty of time for that in a few years and then you won't have the same choice in allowing life to be simple. Enjoy this time of your life without making so many demands on yourself and ultimately you wont place those same demands on others around you. Just be you, be honest with yourself and others and for cryin out loud ... RELAX and have fun with life.

You are never to old, from experience I can tell you. The hardest thing to deal with is being amongst so many young bright kids fresh out of high school. You do adjust in time, so go ahead...life is an adventure :)\n\nGood Luck

I'm a teenager and I think it is fun and challenging at the same time. I go under a lot of stress but I tend to consider my feelings more than other's sometimes.\n\n Like, sometimes I'll think everyone is treating me so unfair when I actually deserve how they're treating me. Also, there's so many things to deal with like: hormones, homework, after school activities, family, etc. Sometimes I just feel like blowing up! Also, I don't like when people make stereotypes like: "Those teenagers are rebellious", we're just unique individuals exploring life! Anotherthing that I don't like is feeling like I'm caught between being a kid and an adult, and most people want us to act like adults and we're not! \n\nBut, along with all these stressful things, there comes rewards such as: hanging out with friends, meeting new friends, and having new experiences. Like, last year, I met two really good friends and we have been getting together to watch movies on some Friday's and recentley I was in a play and that was a fun (and challenging) experience.\n\nSo, all in all, being a teenager is just like any other stage of life, interesting and unique!

I am beginning to, now that I am older. I have found it really goes with the hormonal changes before and during my period.  Not a fun time!

The bad and trouble times affected you the most, that's why it's easier to recall them. You should try to visualise the good times. \nYou are NOT abnormal.

Heh, I'm 19, I feel that way... Aging and it's fast pace scares me. My health hasn't been exactly "stellar".  Physically, some days I feel like I'm 80 years old. I no longer buy into the teenage baby mama drama from my former friends, like I did at 16. I guess I have trouble adjusting to age, and change.
