    I've learned so much about myself in the past few years that I can't begin to describe it. I have a lot more confidence in myself now.. that only comes with time.

    You are entering the best years of your life! Going to college, meeting new friends, etc. Concentrate on your education and be the best you can at whatever you choose to do with your education. Learn everything you can by going to new places, doing new things, etc. You have so much to look forward to. Yes, there may be disappointments along the way, but you learn from those also. Just don't worry about growing up, that comes automatically. Hugs.....

    Growing up isn't bad. It's actually fun! You can do what you want, go where you want, when you want. Don't worry about having to be grown up all of a sudden . It comes in stages. I am 29 and I am still growing up. Just because you grow up doesn't mean you lose out on your family's love or anything like that. And yes sometimes it is hard but I wouldn't change it and go back to my younger years for anything. Hang in there! It's not bad! It's fun. Why don't you find something to do that you feel is grown up and fun and do it! When I first moved out I decided I wanted to eat ice cream and brownie one morning for breakfast. And I did. No one to tell me I couldn't. Now I wouldn't recommend doing that all the time but you can if you want too. The thing about being grown up is doing what you want to do within healthy choices. And you will get better about it overtime. I so wish you could see a counselor. Have you asked your parents if maybe they can help you with that?

    Morgan, I am WAAAYYY grown up and I survived!! Growing up is a part of life, full of adventure, good times, bad times, all of it. It's all part of life's learning experiences, and trust me, the bad stuff makes you stronger. What you are feeling is normal, Robby is going thru the same thing at 21, he is afraid of the "real world", going out on his own when he graduates next year, getting a "real" job and supporting himself. He even talked about staying in school for another semester. I told him not too, you have to face the future head on, the good along with the bad. You just have to believe in yourself, and believe that you are strong, and count on those who are there to support you and lean on them if you need to... that's what life is all about. You know I believe in you.... XX mom

    Yes it gets better. You get to a point where you don't give a sh** about what people think and you break out and become your own person. It's very freeing really...You have a lot of living ahead of you. Try not to take it so seriously. You will be successful and enjoy life. Don't worry.

    p.s. I sort of had a meltdown at 21. It's really the age you give up your childhood and really become an adult. It's a transition. ((HUGS))

    hey growing up is great. when i think back to the times when i had really bad anxiety attacks and to where ive got to know i feel great, its wierd you think youll never feel better and that growing up is just going to make things worse but you learn to deal with things better and learn how to cope better. hope you have a good week

    What you have to remember is, things arent going to change unless you want them too....what are you scared of about growing up? Leaving your parents, leaving home? you can stay near them or with them if you want, or is it the independence? just remember you can take things as slowly as you want, and your only 18 so there is plenty of time to stick with what your doing. And growing up is all in ones own head, if you want to be grow up, be grown up, if you want to be a kid be a kid. :)
