I’m 18, turning 19 and it’s the first birthday I haven’t been excited about. I feel “old” (I know I’m not, but it’s the first time I realize I’m getting there). My teen years have sucked, and everyone tells me your teen years are some of the best of your life. I dropped out of high school (because I was forced to, not because I wanted to) before I even started and I’ve never had a single friend. I just wish I had some friends to celebrate my last teenage birthday with. I haven’t had a party or presents or cake since I was 12. Everyone else had a “sweet 16” and an 18th party and all. I’m not ready for my teen years to end. I didn’t have much of a childhood, and I want more time to do some of the things I missed out on. It seems like when you hit 20 it’s just now socially acceptable to go to stupid kid stuff like go to the park or have a sleepover. Why can’t we have more numbers that end in teen? It feels like time is moving so fast now. I just want to go back. Is it normal that I’ve never had any friends or fun? Can I make up for lost time? I just want memories to reminisce in later in life.

    You will come to realize that as you get older, friends are a luxury. You will only have known persons , and the maybe 1 or 2 friends that you do have, those will be the only ones that matter. Because each and everyone starts making their lives, College, Work, Marriage etc, so don’t stress, you are still young, start a job or study and you will make some friends soon enough
