Well I'm in gr. 11 now and every time i think of the future i get scared or overwhelmed. I'm not unsuccessful or anything up to this point. I have decent marks and have even made the national team for my sport. i also see my self as a charismatic person wich helps in life but even with this i feel overwhelmed or scared that in the future i will fail is it normal?

    Four words you won't hear often...

    It's okay to fail.

    What matters more is how you deal with it and move on. How you approach things to make the next time (or the time after that) a success. No-one wins every time. Winners, ironically, are those who deal best with failure.

    It's common to be at that age and feel anxiety.

    I felt the same a couple of years back but I snapped out of it and realized that I control my life and can make it whatever I want.

    That's a risk you cannot avoid. Don't become so afraid of failure that you forget to live. Every thing we do has a lesson to teach us. Failure is an important one we all must learn at some point in life. Just because one action fails, does not mean your whole life has failed. Just because you succeed in one thing does not mean you will succeed in everything. Accept it, you will fail, you will pick yourself up, and you will keep going- stronger then you were before.

    I remember feeling that way too in high school. Especially junior year, because that's the year that it really hit's you that your last year is around the corner. But I think a lot of people get scared when they think about the future. Don't let it get you too scared though. The last thing you need is anxiety. And you need to understand that there are gonna be things in the future/in life, that are going to be really hard. You'll probably have obstacles in your path, but God wouldn't put anything in your path that you can't handle. Don't ever let yourself be afraid of failure, be afraid if you fail, and never get up to try again.
