Okay. For a lot of us, including myself, this can be a scary subject. You start to notice how much you've grown up mostly after you've left high school.
We've all heard the phrase "you'll notice change when you're no longer at high school" or something along those general lines. And it's very true.
Once you've left high school, you go through your life alone. I don't mean of course you shut yourself off from the world, but I mean every choice, every triumph and mistake, everything relating to your life, must be dealt with by yourself. Things suddenly become your choice and you are expected to do more, wether it would be to get a part time job while you're at college, or do some bits and bobs around the house, learn to drive. It dawns on you that you're no longer a little kid, and you have to pay for your actions.
You need to have the qualifications to get a good job to provide for yourself and maybe a family, you need to move out (eventually) and get out into the world.
You can be whatever you want to be, but if you get into any sort of trouble, you don't have anyone to hide behind. You must take responsibility for your actions.
It's a scary thought isn't it? Because when you move out you have to go shopping yourself, or with whoever you live with. No longer will someone be there to put food in the kitchen for you or clean up after you.
Anyway, it's something we all go through, everyone has to grow up. Emotionally and physically we have to grow up, but mentally, never.
The friends you had may still be there with you, but you'll find things will be a lot different. You both realise at that point you have to discover what career you will have. It is very scary.
So take a deep breath and smile. I'm sure everything will be fine, just make sure you're prepared.
Another thing. Never be afraid to ask someone for help, whether it would be a parent, guardian or friend. It's best to ask and get help than to suffer and struggle on your own.
Keep smiling. X
