writes:I think I feel stuck or something. I'm 17 years old and I'm a junior in high school. Everything seems to be getting so old... My friends, how my days go, school, being a junior... I'm just sick of it all. I stay home all the time because the kind of people I go to school with generally don't do much, we're all stuck in our own world and I hate it. I feel like I'm home all the time doing the same thing everyday...I wake up, go downstairs, watch tv, get on the computer ect ect. And when I DO hang out with my friends... I feel like I could be doing better things, the things they do and talk about; I feel like I've done it all before and I'm totally over it. I listen to my sister come home talking about how much fun she has in college, and all the great friends she's made. And I want that. I just want to get out of where I am. I want to graduate and just go. I keep thinking not to rush it because as sucky as it might be it's life... and life moves way too fast to just want to move FASTER, but it's making me feel so depressed. I don't know what to do about it... I feel completely stuck and I don't know how to help myself snap out of it. I want excitement, I want to be around people like me, I think I really just want to have fun, and I don't even know how to begin.

Use all that energy. College is your best bet of escape to a new life so work out which college you want to go to and do everything you can to get there.
Good Luck!! xx

 At seventeen I wanted the same thing. I know what its like to feel stuck in a rut. Often times, I didnt go to school because I was so depressed, and I had job where I was VERY over worked especially after six years of doing it. I can honestly tell you, that while you can't speed up time, you can try to do well in school, apply and tour colleges. Maybe you will graduate early if you exceed you teachers expectations and do amazingly well. Senior year will be so much better for you. Because it will be more final, the last year. In Junior year it just feels like theres so much to do and you dont want to do anything but get out. But if you just concentrate on school ( and maybe plan some fun things to do with your friends and family) then by the time you graduate you may actually miss it. I remember when I felt so stuck to the point where I envied others that had more fun, and did a wide aray of activities. Now I am 19 and rent a house with my boyfriend (and dog lol) We both go to college ( just JC's ot get our general out of the way) and we both have jobs. My life has has improved so much, and I know yours will too, just try to stay patient, because the freedom is really worth the wait. Good luck!!!

Everyone gets bored at some part in their life. Stop thinking of this as a major problem, it can be easily sorted. You sound like you have a good future ahead of you, with colleage and stuff, but you need to concentrate on whats going on in your life now!
As you are 17, you dont have much longer to go until collage, so its not like you are waitng a lifetime.
As for now, it seems like you need to find a new hobby or sport, therefore hopefully leading you into making a new set of friends and further opportunites. Skateboarding? Swimming? The gym? Tennis? Volunteering? A part time job? keep looking out for new places to go and things to do, and remember it wont always be like this.
