What am I supposed to do now in life?
Dude, feel sorry for you as you have a couple of issues you are facing together at this young age. Here's my take :* Problem with your studies.* Alcholic and abusive Dad.* Poor relationship between your Mum and Dad.* Disciplinarian, authorative and inflexible Dad.* Having onus of your Mum's well being on your performance. * Fear* Your own expectations It is not easy to be dealing with these issues all at once, and if your Dad's issues are resolved, most of the other problems can be managed. So you need to think on this line. Can you speak of your concerns to another relative who can speak to your Dad? What about another authority figure? Say the religious leader or elder from your community? Have you tried to talk with options with your Mum and take her advise and suggestions? So consider over these, and be sure that time will provide you with the answer. But remember, in life there are no 'dead ends' You will have an answer - the one that may not be apparent now, or it may be the one that you do not like to face : That you will disappoint your Dad, but accept that you have to live your life and be happy, and your Dad's issues are his and that you should not have to bear the brunt of it. Another thing about passion - Everybody has passion. But without focus, determination and resolve, it really does not take you anywhere. You seem to be a level headed guy and I wish you the best. Suggest : You take up reading some positive and motivational books to guide and inspire you.
I'm 16 years old. What am I supposed to do with my life at this age, or what should I have done until now?
I myself am 16 years old. You have a very limited description of yourself and what you mean but from what I gather this is my main piece of advice to you:In my short span of life I have come to realize that no, I do not know everything there is to know. My parents do know what is best for me the majority of the time and there are many things that I need to work on. Taking this into account, at this young age, it is of utmost importance that you focus on improving yourself mentally, physically, emotionally, etc. for the long road ahead. Adulthood is a scary thought, but everything that you've done to lead up to this very moment is preparing you for the rest of your adult life. Take time to learn new things (not through Google), take risks, learn from experiences, and respect and seek advice from your elders. Your mind is a sponge at this point in your life, take advantage of that and learn as much as you can. And lastly some other tidbits from one 16 year old to another:Don't be afraid of social interaction. Learn how to give a firm handshake and create a great first impression. Networking will come in handy for a first job or job opportunities.Focus on your schoolwork and grades. Your grades are worth anywhere from twenty-thousand dollars to upwards of one hundred thousand dollars.If anyone comes between you and your self improvement and self betterment; sever the link between you two.Appreciate your family and friends. Life is precious.High School relationships rarely lead to marriage; don't be disappointed if that hoe Jessica rejects you or if that jock Brad just wants to get in your pants.The most successful people are hard workers.Selflessness can take you a long way. But don't let yourself be walked on. Another similar school of thought from our late president Teddy Roosevelt, "Speak softly and carry a large stick".Find what you love to do and figure out how to make money from it. Don't be afraid to chase your dreams; but don't chase the dreams that lead to nowhere.Enjoy your youth(:
What am I supposed to do with my life?
The problem is, you seem so uninterested and pessimistic about all the options, that either you are going to end up where ever you are or you will take some impulsive decision in frustration and sink even lower.At least, the current job is paying you well. You have financial security. That is positive point number one. Start ups never start with a future security. If your idea is worth it, get your ass off that bed and start working on it. It is not going to transform magically into something big.You can learn in whatever company you are working, 80% learning depends upon your interest to learn. Be enthusiastic about it. Job is not college, nobody is going to spoon feed you. You need to find your ways to learn.If you think you need to do masters because your friends are doing it, I don't think its worthy. Objectify the pros and cons and then take a logical decision.If you don't want to do an MBA. Don't even think about it. Its not worth it.I hope this helps.Thanks for ATA!!

What am I supposed to do to be in my life without hurting anyone?
Look, this is what I learnt, and I think it is better to share it than to regret later. But remember, it goes back to you again. You make the decision, it is your life.You CANNOT make everyone happy, ever. To live a life without hurting anybody is nearly impossible. Every person that you know in your life, they all are different human beings, raised in a different environment, different family, have different thoughts and the list goes on.You are you. They may have expectations out of you, but YOU are the king or queen of yourself. What you like to do may not be a favorite thing that other people do, but it doesn’t matter. They will criticize, they will tell you things, they will say you should better do this and do that, please don’t take it for granted.I have done this, it makes me sadder, more depressed, just because I think I don’t want to hurt them, so I do that.Nope, don’t. Biggest mistake. They will be happy, they will be satisfied, but they gain nothing out of it, neither you. It’s more of a loss than something good. Don’t lose something out of yourself for someone else just because you don’t want to hurt them.Yes, you can consider not to hurt someone in a way, but at the end of the day, whatever you do if it’s out of their nature, they will get hurt.Don’t live a life for other people and because of other people, live for yourself. Some people learn better when they get hurt. Do what you think is right, seek professional help if you are confused or in a deep deep problems or depressed.
What am I supposed to do with life in general in my early 20s?
If you want to move somewhere new, do it NOW. The longer you wait to start a new life, the more settled you’ll feel where you are. You’re only in your early 20s once and the time goes by quickly. If you want to try something new, now is the time.Don’t wait to do something until you have more money. If you have to save money to do something, start saving now. Don’t think you’re magically going to have money to do something in a few years. When you have more money, you’re going to spend more money on every day things and as you get older, you’re going to have more things to spend money on. Unless you win the lottery or sell your start-up, you’re not going to suddenly come in to a lot of money. Do what you want to do when you want to do it.Relationships shouldn’t be hard all of the time. If you have to work hard to make something work, it’s probably just not working. Fighting isn’t worth it. Crying isn’t worth it. It’s not going to get easier. It’s just going to get harder. Sometimes love isn’t enough. Accept it and move on. Don’t drag something on for too long. You’re only going to get older.Keep in touch with professional connections. People you used to work with. People you’ve met at networking events. People you’ve been introduced to by others. You want to keep in touch with everyone, even people younger than you. You never know who is going to be working where and in what position later in life.Not everyone is going to like you. And you’re not going to like everyone back. Stop caring so much about what people think of you and stop trying to please everyone. Just be yourself. Those that like you will like you, and those that won’t, won’t. That is life.YOU’RE NOT OLD. As a college graduate, you might feel “old,” but you’re not. You’re one of the youngest people in the workplace. You’re at the very beginning of your career and the opportunities for you are endless. Stop talking about how old you are and just enjoy your life and your youth — because your youth is very much still alive. Live more and laugh more. Life is short. Enjoy it.
I'm not sure what to do with my life?
This is not a depression note. It is a note of confusion. At this stage in my high school career (senior) I have no idea what I want to do. I fear that I will never decide on an occupation that suits me. I fear there is no job out there that I can ever be truly passionate about. Is this true? Will I always be just a hard-working stiff? This is not the only problem I am having. I live in a very religous community. However, despite all the tugs and pulls of the christian baptist extremists of which some of whom I call friends, I have not developed the same radical ideals as they. The only thing is, Im not quite sure what my own beliefs consist of. And what's worse, I dont know how to come up with my own. I know it sounds easy, but I can never decide upon certain issues to decide where I stand. How can I come up with them? Thank you for taking the time to help me with this. I truly appreciate it.
What am I doing with my life?
Sounds like you’re probably avoiding something scary, like responsibility or risk. So you “go into the fog” mentally. The fog is a sleepy wandering, keeping your eyes turned away from what you’re afraid of and letting yourself daydream.I bet you got into your situation because someone made you be there, or because you thought you had to, right? You didn’t really choose this path for your life, you aren’t called to it, you’re pushed into it. That seems likely, anyway. So if it’s not really yours — if you don’t own the direction or destination — it’s easy to get distracted, especially if there’s something that makes you uncomfortable on that road.You’re young. Young people tend to be famous for drifting. Not always, but it’s common. The luxury of youth is to believe that you have unlimited time and so it can be wasted. But there’s no satisfaction in that. There’s no joy in avoidance, there’s no growth in treading water just because you’re too scared to drown.You have to own your own direction in life if you’re going to be satisfied: your compass heading has to be lined up with something that rings true to you. And, you have to be somewhat awake to know what rings true, you have to be paying attention.Most of all, you need to be willing to act — to be brave. There’s nothing worse than wasting your life, you only get one. You waste your life by letting fear run the show. Or by being asleep so you can’t tell which direction is worth going. Either way, you waste your life.
