I noticed that I do everything depending on making someone happy. I mean everything. The two things that I actually know that I want is love and a decent job for a good start at life. I don't really know what else to do except doing what others want. I think I need help or maybe I'm just over reacting.

When you're a kid living at home, your entire life is centered on making your parents happy with good grades, good behavior, good attitudes, etc. Meanwhile, they love you unconditionally. It's only when you leave home for the military or college or to start your own life with a job and in your own apartment that you begin to realize there is only you now, no one who loves you just because you are you, and you're not sure how to make yourself happy.

Do you have any idea of what you want to do after high school?

I'm planning on going to college to be a sociologist. Still, I'm 17 and I have had a job for a long time. My family doesn't show much affection or appreciation for what I've done, actually they show the opposite. I'm actually kind of lonely.

Do you have friends in schools or in the neighborhood?

Not really.. no one that's really close. I've been a loner forever basically. I don't really have anyone to talk to so I ask anything I don't know or if I need help on here. I would get a counselor, but I think that it is so absolutely horrible to have to pay someone to help someone even if you like helping people and want it as a career.

Where will the sociologist career take you?

I'm a counselor. I'll talk with you for free. :)

I don't know where to go from their. The only thing I'm 100% sure of is that I want to find love. I don't exactly know what to do with my life...

Do you have a college picked out, or have you been accepted to one already?

Not really. I don't even know where I want to go or where I want to live. I might get kicked out when I turn 18 and have to move in with my friend in Wyoming.

You're 17 and want to be a sociologist, but have no plan. What's your home situation like?
