Leaving school depression?
Hello all.
Obviously, i've been lurking these forums for a while, just reading up, i love knowing i'm not alone in this battle, for an awesome ATAR.. but i've registered to get some feedback..
Although the HSC has been a major stress to me and everyone, and we all can't wait to feel it disappear when it's all over, but i am really confused and actually, quite depressed in day to day life as i look into the future, so i have posted here as maybe some of you can relate, you are all obviously intellegent people and undergo the same lifestyle of just study study study.
I'll get straight to it. I do not wan't to grow up.
i have recently turned 18 and lfie has appeared so dull, not that the environment i'm in is dull (i've got all i want/need, plenty of friends, plenty of sex ect...) but just my mind, makes everything seem so bland.
Just knowing that, i'm never going to be a kid again, and lfie just gets more serious from here on. Leaving school, a place where you can hit on girls every day, study with friends, socialise and have authority over you. It's a fun thing, and i'm going to miss days so much like this.
University seems fun, but just not the same.
Honestly, does anyone else not want to leave school so much? Does anyone else really getd epressed when thinking about growing up?
I seriously get so ill about it, i lose sleep, i get depressed as a molocule, i'd rather do the HSC every year for the rest of my life then go grow up.
Honestly, it sucks. I'm 18, i can no longer drink alchahol illegally, it used to be so fun knowing it was illegal, now its fucking shit. Everything will be the same.. i don't want to drive places, i don't want to 'learn independantly' , i don't want to get a job (i'll be a programmer, the best there ever was) and program, and earn money for what.
I just want to be a kid, life is so much better as a kid, and sorry for this post if it's just stupid, it's just i've been sitting here for 3 hours , unable to study, staring at a wall thinkinbg about how awesome my childhood has been and how i'm never ever going to sit down and play a sega and think it was the best thing ever, i'll never appreciate 2d graphics ( unless i'm programming the games myself), i'll be old, being 19, i won;t be surrounded by 14 year old girls desperate to lose their virginity, i've actually had my love story, it was good, but now what, i've got nothing to look forward to in life, i know i'm going to be wealthy and have friends.
sorry , i've just dumped all my emotions on this stupid board, fuck i'm going to miss school and being a kid.
Now must prepare for the rage.
thanks for reading i guess.

Re: Leaving school depression?
i'm not scared or nervous, it's just we're all moving on, into real life..
It just doesn't seem that much fun, no more time to get away with anything..

Re: Leaving school depression?
I've heard that if you like school, you're gonna hate uni.
On the other hand, if you hate school (like me), you'll love uni.
Just 'cause you've become an adult, doesn't mean you can't have fun.
Oh and I want to have the freedom (and responsibilities) that you get at uni/moving out. Can't fucking wait.

Like I think about, which uni, how will i get there, will i know anyone there, will they have a biscuit stand... etc etc.
So i know what you mean by you don't want to move on.
I actually think a lot about that too. It's just the biggest thing that I'm sorta nervous about is finishing school, and then starting Uni.

Re: Leaving school depression?
I don't really hate school, but I dont really like it either. Just the experience and the benefits about being at school
Re: Leaving school depression?
it's half-exciting, half-depressing.
it'll be good to move on to the next phase of my life, but to leave a period of my life which has been really enjoyable is not a great feeling at all. definitely will miss being spoon fed.

Re: Leaving school depression?
Finishing school and starting uni is nothing to be scared of. If you know what you are doing, well prepared, you are going to have an awesome time.
If you think school life was fun and you are going to miss it, wait till you experience and live University Life

Re: Leaving school depression?
i hate school so much. If it is possible, I would make some kind of contract with devil so that I can finish school RIGHT NOW and get about 1 or 2 less ATAR than what I would get if I continued.

Re: Leaving school depression?
I left school in year 5 and never went back, some people say i've missed the best part of my life but honestly i think i've i've missed the worst part of my life. I spent most of my late primary school and early high school days doing whatever the hell i wanted, just being a kid. Now the end of the last two years of study is bearing down on me, i feel like i want to go back there so much and do it all again. The thing is, there is so much more in life to do, yeah our childhood is over but hey, we can travel, experience new things. Just don't do what is expected of you, do something that challenges everything you've ever known.

... and that's only preliminary.
hehe. I'd do it for the ATAR to qualify into the course at university... ^_^ That's all we're there for.
I can't wait! ^^ Freedom and liberation awaits! *strips down to bare essentials and spins around the room*
I would like to be finished soon

Re: Leaving school depression?
Just because you're 30 (for example), doesn't mean that you can't go home after work and game your brains out on Nintendo or XBOX or something. My cousin does that after a day at his surgery haha.
You might not experience that first time thrill, because you've done it before, but you can't renew that; this being said there are so many other new experiences to be had in adult life I reckon.
The point is, life here in this capitalistic society just gets more stressing. But we all manage, somehow. Chin up.
Not really true. I reckon it's the 'idea' of going to uni that freaks you out, and your 'idea' of being a kid, in comparison. You're physically growing up, and society demands that you perform according to your age.
