I've been thinking about it recently. I've come to realise how petrified I am of my future. Im finishing high school and I have no clue what I want to do in life or where it will take me or what will happen to my parents or my sister....

Naw I think the future brings hope

[gerbz]

I figure if you're scared of the future, then what is your reason for living today? I always thought live every day like it's your last.. Simple as that!

Naw I think the future brings hope

From a realistic point of view it's hard for me to see that =/
With nuclear weapons pointing towards the sky and with every day bringing more articles about the decline of our climate or education or health...Maybe it's all in my head

I do have hope and thats my reason for living...however hope often fails to bring about..reality

[gerbz]

At this poitn and time, those things don't directly affect that way we live our lives. My best advice was to try and blank all the bullshit and stories that the media present in front of your eyes. If the news will sell they will always have stupid stories to scare people out of living their own lives. I'm 18 with a year and a half old daughter, you don't think I was scared at 16 with a kid? I definitely was, but look at me now, making 6 digit salary/year. I'm just confident and pushy..

Im sorry if I seem to be offensive but you're 18, you have a daugher and you make a 6 digit salary..what are you doing on a site like codex? I suppose how do you find the time would be an appropriate question as well.

[the_hitman]

Sorry this is kind off topic but what are you doing on codex if u have a kid and ur making a 6 digit salary?

[foogie]

thats deep man, and i sympathize with that, bein 17 turnin 18, onna be goin to college soon, i wanna become a doctor but who knows what the future will bring, and what will happen to my family? future can be scary to think about, thats why i just live life for the present

[Kitchwa]

I'm not scared of my future because i already have my goals for life planned . However i am scared that i may be held back in year 8 this year because i haven't done very good . Thats why for the last 13 weeks of school i have left im going to pull my tail out and make sure i don't get held back .

Don't be afraid. Things usually have a tendency to work out okay. You'll worry about them constantly beforehand and then... once they get there you just think... what the hell did I put that much stress in it for?! Haha, that's how I was for college. And I'm thinking as I'm taking my classes that this really isn't too hard. I was scared of college too but you've just gotta move forward. It's worth it, I promise

[sockopen]

Live life by the minute, who cares what's going to happen tomorrow, opportunities arise; no need to stress yourself out.

[dolphinbomb]

I am incredibly afraid of my future.. but for reasons I don't feel comfortable disclosing

[ascend]

I'm a wimp, I'm afraid of the future

I'm afraid of global warming
I'm afraid on the final exam we'll be taking several months from now

etc. etc. etc.

Yep, I'm actually afraid of many things.

[Christopher Robin]

I'm afraid of the bad things that COULD come, but I look forward to it... I voted yes, but I still prefer to go on...

[Justin]

I'm afraid of the future. Mainly because I have no idea whats gonna happen.

Not with spelling, grammar, and punctuation mistakes like that, they won't.

You asked me to reply to this because of my religious nature.

I am not afraid in the least bit about my future. There have been many instances in my past where I have been involved in some stupid activity that I wished I could get out of and I simply prayed to God that he help me, and somehow and in some way, a door opened which made things so easy. Everything was taken care of for me. This is just one instance out of a thousand that I can bring up. But the point is, that God always takes care of you. In the area of school and tests, I follow this philosophy: "Try your best and leave it to God for the rest" - It has taken me so far .

I would say to not be afraid of your future at all. Hindsight is 20/20 and therefore you can see all that has happened to you. If you look back, nothing too bad has happened, and if it has, it has probably turned out for the best this way or will do so soon. If you were fearing through that, you would look now and think you were stupid for worrying so much. This is the case you will be in in a few years when you look at yourself now. So dont worry at all , there is no need to.

If you are worried about your parents' lives, thats normal but to the extent that when they step outside the house you are worried if they will come back alive, is not. You have to understand that you cant live worried like that. Soon, you will start to worry so much that you cant breathe. You just have to accept that every person will die at some point in time. Although we treat it like something uncertain, it is very certain that every soul will taste death. Now you have to accept that when that soul tastes death, it was that soul's time and it was decreed by God that he/she should conclude his test at that time. Understand that God is the Most Beneficient and whatever He does is good and therefore it is for the best for everyone. We may not understand everything that God does and that is completely normal. It is not for us to understand since the moment that you accept that humans are limited in some way or form (which you must or you are crazy) then you accept that God's actions may be difficult for us to understand sometimes.

My advice to you is just have faith that God will protect you and let Him be sufficient for you .

I'm actually quite afraid of my future. Every time the phone rings I think it's the police calling me to question me about many illegal things I've done on the internet. I believe I've done so much wrong-doing to people over the internet (people from codex about 3 years ago will know what I mean) I think that 'God' or 'Jesus' wont protect me when I feel in danger.

Though I'm not afraid to die, I do believe that I could die at any moment, leaving many unfinished things I want to do in my lifespan. I guess the thought of not knowing what could happen 10 minutes from now makes me afraid. I just play life as it's dealt to me.

[Hydrogen]

I think that 'God' or 'Jesus' wont protect me when I feel in danger.

My personal opinion to that statement is that if you believe that then I think you dont fully understand the nature of God. I don't believe that Jesus, peace be upon him, is god, but just a really great Prophet of God, and so I doubt that he could protect you even if he wanted. Only God can protect. One of his 99 names is Al-Muhaymin which means The Protector.

I'm not too afraid of the future. I'm afraid that maybe I won't make it to my dream job and become a hobo...but that won't happen

[iargue]

Why, becasue I dont care how my spelling, grammer, and punctuation looks on a forum? This isnt a job interview, so it doesnt really matter.
