Really, it just makes me feel so stupid sometimes, I feel like crying. I'm not the smartest, and will never be the straight A student. I'm talking to her now and she asked "Okay, so you need to decide what you want to do with your life. Go into something with animals, or the computer. We'll have to talk about it later. "Okay..."
I don't know what to say to her. I'm 14 years old, by gosh. I still have a few years to decide what I want to do; and it should be ***MY*** decsions, not anyone elses. Just lay off about it. My parents don't even bug me this much about it, and I would think they would be the ones who would care the most.
I hate it when people try to tell you to decide now. It's like they all stress that if you don't choose what you want to do by the time you graduate, that's the end of your life and you have no other choice. NOT TRUE. Lots of my friends still haven't decided what to do and our counsellor stresses that they have time to decide after high school. It's not the end of it anyways, it's only the beginning. There are always night classes if you decide to go into something else that requires a course that you never took in highschool. Don't listen to her..you have plenty of time to find something you like. Our counsellor told us that the average person changes careers 6 times in their life. You don't need to choose one solid career for the rest of your life at your age.
