Teens: What Are The Most Important Issues In Your Life?

<p>Teen</p>

<ol>
<li>Figuring out my first semester of college so I'm not overwhelmed in 2 months</li>
<li>Having fun this summer, hanging out with friends before Thanksgiving, maybe getting a girl (but somehow the girls I start to like are already taken)</li>
<li>Making enough cash to buy the stuff I want and to have enough to spend during the year (my parents just told me that I'm paying for my whole computer instead of half, so I need more money)</li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>the guy i like - when will i be ready to tell him i like him as more than just my friend?</li>
<li>my (former) friends - did they change or did i? should we even try to salvage or friendships? (it's so uncomfortable now...i'm bored with them, as they were with me many months ago...but now the table's turned).</li>
<li>is my novel going to be the next "american novel"? not a fad, but a classic?</li>
<li>college (school in general)...academic achievement used to be priority, but look where's it gotten me so far: few friends left, no guy, waning (but now on the rise) confidence. i did get into a pretty good school and enough money to pay my half for the first two years...but was there a way i could have had it all?</li>
<li>why can't i read anymore (for fun)? i watch countless movies (1-2 a day), but can't even concentrate on them from start to finish...must always pause or fall asleep...</li>
<li>when's he going to be home? i miss him and don't want to seem desperate...</li>
<li>number stations - when will i solve one?</li>
</ol>

<p>Top three challenges right now:
1) Getting my illiterate valkyrie to the Amulet of Yendor.
2) I have to pee.
3) That is all.</p>

<p>Kenshinsan: yes, I'm serious, but it isn't something that you just know. My self-wondering doesn't come from an inability to reel in the ladies, but rather from an inherent attraction to guys; it's not nearly as simple as just "knowing," because sometimes one is attracted to a sex and the next moment not. I know many teens face this issue.</p>

<p>wuwei: I hear you on #3 and 5.</p>
