Help: I Am 18 Today And I Am Not Happy by Otisker(m): 1:39pm On Oct 09, 2020 |
Wish me a happy birthday. I am officially an adult today but am not excited because I have had the privilege of being in this forum and I have read wild across the internet since I was around 12 which made me realize that adult life is not easy. I am scared of the future. I have acquired much knowledge that is beyond my age such that those knowledge are now becoming harmful to me. Sometimes when I speak among people especially my villagers they think am crazy. My emotion is even getting messed up because I worry a lot about things people my age mates wouldn't think of. For example, I have read the 48 laws of power and am always consciously keeping my behaviours in check even in trivial situations and I always feel bad when I make a mistake in checking my behaviour. My latest problem now is my relationship. I am dating a minor, a girl of 15. Normally people that are my age don't don't who a minor is, they don't it is a crime to have sex with a minor since the person is not old enough to make important decisions but I do. Now, I can't convince my self to have sex with her and at the same time I am scared because I know I will be deeply hurt if another careless person takes her virginity. I am also aware of the psychological effect that will make a girl stick with the person that took her virginity. All these and many more which I am unable to type here are making me an unhappy person and causing my pursuit of education to slacken. I wish I was never exposed to mobile phones and the internet at such an early stage. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Otisker: Your greatest mistake is reading that book 48 laws of power. But I sense you must be an intelligent person. Only advice to you is to calm down and take things easy, go and learn a skill, not I.T based but vocation like handwork. Quit reading books on character development for now. And honest truth is your calibre of person shouldn't date, and if at all you do you must be age mates or a bit older than you which you based on culture and general belief might not like, so it's better you avoid it. BUT TRUST ME YOU'LL BE FINE JUST DON'T RUSH THINGS. 3 Likes |

Struggled to get your point exactly, at 18 you should be very conscious of self development, getting a skill and furthering your schooling, and not sex, relationship which ends in premium tears.... Happy Birthday Op 6 Likes |

I was once like you bro. I was always cautious of what people will say or think of my actions and inactions. You need to Stop judging everything you do. Yes you’re now 18, but you’re still a kid with a lot to learn in life. You’ll make a lot of mistakes You’ll fail in certain things You’ll learn I learn to see social media for what it is! Most times my position on issues on here is not what I feel in real life. Most people here are just chasing clout. Never take them too serious Truth is at 18, you’ll find it hard to date a girl of your age. Most 18yo’s are after guys of 21-30. The closest you can get is a classmate. Learn a skill Be street wise Read extensively, but with caution. Get involved in your local church ( this night sound odd but I’ve come to realize that people who do, receive a special kind of blessing TBH) Understand that there is never a perfect life. Dedicate most of your time now learning things that will bring money, more money, extra money and you’ll be glad you did later in life. Note: Most people in Nigeria are not happy including myself. 12 Likes |

You are now an adult, 15, 16 are meant to date themselves, 18 are meant to date 18 up, if you sleep with her its statutory rape she is still a kid. Just leave her and go Bleep a person older than 18 or a cougar 3 Likes |

Op....forget about dating for now , dating is not a crime but most people attach it with sex so I'll advice you to stay away. At your age it is not a crime to be single. As others have said earlier focus on building yourself. You can achieve this by relating with people older than you. Find something you are interested in and become a pro at it. 3 Likes |

To those saying I avoid sexual pleasures, I appreciate I only think it will be interesting if I have sexual adventures now so I can remember and talk about them in the future when I am older but it seems I will give up since the result is becoming the opposite of what I expected. I actually thought it will be fun. |

You're trying to take in all of life in one go. At 18 you're officially an adult..... in relationships you're either a minor or an adult... 18 or 81 doesn't make a difference if you sleep with a minor... it's statuary rape. If you're more matured than your age then you should have no problem having gf your age or a bit older. Yes... you been diving into books for knowledge......but are you street smart? It is part of man to be social.... physically social.... to socialize with others face to face. If not...mm life will then be really frustrating. Do not let fear be part of your life..... fear of the unknown.... what is goingbto hecome of you next year?... will there be a civil war? Face life one day at a time. 3 Likes 1 Share |

I have been in your shoe for a long time when I worried over practically everything I worried about my life my health academics I worried about my life because I was scared I will die Young because I'm a warrior but thank God for self discipline I've put all my worries beside now and I have learnt to live I'm still worried about my future although but I set is short-term and long-term goal which I have been working on and I can see have been progressing you still have time ahead of you but did not depart from what you have learnt. You are right to be worried oo especially if you don't have anyone to depends on |
