Is it normal to feel purposeless?

I too am about to start my senior year and I kinda know what you mean. I do know what I want to do with my life, so maybe I'm one little step ahead of you, maybe not. I still feel like I can't make it one more year, even though I've done well the past three years and even though people tell me this is supposed to be the best year. I have a bad feeling it will be the worst, maybe not academically but probably personally. I guess we both just have to wait till college where we'll be around a more diverse group of people who we don't know and where we can get a fresh start. Then take it from there.

You define your own purpose in the world.

It will get better! Go to college and then you will see how much better it can get! And there's not so many immature 'retards'

I felt that way in high school too. Right now, you're trapped in the artificial high school world but the real world is so much bigger and filled with different kinds of people and opportunities. It will get better, I promise :)

you have to understand that everybody is purposeless. there is no reason to live, other than to procreat. BUT as humans we possess the intelligence required to convince ouselves that we need a purpose. this intelligence also allows us to enjoy life and adjust it so it fits our needs. my advice would be to finish HS as well as you can. it will give you more options later in life if you do well now. whatever people think, your high school years are not the best years of your life so you're not wasting them. society says finish high school, so its best to just keep quiet for now and finish it. its only another year.
i dont know if everyone feels like this but i know i did until i realised that i can actually do whatever i want and i dont NEED to fit in with the ideal of job wife house kids retire die. review your situation after HS, just put up with the crappy friends and stuff for now. with a positive attidude towards the future you will start to feel better in no time.

Live your life the way you want, set your own goals and pursue them. You can ask yourself a simple question; "What do I want to do and where I want to be in 15 years?"

High School is always terrible, and the people around you are stupid and shallow because they're inexperienced. (Anyone who tells you otherwise is completely deluded.) Just stick it out until you graduate, then you can move on to college.

I won't lie, the feeling of purposelessness doesn't end at college. The only thing that changes is the increase in freedom, the ability to meet more like minded people, and a greater sense of accomplishment. People don't always get more mature in college either. You still will probably meet the same stupid shallow jerks, but you will also have the chance meet some interesting people as well.

Just find something that you enjoy, and try to base a career off of it. You don't have to take a four year degree course if it's not required for your career, but it doesn't hurt.

Don't worry about not having enough fun in your youth. Many media outlets like to romanticize youth, and portray it as something completely different than what it really is. Life isn't a constant party in reality.

I feel ya! You should find some new friends or get a hobbie. It WILL get better.
