    It's not only normal but its healthy. You should care enough about your future to be worried about it. I've felt that way most of my life. I even got so scared and hopeless about my future I nearly killed myself when I was 16.

    Unless you have major talent, and put serious focus, effort, dedication, and authenticity into becoming a great rapper or actor, you'll never make it.

    When you find yourself, and what your purpose and passion is, you won't fear the future. You'll be excited about it and anticipate it.

    I found my passion to be helping others heal their emotional wounds.

      i have suicidal thoughts. but i dont have that much bottle plus i dont want my mum to think im selfish.

      i do wonder though why do people do people try and stop you killing yourself ? is life so precious? lifes bloody boring especially seems theres only one cycle people seem to have get married have kids etc. i dont want that. im happy single.

      i know time is short so i just enjoy what i have i suppose. i am grateful sometimes.

      anyway thanks. hopefuly il find my purpose in life someday.

    I think the way the world is at the minute is very troubling for the young and unemployed, but you must remember that it's not supposed to be a permanent thing. Most people these days are in the same boat

    Start doing something with your life then. If you want to be a rapper, and you think you have a chance, then do it! However, have a back up plan just in case :P .

  • Worry/fear is alot like snake venom. The more you think about it the faster your heart beats and the more quickly the venom pervades your system. By worrying for his life the snake victim is ending it.

    Worry is much the same. It cripples you but the less you think about it, the less apparent it becomes.

    So drop the worry and make a year plan for accomplishing your goals. Or fall into apathy.

    I'm a little younger than you and I sometimes worry about my future. I have gone to church a lot and prayed for God to lead me in the right direction. If you will put in the effort, God will put in the effort. Just have faith in him that he will make things better. Your future might not be what you expect but will be better than you imagine.If your not religious now it doesn't mean that you cannot start to be. Or if you don't want to that's your choice. It's nice to have someone to believe in and have hope. Good luck :) Make things happen and never give up. Perseverance is key.

        He's not ignoring you he's listening. He know's what's right for you. Don't give up on your faith. It makes you stronger inside. Maybe join a bible study group. I find it better when I talk about God with other people. I'm not trying to force religion down your throat. I'm a strong believer in God and want to share it with those that lose faith in him.

    People are different. I dont worry about the future because if i worry about the future i wont have time to live for the now. But this doest mean i dont think about it from time to time.

    I'm 19 and in universtity. Sometimes I ask myself whether or not I made the right choices or not, if I'll get a job in 5 years but then I tell myself that it's impossible to predict what the situation will be in 5 years and that I shouldn't worry about that which I cannot influence.

    And then I stop worrying.

    Well, I worry that much too. I'm in my last year of school and this year i got to take some very important Exams and evey grade that I become is importer for that exam. So, it if 'm not good enough I won't have the life that I want and I won't get on the college I want and don't go from this country. So I understand you.
