I'm 19 (I know I'm young but please save that whole, 'you have your whole life ahead of you') and since I can remember I don't know what to with my life. I don't know what I want. I don't even know what makes me happy. I try to take one day at a time but it's just been so insanely painfully repetitive, I'm just wasting my life away. 

I don't really do anything besides school, but I've just been coasting it, one or two maybe three classes a term. I'm tired of going to school and wasting my days. I've just wanted to stop going to school but i don't have the heart to quit because my family really wants me to go (i'm the first in my family to go to college) but sadly it's just not what i want, at least not right now and for the life of me i can't seem to get them to understand it. I do want to go and finish college but not right now, but my family really doesn't understand. So, i'm stuck in school unhappy. 

For a while I wanted to join the military, either the army or the air force, but my WHOLE family threated to disown me if i did, so i kinda let that go (i needed some of my parent's info to get a specific military occupation i wanted but they wouldn't give it so i didn't sign because the other jobs were crap). 

I want a damn change in my life but i don't even know where to start. I don't know what to do. I'm to the point where I feel like i'm trapped in my own skin, i just want to rip off my skin and maybe hopefully then i'll feel so relief, but i know that's just my insanity speaking. I'm wasting away. I don't know what to do. I need help.

    transfer schools. go to school farther from home than you are. it might help you figure out what you want and it'll give you some sort of independence. I know you said not to but you are young and you do have time to figure things out but you have to make a decision for just you and no one else. I really hope this helps cause it's what worked for me. you may hurt some people in the process but if you think about it you'll hurt a lot more than just your family if you don't do what you need to do for yourself. you can't always live for someone else you've gotta live for you once in awhile

    So you want to join the military and your parents want you to go to school. join the army or airforce as an officer. you'll go to school and come out with atleast a bachelors and be an officer in the military. witch be the way is 1000 times better then being enlisted in the military.

    or you could just join the reserves so you can go to school and one weekend a month 2 weeks a year you'll be a soldier and you'll get all your school pyed for with both these options
