Lean On My Shoulder / 16 going on 60
« on: September 18, 2013, 04:52:21 PM »
Okay, that's an exaggeration. But I do feel really old compared to my fellow high-schoolers. I don't know if it's because I'm more mature than them or if I just isolate myself because I'm not "good enough". When I look in the mirror, I don't see a 16-year-old; I see a spinster-in-training. What frustrates me even more is that people tell me how immature I am when they don't know what's going on in my head. I'm bipolar, but I keep the depressing thoughts to myself. Oh, I have no filter because I make dirty jokes? Believe me, I hold back quite a lot.
Any advice on being happy in the current moment?

I guess I might as well have chocolate for breakfast if cereal has the same effect on my body. All joking aside, this new info is pretty upsetting since my alternative to cereal is always fruit, which (once again) has the same dang effect as sweets. It's even worse to think about how much pasta my family eats. I'm now imagining us stuffing our faces with plates of candy. Yuck. I'm only 16, so I don't have that much of a say when it comes to what foods are in the house (it's not my money paying for the groceries after all). That's not to say that my parents don't try. Is there anything I could say to help point them in a healthier direction when it comes to buying food?

I freaked out when my doctor said I have high cholesterol. My first thought was "I'm 16 for crying out loud! I'm too young to be old!" In retrospect, I'm not sure if I should bother focusing on this issue (if it even is a issue) before I'm down to a healthier weight. Overall I'm just confused about what to do since I don't have much control over the food in my house; it's not my money that buys the groceries  :/
