I'm a 28 year old in a high school hell?

[Anticipation]

Everyone has different abilities and are visionaries even when they are 17.

You can see things others sometimes can't,, even in their 50's.

But as for having young adult friends, you may have to wait a year, I think your ability to be a visionary, would mean you have the capacity to understand why waiting another year makes sense.

In the mean time, have fun being 17, don't look at your peers at immature, but instead appreciate who they are.

You'll be able to make mental connections with those 18 and above soon enough.

I imagine if you are 17 going on 28, your body has matured very nicely, but any man who finds you attractive, not realizing that you are 17, could get thrown in jail, even if the relationship is consensual.

There is only so much sand in our hour glass of life, so don't be in too much of a hurry,, embrace being 17 and allow your wisdom to grow. Get a college education.

there's no such thing called mature
Peoples dont be mature by not liking alcohol or knowing things like love etc you kust dont like those stuff but others do because that gives them enjoyment taking alcohol with girls etc most of those guys know what love means more then you you can be sure they had more girlfriends then you you just dont like social interactions because that gets you bored Ima guy that nonstop go to clubs get girls deunk there etc and I think my maturity level is same as yours and if we come to finding peoples have same likes as you you shouldbe friends with the school that have high grades amd dont go to parties etc

I feel like you're describing me to be completely honest. I actually don't submit any questions on here; I just give advice to people who are mostly older than me. I think boyfriends and alcohol are a waste of time at this point in life because you need to focus on setting yourself up for success in case you run into an issue in a relationship. I've always thought my friends were doing things way too soon, like dating or drinking. I've always had a way of knowing the outcome of a situation without experiencing it personally, because I know the results of others' experiences and learn from those instead of learning the hard way. Treasure your intelligence and how much it can change your life, and maybe someone else's life when you spread your wisdom.

It is okay to be mature sometime. You won't do then think. I feel normal to be a bit older. The advantage is a lot for me I can give a proper reason if they invite to anywhere dangerous.

[anmari2001]

just be friendly person and your best, you can't find good friends everywhere
and don't show off with your big knowledge so much

[TheLordofLords]

Honestly I recommend just keeping things the way they are. I know it sucks but hanging out with people your age is a good thing even if they aren't quite on the same maturity level as you. Don't try to make them "grow up" because you shouldn't actively try to change people if they don't necessarily want to yet. The people you click with will come.

You don't and won't have many friends, sometimes you will be defined as weird as the others. But if you really want, all of your friends will be your real and permanent friends. And this why, you are able to find a area and educate yourself. You should use that.

[That2kKid21]

First off I'd like to note that I have a very similar mind to you, I don't participate in parties, drugs, or alcohol in any way. Secondly, I think you could find young adult friends from a nearby gym, or maybe a job (like YMCA counseling, just an idea). Hope that helps.

[lala_ray]

you will be kept apart from the society! although someay think highly of you... you will be all alone... I have been thorough a similar path... but if you really want to socialize with them just start acting like them stupid and immature... in my case I just don't talk with my classmates at all... unless needed... some even wonder if that guy is mute or something... well I have no interest in people who are less mature than me.. that's all.

[shyapples2]

U even sound more mature by talking about it lol I think their are plenty of 17 year olds that are more mature I just don't really know any in my vapid hellhole of a high school because because I don't have any friends in their because half of them are snobby rich brats

[Macy_Mojo]

I can relate to this SO much. I hang out with older people and am constantly giving people advice. high school is hell due to so many people being immature

[Anonymous]

I'm the same. Exactly. When I was 15, I also had the same knowledge as a 35+ year old computer programmer. I struggled to make friends and any time I tried to date, they all wanted that stupid "let's say we are dating, be madly in love and then in 5 minutes be completely over each other"

I just went to work and was fine. I'd say, start your Career.

[Intraluminal]

You're intelligent. It's a curse despite what people say. Unless you work very hard at it, you won't have any friends. Good luck.

[Chanel1981]

I guarantee you lack a LOT of life experience. Just enjoy being 17 :)

[omykb1_one]

different people are everywhere.
HS can be brutal to people not fitting a profile.
do your thing get out of HS and do not worry about their immaturity

[Reddwolf]

hey I'm the right person for you I'll be your friend because I know where you are coming from

[Nahid1234]

It can be hard to find and meet people who are similar to you. Haha.

[jacquesvol]

You're still a minor, meaning you're jailbait for adults.

[luvstoned4him]

All these are very good qualities.

[QueenofCups]

I felt the same way in high school.

[Ganbygail12]

[choomandoo]

[peachblossomluck]
