Accepting the world is unfair was a biggy for me. I still struggle with it, but I have a better understanding as an adult.
What to do about school. I didn’t like high school mostly because I was physically exhausted. I got out early and started Jr. College. Deciding to leave to go away to a large university, with my father pushing me to go, was a big decision.
Leaving for college put stress on my relationship with my boyfriend who I had been dating for years. He was a liar and cheater, and of course that ramped up with me gone. Finally breaking up with im was a traumatic part of my transition from adolescence to adulthood. It was emotionally devasting to me. It affected physically as well for many months. I lashed out at my father for pushing me to go away to school, even though I had loved my time at school. When I returned home after I graduated I became a wreck again being in my hometown, which helped push me to move to a new city and start my life as an adult on my own.
Clarification: I consider my college years to be part of adolescence. I live in another state, and overall I was a very reponsible young women. I didn’t drink or drug, I always went to my classes (although I barely studied, which I regret), I was careful with money, and I worked part of my time while in school. But, I was financially dependent on my parents and not out there with all the responsibilities of adulthood.
