Sometimes I feel really bad about growing up. In the last two months or so, I have been hardly depressed about growing. My sister just turned to 18, and moved out of the house, and it wont take many years til im in the same possition. Is it normal to feel down about getting older? Im turning 14 now, and it just doesnt feel right when I imagine about the pass how it feels like yesterday when I started the school. Im usually a strong person, but now suddenly I feel more bad than I have ever felt? Is this normal to feel in this age?

You don't have to be depressed. Instead, be happy because you can experienced more new things in the next stage as a human. Weather you like it or not your growing up because it's a natural process. Since it's natural,you can't do nothing to it unless if you no longer exist.

I felt the same at your age. I felt like when the time came for me to grow up that I wouldn't be ready for college or moving out or anything like that. Now that I'm older though it doesn't seem so bad and I feel like I had just the right amount of time.
Realistically, you've still got plenty of time left to experience being a kid. Don't stress about it and instead enjoy every moment. When the time comes to grow up you will be ready, I'm sure. (:

my best advice is to live your younger years the best you can.everyone will go through what your feeling.

i even have that feeling, but the only thing that we could do is to adjust ourselves with the reality that it is happening. you don't have to be depressed with this fact! since it is unavoidable., as much as life is concern, Age does not matter, you could still do the things that you want. so bear with it!

Sometimes I feel the same - but its just growing up and finding our way. Then the hormones and stuff and yikes == I try and be cool and chilled have my friends stuff to do -- you know the deal - and last week just a crap day at school I get home and Mum is like great my older bro is home starts joking about great -- me I just started crying -- no great reason just like Dad says the hormones - life --

Take care bro

I'll be 18 on Sunday. I really can relate to you about the sadness of growing up. I watched my brother grow up before me, (he's 26) with 2 children. Man, how time truly does fly past us. I get depressed more than most people know because I don't want my time here to be cut short with all the people I love.

(Grey's Anatomy really doesn't help much..ha)

I hope that you can remember to just live in the moment. It wasn't but just a few years ago I was 14 and never would have imagined being where I am now. Life is a crazy thing..

This is a common feeling among people as they start to put life into its proper perspective. Something that has helped me is try to focus on the present. In feeling these things, you are basing your current and future problems and situations on the past. You're focus is "where did the time go?" Instead of missing the past or freaking out about the future, focus on what's going on right now. A nice exercise you can do is to write down everything you sense with your five senses. Do this every day and it should make the transition easier.

I find that I am not depressed just nervous, I turn 18 in December and I just find myself thinking it'll be strange living on my own.

Growing up—negotiating a path between independence and reliance on others—is a tough business. It creates stress, and it can create serious depression
