Posts from Guys, I'm having a problem =(

I'm still a schoolboy, only in 8th grade, and I'm terribly unhappy with my life. It's not that I dislike everything; I certainly have interests, friends, and favorite activities. But on the other side of the scale, there's a much heavier burden. First and foremost, it's school, of course. Many, especially adults, will just laugh at these words. And indeed, it sounds funny. They overload me with lessons, most of which are completely unnecessary (except for a few specific subjects), and I spend a lot of time on them. I have a weak will, I'm a terrible slacker, and I really want to spend all day doing my own things, but because of the lessons, because of a bunch of extracurricular activities (one or two per day), because of the distance learning math course that my parents are forcing me to take, I don't have any time at all.

"The meaning of life is to live it beautifully and die at the end of the road."

There is meaning in living beautifully, but again, the beauty is overshadowed by all sorts of worries. It was good in kindergarten. Spending all day doing silly things, without worrying about anything. But 8 years have passed. For now, I don't see the point in living.
Adults say that school age is the best time of life. However, I can't understand where the "best" is, where the "time" is, and where "life" is. If I feel so bad now, what will it be like when I grow up? It's scary to think about. Some will say that you need to study well now to have a good life in the future. Let's say I studied, got a higher education, and a high-paying job, but why? The more money they give you, the more you have to work. And again, there will be no time to satisfy spiritual needs. And if I didn't study well and didn't find a decent job, then there seems to be a lot of time, but how should I spend it? My needs are expensive, but I don't have any money.
Some will say that you need to live for someone else. Adults have children, husbands, and wives. And even teenagers have girlfriends and boyfriends (unfortunately, I don't have a girlfriend yet, and I never have. Maybe that's why I don't understand). And you need to live for your descendants. So that they end up in the same situation of searching for the meaning of life? So that they have more burdens than pleasures?
Maybe the meaning of life is in searching for the meaning of life? And what about the meaning itself? So that, when dying, you find this meaning and, before death, regret that you have been striving for the wrong thing all your life?
Some believe that a person is a link in the improvement of humanity. But why improve it? If there is no meaning in living? Otherwise, it will be a vicious circle.
Conclusion: there is no meaning in life.
Perhaps I was even terribly selfish. Perhaps there are flaws in my logic.
P.S. I haven't found the meaning of life for myself; I don't know what it is for others.

P.S. I'm not going to commit suicide)) I guess I'll have to live with the false meaning of life, which is searching for the meaning of life.

but because of lessons, because of a bunch of extracurricular activities (one or two per day)

it wouldn't hurt to work at the factory at night too, otherwise I see you're getting a bit spoiled.

So, what should we do? How should we live?

Loken just missed me a lot and decided to do something so that I would come back ^^
Loken, hello :*

Actually, not much has changed since then, except that I've become more relaxed about it. I still don't have a meaning in life. I'm given a lot, many would envy my existence, but I HAVE SO LITTLE!!11111
That's what kind of a jerk I am.

I'll let you in on a secret, pup, school age is the worst time of your life.

I don't care which time is the worst; I'll have to live in it anyway.
And many adults say the opposite, that it's the best time of life.
Whatever.
I might go to sleep.
Or I don't know what.
Bye, Loki =*

The second truth is that happiness is not found in consumption, little wolf.

School is better than an internship. There were no exam sessions or other important weeks in school.

Let me tell you a secret, pup, school age is the worst time in life.

By the way, my mother says the same thing. I don't know about the worst time, but in any case, I like university much more.

There is nothing good about school except for the possibility of making a few true friends. The body changes, parents become stricter and brainwash more, going to school every day is like going to work, doing homework, hating the world around you, and thinking of yourself as the only smart person, suffering from envy towards classmates with better phones or computers - yes, it's a heavy burden.
It's understandable that adults, who have a boss constantly breathing down their necks, might sometimes sigh about the "good old days" when they were fed and clothed, and when they only studied at school for half a day, but that's all nonsense. Would you want to go back to being one and a half years old, with soiled diapers and unlimited parental adoration?

Would you like to go back a year and a half, to soiled underwear and boundless parental adoration?

But you don't have to do anything, and you have everything.

The meaning of life is to live, and happiness should be found within oneself, not externally! Enjoy every period of your life; they are all good in their own way :smile13:

What is all this? A ball, a glass of milk, and building blocks. I'd rather go to Japan.

What's all this? A ball, a cup of milk, and building blocks. I'd rather go to Japan.

At this age, that's all you really need.

Enjoy every period of your life; they are all good in their own way.

These are the only words one can agree with here.
