I think most people are like this, right? I know I was... for so many years trying to fit in. It's exhausting! And, the high school kids are stretching themselves so thin, have so much anxiety and depression, and probably aren't really that happy but they are swimming and trying not to sink!

My HS senior didn't get into any university in our state (CA) with a 4.2. She stressed over classes for 4 years, it was so disheartening. And, she didn't know what she wanted to do either.

Gosh, this got so long! LOL So thought provoking, Eunice!! You are a wise young woman :)
