Is it normal to be totally confused?!
Question: Im 16 and totally messed up! I can never make up my mind about things, eg i decide n a career but then suddenly go of it completley and think of something new, Then like last year ,for some reason, I thought i was cool, because I lied an told everyone smoked. Now I really wish i hadnt and hate my rep utation now, It seems im always doing things I think are good choices at the time, then really regretting them later. Any advice??

You sound totally normal. A lot of pressure is put on teenagers to decide what their future is going to be before they know who they are themselves.
If you are lying and not being able to control it, or making rash decisions could just be your hormones taking control or it could be a mood/personality disorder that your doctor can help with. I know it sounds a bit out there, but I use to make up all kinds of random cr*p and wonder later 'why did i say/do that?' turns out I have bipolar
Have a chat with your parents or doc and see what they say.
your not messed up :) your a teenager and it is perfectly normal to be undesisive
It's all part of growing up! I think back to some of the things I did when I was 16 that seemed just ssooooooo clever at the time and cringe that I could ever have been so daft!
Don't worry about it, making mistakes is all part of learning about who you are and what is good for you to do and what isn't. All your peers are doing exactly the same, and feeling exactly the same, as you.
You haven't done anything awful - you lied because you thought it made you look cool, so what! You're young, you're allowed to make mistakes. As for your career, one day it'll become clear to you - I'm 53 and I'm STILL not sure what I want to do!
You're a normal teenager - stop worrying and enjoy your youth.
its called being a teenager, we were all the same. things that seem really important and a big deal now will in a few years seem really stupid and you'll wish you hadnt spent so much time worrying about them. just relax and enjoy being young and carefree. how your feeling is completly normal your body is going through a lot of changes and your hormones will be going wild too. believe me i made LOTS of silly mistakes at your age and i dont think about them now i just blame it on my age! relax and enjoy x
ur not weird ur just normal! everyone goes through this at some point in there lives. it would be weird if u didnt go through this. u just have to learn to deal with it. and for the things uve done. just forget about it. ur still in high skool( I think) once u go to college people are gonna be like" Who's that girl or guy" dont worry about it!
cut your hair and get a job hippy!
im 17, thinking of dropping out of sixth form, hate my subjects, was never cool, smoke when drunk but thats it, dislike most of my year as they have no self respect and are all just following each other and the crowd like sheep.
so dont listen to me hahaha.
if i were you id leave them all behind as soon as you can, and either go to a different school or seriously get a job, its what im gonna do.
Everyone's confused, so you're not the only one! =)
