Question: Is it bad/wrong l dont want to live as an old person? l want to die before l turn 60?
l am 16 years old. l have had many bad experiences in life l dont like people and they dont like me. l dont like living even now especially being in highschool which practically makes me feel suicidal. l cannot even imagine being all old and wrinkly espcially with my ugly face sagging and barely being able to do anything. l plan to see how life goes and want to die/probably commit suicide like at the age of 42. l also dont want to be in those nursery homes with other cranky old folks just taking meds and turning crazy and l would hate to see young people having fun especially since l have anxiety and cant enjoy life normally. is it normal to not want to live as an old person? does anyone else feel the same?

It isn't bad or wrong, nor is it normal or abnormal. Normal is whatever feels right for you, not by society's hypocritical standards. There are plenty of other people out there who think the same way, but there are also those who don't.
Personally, I don't see myself living past the age of 40. If circumstances don't take me by then, if I don't die of natural causes or get hit by a bus or something, I'll simply commit suicide. My reasons are similar to yours, so I do see where you're coming from. For me it isn't a fear of becoming old, it's just a fear of not...though that really doesn't make any sense so i'll shut up now.
So no, it isn't bad or wrong. It's your life, you have every right to decide your fate. Just as long as you don't alter your age limit to tomorrow's.



a lot of people are afraid of being older, but the fact that you seem to be hopeless and want to commit suicide isn't normal. high school can seem like an endless hell for many, but you have to realize you can go anywhere afterward, and find somewhere where you are happy. you're anxiety seems to also include depression, and i'd recommend to go see a doctor to get help and possibly medication



I am over 60 and still kicking. Enjoy your life, look around and you will see others are in a lot worse shape and are homeless, hungry, sick, poor, broke, uneducated, and disabled. They do not think of dying but think of how they can survive another day. So cheer up and get some help.

anti depressants really do work. been there.



Nah that ain't wrong I feel like that sumtime, but if u don't wanna look all wrinkly u can always get surgery to make yourself looks younger.



how cares what people say about you it is your life they just o that to me mean just live your life to the fullest how you want!

You need a pet.



It's not bad but 60 isn't old nowardays



It's gonna be ok



I'm not even sure wanting to live old is normal. I am 24 and i know i don't want to make it past being 50. I figure 50 is a good age to die since your still mobile depending on how you exercise and stuff. I know what you mean about hating people, I hated people pretty much my whole life i wouldn't say hate more like i just didn't care enough for them. In high school and middle school I pretty much didn't speak to anyone although they wanted to speak to me or talk to me I guess i mostly stuck to myself and one or two close friends. After that i joined the army and really still didn't speak to anyone, from what i hear people are afraid to talk to me, not that it really matters. I've thought the same thing about the nursery home. I recommend xanax for anxiety, talk to a doctor.



Instead of committing suicide, you should just get to be around that age and start living the crazy life - bungee jumping, spending all your money, spending late nights in the dangerous parts of town, hanging with drug dealers, driving around a lot, and see where it gets you.
But at the same time - I have felt like that - and honestly, i think when we finally get around to being old - we're still going to love life - it will just be a little different - not so much fun, but i dont think we're going to want to die just because we've gotten older and uglier and slower. Hopefully we'll have families who still love us and we'll want to stick around to see them grow up.
