Im Sad, Upset, Scared, and Confused...Please Help?

[JahIsLord]

A day ago I was 17 and I was so happy and now my 18th birthday has come and Im more upset, scared, and confused than I have ever been in my life. Im happy with my life and myself but I just feel sad. Im scared because Im an adult now and I just feel afraid to die. And Im confused because I dont know why Im upset. On my birthday all I wanted to do is stay home with my girlfriend and spend time with her and my friends. Everyone else wants me to go out to a club or a lounge and party. But I dont want to. I never have. I just dont understand a day ago I felt perfect,..and now I feel so alone. I lay down and think about death (not that I want to commit suicide or anything) It wasnt even on my mind until I layed still. And now I feel even worse.

Can anyone give me some really good scriptures about death, growing up, life, or emotions?
Or just some good advice.
I will pray to God and tell him my hearts troubles and ask for guidance as well.
Thank You! God Bless all of you for your thoughts and help!

Being scared of growing up is normal. When we were kids we probably thought that one day we would simply become the men/woman that God wants us to be. The problem we soon find is that we feel no different from when we were kids, we just have more responsibilities. The magical switch that we thought existed as kids doesn't exist, and we feel as scared as a teenager, as we felt as a kid.

I don't fear dieing or death, because I know where I will go when I die. If you serve Jesus, and try to please him daily, even if you fail you should not fear death. The only time you should fear hell is if you don't actively try to pursue a relationship with Jesus.

[SIZE=+4]My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to slip or to be moved; He Who keeps you will not slumber. Psalm 121:2-3[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+4]Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully. 1 Peter 5: 7

[/SIZE][SIZE=+4]Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.] Matthew 11: 28[/SIZE]

King James Bible
Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it

The thing is, we all must face the great unknown. statistics show that one out of one people, die. So the question you must ask yourself is, do you spend enough time each day actively pursueing a relationship with God?

When you are on your death bed, seconds away from eternity. It won't matter how many days you've partied or how much money you own or what achievements you have. It will matter how long you spent each day with God.

God bless you

you're afraid of losing your friends and relationships. are your parents divorced? . . . . . you need to realize that you have no control over what anyone else decides to be to you, and you need to accept that. you can only be a friend to them, and that's all. things will change, and you will lose contact with some people and grow closer to others. from now on choose your friends wisely, set boundaries, and don't be completely dependent on anyone but God.

Can I ask you ,were you thinking I am going to a grown up at 18yrs',and then on the day,you realised you were not ready to be one.
[By the way IGNORE the athiest cynic]
If you realise that growing up takes a very very long timeit might help.
I am a grandmother [young looking one ],have nearly died more than once ,have been poor ,and today I am happier than ever I was since I left home,which for me like you was a shock to my soul.Although my family are large in number ,very noisy and rude often ,they were also interesting ,and innocent ,and when I found out that not all the world was like that, many being cynical,corrupt,and so on ,I had a very bad year,but I went very slowly ,stayed at home reading a lot and eventually went out and about ,and here I am 36 yrs later and jumping around like I was 19yrs ,but happier.
Try to follow your inner voice and not that off the cackling outside,give some private time to God /Jesus,but also to other interesting minds,and all will unfold slowly.

I hope that you are all right ?
Has someone in your family or close to you died recently ?
I have studied many things and most religions,and may be we could talk a little about my extended ideas which are not orthodox Catholic,but Ancient Celtic/Ancient Indian while being first and foremost a Christian.
God is bigger than most small minds can encompass.

I just turned 18 as well, end of February actually. You certainly aren't the only one who feels that way : /

I find playing video games helps, but thats probably just because I end up forgetting about whatever put me in an upset mood to begin with ; )
