I have been taken out of school because apperently I've 'outgrown school'I just feel like a misfit, wherever I am I don't fit in and I'm just not satisfied with my life like this.When I spend time with people older than me, I don't fit in because of the number 15 that I have pinned to my head. But when I spend time with people my own age I get frustrated because I just feel like the way they live life is so petty, they argue about people 'stealing friends' off eachother, and being 'tossed off and fingered' by older guys, and then they think that they are so bloody ahead of the rest of the world. I just feel like screaming. Don't they understand??? Why doesn't anyone understand? I am driving myself insane!! And since I can remember I have had to deal with so much more than friends and boys, so my prioritys in life are very much different to my peers, which upsets me, i would give anything to be normal. Absalutely anything, why can't I feel like my friends are being 'stolen'?? I want that life!!Therefore I have decided to shut myself out, i have a few close friends, but they don't even understand me, my older best friend completely patronises me 24/7 and my younger best friend has what appears to be a close to 'perfect' life, I can't handle it. Why should everyone else be happy while I must be stuck here????? I have never really been interested in guys, apart from once, I was infatuated with my teacher, but since then I have not had a love intrest. Up until now. I love him so much, everything about him, his smile, his eyes, his hair, his laugh. He's so kind and so funny. And when I hug him I just feel like I'm in heaven. Only he's 21. And he will never think of me in that way, because I've got this bloody number stuck to me, 15. We talk sometimes, but I think he feels uncomfortable talking to me as he is older, because he often makes comments referring to me being 'underage' but I like him so much. He is good looking in my opinion, but even if he wasn't I was still love him. I just don't know what to do.It seems my age is ruining everything in my life.I have no idea where to turn.Any ideas?? Anyone? Im desperate honestly.Anyone have a potion that can make you older. Or one that can make you think younger?:(Please someone give me somwhere to go, where should I go?

In fact all the things you say are common to everyone, it's just that people don't often talk about their insecurities and things. If it's all getting on top of you it may be worth getting some counselling. It also may be worth thinking about what you do like about people and life because it's all too easy to focus on the negative.

I personally never really enjoyed childhood, and it got worse when I matured more at about ages 14 and 15. I have only ever truly liked one guy my own age - the rest have been teachers. Recently things have gotten SO MUCH better than a couple of years ago. Back then I felt a lot like you seem to, I just wanted to be given the same treatment as an adult because I felt I deserved it. My friends still annoy me and I can see that their problems are insignificant and immature. It has helped me to try appreciating their good qualities. Even though I am not an adult yet, I have found that many people treat me that way now. You're 15, so you're just on the verge of being accepted as an adult. That was the most difficult time for me, because it felt like everyone should just stop treating me like a child already.
So although your situation is different and you've been taken out of school, please try to relax. There's not much you can do at this point besides wait. Your body will take a little time reach the same level of maturity as your mind, but it won't be that long. Keep showing the guy you like all of your good qualities and if it's meant to be he will notice you in that way eventually.
Sorry I can't be of more help, I really wish I could give you some magic potion.

 Wow I have the opposite request...... FIND ME A POTION THAT MAKES ME LOOK 10 YEARS YOUNGER Lol. Darling enjoy your youth, but if you do want to look older wear a bit of make up and have a hairstyle that makes you a little mature.
