So I got bullied and had very very strict parents in my teens. I didn’t get any sort of freedom or anything until I was 18. Up to this point the only year I enjoyed was being 17 because I had friends. I’m almost done with second year of uni, and I made no new friends. I have old friends from high school, but they’re busy and they kinda “grew up” (they don’t go out or drink as much as they used to). They say the best time for drinking was when they were 18 (i was 17) but I couldn’t go out. Im 19 now, 20 in a few months. I just feel like I’ve missed my life. Once uni ends, it’s time to work. And then I’ll be expected to be an adult. I still want to experience teenage relationships, having a huge friend group, going out regularly etc. But I’m expected to just be an adult? How can I be mature if i had no experiences? Maturity comes from experience, not age. Going to a different city is an achievement for me, yet people my age are living in differnet countries now. submitted by /u/Hereitisguys9888
