Here's an amazon link. I hope this helps you (I think it will).

We've all been there! This is the amazon link for the book. Best of luck!

This is the Amazon Germany link. Enjoy!

Sorry, I disagree with colski08. "Following your dreams" or "Follow your passion" is too much of a simplistic reasonning for such important decisions. It implies that everyone has a pre-existing passion for something and that when found, all the answers to life will be solved and that you'll be happy ever after, which is false. Of course, this is a long debate, but I just summarized some thoughts here..

I would reccommend to read these 2 books for a starter: - Defining Decade: Why Your Twenties Matter and How to Make the Most of Them Now by Meg Jay - So Good They Can't Ignore You by Cal Newport <- explains really well the myth of following your passion

On a personnal note: - experience is the key: try different jobs and hobbies and take note of what you like and dislike about these experiences - if necessary, take a year off school to work or travel. Don't engage in expensive studies if you're not even interrested in the subject - bachelor degrees are overrated in my opinion (even though I almost have a master's degree) - If you do go to college or university, try to enroll in "co-op" programs with internships. They will usually give you a good feel of the working environment - go see a career counsellor at school and do some tests to see what are your strenghts and fields of interrest, it'll give you some career suggestions based on the type of person you are.

Finally, be patient and confident in your capabilities

Good luck!! :)

Try Philosophy if you are a deep thinker.

Good starter book:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Meditations-Translation-Modern-Library-Classics/dp/0812968255/ref=sr_1_6?crid=2KFK85S4H416G&amp;keywords=meditations&amp;qid=1670455307&amp;sprefix=meditations%2Caps%2C88&amp;sr=8-6

Well, are there any cities nearby where there is more diversity? If there is, you should go hang out there more often. Have you tried looking online like meetup.com to get together with a more diverse group of people in your area? Are there any Asian temples in your area to be around other Asians?

When you live in an area like the mid-south where it's not so diverse and you don't plan on leaving soon, you need to change your perspective. You have to accept that it is the way it is. You have to have a thicker skin and not care about it so much. Be kind to them and maybe it will help them to see you differently and one day they will break out of their shell. You can only change yourself so that's what you need to work on. Change your perspective/mindset. Good luck.

Insect zapper works well. I bought two for my home. Hang one at the front entrance and another inside the kitchen. Kills mosquitoes, fruit flies, house flies.

Here's an amazon link of the one I purchased:

I use a alarm clock that vibrates my bed. I’ll take the alarm clock and put it on a shelf and it scares me awake.

He sounds like he is going through some personal issues and he is taking it out on you. Where was he living before you had your daughter? Can he go back to living with his parents? If he doesn't want to take the break up seriously, you're just going to have to give him an ultimatum. Tell him he needs to start acting more responsible if he wants to stay with you. Tell him he needs to get and keep a job this time, to stop playing video games, pretty much just act more like an adult in the house, instead of like a teenager. If he doesn't stick to that agreement then you and your family will need to take away his copy of keys to the house, throwing his stuff out...maybe you can get your dad to kick him out, if he won't listen to you.

Don't worry about being alone. You can try looking online like meetup.com to find other young moms in your area to hang out with. If you are working, make friends with your colleagues. Even if you can't hang out together outside of work, you'll at least have a friend to talk to at work. When it comes to meeting another guy in the future, don't worry. You will find someone right for you and your daughter, if that is what you want. I have a friend who has two children from a previous relationship and she met a guy who loves her and her children. Breaking up with him may not be that painful considering that your relationship is rocky right now. A part of you will be crying, but the other half will feel relief.

Good luck.

You might have to travel to the nearest city that is bigger than yours. If you live in an apartment building and see people your age who also live there, try talking to them the next time you see them in the parking lot. If there are sports leagues in your city, you can join one or go to a game.

There is a friend app called Patook. It shows you people who live within ~ 30 miles who are also looking for friends. You can also try joining an association for those in your field or others who work from home. Does the university have an alumni association? You could join that. Sometimes they arrange events for alumni to get together. Have you tried looking through meetup.com?

The first thing you're doing wrong is sitting down and crying, that's a waste of time, successful people don't become successful overnight, nor do they think about success every day. I'm in the same boat as you, 17 years old, not knowing what to do, but here I am, struggling, I recommend reading books and articles for inspiration, a page with free books, setting small goals and not succumbing to the pressure of life, you are full of questions about what to study, what will happen if I make a mistake, etc. But that's what life is all about, experiencing constant failure, no person succeeds in one attempt. https://z-lib.org/

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is a good book to download in your situation i guess

Capture your children's talents, passions, and character traits as they are growing up. It will save them the trouble of having to "remember their childhood interests" when seeking a sense of purpose later in life.

& let me know how you do.

Best of luck learning to love yourself!

If you aren't able to get psychological help (counseling/behavioral therapy) I would suggest you look into self-help literature (Make sure to avoid esoteric literature) that might give you the lacking guidance on life that you (seemingly) seek:

Jordan Peterson - 12 Rules for life

Viktor Frankl - Man's Search for Meaning

From someone way older than you let me tell you it's a gift that you start being aware of the suffering in life and what to do about it early. You have so much time to work on your life & on your self to improve your own circumstances and seek to create a meaningful life for yourself.

Good luck.

For overall life philosophy I recommend "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle.

For simple, practical, exercises to heal insecurities & unhealthy beliefs this book is my favorite.

Also, Abraham Hicks has quite a few books on Amazon (I prefer listening on youtube).

Best of luck!

I've read every self-help book out there. I think this one could really help you. You can do this!

Not sure where you are but this is the Amazon US link. Best of luck!

If money isn't an issue at the moment, a great idea would be to get a life coach or a career coach and have a few sessions with them. Here is a nice but simple workbook that is also useful: https://www.amazon.com/Life-Purpose-Alchemy-Discover-fulfils-ebook/dp/B00WUOF66M

I would also start asking yourself and maybe even journalling on the following questions: What issues do you care about? What problems would you like to solve? What makes you come alive?

I see so many people starting businesses that they aren't really passionate about, and because of this, they don't succeed. So before you look into what is profitable, it might be wise to look at what you'd enjoy first and foremost. Best of luck!

Check this book out:

As well as Richard Florida's book "Who's Your City?", although that's more North America focused.
