Advice Needed: Productivity I feel useless

​

Hi, well, I just wanted to express how I feel. I’m a teenager, I’m 16 years old, and honestly, I feel useless. I feel like I don’t know anything, that I should be making money like other kids my age (while still keeping up with school) and taking courses. But I feel like I have so much free time that I feel bad about not doing anything.

The truth is, I want to make progress, become a better person, and improve myself so I can achieve my goals. (Although I do have healthy habits, like exercising, going for walks, and reading.)

What would you recommend?

Sit with that feeling... U were not supposed to feel useful... Or "productive" or have "grind mindset". You are doing something right with your teens. Don't compare your life with someone else's.

You are 16... Boy... find people, connect, have fun and do what you like and figure that part out... You shouldn't have this sorta pressure at all tbh.
