The REAL WORLD...
The teachers in school always say THIS to us, the graduating students..(I'm 17)
To me, and most people..it means a hard and cruel world.
I'm graduating this year, and I've been very busy preparing for SPM(The last major exam)
Sitting for the SPM examinations will determine which university I can go to.
People who is sitting for it or has sat for it knows what I'm talking about.
Its a stressful thing! Believe it or not, some teens killed themselves because of stress!

If I'm able to graduate university, I'll be entering this Real World.
A world where you have to take responsibility for yourself.
How do you drive? How do you cook? How do you go to the grocery store? How will you buy clothes? How do you pay the bills? Do you know how to get from one place to another?
All these times, I've been living with my family.
I don't have to cook, drive or anything else!
I only have to study hard and listen to the elders!
When we step into the Real World, you have to fend for yourself..
I ask myself everyday, can I do it?

So, as a simply lost teenager, I want to ask all you other teens and young adults or adults..How do you last through the day? Is this big Real World that scary and cruel?
I feel so scared when I think about this..I don't know how to do it on my own..Help?
