my accounting course i kept leaving and joining back. I wanted to join back they said no, we'll give u 6 months to choose your career. Sucks. I want to be a film director / producer.. i just want a way to get there. I've done some minimal research but they don't necessarily require education. I really want to do this but then again why do i always fall back into this dark hole.. not depression just the feeling of everyone else is in education and they have a secure path where as me. I'm taking a huge risk. Life is about risk but then again i just want to experience life to its fullest potential. Like getting a girlfriend, I dont go to college so i fucked that experience for my self. Same for university. Sucks.
 
17 is still very young. I am sure you will figure something out. The field you want to enter has a lot of uncertainty and thus go for a regular job till you get your first assignment there.
 
Blablabla.

What I don't read is what you HAVE done, which is nothing but bitching.

A lot of filmmakers started with actually filming something instead of hanging on a forum that has nothing to do with film making. So first of start with making short films!

Doesn't matter what it is but it's like IM, you will only grow experience and develop skill by doing, failing and learning. Once you get better who knows who will see your video online.

But I do know ATM nobody is seeing anything.

And a GF? You are fucking 17, who gives a shit about relationships at that age? I know you think it's important but it really isn't at that age. So stop bitchin, take action, there are plenty of free and nulled courses about film producing and software online, get a camera and maybe find some people that are in the same situation and make something before I come over there and slap you!!
 
No offence OP, but you are 17 and spend all your time moaning about your shit life. Time to stop being a pussy and take some direct action.

There is this site called YouTube I hear. And I heard there are hundreds of ways to then promote your video...Vimeo is such a site too..

Come on kid.. don't play dumb, you are born in the fucking technological century..When I was your age we didn't even had internet, there has never been a better time to take such adventures especially when you are 17, you got plenty of time to practice.

But you can keep going on like you are and keep complaining and come up with all kinds of problems and excuses and end up like me. Living 20 years of a shit life. 20 years you won't get back with every year thinking to yourself, I wish I did shit differently when I was 17.
 
My man, we`re in 2018. Create a FB, Instagram page. Post your videos. Pay some influencers, some FB ads. If you`re good you`re gonna be promoted on social media.
As people mentioned above, you should go to college or university related to art, movies etc and follow your passion. Good luck!

How to take such long screenshots, sir? Is it just that you have a big monitor or are you using a special software?
 
Everyone's right about the pointless bitching, sure. But you need to ask why you're doing it. Because you're discontent. Now, you could change that by running forward and doing all the shit you need to do to reverse that but when you're in a low place (that sounds like you are) it's very hard to do so with no momentum.

Solution?

Acceptance. Be kind to yourself. Stop longing for what you don't have - that only creates depression which will disable your ability to get what you want to stop said depression. Try meditating, whatever, anything that helps you say 'ok, this is my situation, it sucks but I'm going to be IMMENSELY kind to myself whilst I work on changing it'.

My motto is if you beat yourself up for not being there, you'll never get there. It's hard to when you feel like a piece of shit and you will realize even if you are, that serves no purposes.

Call me Dr Phil btw and hope that helps.
 
Hey man, I've got an idea. Make a film about a broke dude who joined bhw and got loaded. Everyone here would watch it, be great! Good practice and experience.
 
You are showing suicidal symptoms.

Pls take of yourself. If needed show up to a good doctor. Be surrounded by good and positive people

i just edited a deleted a whole paragraph about my problem but i dont feel comfortable sharing it. idk why. Self acceptance is the key i need to literally wash my soul with it.I was thinking to make a short film about self hatred.. not sure though.
 
Hi, OP. I symphatize with you. I am also depressed when I go to college at 17/18 in final months of 2013. These are dark moment of my life. I lost motivation in life and as a result my study suffers. I move from one college to another. Life is very dark. And it takes so godamn long to snap out of it. I managed to snap out of it at the ending of 2016. So basically I have depression for 3 years.

Here’s what I want to say:
Take it easy. Have a lot of entertainment. A good amount of time is half time spent on entertainment and another half on your future. Let me tell you, there is no need to be scared you waste your time while your friend is advancing in college. You can always take college whenever you want. 1,2,or 3 year late is fine. Also not going to college is fine as well. I think college is overestimated nowsadays. The highest form of learning in today era is self learning. There are a lot of resources in Internet unlike previous era.

Also if you are confused about pathway you need to take, I recommend you to read books exclusively dedicated to experts in your field (if you prefer reading). Inside you can gain a lot of insight of specific industry. Try to check book in Amazon and check wheter there is free copy available in libgen.io. Hopefully you will have an idea about pathway you need to take.

Also about girlfriend, I don’t think that is actually important. It is merely you desperate in blaming your depression to random cause (speaking from my own experience)

Hey, I just realize that my wording may cause misunderstanding. I mean biography about experts in your field
