I’m 16, a pretty popular guy at my high school, and incredibly uncomfortable with attention and pressure heaped on me. I’m generally considered to be one of the smartest people at my school and every one expects me to go to an Ivy for college but I am completely uninterested in school. I feel guilty sometimes because I never try hard in school, generally scraping by in classes with A minuses (I do care a little I guess). My family heaps an insane amount of pressure on me and sometimes I just want to run away from it all. I mean I have seriously considered withdrawing money from my savings account and just running away. I’m not suicidal or anything, I just don’t really see the point of it all I guess.
