What Should I Do with My Life and Future?

Published: Jan. 16, 2012, 7:41 a.m.

b'This week's question comes from a teenager who feels depressed ever since graduating from high school. This teen feels like there's little hope for the future, and thus is not eating and feels the urge to start cutting. What should he/she do? We do our best to answer this question from several different angles: the underlying root problem that might be causing these symptoms, the truth of what God thinks about us, and how to go about determining what job and career might work best for us. We all need direction and a future in our lives. We recommend some books to help you figure out what job or career you would be passionate about and how to "turn your play into your work so you never have to work another day in your life." 48 Days to the Work You Love: http://stumin.org/rPoCny No More Mondays: http://stumin.org/u1Ys12 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR WEEKLY VIDEOS! http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=youthquestions YOUTH WORKERS IN THIS VIDEO George - http://www.youtube.com/zackcor Ruth - http://www.youtube.com/ruthevlog Tim - http://www.youtube.com/godrox Youth Questions posts a new video every week answering real questions from real teens about real life.
