When trouble comes focus on God's ability to care for you.
I would tell 17-year-olds to be proud of who you are. Don't try to change yourself for others. Focus on school and your future. Boys and friends will come and go just focus on you and your future.
Anything you're trying to will is focused on the future it's always associated with some sort of anxiety that makes the present moment somewhat uncomfortable.

My entire life has been an attempt to get back to the kind of feelings you have on a field. The sense of brotherhood the esprit de corps the focus - there being no past or future just the ball. As trite as it sounds I was happiest playing ball.
To me living in the present means being aware of your conscious choice to focus on the past present or future - it is not necessarily having to focus on the present.

I try to learn from the past but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That's were the fun is.
I know why I am here and my only real focused goal is to live each day to the fullest and to try and honor God and be an encouragement to others. What the future holds is firmly in God's hands and I am very happy about that!
