Turning 20 in a few weeks, it saddens me that I lost my teenage years to mental illnesses, they are gone and I am never gonna be able to live, laugh and love like a teenager should have Hey y'all. Turned 21 some months ago. Time flies. To people that shared messages of hope, thanks. I really appreciate it.. To people that reminded me that "I should be grateful for what I have", yeah I know that and it only makes me feel more guilty. Anyway, I really fucked up. I still feel miserable, my choice of college education is a mess, I can't seem to know how to make healthy social relationships, and daily I think about ending my life (but I am sure I will not because I can't cause more pain than I have already caused). The days go on, and the feeling of doing everything wrong is constant. I wonder when it's going to blow up in my face. But as horrible as I feel, I have no one to talk to, so I cowardly resort to the comments section of a video where I have no face and can freely say what I feel without being consumed by guilt and shame.

I'd say it's on the 20's that you find your prime, Ms. Just go with the flow and enjoy your youth. I'm 21 and turning 22 in March, but I feel way better than I was a 16, mostly because I grew up in a ambient surounded by bad and dangerous people and I always had only few friends -- something like two. Basically, most of my social network I made on internet and I spent huge part of time in my room. I felt the same way as you before, I completely understand you. But the teenage years aren't the wisest ones. A lot of teenagers has the same strugles that you had before and others are even worse. You must use yourself as an example of overcoming, because mental illness nowadays is getting pretty common among teenagers and only few people can get rid of it without taking their own life. God bless you!

I can't get over the powerful melancholy in this song. It's like a yearning for your youth, while appreciating how much more yourself you are with age. It's telling your younger self things will get better, while realising that they kind of didn't. It's reflecting on how much has changed with the passing of time, but the slap in the face that nothing has really changed at all... I think we get so caught up in nostalgia and regret and concern for the future that we forget that our memories aren't really truthful, and everything we experience is relative and fixed in the time it is in. This song reminds me to focus less on where you've been and where you're going, and more on where you are now :( :)

This song is for people in their 30s-40s who reminisce at this time or their life when they were 17 and the freedom they felt. Doesn’t mean it was the best time of their life, just that they were carefree and the innocence that goes we it, knowing now they can’t never go back to this feeling.

It’s not about “seventeen,” it’s about potential, and forgiveness. You’re the only person that can forgive yourself as you age. It’s important to remember the love you embody from a young age, to not lose it. You always embody beauty no one can touch, not age nor time.

EVERYTIME I hear this song my eyes swell with tears because being an adult and growing up is hard, a lot of souls don’t make it past their twenties so this song is a light for them and a glimpse into the horrors I’ve endured. Whoever reads this I hope you give yourself the same grace and love you give others to yourself for I have the unfortunate repercussion of ignoring that.

Gosh this song hurts so much. 17 was tough. I was so damn lonely & misunderstood, yet didn’t have the emotional language to explain it, even to myself. I was in a big new city and too afraid to begin to navigate it. With parents who were so different, with different struggles and different backgrounds, different values and interests, that they had no idea how to help me in any way at all. School kids so different also, they had their own bubbles already, in a small private school. There was no room for someone like me. I spent a lot of days leaving school early (dropped out of a couple of classes so I could) and waiting at the train station every day with a ridiculous amount of candy, shyly watching the range of people you see in a quiet but transitional spot in a huge city. And at the other end of the station I would hang around a playground by myself for hours. Time moved so slow, yet too fast. The way it does now but with less understanding of it. I couldn’t wait to get out, yet had no visible future to run towards, just a million things I wanted to run from. I don’t know whether 17y/o me would like or hate current me. But that’s okay because either way, all these years later, present me is finally doing okay.

I am so late to the party here with this song. I saved it after watching a rather marvellous UK show with it in it, and then as always, I forgot the blooming show I watched it in, in the first place. I have done this a few times, but at least I have the music. ❤ My take on the song...We ALL loved and hated 17 at the time, no? We were the purveyors of our future and still had enough about us to think we knew more than our elders. We didn't, of course. Our elders who we loved and cared about knew we would be like this...and now we are them, combated by our beautiful youngers who obviously know more than we do. But we spot our bestest us in their bestest them. The troubles, the triumphs, the sadnesses, the happinesses... Such an important time in one's life, and one we miss, but have learned so much from too.

As someone who has also lost a lot of their youth while fighting mental illness I really relate to everyone in the comments. The problem is our society romanticizes being young while ignoring the burdens and many changes you go through during that time. But realistically you're more likely to come across those aspects when you're older, like love, friendship and what makes you truly happy. The time-frame of child to young adult is so short, you can't experience absolutely everything the movies tell you in the span of 10 years so don't give yourself a hard time for it. You still have so much more life to live, please don't give up on it! I promise there's much more to experience and at least when you turn into an adult you'll have the freedom and legality to do whatever you want :D (Sorry if this turned into an essay but I just wanted to encourage anyone who had similar feelings. Life is hard regardless of age, be proud of yourself for getting through it!! ❤❤❤)

But I you're right too! The half of it is much more realistic which I really appreciate since it doesn't underestimate its audience. Also no worries!

Teenagers die a lot because of that. Just a simple “enjoy every moment, seize every opportunity” talk is enough.

I remember turning 18 two years ago and thinking to myself just how fast did i go from 16 to 18. It feels like as if I slept through 2 years. The pandemic disrupted my school life and my whole life in general. I remember my step father bringing me my birthday cake while my parents were watching on the news regarding the beginning of ukraine war. It was a miserable birthday. Family was slowly falling apart and I knew it. Despite that, I thought to myself to just endure it all and just go through it. I stop caring for many things. I was just hoping to get away from those times. Always looking ahead, I forgot to be in the present. Now I just turned 20 this 25th february. And I regret having those years wasted. You know the feeling of waiting to finally be the better version of you only for that day not to come and now its time to face the real world like responsible adults. But now it seems my life finally started to change for the better now... I hope. Wish you well in life whoever you are. Just remember to be in the present and enjoy the simple things. Take care.

When I was a teen I was over 300lb, depressed and miserable. In a high school of 1600, I was in the bottom dozen in popularity. I didn't figure out how much you can mold yourself into something else until I figured out how to care about myself as I was. When you decide to treat yourself like someone you care about, everything changes. Misery loses its power, joy starts to come easier. You have to decide to let love in. You can't force yourself to feel a certain way or "decide" to just "be ok", but you CAN force yourself to slowly stack little habits designed to lead towards something else. Reach out to life no matter how you feel or how the world might look and you will find that life reaches back.

Every time I hear this song I feel like she made it just for me. I was talking to my dad yesterday, sent him a picture from last week of my 17 yr old getting their lip pierced, with hair nearly identical in color and cut to my hair at 17, with the caption "they're so much like I was". It was kinda wistful, missing the parts of me that life experience has dulled or killed, but my boomer dad replied "now you see what I had to deal with". Just...no, shut up old man. When my parents laid the curse on me that they "hoped I'd have a child JUST like me" they never imagined that I'd be delighted by a child with all the traits they perceived as flaws. That kid is beautiful and perfect, passionate and talented, and crazy smart with a hilariously sarcastic sense of humor. What really wrecked me in this song was this part: I know what you're gonna be I know that you're gonna be You'll crumble it up just to see Afraid you'll be just like me It hurts that yes, I believe my child recognizes our similarities and is afraid they'll turn out like me. And chances are they probably will.

I discovered this song in August 2019 on Spotify and listened to it on repeat - alongside The National's "Light Years". In September I decided last minute to go to Madrid on a 4-day weekend, booked my flight, packed close to nothing but had my playlists ready. All I wanted was to find some peace, walk around the city and listen to my music. Went to Parque del Retiro and while I was taking a walk and listening to this song, I saw a friend from school I had lost touch with a while ago. He told me he lived there now and invited me to go out with him and his friends that night. We went for tapas and drinks, danced, and I spent the rest of my mini vacation with them. Life is crazy like that. One of the best times I've had in a while. I sure miss going on those little improvised trips, but soon I hope.

This song…It’s wishing you could go back in time, but knowing if that opportunity presented itself you may think twice about taking it. It’s realizing you are older, wiser and you went through pivotal, challenging moments to become who you are now…but at the same time you can’t help but relate to the younger you and feel maybe not much has actually changed. Regardless of the years that have passed since seventeen, we are still trying to grow, trying to learn, trying to navigate this complicated world we woke up in. Forever trying figure out the purpose. Life is a beautiful struggle. No matter if you are 17 or 70.

I was there, with the title, Seventeen & the guest presenter's reference to Sharon's scream towards the end of the song. I felt your thoughts & the positivity they stirred inside me, thank you, Ashley! During the song, I was transported back to a painful adolescence that unfortunately lead to many rollercoaster rides throughout my life. Then fate struck again when I noticed your comments were only written one day ago. And they say, 'Lightning never strikes twice!' I am so pleased it did as with your perspective, I can continue into this new day dawning with an attitude of light rather than darkness May your generosity be returned in spades!

I was kinda anxious that I’d missed out on a part of life I’d never get the chance to experience again. Felt like my development as a person was halted all of a sudden. But reading the comments under this video has given me a lot of hope for the future. Nice to know that that period can be bad anyway regardless of covid 😂 Thanks :)

Nice song. I remember my own 17 quite fondly. I didn't have anything to stress about apart from exams. I had a sweet boyfriend. I loved my mom so much and loved the moments we'd go shopping together. I was not a rebellious teen at all, loved my parents too much. And I am glad that I did because little did I know my mom would pass away when I was 19 and 24 hours later my granny passed too (that's when I learned that someone can literally die of a broken heart, takotsubo cardiomyopathy). During a big part of my twenties I was struggling with grief, wrong choices, heartbreak, more loss and pain, rape even. Only in the last 5 years have I started to grab myself together and making good choices for myself. I'm thriving now at 31. I've picked up a study in pursuit of the ambitions I had as a teenager. I have gotten some amazing friends. I found a great joy in traveling. I got married. And most importantly, I found my peace in Jesus Christ. For so many years I was angry at God. I left Him. Not the other way around. Then God left the 99 sheep to find the one sheep that was lost. He picked me up from the mess I made and lifted me up, pulled me out. Some people think there's a negative tone to being like sheep in a herd. But I'm the most happy sheep because my shepherd is Jesus and I wouldn't ever want to leave the herd again. With Jesus on my side I have started to thrive.

Found this song from Sex Education, won’t be leaving for a while. As someone who’s turning 17 in just a couple months and who feels like he hasn’t really accomplished anything, this song makes me quite emotional, I actually kind of cried a little the third and fourth time I listened to it, and I’ve listened many times since. It feels like I’m meant to be more than what I am. But that is what makes me appreciate the comments in this thread, these people talking about how they felt their teenage years were bad too, and others accomplishing their dreams in their 20’s and 30’s. Life isn’t over after 17, even if I, and probably others, feel like that a lot. But sometimes it’s hard to feel like you’re not wasting your time. And this song kind of makes it hurt, but in all the right ways. It’s a truly incredible song, I’m so happy to have found it. Edit: Returning to this comment about a month after my 18th, things have already changed a lot. My first semester of college brought me a lot of great new life experiences I’ve never had and I in general have a new appreciation for life. I had to push myself really hard but I gave myself an attitude change and am trying to see the future in a more positive light and see the good in more things in the present. I’m still not quite the person I want, but I’m getting there, as is everyone who may read this comment. It gets better everyone. Sometimes faster than you realize.

Take it from someone who's in her late 20s, you really don't need to be thinking you have to "accomplish" anything in your teenage years. Don't put such pressure on yourself, it usually only leads to you being unsatisfied and unhappy. Just enjoy your teen years, there will be plenty of time to achieve whatever you want later. :)

The other day I found a school photo of me when I was 17 (I'll be 27 in 2 weeks) and all I could think of was how fast time has passed since then, how much I've grown and changed in certain ways, and also how much I've gone off the rails in other ways. This song (and its fitting video) gives me the same emotional pull I got from seeing that old photo.

For a while, I heard this song (or some edits of this song) everywhere, in TV shows, social medias, etc. At some point, I couldn't even hear her without sighing, knowing it was going to be used in all sorts of futile challenges. Today I've come across it again and the emotion is back, intact after all this time. What a beautiful song.

Cause i know i am not going to be like this and i just want to stay in this time . I am not saying my life is super . It’s just normal teenage girl . But when we are going to be older we can’t been into life like this and whoever you are just try to be happy take a deep breath and let it go . Don’t waste your time . Everything is going to be fine . I am saying this but who knows someday I disagree with this but now i want to write it and i am doing it .
