Join the military. Army or Marines, make sure you get somewhere nice to be stationed in your contract.

I feel the same way, and im the same age. I feel like ive never been through any hardship or character building experiences. I have no belief system, no strong male figure. Your question really resonates with me, matter of fact if this thread doesnt get more attention im going to repost it. I need an answer to OPs question, i could write more and if anyone wants me to expand on the issues im having id happily do so.

You need goals and targets for life.

Easy way is military, they will provide the goals for you.

Harder way is figuring out what you like to do, and aim to be the best at it. And this stuff has to be valuable to your everyday life, shit like video games don't count.

I would say learn a fighting style.

Military is a commitment and I have no clue if you'll end up like gomer plye.

You should consider a NOLS or Outward Bound trip

You could join the Merchant Marine. Get paid to travel the world and learn valuable mechanical skills. There is a free school in Maryland operated by the Seafarer's Union, Paul Hall School. It has a lengthy waiting list, but its free and they place you in a job after 3 months of training (w/ room and board). There is another entry level school in Seattle.

Also, if you are going to go to college there are 6 maritime colleges and one national academy. I highly suggest getting into the engine department, as that is where you will learn skills that transfer beyond a ship.
