Maybe it is just an anxiety about the future, but whatever...I am also afraid that I maybe I won't make it in that industry. I want to be a screen writer. I got to go to film school. What do I need to do in highschool to get there? Maybe it'd be a waste to go after something I might not be able to do well in. It is a big risk. A waste of education? Money? Maybe I should do something safe. Go to medical school and become a pharmacist. But maybe I won't be happy there. The whole aspect of becoming a working adult, scares me.
Any help for me, for those of you that are adults?
What are your nightmares about becoming an adult, for those of you that are young like me?

maybe you just aren't aware of the thousands of possiblities available career wise in the areas of interest you hold. i went to university studied film worked in film swinging booms then migrated to live sound. now starting entering a career as a sound designer and composer in theatre. there are hundreds of different careers in the entertainment industry most of them you may not even be aware of. and you are young, decide now to do what will please you and make you happy in your life because there is nothing worse than working jobs you hate. i worked in factories for a time, then cd shops, then studied, then taught music, then did film, and then finally live sound and sound design, there is a shitload to do just look and ask questions of people.
