[X-Mark]

[Wacko1574]

[Nirvana_rox]

Oh wait i changed my mind
have a nice long pee

[lucille]

Up until about a month ago I wanted to be an archeologist. Before that it was a documentary researcher, currently I've like to write film reviews, but when it comes down to it I'll always strive for my childhood ambition to be Mrs Santa Clause.

[Kate]

Santa's a cheating bastard :|

[lucille]

Santa's a cheating bastard :|

But he's got the power and the charisma, how can a girl resist?

[Kate]

When you catch him in bed with 13 elves and a stocking full of miniture condoms, you soon realise his charisma can only get him out of a few sticky situations.

[lucille]

Wow Pinky you have my most genuine sympathy, that must have not only destroyed your romantic relationship but also completely ruined Christmas.

[Leon]

When you catch him in bed with 13 elves and a stocking full of miniture condoms, you soon realise his charisma can only get him out of a few sticky situations.That puts a whole new perspective on the concept of santa and his sack, and it being stuffed with (sex) toys.

[lucille]

That puts a whole new perspective on the concept of santa and his sack, and it being stuffed with (sex) toys.

Uh, Leon, as a person who enjoys festivity and the Christmas season may I kindly ask that you SHUT THE FUCK UP!

You totally just ruined Christmas for me

[Leon]

Hey it was ruined for me too, check this thread here to see.... READ the lies about Santa! (http://www.teenageforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19464&page=3)

[Jekyll-Hyde]

I've been told that I'm a bit too ambitious but I want to do what I really enjoy doing in the future ; I don't want to let my life go to waste =]

I want to become an actress for the stage, television and film first of all. Acting is something rather deep and very important to me! Actually, it's my greatest passion along with singing and drawing. I want to sing opera one day ; I have been told that my voice has the potential to sing opera and since a couple years ago, I wanted to be an opera singer. I've always loved drawing. I want to use my artistic abilities in life by becoming an illustrator and/or a graphic design. I could say that I want to become a web-designer but I wouldn't want to entirely focus my life upon that. I'd do it as a hobby. I've always been quite into writing and would like to write a novel or two in my lifetime ; to become a scriptwriter and a director also appeals to me. Though, directing mainly stage shows rather than television and film. I enjoy photography and taking pictures ; So, perhaps photography may be one thing I'd get into when I'm older. Possibly as just a hobby.

I want to make the best out of life. I know...if I did all those things in one go, I'd probably explode into a million pieces but it won't harm to give it a try, would it? One never knows... nothing is impossible!

[Wacko1574]

WOW^^...its cool to keep ur options open JEKYLL:D

[VraiCanon]

Up untill a few weeks ago I was determined to become a lawyer.
That's out of the window now since I've realized I don't want to study Law at University.
At the moment, I want to become a languages teacher. I may change my mind after Uni but hey, I'm applying to study Modern Foreign Languages and Teaching English As A Foreign Language at Uni. :D

[Jekyll-Hyde]

WOW^^...its cool to keep ur options open JEKYLL:D


Lol! Thanks =] I seem to think the same thing!

[cindy]

I have no, absolutelt, no ideaaaa :(
Ah it's frustrating, I really don't know what it is I want to practise..
I know what I really like but I'm like, well I don't want to do that for the rest of my life O.o

I like art, music, film(s) and books. I'm a creative person but I can't quite figure it out :P

[Jekyll-Hyde]

You don't have to just stick to one thing for the rest of your life =] You can do all of those things! I mean, do what you enjoy ; don't try to make a career in something you dislike!

[eukaryote]

I want to be a teacher. I want to teach high school biology. I've wanted to be a teacher for a really long time, since I was eleven or twelve....

[Jekyll-Hyde]

I remember wanting to be a teacher when I was little ^_^ I guess I'll end up teaching singing or drama one day LOL

[tramp]

I hope to be a teacher.

[Hells_Zargon]

No idea whatsoever. The worrying thing is that we have to apply for university through UCAS next month and I still don't know what courses I'm going to apply for.

[-Michael-]

I can't find a job :(

[cindy]

God..you're actually so right!..
O.o well thx for making me realise xD! :D

[kralian_Wings]

I'd love to work as a phycologist. That kinda thing just interests me; i doubt i'll do it though, it's a highly competitive learning process...
I honestly (apart from that) have no idea whant I want to do. I used to have it all worked out, but over the past few months i've become really indecisive about my future..
ahwell :P

[Sweetest.x.Sin]

I'm currently working on a second novel, need to get the first one published and such and I am going to become rich and famous, even more so than any Author out there combined.
Yup watch out here I come! :D

[fraggled]

I hope you have that shit grammar and spell checked, because alot is really spelled a lot.

WOW!! O_O sin.....good for you...:D:D
i wanna write my novel.....damn it!! :(

[Rebel_Princess]

wow. ^^i started my novel ages ago, but being the lazy thing that i am i left it :(
hopefully one day i will finish it off and become rich an famous :D

but yeah, i wanted to be a journalist, then changed my mind and i want to get into the advertising business, although im dreading it because im never too sure about my ideas, but i still have quite a few years to think about it :)

[Khashoggi]

City lawyer. :D I'm richer than youuu.

or else something hella boring but respectable like my doctor parents. :x

[jamesXxXx]

I want to be a British Army Officer. Either Intelligence or Infantry.

[*Jess*]

City lawyer. :D I'm richer than youuu.

or else something hella boring but respectable like my doctor parents. :x

You're not richer if you don't actually get it.
if it bores you, theres no point in doing it no matter how respectable it is.





I want to go into medicine. Not sure what area of medicine yet, I want to work in a hospital though, but I've absolutely decided that is what I want to do. Either that or be a teacher, of science, but somewhere where the kids want to learn. My chemistry teacher told me that I wouldn't regret it if I found somewhere like she works to teach, and I don't think I would.
Medicine though = main priority.

[rainbowsmoothie]

I want to be a cop. Luckily I've got a really good chance to make it come true, as I'll be going to the Police Academy in two years (after going to an army). Sweet as!

[Innamorata]

I want to be a kept woman.

[Kate]

:)
I want to have the oppurtunity to finalise my decisions later.
For now, i'm just concentrating on acheiving good GCSE's, lots of A's hopefully, and getting into the college I really want to go to.
After that, if I have at least ABB, and still want to do medicine, i'll go and do that. But if I don't, I may go into Psychology or Criminology.

[sniffer]

I've always wanted to become a porn star ever since I was 7....

Haha, just kidding. I want to take medicine and become like Dr. House although he's not real.

[Wacko1574]

LMFAO!! hehehe porn star...aye :naughty: .....medicine impressive...i must say ..*nods*

[sniffer]

Yes, medicine is for cool kids. :)

[Wacko1574]

suuuuuuuuuuuuure cool kids....haha i hated medicine frm my grandfather...ever since i was a kid...here comes my doctor and there goes my doctor...ha i know that must be motivation...but it...made me see that doctors are sooo un-cool ppl O_O

well then again thats my opinion XD

[Buttons93]

Haha I was having a conversation with my chemistry/biology teacher about this on Monday. I did want to be a paediatrician, but I've changed my mind and now want to become a psychologist. The mind intrigues me ... and how it works.

[Innamorata]

I want to be a mum. Not too bothered about a career, just want to earn enough to live.

[nyx]

In an ideal world, I want to own an independent bookshop, an spend all day drinking coffee and reading books.

[Innamorata]

Actually, I could see myself doing that, but I think it would be too much effort and stress for me.

[nyx]

Yehh, it would be amazing once it got going. But I don't think I'll ever realitically be in a position where I have the money to be able to set up a new business, or be able to dedicate myself so fully to something so stressful like that, when I want a family etc.

If someone wanted to set one up for me and let me run it, that would be awesome. Any offers? :P

[Innamorata]

Lol, you sound exactly like me! I'd like to run my own cafe, but I don't want to set it up or have to be there all the time. Bookshop with a cafe attached?

[nyx]

Yeh a little coffee shop at the back. And the customers can read the books they want tp purchase there before they get them, provided they don't spill coffee on them. and I don't care if that wouldn't be good for business. I'd like to be able to do that in a bookshop, so I shall do it in mine!

I first got the idea from Hugh Grant's in Notting Hill actually, but I wouldn't just have travel books :P

[Innamorata]

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Nothing worse than buying a book, and it turning out to be rubbish. I guess you could always get the first chapter of a book printed and let them read that instead, so they don't just read the whole book and leave. I think a chapter's usually long enough to work out if you're gonna like the book. Easier to replace if it gets ruined too.

[nyx]

Thats a brilliant idea! love how we're planning a future business thats never actually gonna happen on a teenage forum :P

[Innamorata]

Lol yeah. I always do stuff like this. I want to be a writer too, so I could sell my books at the bookshop!

[Buttons93]

I'll come and buy my books in your bookshop and have a nice cup of coffee whilst I'm at it :)

[Innamorata]

Yay, our first imaginary customer!

[Buttons93]

Yipee!! I feel so priviliged!

[nyx]

Haha. I love it. I'm gonna have homemade biscuits too!

[God.]

...and I'll burn it to the ground.

Stay in touch, there may be good reason to open a business together one day, who knows?

[adam_smith]

wow u guy have such high aspirations for yourself i would just like to be a teach guy for
a small company nothing fancy just enough to get the bills paid

[nyx]

...and I'll burn it to the ground.

Stay in touch, there may be good reason to open a business together one day, who knows?


Haha, how awesome would that be Although please don't burn it down :(

And Adam, I did say in an IDEAL world. Realistically I don't actually know what I want to do with my life.

[God.]

You should seriously do it.

You could both apply for start up loans from the Prince's trust until you're 30, they do loans of upto about £3k to kick start things.

[Lilee]

I would love to be a Graphic designer or some kind of designer. Something arty and so I dont spend to much time at a desk all day.

[Shane]

I'd love to be rich. :)

[sweet8060]

be a mommy....yes i'm serious...but like serious career wise probably a child psychologist.

[1stsargeED]

Honestly, I want to be a state trooper.

[Hugga-Bear]

Paediatrician, psychologist, GP, oral surgeon, facial-reconstructive surgeon, DNA biologist/researcher, Philosopher/theologian are my top choices right now.
If they all fail either a teacher of any kind or if that fails I'm a going to Sandhurst for officer training, joining the army as a Lieutenant or a field medic then working my life in the army. Hoo-ra.

OOH RAH! is the Marines. LOL

[jemjar]

Neuropsychologist =]
If that fails, something else psychology related.

[Buttons93]

I never actually realised so many people wanted to be psychologists...

[jemjar]

I never actually realised so many people wanted to be psychologists...

neither did i =\
apparently its a really popular choice for people at uni, especially people who havent done it before, but then loads of people drop it because they think its just sitting there and asking how people feel.... Same happened at college in the AS year.

[Buttons93]

Really annoyed me I couldn't take it for GCSE, gotta wait for A Level :\

[jemjar]

I couldnt do it for GCSE either, but most people cant (think thats changing next year though).
When I started college, they had so many people applying for psychology at A-level that we had to take a test before we had even started, so as they could pick who they wanted... but like i said, most of them dont last. Im on A2 now and its down to 7 of us!

[Jyt]

I decided when I was 12 year old that I wanted to be a games programmer.
I think it was because of Final Fantasy 7....
Starting to doubt myself now though...And it can't help that I've been kicked out of college twice.
I seem to be getting really interested in photography though, and alcohol.
Maybe I could be a photographic bartender. Or a concert photographer...that'd be cool.

[X-Mark]

lol. bet games design will be really cool to do thats what I wanted to be when I were young. I like the idea of making music videos tho I've made a video to Boston's more than a feeling and did a bit of daft punks 'harder, better, faster, stronger'. And I am just about to make a new one, I can't wait for that should be fun!!! but me mate Spooner is playin a lass I'm trying to pull :( not lookin forward to that but should be funny. If ya can have a look at me videos they are on youtube. the channel is www.youtube.com/Xamthekingofswing (http://www.youtube.com/Xamthekingofswing) leave a comment if you have a acount I'd like to see what people think so I can get feedback for new video's
Thanks

[Hugga-Bear]

OOH RAH! is the Marines. LOL
No shit sherlock.
Me and friends used to say it as a piss take. now we say it way too much : /

Psychology is awesome! It's fun, stupidly easy and has decent pay :D

[*Jess*]

Psychology is good, however it is so popular. I don't do it because I like to be odd:(.

I want to be a doctor, I'm 99.999999999999%% sure of it. Which type? Not an idea :(. I'm thinking a physician, or just a normal doctor who wanders round hospitals doing stuff (and being JD from Scrubs in an ideal but freaky world). Why I want to subject myself to 40/50 years of doing constant exams and handling dirty patients? Well I don't know, I'm possibly crazy. but why not assist in the maintenance of the fundamentals of life and understand your own body, which people live their lives in ignorance towards, personally I just prefer to live in ignorance to everything else in the world.

[timswfc]

If you want to be a doctor prepare to more or less dedicate your youthful life to studying!

[Brianna.]

I'm actually going into my third year as a Psychology major...haha. It's not as easy as it seems.

My focus is in abnormal psychology.

[K Dot]

Before I started post secondary I wanted to be so many things. But I really want to teach primary children! It's one of the most influential time in someone's life and I actuallywant to make a difference. If that does not pan out I want to work for the government doing research!

[*Jess*]

If you want to be a doctor prepare to more or less dedicate your youthful life to studying!

Have done so I'm afraid.

[Sneaky]

I want to be an English teacher, or a band director. Teaching science would be fun, if it weren't for all the math...I'm really not good at math.

[Nik Nak]

I'm joining the army this September. £16,000 a year straight away don't sound too bad to me! :D
Anyway, if I stay in there after my four years then that's obviously what I'll be doing, but if I only do the four years then I'm just gonna do something that involves driving. When I'm older I wanna own my own bar. :)

[VraiCanon]

I have received an offer which shall soon be a firm choice, to study French & Teaching English as a Foreign Language. After that, I shall either be a teacher of some kind, or an interpreter. :)

[iaxa]

cannon fodder probs, or an engineer/ sparky i dunno i am gonna study hard and thats it nothing gives me pleasure anymore so idc

[michelle]

im wanting to become a nurse always have done, in my last year a college cant wait till thats over :) got my uni interview in april its ages away.

[spektrum]

I'm going to take a couple of years to catch up on college Math credits for university. I want to take something w/ pure and applied maths, so I'm certain that I'm going to need some more courses. It's not that bad though, because I'm going to have everything else they need to see. Apart from that I might go on a road trip, but not too much to speak of.

[Hells_Zargon]

No idea what I want to do after education, but I'm going to move onto University at the end of this year to study either Marine Biology at Bangor, Biology at York/Durham or Biology & Geography at Lancaster.

[Nintendus]

I'm thinking of doing law, but I could do a history degree first. The future is uncertain :P

off topic: how did you get into symphony X? :P, I tried listening to paradise lost thinking it was ther sort of music I'd listen to, but it felt like it was progessive music that progressed into nothing.

[Kate]

I'm joining the army this September. £16,000 a year straight away don't sound too bad to me! :D
Anyway, if I stay in there after my four years then that's obviously what I'll be doing

It's actually 4 years and 3 months.

I have no idea at the moment. I'm just going to see what I enjoy the most at college. However, when my Religious Studies teacher asked me what I wanted to do in the future (after predicting I would be a nun), I did say that my sole ambition was to recieve benefits and plague Aldi with my obnoxious amounts of children :(

[WastedlittleDj]

I really want to become a forensic pathologist, Gunther Von Hagen is my idol too lol gosh i sound weird, I did actually want to become a nurse when i was little but as i got older decided on being a neuro surgeon so i could research methods for my mums illness but ..... i decided id much rather be a pathologist because of the challenges.

[trooperwhiteguy]

I would like to get a Doctorate somewhere in the School of Criminal Justice but haven't decided where. Then, as of now, I plan on becoming a state trooper.

[green hooligan]

This is the most interesting thread I have seen on any forum. It shows that teenagers are not all lazy and that some have genuine ambitions to work doing whatever rather than be a burden to others.

We had a lecture in school in 1956 where the teacher said; 'If you want to get ahead then get a group'' This applies now more than ever because the entire world has climate changes to cope with and mass human sickness.

I have had piles of job creating stuff in mind and on my computers for a long time and none have yet been used.

Those with ambition ought to remember that Tesco started out as one small shop in Edmonton around 1955 and you do not need qualifications to be self-employed.

I would be willing to help anybody wishing to start a small business venture particularly where it helps the environment, wildlife, the poverty-stricken or those who are suffering ill health.

[*Jess*]

Most young people who aren't out smashing up bus shelters have some ambition I'd say, most of us aren't the stereotypical school drop-outs who sit and watch Television and claim state benefits and think that having 3 cars and 30 children by the age of 19 and making frequent trips to torquay is living a satisfying life. :)

Your posts are a load of agony.

Do you think there would be any agony attached to teaching sex education?

[*Jess*]

Pardon?
Sorry, I didn't understand what you were saying. If you thought my previous post was offhand it wasn't supposed to be, it was just a statement.

Definately no offence intend. You are down as an agony aunt, are you not? I have a dodgy sense of humour!!!

I did click on a smilley face but it did not get into the post for some reason.

[*Jess*]

Fair dos. And yep, down as an agony aunt indeed.

[green hooligan]

Fair dos. And yep, down as an agony aunt indeed.

But what about my question?:)

[*Jess*]

I don't understand it =P :P

[green hooligan]

I don't understand it =P :P

Sex education fifty years ago did not include any references to A.I.D.S (Aquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome).

These days are somewhat different because girls and boys must be a bit worried about ''getting A.I.D.S''

Around 25 years ago, I was saying that AIDS is a label for decompression sickness and my view has not changed. My research regarding AIDS indicates that I am right.

Loss of immunity to infection can occur if one lives too far above sea-level. Rapid decompression inside an aircraft is another way to suffer loss of immunity. However, I believe very few people know this so trying to understand it all could involve a bit of mental agony I suppose.

[*Jess*]

Aaah right, well I guess so then. The thing is most people my age do not take AIDS or any other sexually related disease seriously, they regard it as being associated with being dirty and somehow disgusting. Many don't see it as a real threat, they see it as another part of their teenage invincibility, just as they believe drugs won't affect them ever, they believe that things such as this can't happen either. It's an attitude. I think they need to teach kids about the reality of AIDS properly first, before teaching them on the logistics. They see it as a joke and taboo, rather than the harsh reality that people who have experienced the disease in the slightest way possible see it.

[green hooligan]

Aquiring a loss of immunity to infection means all infections, not just sexual.

Lots of elderly people are dying inside hospitals after being diagnosed with MRSA and many other infections. However, these people have lost much of their immnity against infection before entering hospitals.

Rapid decompression inside a plane can cause disolved nitrogen in body tissue to be released into the bloodstream as tiny bubbles. In turn, this causes blood oxidation, better described as a form of poisoning.

If a person flies to Austalia from London then he or she might stop for the purpose of taking on more passengers and fuel four times. With each landing, the passengers are subjected to rapid decompression without their knowledge or much thought of the medical impacts.

[*Jess*]

No, I know, I just mean that AIDS to most people my age means "HEHE SEXUAL" sort of things.

[green hooligan]

No, I know, I just mean that AIDS to most people my age means "HEHE SEXUAL" sort of things.

I have not had sex since 1991. Maybe I charge too much? :)

When I get out of this hell hole I call home once this bullshit I call skool is done I'm gunna be a poet.I write a bit now but life hasnt been all that great lately so im lacking the poetry.

[Glamour_Love]

When I left school a year ago I wanted to go straight into work, and I did. Now thinking about going to college but not in any way shape or form because I think I need the qualifications to succeed at work, I just like to learn.

[GemmaJamPot]

After 6th form, its Uni... then I guess I will discover what I wana be whilst im there... but I wana move 2 America. :)

[mandude]

I see education as a means of living for free. My parents will pay for me as long as I go to college and and all that jazz, so I'm merely going to ride this oppurtunity to buy me time to perfect my drawing. I'll go to music college, study that for three years, and in the mean time, I'll create comics and perfect my craft. Once I finish college, I'll hopefully have a career in writing, and drawing comics set out for me.

[tf_arl_90]

Social work, maybe. I'd also like to take a year off and volunteer with the Peace Corps :)

[whereisit]

Define education.

If you mean high school- I will probably go to college somewhere in Florida since it's too hard to get a scholarship out-of-state. But before college, I want to travel the world a bit. (If I can save the money)

If you mean college- I'm one of those indecisive bastards that has no idea what he's going to do in the future. (Not trying to brag here-) I'm pretty smart, and I can get in pretty much any college, and work any profession but it seems to make my decision harder.

I used to think doctor would be good, but I watched too much Scrubs, anddoctors aren't like that IRL.
I've been thinking about becoming an inventor recently, since I'm good with math, and I have good ideas every once in a while.
But the thing I was recently thinking that would be really nice is to be a college professor. Possibly in philosophy, (Tuesdays with Morrie anyone?)

[-Luke-]

Ever since i was a little kid i've always wanted to become an Archaeologist, specialising in Ancient history, like Egyptians and Greeks, but the money wouldnt be that good. So now i've decided to become a Clinical Psychologist, Ancient history can be my hobby
:)

[yana]

I've always been on the artsy side. Right now, I'm taking up a degree course in Music, and that's a road definitely worth taking for me. Though I'm majoring in Asian Music, I want to take my masters in conducting, and be able to conduct and establish a choir that's worthy of praise.
Thinking about it, it brings me full circle. My singing started with the choir anyway :)
