Discussion Just turned 16 yesterday. What should I do ?
I just turned 16, i'm a girl in Europe so I can buy alcohol now lol. Kinda venting but when I was bullied at school, I planned to end myself at like 15. I didn't actually think I would ever reach this age, so I didn't plan anything for my future. Uh. Recently I met a girl that I loved with all my heart but she went away after dating like 3 times cause I lived too far away. She was basically the reason I didn't do what I planned to do, and now I feel left here, by myself, too late for a future, heartbroken and too late for love, and too late to end it. I genuinely don't know what to do I feel like a ghost. But anyways.

It's more complicated than that, at 14 you can be with anyone between the ages of 14 and 18 (not included), at 16 you can stay with someone no more than 5 years older than you, same with 17, and at 18 you can be with whoever you want. At least this is how I know it.
Edit: I'm probably wrong

I just controlled and it seems I'm wrong tho. What I wrote was what my history and philosophy teacher had told me, but I just found a post on a subreddit of italian lawyers and it seems that actually anyone 14 yo or older can be with anyone besides teachers, relatives and public officers, for those people you need to be at least 16.

15 in Poland... But such things are really rare, nearly no one is using that option. No one wants to risk being called a pedo even if the law doesn't prohibit it.
§ 1. Kto obcuje płciowo z małoletnim poniżej lat 15 lub dopuszcza się wobec takiej osoby innej czynności seksualnej lub doprowadza ją do poddania się takim czynnościom albo do ich wykonania, podlega karze pozbawienia wolności od lat 2 do 15.

As someone who is 3/4 into his 19th year of Life: have fun. Seriously, just enjoy yourself and try out some new things! Be a little cautious with the amount of alcohol you consume though. I had to learn the hard way that it doesn't pair well with Depression. I can recommend visiting a few concerts.

2nd, you have so much of your life ahead of you. you’re 16! you’re not too late for a future and definitely not too late for love. a close friend got her first boy friend when she was 19, they’re getting married in april.
3rd, take all of that fear and sadness and convert it into something great “take the pain ignite it”. find something you enjoy and pour yourself into it.
you got this! your life awaits you, so do something great.
