Shoulder it like a man, or bellyache like a wimp.
You are feeling that way because you are at the line between a man and a teenager. Don't take the number of your age as a guideline, take your mental maturity. You are neither here or there.
You cannot control those around you, but you can take charge of yourself.
Treat your self as a man, and others will follow suit
Behave like a kid, and the others will treat you as such.
True, but this only happens when guys really is expose to the harsh working society, having to meet negative and bad-stabbing guys who bad-mouth people just to have a bit of pay-rise.
We keep learning as we grow.
A young guy can't turn to a gentlemen overnight.
It takes experience and financial responsibility to slowly convert a young guy into a responsible young adult and to be a gentleman to his gf and other peers as well.
You need to know more people, know their growing up experience, perhaps that will help you speed up the process of growing up mentally.
I might be younger than you, but I do know what are the sacrifices that have to be made when we learn to shoulder the burden.
I took up the burden years back already. This taking up of respondsiblity has certainly change the way I look at things that happen around me and prepared me for the impending crisis due to come.
Ask more older guys on how they grow up, married guys (those who have a family already; I'm not talking about those young couples with no experience of supporting a family-i can intro you to them if you're keen to learn more) especially, they will be able to give you more experience sharing thus u learn faster this way.
