Two words I'm going to steal from one context and throw into this one: Lurk more.
Your friends and peers are crashing themselves over each other, taking their hearts so young and giving them away so easy. You watch them make their mistakes, consul them, learn from their failures, and then you get a shot when you're older. building on the fallen souls of those who burned out in youth. On this pile of ashes you will rise, a singular phenoix, a star, who knows much through observation and fears not to try it firsthand now; you've memorized the manual, it's time to play the game.
Failing that go to a rave, take e, and dance (and more) all night with awesome hot strangers. It's amazing and lets off a lot of pressure. Go do it.
