Teenage Existential angst

I've deeply researched existentialism, and rode the train for a while, but now, I've gotten bored with that, and everything else in my life. The need to get a job shat out to me by a corporate machine, the need to stay employed until retirement, the knowledge of inevitable death. I just want to know what the best solution is. Is it love? Is is death? Is it to ignore the boredom and live life oblivious? Help me out.

Well I think the need is to think positive look forward to good things. I work and it helps me no end I have achieved so much in my life. Only just completed a foundation degree which makes me very proud of myself because I enjoy studying it keeps control of my mind. And you shouldn't get bored with trying to move further. You need to find your true vocation and follow that path. I didn't get any qualifications when I was in school got them all as an adult because of maturity and being wise when you get older. It never stops every day is a learning curve for us because every day we learn something new and maybe learn different ways of finding ourselves.

Try writing your feelings down daily. Dating them and the day. Because you may look back and realise why you were thinking this way.please stay positive.
