Sometimes it's hard to really be interested in life if you never really need to pursue anything.
I'd suggest traveling and exploring. Make do with as little as possible, and you may discover what's truly important to you. This, in turn, makes it easier to care about certain things (and much easier to ignore what doesn't matter).
"What's missing?" Honestly no one can answer that question but you. As for the boredom with reality, well that is normal for your age; as long as its not to the extreme like not caring about anything in the least then its normal. If it does reach that point that is going dangerously close to depression. I suggest branching out on your own and going on sites like change.org that show shocking things that happen that no one is doing anything about and how u can help. I don't mean this in an offensive way but your 17 your horizons aren't very broad, college changes you more than you would ever expect.
Yea, I'm still young. I'm in college at the moment, but it feels like I don't have the heart to stay. I do well in my studies and everything, I just feel like being in school and the whole education, get a nice job thing is so common. I feel like doing something more direct and self satisfying. I feel like I'm just waiting to do something more that might be right infront of my face. I'll check out the site you suggested, thanks for the advice (: !
