What am I doing with my life?
Is the question you'll probably ask yourself after you read this article
Bhutto's Successor
"Benazir Bhutto's son has been anointed her successor, the slain former prime minister's Pakistan People's Party (PPP) confirmed today. A senior PPP official had told TIME late Saturday that Bhutto's 19-year-old son, Bilawal, would likely be named as her political heir and the new party leader on Sunday."
"The teenager will become the third leader of the 40-year-old center-left party, one of Pakistan's most powerful. Bilawal will follow his grandfather, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who founded the PPP in 1967, led Pakistan as Prime Minister for four years in the mid 1970s and was hanged in 1979 by a military government, and Benazir, who took over from her father and was killed in a shooting and suicide bomb attack two days ago."
Basically, he will be leading a political party in which the first and second leaders were both killed due to their position. And he's only 19. Actually, a month younger than me, because he was born in September 1988. Doesn't that make you think: As a 19 year old, what am I doing with my life? As people who can really make a difference in the world, why are we wasting our days aways?

no. i'm sure he'd rather NOT have to make important decisions at 19... and you wouldn't either, seeing as how you can't even decide what etc is going to do (grr).
