Because you are emerging from childhood to adulthood and to a child, the real world seems complicated.
Life is not complicated.
1. Do the right thing despite forces to do differently.
2. Decide to be happy.
3. With patience and commitment you can probably overcome most of life's complications.
Yes, life can be challenging, but we make it complicated. It's all in the way we handle the problem thrown at us.... how we perceive it.
-Take a step back, remove yourself from the problem momentarily in your head and see it as an outsider would.
-Remember to breathe and stay calm.
-It's about ACTION, not REACTION.
-When explaining the situation to someone, don't do it in anger. Anger and any negativity fuels the situation directly and indirectly. (I just had my AHA! moment with this one)
-Start learning your parents art form of reverse psychology and mold it to your own. Trust me, this comes in handy when dealing with people.
-Always pay attention to your surroundings. Start people watching and observe how they REACT or ACT. You'll intuitively will know what could have been done differently. Use that information to your benefit. There's more to observe than just people. Notice EVERYTHING.
-Start listening to your inner voice. It will guide you.
Life Is so complicated because we don't always get what we want and we all face difficult decisions during our lives which not everyone makes the right decisions all the time and that makes life complicated.
I wish I knew... I think part of it is because we're confronted with so much... today, more than ever. Think of it... we take in more now, during the course of a day, than we ever did in an entire lifetime years ago. We have a lot to process.

IF YOUR LIFE IS COMPLICATED, THEN SIMPLIFY IT BY REMOVING ATTACHMENTS.
Wikipedia's article on the Buddha's 4 Noble Truths says:
Within the Buddha's first discourse
A depiction of the first teaching of the Buddha, in which the Buddha taught the Four Noble Truths to his first five disciples at Sarnath, India.
The four truths are presented within the Buddha's first discourse, Setting in Motion the Wheel of the Dharma (Dharmacakra Pravartana Sūtra). An English translation is as follows:[web 4]
"This is the noble truth of dukkha: birth is dukkha, aging is dukkha, illness is dukkha, death is dukkha; sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief and despair are dukkha; union with what is displeasing is dukkha; separation from what is pleasing is dukkha; not to get what one wants is dukkha; in brief, the five aggregates subject to clinging are dukkha."
"This is the noble truth of the origin of dukkha: it is this craving which leads to renewed existence, accompanied by delight and lust, seeking delight here and there, that is, craving for sensual pleasures, craving for existence, craving for extermination."
"This is the noble truth of the cessation of dukkha: it is the remainderless fading away and cessation of that...

"This is the noble truth of the cessation of dukkha: it is the remainderless fading away and cessation of that same craving, the giving up and relinquishing of it, freedom from it, nonreliance on it."
"This is the noble truth of the way leading to the cessation of dukkha: it is the Noble Eightfold Path; that is, right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness and right concentration." [13][e][f]
[edit]Translation of Pali terms
The Pali wordings of the four noble truths[g] can be translated as:
Dukkha - "uneasy"; "unsteady, disquieted"[16][h]; unsatisfactoriness.
Dukkha Samudaya - "arising", "coming to existence"[web 7][i]; the origination of Dukkha.
Dukkha Nirodha - to confine[17], release[web 8][j]; "control or restraint";[web 9] the cessation of Dukkha.
Dukkha Nirodha Gamini Patipada - Gamini: leading to, making for[web 10] - Patipada: road, path, way; the means of reaching a goal or destination[web 11] - The way of practice leading to the cessation of Dukkha.
The Pali terms ariya sacca(Sanskrit: arya satya) are commonly translated as "noble truths". Arya means "noble", "not ordinary"; sacca means "truth" or "reality".
