Hi Cutie. I grew up being taught what's in the Bible. At least for a few years, until my father decided he'd had enough of it.
I think that your relationship with the Bible is personal, and I respect it. In answer to your question, I have gone along perfectly well all my life making my own mistakes, meditating, studying in a highly undisciplined way, and not believing in hell.
Now that I'm almost 50, I think that if there is really a lake of fire, some kind of horrible hell that a God throws 'bad' people into, well, I've never seen it anywhere. No one has come to smite me for my disbelief in hell.
I believe people create their own hells, sometimes through no fault at all of their own. The goal is to let the smoke clear until I can see what's really out there.
I think, if you are walking somewhere, look at your own feet, then look up and see where you are going. Is that where you want to be? If not, change direction. I think you have that power now, and I think you will have that power then.
