Where do I start. Today, I realized that my life is ruined. I dropped out of college (university) after completing one year because I can't afford it. I am poor, I live in a one bedroom apartment with my 3 siblings and parents. We are so broke, we have been living here since I was four, I am now 18. My parents think that it is really difficult to move out, it is merely impossible for them to even think about it. They both claim to be unemployed because there is no work out there, yet they never go and apply anywhere! (so how do they want to get hired) and they will rather live off $300 unemployment checks. My older sister is the only one working. My downstairs neighbors are assholes and they always bitch when my 3 year old nephew comes and visits us because he likes to jump around. I am about $7,000 in debt with school loans and a credit card that I can't even pay off because I am unemployed. My goal this summer was to get my driver license but I haven't even practiced driving and every time I do practice my dad bitches at me because I am such a horrible driver. I feel like I am knee deep into a horrible situation that I can't get out of. I need help. I hope I see the brighter side soon. |
Anyways, I won't be like the rest of the people out here who will feed you bullshit about hang in there or things will get better, because they won't. It's at random. If you make it, then congrats, if you don't then you die. You won't get any help from anyone and you are completely responsible for your own life. No one will care if you're struggling because people are selfish to begin with. Words from the wise, rely only on yourself and throw away that self-righteous attitude that people are good and just because they are not. You'd be better off dying and looking forward to a future in the next life...or not. Either way, you'll be relieved of the stress and you'll feel better.
Good luck to you in life, that's all I can say.
I can see how much people suffer their horrible lives. don't blame victims.
giving solutions is OK but don't judge him/her bad for feeling hopeless. You would understand if it happened to you!
I see you use $ so I'm presuming you're from the US. I know you couldn't contemplate more debt but if you could consider it I would advise getting some money together and emigrating to the UK or Australia (unless you have options with a second language) and getting some work. Their economies are still functioning (I'm Irish and know people who have got and continue to get work in both those countries). If you don't want to abandon your family you can always send money if you can giving them more than you can currently. You could then return with the benefit of having new experiences.
When you get some money together you could probably use your 1st year of college against a new course. They're cheaper in other countries too.
Hope things get easier for you.
