Hey Lostchild don't give up! Not all of life sucks, there are some very acheivable goals out there for you to reach for. You can't just lay back an expect them to be handed to you. You have to work at getting them. I had it all, a new truck, a house, a fiance, a good paying job, and I lost it all because I had a nervous breakdown.
I never finished high school and had acheived all that. I had to lie to get the job about me graduating high school. Luckily they never asked to see my diploma. Start setting small goals for you to acheive and then start setting higher ones a little at a time. Once you start reaching them you will start feeling better about yourself.
Before I joined the Marines I was living on the streets my life was going no where. I was hitchhiking across the country, when I would run out of money I would wash dishes somewhere to save up some cash and then I would hit the road again. I wouldn't recommend that now because there are to many crazy's out there. Do yourself a favor and sit down and think about what you would like to do with your life. Take Care!~Joseph~
