Every weekend I have to work 8 hours as a cartpusher/janitor/bagger until my legs die, every weekday I get more schoolwork than I can complete in that timeframe before coming home to get my phone confiscated like I’m a 12 year old so I can “focus better” on homework, I have next to no free time whatsoever, my number of friends is in the single digits and even then I can only see one or two of them in person regularly, I have no fucking clue what college to go to, my dad’s semineglectful, my mom’s a former ABA torturer, and my little brother is being raised horribly by them and will probably have to put up with it for twelve more years
Shit sucks
Wait how old are you? I always assumed you were in your mid-20s or older. Please tell me you're at least an adult, but then you were on here as a kid too?
Senior year of HS rn (yes I know I’m terminally fucked in the head, at least I never had a filthy frank phase in fifth grade or something)
It's so weird finding out we have children on here, it makes me feel uncomfortable.
You were a child on here once though
Nope, I've been an adult on this site the whole time.
That's fucked, and I'm sorry to hear you're going through this.
If you're unsure about college to go to, it's really all the same, especially if you have stuff you still want to figure out.
I applied to the college that would get me out of my house fastest and just having some distance from my home life gave me a lot of breathing room. You're already working hard and it sounds like getting a chance to rest and heal will do a lot to help
