said town you live in appears to suck, like most places it will pull you into the depths of a weighted nothingness that is stunting and leaves one stinking with stagnation-
Yeah the middle of jersey is desolate, especially after moving here from NY. I went from being in a city i loved to being in a small white surburb
no permit or license- steal a bike and learn to ride that shit, assuming that you aren't going to skate there because you don't want people watching you. at 17 i skated 5 miles to scrub pots, dishes, and bed pans at a hospital- it sucked but i burned one down on the shred and macked it the girls i worked with- it wasn't that bad.
This actually gives me hope and ill take your word for it. I mean i have been looking for work and shit
This internet shit destroys the social lives of young people- or so it seems- you lurk, peep facebook, call people and no one gets at you- you sit at home- doooo things, man-
I get pissed off when people say that (no offense). I dont enjoy being on the internet and i hate lurking. Fuck i lurked this site for a good month or 2 before i made my account. Its not easy for me to "just do things" its not like i can walk outside or skate around my town and find people around, if it were that easy i wouldnt be in this social situation. Im telling you man the town i live in is very strange.
you were offered advice- advice that's got truth and some living experience behind it- roll with it
I took the best i could from it, and ill try too
If your parents worry about your future, why don't they take you to get your permit? What do you mean your parents work of the clock?
Well first my mom wanted her boyfriend to teach me how to drive but he said i had to take a drug test first which even my mom testified too. Hopefully she takes me out to learn before the summer. My mom works from 9-6 and she takes a 2 hour train to NY everyday. She comes home and has to deal with my little step brother and cook food for the whole family so she barely has time even for herself and my moms boyfriend is just left to be avoided at all times
And your mom is wrong, your brother was lazy (I hate to sound mean). Financial aid is available. What do you want to do for a career?
Its alright me and my brother are 2 completely different people. I was thinking lawyer or psychiatric but now everything is still up for debate. Its not so much i want a specific career i just want a job that i dont absolutely hate and that i can get paid enough to make a living for myself
If it means walking a mile or two to get to work then that's what you'll have to do. ? You can some how afford a skateboard, shoes, etc...why not a cheap bike? If you want to get hired fast, you need to take initiative. Jobs won't come to you. Fast food usually hires people often, it's a shitty job, trust me I worked there for a couple of years, but you'll be getting paid. Summer is approaching, that means places will be hiring.
I see where your coming from. My brother did the whole bike thing and hated it and thats one of the only times i felt bad for him and showed me how scummy my parents could be. I refuse to work at mcdonalds thats my only problem.
And if you want some social interaction, which will make you feel happier (chemicals in your brain), then join a club, sport at school...hang out at the skate park or a local spot that everyone goes to. Talk to kids in your classes.
I try man i tried all of that. Its just people in general. I can barely find anyone who i can hold an intelligent conversation for more then a sentence. The stuff that the kids are into i have no interests in. A lot of them are alcoholics, i dont drink alcohol. All if them watch the jersey shore, i hate the jersey shore. All of them like rap music, i like rap music too but real rap, not lil wayne or drake or whatever dumbass the music industry wants to give millions of dollars to write nursery rhymes. we really are just really different people and my friend says he thinks its because i grew up in brooklyn and things are a lot different there then here.
Maybe joining the military? There's good benefits, but it is not for everyone, me included.
No thats not even a possibility but thats something that i wont get into because anything that has to do with religion or politics is bad news
You have to take action in your life, you obviously have it hard, things won't come to you...
Im trying to man im just waiting till high schools over, it just freaks me out when i see some of my peers who are out of high school and there just vegetables and miserable and i mean the kids that are specifically in this town . I wish i didnt have it so hard sometimes, i wish i was as ignorant so i can just enjoy my day without thinking about the problems.
