This year is starting out horrible for me. My mom and my step dad constantly fight which they didn't use to, our new house is being torn apart by my baby bro and my lil sis and they just recently broke our 55" tv. My grades started out with all A's but when we moved to our new house, my step dad lost my laptop and due to our current generation which almost fully relies on technology, i missed out on lots of essays and online quizzes.

My mom gave me $60 last week to last me for 2 weeks. I'm suppose to use $30 this coming week but my wallet got stolen. My mom is broke right now and my step dad doesn't give a crap. Don't get me wrong, my step dad is nice, he's just literally dumb. I'm not being mean, i'm being honest. He argues over the stupidest things like leaving the box of wet wipes open -.-

Now, the week after this week, finals are up and right now, i'm broke. I'm lost. I don't know what to do. Btw, due to my mom being broke, she canceled her order for a dryer. Right now it's saturday, my clothes are dirty, our washing machine is slow, i have school on monday, i'm broke and so is my mom, and i really don't know what to do. Please! I'm panicking. I really don't know what to do. A part of me just wants to give up.

You're in quite the pickle. In the face of adversity, we show our true selves. What are you showing, and what do you think is the right path/

Honestly, i'm catching up on my work. I think my real problem is me being broke and no clothes for the current week D: Heeeelp! I still need some advice on the above said tho q: And if you have any advice on how to dry clothes quickly, i'll never forget you

Hanging them and using a hair dryer works beautifully most of the time. Maybe a fan to keep the air circulating.

OH DEAR GOD! THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH. All that's left now is bus fair and my family problems. Btw, to any body who's reading this, if i fail 1st semester and pass 2nd sem with all A's and B's, will i pass sophomore year?

Ephemeral · 07-01-12, 11:04 PM

Well, How much do you need for the bus fair? and when do you need it by?

And yes. You probably will pass the year, assuming that you didn't fail all of your classes with F's. It depends on what school system you're in too. If you switch classes between semesters, then they might make you retake the first semester classes. However, if the classes continue throughout the year, then you'll probably pass.

Do you guys have hot water cupboards in the states?

I hang all my clothes up in there and they dry overnight

Money isn't really everything as long as you have a safe house and a belly full of food, well you're doing better than 1/6 of the worlds population

As for your school that's hard to say but doesn't your school have public computer facilities?
Or do you have any friends houses you can go chill out at and use their internet to get some time out?

It's $1.05 a bus ride and all i have right now is $6.25. I can go a week without lunch since we still have food in the house. I'm gonna need more than $6.25 since it's $5.25 a week to get home. My mom gives me a ride to school about twice a week. I still need some pocket change. Btw, i already have a new laptop. My real dad sent me one last week. And cause of that, he too is currently low on cash q: Other than the clothes thing, i'm still panicking D:

I'm ending this semester with these grades

Algebra B+
English B+
History D+
P.E. C+ (don't judge me q: )
ART C+
Biology C+

Those grades are still great

You can only focus on what you can change so don't worry about what you can't.

I'm sure your parents would never leave you without being able to get to school?

iloveclaudia · 07-01-12, 11:46 PM

They would, actually. I'm 15 and they said that i'm old enough to take care of myself. o.o And thos grades aren't great but i really appreciate you trying to boost my self esteem up

And they're always stressed and fighting and stuff so i don't really wanna get in the way. Thing is, i still have $10 in my atm but i can't withdraw money lower than 20 bucks -.-
