Thank you for your reply I really needed an opinion.
My dad has a taxi job now, and he used to be a wedding photographer. I respect him at least for still trying to work. Meanwhile my Mum doesn't want to work, and keeps making the excuse that no one can look after my 15 year old sister. But she's 15, I think she's capable of staying home alone!
All my mum does now is short courses in random subjects for the past 6 years now, no work just learning.
I'm on HECS -HELP so my uni payments are differed till I get a good job and earn a certain amount of money.
I also have Centerlink payments but I use the money to help pay for food for the family and our internet. And sometimes the bills if my Dad needs help with that.
So I have no money left to get food or uni books and other resources, when I help pay the bills and other house hold expenses.
I even had to sell my old laptop last month to get more money.
I told them of my situation when I first started but they told me to apply for scholarships, but the problem with that is anyone is allowed to apply so you can be rich and get one, and they pick your name randomly out of a draw, its all chance, and I was unlucky and received nothing, while one of my friends got a $20 000 scholarship.
I'll ask about public housing, since I can't take everyone being abusive to each other here. Someone gets into a physical fight every few months, I have at least 3 times now.
I did get job assistance from Centerlink but they just told me to hand out resumes that's it!
I did see a phycologists at my uni but I only saw them once every few weeks, since they're book up. And I always stop seeing them after a few sessions, I don't really know why but I feel like talking about my feelings isn't helping me at all.
And now I already fucked up my semester this year I missed 3 weeks of uni because I was to mentally unstable and suffered from a migrain.
Yeah I think you're right, it's kinda fuck up for a teen to help take care of their family.
Should I try and move out perhaps by seeking housing and rent money from my uni and Centerlink? Maybe they'll help me if I tell them whats really going on in my house.
But I'm scared they might get too involved and call the cops on someone since a 14 year old is there.
If I move stores under a new boss do you think they'll do the same thing to me?
Or maybe I should just go job hunting for a new one.
Okay I won't give up for now.
Kinda fuck up but I told myself if I'm still in the shits when I'm 40, then maybe I should end my life, but I hope it doesn't come to that.
Thank your for your kind and intelligent words, it's nice to know someone still cares about me.
This help me far more than any phycologists I've ever seen.
IIN to be hired by a company, but to be given NO WORK at all?!!!?
