So what do other 18 year olds do for money in America for tuition etc if they are not foster kids and maybe have no parental assisstance? Maybe they do what I had to do and work my bloody way through university!!
You never did answer how you had a car?
The boy my pal fosters gets £16/week pocket money which is far too much! He spends it on drink and drugs, and refuses to go to jobs that the Social Services find for him - coz he justs wants to lie in bed all day! In the UK, the foster system will pay for him to have driving lessons and the insurance on a car £2,500! Eh? My pal's real son gets nothing at all. All coz the foster lad's mother decided to marry a convicted sex offender. Not the kid's fault - just a lousy mother, whom he adores (of course).
Anyhow, instead of whining about poor you, you should be more than grateful the taxpayer gives you so much. Consider other 18 year olds without your advantages! Maybe if you were out working 2 jobs to finance college you would meet a hard-working man!
Maybe just maybe, it's the chip on your shoulder that's weighing you down that stops you meeting someone.
Believe what you like about the Bible - I don't care.
You are very immature, get back to your books if you ever hope to get some qualifications - I doubt your personality alone would get you a job ;o)
I was also a tax payer. I have had several different jobs, in which I worked 2 of them earlier on this summer. I guess you totally ignored the fact that I have been moving a lot. (Hint, that's why I said I wanted to "settle down."
I thought the car was self explanatory. I received a scholarship that rolled over to money.
The US has a very different foster care system, especially in the core of the capital city so the two are uncomparable. Also, him and I are two different people so I stories are uncomparable.
I never said I wasn't greatful, not once. The money is definately not the issue with social services, the people are nasty, very nasty.
I've already made the Dean's list for the first term, now I will be in labs learning from the greatest chefs. Thanks for your input but it was not needed. :)
Is it normal to want to move away and start a new life?
