As of I just turned 19 the world is just falling apart. Every day it keep getting worse. I have pay $350 to my mom rent,sure not a lot but I have no job. Got laid off few week ago. I been looking for a job but everyday I get more lazy. Somedays I just lay in bed all day, that just some of the days. But I can't keep this up. Worst part is no one is hiring.

I just get so confuse. My dad tell me to go to college. My mom say your not ready for school and she forcing me get a job. my brother is the perfect one. Go to McGill get 90 percent in all his class. My dad and mom pays for everything for him. School,apartment and his social life of party. Yes he going have bright future.I hope he dose
But still unfair to me. That what I think. I am the one paying my mom rent. Have go school and work at the same time.

The only thing that make me happy is the sport HOCKEY. Best sport alive people. So I just go to my hockey games at night( four times a week and then come home. that all I do. Oh yeah and smoke weed.

Don't get me wrong. I have tons of friends. I actually do. But at the end of the day. I just want live my life and be happy and not worry. Bob Marley never told us that it is hard I be happy?

I just need some help of how to be depression free.
I NEED Motivation

Last thing I just need to find out who really am but it so hard when every thing keep going wrong.

    Now to answer your pertinent question.
    I think that your Dad is right. You should strive to educate yourself. I can understand that there are people in a situation similar to yours. It is unfortunate that there are people with a desire to improve themselves, but due to predominantly economic situations, they are unable to go forward with this.
    Here's an idea:
    First find out what your interests are, where you feel that you can make the best contribution to society in a Materialistic OR Information field of study. Most of the information that comprises these study courses is available online. At present, much of this information is incongruous and often difficult to find. It is true that some colleges and other organizations offer online courses, but these lack one fundamental aspect that I feel is important for a sound educational experience. This is inter- personal ( real life ) interaction.
    So how to solve these problems:
    You have an advantage that many do not. You have many friends. Ask them if they would be interested in helping you and possibly helping themselves at the same time. Economics is the major obstacle to this. Come up with innovative ideas as to how to finance your immediate needs ( housing, food, clothing, etc.) and any costs that are associated with the education you desire. Often if you simply ask people that you are interested in improving yourself but lack the funds to do this, they might make a contribution. The better the idea and the more convincing you are, the more likely this is to succeed.
    You might want to try this: Mostly what you will need is a space that is suitable for study and computers with an internet connection. Again. ask around, someone might donate this. Even though, let's say that you and some of your friends are studying diverse subjects, you will find that you can still help eachother to learn in many ways.
    In this way, you can teach yourself most of what you need to know. It will be necessary to have available a professional ( i. e. College Instructor ) periodically and an agreement with an Institute of Higher Learning for accreditation ( certificate ) for what you have learned.

      I respectfully disagree. All too often, people turn to one religion or another as an answer to life's problems. Most religions will aver that they have the right answer. They all can't be right. I feel that it is okay to study religious scripture, but to do so objectively, not subjectively. I do have more respect for Bhudists and Rastafarians as these adherents tend not to cause trouble towards others.

      He needs good education or a nice job and you come here with religion, please go away.

      To OP: Just try find out what you want to do in your life and get educated for that, and meanwhile try to get a job if you have spare time left for that, maybe for 1 or 2 days a week.
      Keep playing hockey if that makes you happy.
      Good luck.
