Dont feel bad for me by the way. I mean im already 16 I need to get ready for the future.
Thanks..
I left out when I was 16, I was still in school and thought that I couldnt get kicked out if I was still in school so I called the local police in SC and told them that my mother had planned on kicking me out when I was 17 and im in school still and I asked if she could. the officer told me that she can kick me out when I am 16 and it doesnt matter if you are in school. That is a stupid law and I dont see how they expect people to be anything with laws like that in place. I went ahead and quit school and got a job but my mother didn't see a dime of it. my first paycheck came in and I moved in with my friends family. When I was 22 I had a better job and had some free time so I used that opportunity to get a GED. When I got my diploma in, my mother shouted "I knew you could do it" and wanted to take my picture of me holding the GED. I told her she didnt deserve anything and that I would have a HS diploma if it wasnt for her listening to her BF and I didnt let her get her facebook promo. These days (in my mother's later years) she has become a good grandmother and mother. I think she saw that she was driving her kids away and she made a complete change. My father, thats a different story...havent seen him in over 15 years but thats a story for another day.
My advice, be cut throat. every time I was giving whether its buy someones lunch, give someone a ride, give them something from my house free or just fix someones electronics freely I have gotten the crappy end of the stick but when I just only act for financial gain, thats what I get is financial gain. Everyone acts for themselves, even if they seem like the most giving person you have ever seen, they are screwing someone over somewhere down the line. Do you think giving away their stuff is how rich people got rich? look at Bill Gates, he was responsible for curing polio in india from what I hear, you know how he started? screwing some guy out of his program for like 50 bucks or something and the turning it into millions. I may have the amounts wrong but basically he got some sap to sell for dirt cheap and got filthy rich.
Get a job at a restaurant or somewhere that hires that young. I wouldnt go into drug selling, thats the perfect way to get shot for knowing too much. Maybe read some tutorials on here and use them to build a career or if all else fails, cut grass. find someone with a lawnmower and ask them to cut using their lawnmower until you can get one. My lawn guy always has a wad of hundreds.
sorry for the long post. I wish I had a potato
