Mental help needed.

[Rhastus]

all experiences are to further you along. you alone can control many of them.
as far as a car,yeah i get made fun of for riding a bike everywhere but i alos am probably in better shape than them/waste less money on gas/"save the planet"
clothes have two reasons, warmth, decency. don't break those and you are wearing the right clothes.
there are people anywhere who will be the way you don't want them to be, try instead to be around more and more people who are the way you want to be

I've been through what your going through and I'm sure many other people have too. Personally, I think you need to stop smoking reefer for a while. A long break is a good thing. The first few days will be boring as shit but eventually you won't even think of weed. If you need it so badly to resort to crime and stealing pills than its not working for you right now. Adolesence is a piece of cake for some but for others like me and you its a living hell. But you have to ask yourself one question: Where do you want to be ten years down the road?

i totally agree with this. i've been through plenty of crap in my adolescence, but i've managed to get through it with the help of my friends, and some ganja on the side.but i recently lost my job so i decided to quit smoking till i get a new job. if you have to resort to stealing, i say its time to go to rehab.

My grandma *did* put me in juvie, and she never got custody back. I was deemed 'incorrigible'. In other words, I didn't obey my grandma, just pretty much did what I wanted. I remember one night I told her I'd be back at 3 AM or so. She said she hadn't approved that, and I replied, "I wasn't *asking*." I was a little prick.

So I went into juvie at 16, and from there to a foster family (who were really quite nice). They threatened to keep me in the juvenile court system until I turned 21 (which they can do, btw). I countered by proposing that I join the Army, which they found acceptable, and I joined the Army at 17 (although I was close to 18).

Don't be such a whiny pussy. Blaming your life on the fact that your father isn't around, that's just BS. Be a man, take responsibility for your own life. My father left when I was 5 (not prison, just bailed on us), my mother died when I was 12 and almost took me with her. I went to 18 different schools by the age of 12, at least. We were poor, foodstamps, welfare, shitty clothes, bad food and often no food, all that jazz. So what? Life is about overcoming obstacles, or being crushed by them. If you don't want to be crushed by them, you better start making a plan to overcome them. Here's a tip: smoking pot won't help you overcome the obstacles life has thrown at you. Get your shit together, *then* smoke pot.

yeah jamstigator, you REALLY overcame those obstacles by running away to the fucking army you dumb coward. you went to a place where everything would be handed to you on a silver platter. food, money, clothes... and you got them all for free. sure, you went to basic training. great. it's because you are too retarded to function in society that you had to join a place that turns you into expendable meat for old and fat men to use as they please.

some people who arent as cowardly and ignorant as jamstigator can make it in the real world. get a job. it's a start.

[Smirk]

I asked for help, I'm not being a little bitch. I never cried throught any of this, I just explained my life style, and wanted other opinions to see what I should do.

HEY PIXEL.... DONT BE A PRICK!!!!!!!

jamstigator was just tryin to lend a hand to this kid, and he really IS right, unless "smirk" has a problem with the advice...... you need to shut the hell up, you dont know him,me, smirk or no one else....

why dont people quit actin like dickheads (pixel and smokey McPot) and just help people in need.....GOD!!!! i wish i was a mod

[Captain Jack Sparrow]

Guys chill. There's a lot of bs on the internet, but when I read this kid's story I honestly felt bad for him. I've had a rough life, I'm sure most of us have at one point. Jamstigator not everyone can just up and overcome their "obstacles" in life. That is extremely ignorant to say the least. Some people need a little more help than others. It really irks me when I hear people say "oh, well they should have gone to college and bettered themselves, the only reason for their failures is themselves." Now I know a college degree isn't everything, but that's what I hear a lot and was just using it as an example. That's a complete load of ignorant bs. Some people in life who deserve lots don't get much, and those who don't deserve anything get everything. C'est la vie.

Go to therapy!!

I don't know why more people don't do this! Its a simple and very effective way to deal with your problems, especially ones like these!

If you don't have enough money to go to therapy (because it can be expensive) then go to rehab.. its good for you.

[Big Calhoun]

OK, a little reality check...

You have a problem. If you are addicted to being high and will do whatever to achieve that high, you have a problem and need to seriously get some help.

Along those lines, you are 16; be sure that in fact your grandmother can have you legally committed to a rehab and/or to a juvenile facility w/o your input. Unless you are legally emancipated, whoever has legal guardian status over you can essentially 'sign you away'. They can ask them to keep you till you're 18. Then on yout 18th birthday, you get $20, some ill-fitting clothes, and a bus ticket to somewhere.

Next, you think you want to live the 'thug' life. If you're stressed now, what do you think your life is going to be like afterwards? Are you prepared for people to be friendly towards you only because you can get them something? Are you ready to watch over your shoulder every day? Are you willing to risk getting busted, getting a felony, and fucking your life over? Have you ever been shot? Stabbed? Stabbed with an ice pick? Slashed with a box cutter? Had someone sick 2 pitbulls on you? SHot someone? Do you like not having a steady source of reliable income? Have you ever attempted to outrun the cops? Have you ever been in jail? You really need to think about because, Sonny Boy, I don't think you really understand what you'd be getting into? You feel like no one think you exist now? What happens when you catch 2 in the back of the head by a crackhead that dumps your body in the woods? You really won't exist then...

Look man, nothing you're going through is new. I've been through shit that'll make your head spin. But with that comes learning. You still have alot of learning to do. If you seriously want to better your situation, you need to seek help for the drug problem, stay focused in school. and volunteer your time. If you do that, I guarantee good things will come your way....in time. Greatness doesn't happen overnight, it must be achieved.
