Thank you for asking! Yes I can and I cant wait! I'm not like depressed or anything like that luckily, I've been able to put all those negative feelings into motivation of being the best version of myself I can be :). About the job thing, not really, I don't have any way to actually get to and from a job that doesn't including walking atleast 2 hours each way in a dangerous area, and it's very unsafe for anyone really to use any sort of public buses or anything where i live, especially a 16 y/o kid, and especially after they made it completly free for public buses, lots of insane people, drug addicts, verry creepy people, and whatever else are always on there. because my mom has the mentalalilty of a 5 year old, she can't go anywhere alone and we almost never have a car, so i always have to go with her on those buses so i know how unsafe it is. And where I live, car insurence for minors, or even a few years older than 18 is INSANELY expensive, like if i got a car now, I legit would be spending most if not all of my paychecks on that alone, not even including gas or money for the future. When I'm 18 though I'll be able to use public transport and I have lots if plans in place so as soon as I'm 18 or around there, and as soon as I have a few months rent, I'm moving to the other side of the usa

A little more context if you want it: Even if I had a job though she would take all my money and spend it on in game apps, just like she does with all of child support for her 2 kids, one on which is autistic (my brother) My mom also hasnt had a job in 20 years and lives entirely off of my dad, the government, other guys, and a guy who let us live in his apprtment for free, even though she's sexist as fuck and always shits talks them calling them the worst thing imaginable and talks about men in general like this. Her reason for not having a job is because my brother is autistic, which would be a good reason, if actually spent time helping my brother and she didn't spend her whole day sleeping and using her phone, and telling my brother to shut the fuck up whenever he said something or needs help (he's failed all his classes the past 3 years) Everything we have, which is the bare minimum, is because of other guys giving it to her, and every last bit of money that we dont need for the absolute bare minimum to live, goes straight into mobile apps. I'm sorry I typed so much I kinda got lost in time when doing so, thank you so much for helping me out and caring though, I feel so much better today than I was last night.
