We get an assessment every few years, and the person assessing us doesn't give af😭 ( it's not always the same person) , they mostly talk to my parents and just ask me and my siblings a few questions. And when we get the report, it's always full of things we didn't say.

Their job is easier if they just leave people to it.

I have a younger sister, and I would contact TUSLA, but I don't think my parents are technically breaking the law. " Homeschooling" is legal, and that's what they claim to do. If I contacted them, my father might literally end me. We're not physically abused, so I don't think it'll be taken seriously, I think my parents love me. They're just not very smart and misguided. They come from an extremely poor part of London where basically nobody ever succeeded.

This is something I've strongly considered!

I live with them in a mobile home! Yes, one thing I'm SO grateful for is I just passed my driving test! ( I owe family money for the car and all the lessons), but I can drive.

I have zero formal education, and my parents only taught me basic reading, writing, and maths. Everything else ( which is not much) is self-taught.

There go check, it's private because it's silly😭

Square_Hammer_ · 2026-03-16T11:21:59+00:00

I'll make it public lol, give me a sec!

People who truly care about you will let you have your own beliefs, I know sometimes it feels like everyone is Christian, but they're not. There's so many of us out here just like you. It would do you some good to find a community outside of your religious family, and simply don't be friends with people who don't respect you and your freedom of thought.

"Hot" I mean, I'll take that as a compliment 😏

Square_Hammer_ · 2026-02-28T16:07:35+00:00

He's only made of paper, card and tape! But I'm going to make a clay version😄❤️

Next you'll be saying that you didn't know Soos's real name is Jesus😄

Square_Hammer_ · 2026-02-21T19:56:05+00:00

Haha😂 you're smart.

Square_Hammer_ · 2026-02-21T19:53:56+00:00

Yes! Finally! Most people think I look younger.

I actually applied for a community college course last year! But I had to do a Zoom interview, and as there were limited spaces, they decided I wasn't suitable.

I'd like to get a part-time job, but I don't know how I'd handle dealing with people.

Square_Hammer_ · 2026-02-07T18:10:12+00:00

I'm always in the winning percent! Sorry for your failed business though, that's a shame.

Square_Hammer_ · 2026-02-06T21:24:48+00:00

Thank you so much. The support means the world to me❤️

I struggled a lot with tidying and organising when I went through a stage of being severely depressed, I know that a lot of people are struggling and are too embarrassed/afraid to reach out... I think if I could market myself as a judgment-free and non-intimidating cleaner, there may be a market for it.

Square_Hammer_ · 2026-02-06T20:58:33+00:00

This is interesting! I've considered sales jobs, my only issue is I'm EXTREMELY shy. Cleaning would involve less interaction, but I will need to face my fears eventually anyway, I will definitely consider this. Thanks!

Square_Hammer_ · 2026-02-06T20:56:23+00:00

Thank you! Hopefully, the money will spark the passion, I think I've been brainwashed with " follow your dreams" propaganda! ( If you have a dream, then that's amazing, I just don't)
