I just want to know what would you do in my position

Im 17 and a junior in high school and Iv been getting caught up excessively that its getting out of hand. I got arrested at school a few weeks ago for possession of marjuana after I got done selling to the homies and It was just crumbs. I lost all my trust from my dad and mom and family. Iv been trying to get trust back after my arrested back 2 years ago when I stole their truck. I am still awaiting my court date but I so far just got asigned some drug classes which is ok. After that everything went back to normal kind of. My parents were still letting me go to "track" after school.(I got kicked out of track and now I just hang out in that time) so I was still happy and shit. Its all went to shit this past weekend when I got drunk and high on shrooms. Everything went to shit, especially when my sister found me on the side of my street picked me up, and then called my mom and they tried to drug test me and then called the cops on me and they were in my room. The storys really long but it was ****en crazy. That weekend cost me like $200 because I lost my phone which hurts me because I had so much shit on it. Im no longer able to stay after school. Im still selling bud and want to get rid of my stock to buy a new phone. I still get high and buzzed at lunch. My grades are decent besides the 1 high F i have. My family thinks im a loser and I don't know what to do from here. Im not susicidal at al so don't think Im thinking that shit cuz people who do that are just pussys. I'm also pissed at myself because the bitches I accually like are all anti drugs and won't go out with me cuz of the shit im in right now. I just want advice. Im planning on running away June 8 (last day of school) and until my court date. I really don't know though cuz my moms friend also lined me up with a job interview tomorrow at mcdonalds. Im really confuzed especially with other shit thats also going down in my life.

OK. After reading this thread I was going to answer with the stereotypical "STOP BREAKING THE LAW ASSHOLE!". But I decided to give this a proper response. The thing is you're not going to like it but it has to be said.



Boo Hoo, I want to run away... You sound like a little child.

You are a pathetic thief, drug dealer, no good pathetic waste of space and unless you want that yo be your legacy you WILL listen to me now.

1. Stop with the drugs. It doesn't make you the big man, it doesn't make you cool. All it does it f*ck you up. There's a reason none of the girls like you. It's because you're pathetic. The reason they're anti-drugs is because they have a shred of intelligence.

2. Stop stealing shit. If you where my kid you'd be on the streets by now. You're lucky your parents give a crap about you. At 17 you should either be looking for a job, have a job or be working on your education so that you can pay your own way in this world. Not stealing peoples trucks. Do you want to end up in prison being raped by a big guy while he calls you 'Jenifer'... because that's where you're heading.

3. How about you stop worrying about stupid shit like your phone or your "stock" and get your life in order. You're 17 and already a pathetic loser with a criminal record and likely no future at this rate. How about you pull your life around while you've still got a chance to change that. You know, go to this interview at McDonalds. Try to actually get the job. Earn some money. Pay your way. Have some self-respect. Have some respect for other people. Stop getting "high" to get through the day and show some responsibility... maybe then the occational girl will see the good in you, but honestly, there has to BE good in you for them to see it, and I'm not seeing it. Go on prove me wrong.

4. Learn to write. You can't spell, you can't use grammar, you can't use paragraphs. While I know my English skills are poor yours are pathetic. It may not seem important to you but I think it'd be a good idea for you to learn basic literacy before you graduate. Unless you want to be an unemployable bum for your entire life.

5. Stop lying and stop "hanging out". Is that really the best thing you can come up with. Lying so you can stand around on the street corner with other losers and take hallucinogens until your brain has a small seizure.... really. This is your idea of fun? Why not try to get a hobby, because that's truly pathetic.

So there you have it. Five things you need to do to make your situation better. But your question was. "What would you do in my position?" and honestly, I'd probably have a breakdown after realising what a complete failure and utterly pathetic peice of crap I'd managed to become all before the age of 18, and probably be contemplating throwing myself of the nearest bridge... but then I hold myself to high standards and you don't come anywhere close to them.

Now, you can take this as the advice it's intended to be, or you can be offended at it. Your choice. I however, have done you the biggest favour ever. I've just let you see how the rest of the world sees you... PATHETIC. How about you change that.

------------------------------

Again, I was going to leave this response at that, but I noticed you replied and I need to address some of what you said.




Then f*ck you. You're a waste of space and quite frankly a horrible human being if you think that's a good goal. I hope you get locked up like you deserve.



How about you get a job instead then, you f*cking moron.



You don't deserve a summer vacation. You've done nothing to take a vacation from. You deserve prison and quite frankly if you "run away" like the pathetic little child that you are, I hope your family outright disowns you because they deserve more than a pathetic trouble causing drug peddling criminal leaching from them like you are now.



You're not going to have any kids. To have kids you need a few things. You need a woman who will actually want to have sex with you, enough money to be independent, and enough integrity that the mother of your kids will want to stay with you or at least let you see your kids. Quite frankly this shows just how immature you are.

You don't want to be "some kid with no life". Well how about you experience life then? So far you've stolen vehicles, ****ed about on street corners and had a lot of self-induced seizures from drugs. WELL F*CKING DONE! You've done nothing.

Have you travelled to other countries. Learned a trade. Fallen in love. Seen any of the modern wonders of the world. Become engrossed in a good book/film/game. Developed a meaningful hobby. Built something with your own hands. Learned a foreign language. Formed an opinion on politics, philosophy and religion. Nurtured an artistic flare in yourself or anyone else. Had a truly deep friendship. Shared your time with someone in need just to see them smile. Maintained a home. Formed a family. Saved a life. Comforted someone as they died. Took the time to appreciate nature. Studied something just for the pleasure of learning...

I've done EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE THINGS! You've done how many? I'm willing to bet none. I have loads to tell my future children and I didn't need to be a petty drug peddling criminal to do it. You're a pathetic waste of skin and honestly, I hope this post makes you REALLY re-asses your life, because the fact that NGU is treating you nicely is only due to them fearing moderator flying up their ass for flaming you. You need to hear this. If you're doing this just so you have something to tell your kids... you kids will be ashamed of you.

First off, it sounds like you are asking for advice, so take people's replies into consideration. And actually take them into account.

Here's what I suggest:

• Get rid of your weed. Give it all to a friend and have him sell it for you, but give him half the profit.
  
• Get the job at McDonalds. Look good at your interview. Be professional.
  
• Stop hanging around the wrong people.
  
• Quit drugs all together. They aren't worth it.
  
• Take your drug class seriously.
  
• Talk to a couselor at school?
  
• Do not run away from home. That will make things worse.
  

Soon, you will be turning 18. If you didn't already know, living in jail is not exactly the funnest thing you will ever do.

Stick close to your family, clean up your act, get good grades in school, graduate and go to college.

Good luck with your life and I wish you the best.

Thanks for responding and that was a logical response and I understand. First I just want to point out that I got a girls that we are friends with benefits so I dont need help in there I just mad that girls that i accually like dont care for me.

I know drugs ****ed me up but I do live life as I go hiking, traveling, and also get ****ed up all the time.

Also I have money management skills as right now when Im not on the streets I play video games and make money and I SAVE every penny of that money for college and my car.

Im just asking what would you do in my position cuz frankly I dont regret much of what Iv been doing as Im not hurting anyone.

If you look at me and talk to me Im an averge mexican who you would never new my life was like that because the media and other peers have made you think that drugs will send you into the ground and live on the streets.

I have my shit together mostly as Im passing all my classes. I have a 3.00 weighted GPA and Im planning on going to college.

Maybe you may think im a pathetic excuse for a human but you have to remember you only live 1 time and most people spend their life as actors.

Doing the same routine everyday with small variations.

I think about my future and Ill never do anything to hurt someone but I just hope I never go to prison as that is my greatest fear at this point.

I can get clean pretty fast but as of right now I dont have motivation to do so.

How? You break the law, Lie to your family members, Steal, Risk health complications, and in all honesty have very little consideration for others. When I put it in perspective like that it makes more sense doesn't it?


Honestly, get off the drugs and see how amazing life can be.


With your record you won't get into any prestigious school just at first glance. You would be fortunate for a University, speaking on this what colleges did you apply to?
Side Note: You mention you're Hispanic, if you tried you might be able to obtain some scholarship money.


You are dead wrong here. You have probably sent your parents into shock and completely disappointed them with the rest of your family. You have tainted your future, don't completely ruin it.


They haven't yet because you are 17. If you are caught dealing drugs at 18 you will face some serious charges. I probably could tell considering you get high frequent enough to get noticed. Honestly, I have had family members who have gone through rehab, I know what drugs will do to people who can't control themselves.


What are you talking about? Just a second ago you said, "My grades are decent besides the 1 high F i have." A high F is probably a 57%. You are going to need to take summer school for that alone, if you have D's you will as well. As for college, your best bet at this point is community.


I agree, but you offer absolutely nothing to society and break laws. Not just that, but you want to break laws. Actors don't do this which is why they function in society.


Why is this bad? Isn't life about enjoyment while being generous, caring about others, and not breaking the law.


Kill the drugs, focus on school and a job and you will get clean fast. If you can't do this, go to a rehab facility.


What about the fact your conscience feels your doing something wrong so it decided you should post what's going on in your personal life in a forum?

You will never find anyone who wants to commit to someone on a dangerous unstable road. You will kill all opportunities for careers if you don't change.

Be glad your mom and dad care . im only 14 and shit but doing that kinda shits common where im at. a really close friend of mine smoked 2 or 3 times a day and her parents didnt care and bought the shit for her . since then shes almost overdosed on generic vikodins and shes gotten in truble with cops 2 times. the cops r drug testing her weekly, and instead of stopping her parents r buying her d tox pills every week, and shes ran away a few times . anywaysss be glad your parents care take the job buy a phone with the money and dump the weed. that shits expensive if your getting really ****ed up ur burning at leest $20 of weed a day, stop smoking and youll be loaded and have urself a new phone bro, and if you really r into those girls talk to em be like ohh i wanna stop smoking can u help me? they love that shit ahahahah im not critizing u or anything but put the drugs behind you u have to quit eventually, most jobs drug test, and it eats up money like ****.
