Living free is nice, but it seriously makes it hard for you to have a social life.

As for the house, it really isn't that bad, I've lived in far worse before, you'll survive.

I can't do either. I go to a community college. As well I don't have money to get a place.

:confused: Get a job and get some roommates.

Agreed, your city has a college, even if it is just a community college, there will still be apartments in the area looking for room mates (pick up a local paper at look up the classified). Heck, even let your parents know that you want to move into your own apartment (in a respectful manner) and I'm pretty sure they will help you, if you ask nicely. Just let them know that you find it hard to have a social life living in their house.

And get a job flipping burgers or something, Who knows, maybe you'll find the career you've been longing for.

Parents showed me the house they are most likely getting. (They are 100% confident; if there is a god they would fucking not get my parents this house) So, me being the optimistic person goes to the house thinking, "Hmm, this will be a nice house I have heard good things. I think this is the same house they were saying about owners keep it nicely." Well, it wasn't. It wasn't that nice house. No, indeed... See, my parents... They think they can fix everything, apparently. Of course they don't realize how much effort fixing these OMG HUGE problems require. SO I am looking at this house, at first I am thinking, "Oh shit.." Soon as we pull up. I was looking at the house as we were going by and I am like, "NONONONONONO" Screaming it in my head... We pull in and well.. Shit-storm already fell upon me. I already knew this was a POS from the outside. It looks like crap from the outside, and the inside is no better. Let's just say these people must have had 4 kids and never taught them how to clean. Because there are HUGE amounts of stains in the carpetting and I rather we just toss the whole thing out. There are nails all over the walls and these are not just ones where you can pull them out either, you'd have to pull out a 5"x5" bit of the wall to get them out.. My parents just made it sound so good, and let me down. The garage is shit, but they said it was great. It's terrible.

I just fucking hate everything. The room I am going to be in is even smaller than the one I am in now. I would fucking move out if I could right now, but I can't afford it. Seriously, 40 hours a week at min wage won't get a place to live here! It's fucking insanity, and they never listen.

anyway, fucking do-it-yourselfer meets children meets morons and you get this house. They set up some "surround sound" in the living room and it looks like shit on a stick. First off, tiny ass speakers are not going to get you any good audio. These speakers they put in must have been TINY. Probably sounded like crap too... There are wires everywhere, they fed so many through the carpet and they are all over the walls.. There are stains ALL OVER THE WALLS. The bedroom my parents picked out for me has a ton. The bathrooms are terrible, and the fixtures are horrid. (Cheapest fixtures you can imagine) It's like, so fucking bad. We looked at a place before this that I thought was bad(like I thought it had a bad backyard and the garage was too small), but now I fucking wish we had gotten that place because it was way better. Although we couldn't because it was practically sold when we looked.

To end it all, I fucking hate life... I don't know when, or how it will ever pick up. I really don't. I just imagine myself in misery for the next, two years I guess... Then maybe I will go off to a university, and be semi-happy? I imagine I could get a crack house that is better than this. You don't have to respond, we can let this float away forever.. Just yeah.. Rant.

I did, could you build the bridge please?

That's exactly why you are in such a shithole of a situation. You refuse to do anything for yourself, if you want to get anywhere in life you have to have motivation and desire to be better. You could just give up now and forever live with your parents, or stop being a lame ass whiney emo kid, grow up get a job to pay for an apartment with roommates and get working on school.

You don't have to decide what career to follow while in community college, stay there for 2 years and then transfer to a 4 year school and pick a degree. Feeling bad for yourself, and even worse asking everything to be handed to you on a silver platter will not get any better quality of life then what you have right now.

1. Get in fetal position.
2. Get under a table. (I understand a table won't fit in your room so try ther kitchen/dining room but any closed-in area should suffice.
3. Rock gently and sing nursery rhymes.


This works for me everytime.

WTF.... come back in 20-30 years when you have experienced some real stress in life. Until then you can probably get by with masturbation. Your dad should throw your whiny ungrateful ass in a tent in the back yard.

Have a discussion with your parents to see if they would move into a smaller house that costs less, and at the same time use some of the money they would save to put you in an apartment for 1-3 months on the condition that you get a job. After those first few months you'd be on your own.

They wouldn't do that. I know them well enough to know they wouldn't do that, ever. They would laugh at the idea. "Us buy a cheaper house so you can go live in an apartment by yourself? BWhahahahahaha."

Just be like, "You guys will have one less head in the house, so it will make it a lot less crowded."

Hah... I think they rather concentrate on getting my half-brother and my SIL to leave first. My brother who is 26, doesn't have a job. :-/ He doesn't have a job, and is married... Wtf. They don't have enough money to live alone either. If it wasn't for my parents paying a lot of the rent where we live, he would have to get a job. But now he probably thinks he can freeload the whole way. :-/ I don't understand it.

Anyway, I am going to get a job next year. It's on my resolution list, no worries.


Why wait? Plenty of McDonald's open today.

You aren't allowed to have an opinion on it, it's your parents house and they are kind enough to let you live there.

Kind enough to fulfill their responsibility. How virtuous.

If my kids ever talked like you are talking their ass would be out of the house immediately and disowned. It's very ungrateful and disrespectful.
You can't "disown" them - you have a legal responsibility and can be arrested for throwing your child out. And you won't get them back. Clearly, you have low, low, low standards for unconditional love.
