Yeah I looked at the picture. Who cares how old you look. If you start acting like a man people might start looking at you like you are one.

You're talking to the wrong people.

If you can enlist at 18, you're an adult.

Yet, you cannot drink alcohol.

I don't ever plan on enlisting anyway.

No wonder your such a little bitch you don't even consider yourself a man at 18. Just because mommy tells you your still her little boy doesn't mean its true. Instead of bitching about this house. Why don't you be a man and fix it? Its not hard to pull out some nails, patch holes in walls, paint them and rip up some carpet.

I'm more of a woman at 120lbs. :-/

Maybe I will when we move there? Still months off from going there.

I don't think I will ever consider myself a man... Have you ever SEEN me? Let me find a new photo...http://img132.imageshack.us/im...079302326227083za4.jpg

Why do you care so much about what you look like? I thought I was a man when I was a 120lb. 14 year old. My buddy just went into the army at 120lbs. he never questioned his manhood. I can't even imagine walking around at 18 thinking I'm some boy girl. No wonder you can't get a girlfriend or a friend. You're an 18 year old male walk around like you got a pair.

You did look at the picture didn't you? Most people think I am <14. It's hard to seem like a man when you look like a child. It doesn't get any better with my voice either. It sounds like I still haven't gone through puberty.

Get over yourself. Everything you can find that's wrong with your life is your fault, nobody else's. Nobody owes you anything... you owe your parents. You think you're doing someone a favor by going to college? Wrong, you're a burden because you're using it as an excuse to leech off them.

Right now the best thing for you to do is get a job. Even if it's just part time. Don't ask me where... find a place yourself. Anyplace. This is not a time for you to be picky... you need a job... any job. It doesn't have to be a step toward a career you'd like to pursue... it just has to be a job that pays. I'm guessing you have no employment history, so you can't be picky... you need to take any shit job that is offered to you. And trust me, your first job will be a shit job... there's no way to avoid it. The "good" jobs are taken by people with an employment history that shows they're reliable and trustworthy. You don't have that, and you don't have connections, so you'll start at the bottom like so many others.

I suggest moving out and being homeless for a while. That should give you a whole new perspective.

Move the eff out.

Seriously, i have zero sympathy for you.

I've been on my own since 17.

LOL @ your "problems".

You really need a reality check...your perspective is so messed up it's not even funny.

Two things:

1) It's not your house. Your parents are buying it, and it's their decision. Unless you're chipping in somehow, you don't get a say.
2) You're going to college soon, right? If so, what's the problem? You'll live in the dorms... problem solved.

That's a little over 1.5 years away.

I imagine the general response is: "SUFFER BITCH"

Just move to LA and start sucking cock already.

I see. Even still... if you have such a problem with the house, why not make some money and fix up at least your room? It should help a little.

Actually... most of us are trying to tell you how to not suffer. You have no reason in life to be suffering and yet you are. You have absolutely nobody to blame for that other than yourself.

I do agree that you're a bitch though... and it has nothing to do with how you look btw (although some workout time would help, no gym needed, just push ups, sit ups, and running).

OK, let me put on my serious wizard hat for a minute.

What is measuring the room going to do? If its small, its small. There are some great ways to make small rooms look bigger. Also, its less to clean. More room means more clutter.

Second, you have a free ride with your parents. Be grateful. What if they lost their jobs tomorrow and told you that you had to start paying your own way? 18 is a legal adult. You are choosing to still think, act and react like a child. Make it as funny as you want but my 11 year old son has a better grasp of reality than you do. Your parents don't owe you a damn thing. Your need to learn some humility and gratitude. Your life will be so much better if you start trying to practice those 2 things.

Why don't you go see some of the real world? You lead such a sheltered life that your worst problem is that your free room doesn't fit your wants. Want me to introduce you to my friend that is sleeping in a tent right now? This is in Michigan BTW, so he has to deal with temps in the teens at night. Or my other friend who is working 70+ hours a week to support his dad who is dying. They are so much more grateful than you are even though they have so much less.

Grow up and stop being a bitch.

I don't have a job.

Tell your parents to stop claiming you as a fucking dependent on their taxes (starting with 2008). Then you will be able to get federal aid, as your income probably blows goats.

Not really, you're still considered a dependent regardless of how you are claimed until you reach a certain age or meet specific criteria. That doesn't mean that he won't get federal aid, it just means that they will most likely still assume that his parents will be contributing commensurate to their income.

Actually, Marine Corps Boot Camp sounds like it would really really do you a LOT of good. You need some seriously fucking harsh discipline. And, there are some major side benefits.

Enlisting would:
  • Get you out of your parents house.
  • Provide Food / Clothes / Shelter for you.
  • Show you the benefits of being independent.
  • Change your scrawny candy ass into a finely tuned killing machine.
  • Grow hair on your chest, and help you to locate your missing testicles.
  • Teach you skills that would be useful to you for your whole lifetime.
  • Pay 100% for your college after a couple years.
  • Earn you more cash than working at McDonalds.

FWIW, I agree 100% with this post. I can't imagine a more perfect way for you to unfuck your life. In fact, the only reason I didn't mention it already is, seeing as how you don't have the stones to even go get a McJob, I can't see you joining the marines.

Military would be a great idea for this kid. The big problem would be his weight. He would have to do some serious work to meet the minimum weight for even the Army. That and his extreme lack of testicular fortitude.

My understanding after talking to a recent "graduate" of the Marines, is that they will take you basically no matter what (barring deformity or other disqualifying disease). Once you are in they will send you to training camp to get you up to weight before beginning boot camp. Same thing if you can't run miles at a time, you go to training until you meet minimum standards, then you go back to boot.
