Terrible mistakes I've made in the past few years

[Mike_Yates]

I told myself that after I graduated high school I would take a year off to research education and career opportunities. Then I was going to continue my education at a community college or trade school, finish, then start a career.

It's been 3 1/2 years since I graduated and I keep pressing my mother about why I can't continue my education and she keeps misleading me.

I can't do this by myself because I have absolutely no money or means of transportation. I was told that these things would be taken care of financially. Obviously I was HORRIBLY lied to and mislead.

I also don't have any health insurance and I am disinformed about that as well.

My family has almost $1,000,000 in the bank and I can't understand for the life of me why these things would be unaffordable and unattainable. I get stonewalled whenever I inquire about it.

Living at home with my family is like a bad CIA movie. Closed door conversations, private phone calls, mysterious arguing, papers being burned or shredded, etc... This cloak and dagger bullshit makes me angry to the point where I want to hit someone!

I should have just gotten a job (any job I could find) immediately after finishing high school. Of course I would need to take public transportation or have someone take me to work due to the fact I don't have a drivers license (I am in no mental state to be operating a motor vehicle, it wouldn't be safe)

I deeply regret not having sought employment after graduating from HS. I didn't know that education, health insurance, getting a car, and so forth would be so difficult to obtain. My job options with only a high school diploma are EXTREMELY limited, and that's not even mentioning the weak economy. I thought I'd earn an associates degree from a community college and then see where I went from there. Maybe transfer to $5,000 per year state university.

Is it true that you have to pay a health insurance company thousands upon thousands of dollars before they activate your insurance plan? This could be the reason why getting a private health insurance plan has been a grueling 1 1/2 year long rouse of being lied to and mislead. I wish someone would just fucking tell me and not light up a cigarette and get testy every time I ask. I used to be on a family plan but it expired because I got too old.

It's absolutely inconceivable how a mother would lie to and intentionally mislead her own son about his future. Most parents have money and assets set aside for these things. I have no idea what the fuck is going on because nobody tells me anything. They just drink wine, light up cigarettes, and cry.

I need an education, I don't want to be stuck working at McDonalds or the home depot for the rest of my life.

Honestly the only thing holding you back is YOU! You're an adult & need to live your life like the rest of us. I managed to get a college degree with NO help from my parents. I got a job at Walmart to pay for that education.....again, no parental help. Probably 98% of the people here were in the same boat, yet we're not sitting around bitching about what we lack. Its called "being a grown up".....you should try it.

Quit whining son life is hard, get a job and work your way through school like millions before you did.

I was in special education and I have below-average intelligence.

College could be virtually impossible for me. Not to mention the physics and calculus requirements for ALL degrees!

Go to North Dakota get a job in the energy industry, the place is booming you'll be able to find a job there. Work hard for a few years, save your money, lot of companies will pay for an industry oriented education as well. Get serious about your future. You have to take care of yourself in this world.

I'm supposed to move to North Dakota with no money and no car?

You have more excuses than any one I've ever seen. College is not impossible. I have a bachelor's degree & didn't have to take physics or calculus to get that degree. Most colleges have a special program for people who have learning disabilities. Your problem is that you enjoy whining about what you can't do, instead of going out & making it work for you. I figure if my sister's best friend, who has cerebral palsy, can get a teaching degree, anyone can get one. You don't have to become a freaking doctor or scientist. Get a degree in art, or literature. Since you like to write constantly, get a journalism degree. There's so much to learn & as my dad always says, "There ain't nothing stopping you but fear & an anchor, & I don't see a chain coming out of your ass."

Insurance depends on what plan you're on. My work pays for the majority of it & I have to pay a $500 deductible. They cover everything after I hit that $500. Different plans cost different...check around. If you're as horribly mentally challenged as you claim, you could probably get the state to pay for everything.

It doesn't matter how much money your parents have in the bank; its their money. They earned it, they can spend it how they want. Just because your their kid, there's nothing that says you're entitled to any of it.

Right on. It is the job of parents to teach children to be resourceful and independent not to make them dependents.

Have you looked into financial aid or student loans? You can live on campus and not have to worry about transportation. You can get insurance through the college. There is a disabilities act that ensures you will get equal opportunities, tutoring, or any help you need while you are there. I understand your fear of stepping out on your own, but if you are serious about wanting an education, then you need to pursue one yourself.

I have 3 degrees and have not taken a single class in physics or calculus.

Dear Mr. Yates,

We regret to inform you that your application for unemployment benefits have been denied. We applaud the efforts of your mother for applying on your behalf. In the future, we strongly urge you to come to one of our unemployment offices in person.

We have repeatedly suggested that a portion of your parents' $1,000,000 bank account be set aside for a college fund on your behalf. Sadly, all account's managers in your area agree you are incapable of managing such a fund. Unfortunately, no charities are willing to step forth on your behalf.

We further regret to inform you that the secret 'CIA' meetings were a unified effort to avoid hurting your feelings.

Despite our best efforts to supply your mother with job leads, McDonald's and Home Depot informed us you did not come to your job interviews. Therefore, gainful employment from either employer was not unavailable.

We do indeed have some good news for you though. A Mr. Forrest Gump has come forward on your behalf. Mr. Gump has a position available as a groundskeeper at a prominent university and his estate in Alabama. Mr. Gump also informs us he has high hopes you will accept his offer of room and board, along with a substantial allowance, at his residence in Greenbow, Ala. Should you enroll at a local community college in the Greenbow area. His son, Forrest Gump, Jr., is willing to assist you in your enrollment and subsequent studies.

Mr. Gump also feels that since you will be using his riding mower, no driving license will be necessary. No need for the worries of health insurance either, Mr. Gump pays doctors and hospitals in cash.

We, at the Unemployment Office, have also set up a donation jar in our lobby on your parents' behalf. We agree that cigarette smoking and wine drinking is the best method available to them for dealing with your plight.

Good luck in your future endeavors. We sincerely hope you have no need to return to your parents' home nor occupy the space in our offices.

Sincerely,

Anonymous.

Hmm....with that nice post, I'd say we're done stroking Mike's complex for the day & wait with baited breath over what new excuse or "theory" thread he posts next. What a dull place it'd be, without all his dead horses strewn around the boards.
