Someone once asked...

“I am 17 yr old girl in 1st yr of clg. There are a lot of things weighing me down. I have a bad relationship with my parents. There isn't a single day when i don't silently cry in my house. I can't share it with anyone bcz it seems they will consider me pathetic. And we are also from poor financial background so I hate asking them for money but I don't earn .. i want to but can't understand from where to start online coz I don't evn have any skills. And then I see my rich classmates having all fun and also they all are from great schools so have more experience and knowledge so I highkey feel so dumb coz they are genuinely enjoying their life and having fun while I just exist. I just dont know anything about what i should do or want to do in future and my family just a lot of things.”

See first thing family problem which u don't want to share it to anyone atleast journal it down so you won't think too much about it then poor and rich is nothing matters I know u might feel a bit jealous or bad seeing them but ur parents are trying hard to provide u wtever they can and coming to skills try learning video editing or investing anything there r many free courses in YouTube u can even try for many kart time jobs once u turn 18 just don't waste your time thinking all this take action instead of thinking and sitting

Hey... First of all relax... Life is pretty much hard on everyone and just because you don't have a so called life or enjoyment doesn't mean you cannot enjoy life.. you can try out drawing or singing or acting no matter how bad you feel it is.. its nice to wobble some word out or on paper or write a diary ( well I generally do that when I am overwhelmed) And you are not dumb cause even I existed that life.. prolly try making peace with yourself.. discover what you like smol smol step at a time. For example if you like to wander around, try walking a certain distance and return or visit a park once in awhile. Try making goodie friends who will talk to you. For skill set I would recommend you first to try enjoying things you love rather than comparing your life.. and if you are too much in need I would recommend crocheting or else even open an art/writer account on insta or wordpress and post some stuffs. It takes time but trust me it would be worth it.. or better you can start with youtube as well. Btw rn I am 21 ( final year law student) still unemployed so yeah it's alright to take it easy on yourself :) Existing is a part of your life, dear.
