talk about a total f**kin waste

I'm a student and every summer, I come home and look for a summer job and I hate job searching!!! It's frustrating and time consuming. But I have to do it because I need the money to pay for school and get me through the year, and once I actually find something, things become so much easier. I feel more secure and after a year of seeing the money in my bank account slowly decline, it’s nice to see some money coming in.

Working can really boost your confidence and give you some independence. I know you are struggling with depression, which makes things even harder, but I honestly think, from what I’ve read and know, that working is probably the best thing for you. It will force you to get out of the house and keep busy. Try getting some career counselling.

You’re not fucked up at all!!! You’ve obviously had some hard knocks in life, and now, you’re suddenly being forced to do something that is new and different, and it’s something that most of us would agree, sucks! It makes perfect sense to me that you would feel tired and defeated at the thought of having to look for work. My advice is to dedicate a couple hours each day to the job hunt and do it as early as possible. Once those two hours are up, let it go and enjoy the rest of your day, but don’t give up! As unfortunate as it is, you kind of need money to live. I hope you find something soon. Feel better and lighten up on yourself. You’ll get through this. :)

just stop being a drain on the system

you need to spend some time with your kids and get motivated again

you sound like you are deeply depressed, go see help while you are still on medicaid, and you may need to get some medication to even out. It doesn't make you abnormal, but it's good that you recognize this.

STUPID WHITE TRASH HILLY BILLY!!!!!!!!!!its not that FUCKING hard...HIGH schoolers have jobs....ur just a waste of time and i fells really sorry 4 ur kids cuz they have a LAZY ASS dad

get a job-it sounds simple but that will give you a schedule of some sorts that you sound like you really need.work will also give you a shot of self worth which you also sound like you need.woking will also set an example for your kids.likely as not,if they think welfare is a normal thing they will end up on it also.

become a scam artists

Even though i think welfare for the most part should be eliminated.I'll give you some advice.well you're obviously depressed b/c you know even if you get a job you'll be flipping burgers,and you wont be able to support your family or yourself.You might actually be able to get financial aid and go to COLLEGE to get a real J-O-B(just tell social services you still need welfare b/c you've decided to go back to school).If that doesnt work,depending on how soon they are going to cut your welfare i suggest you have another kid or you'll be living on the street.
