What do you do if your life is like this...?

Pull yourself together. I went to a ghetto middle school , I know how it feels. But now things are better for me. Where do you live? If its nyc... then your parents shouldn't have a problem getting a job. Why don't your parents find a job at a mcdonalds or another fast food place? They have to work... food stamps won't cut it, they are given to low income families, but you know they can also get a job. Their ways of getting money are not your concern you know? That is your parents' job, and seriously it is not fair for you to go through all of this stress of working and going to school... Your 12, and you act like your in college and that your life is over. You are not a slut, don't say that. Stop this drama with your friends, just stick with the people that care for you. FOcus, and I mean freaking focus on your studies. Thats what I did in middle school.. and guess what? I got accepted into the bronx high school of science in nyc and I enjoyed 4 years. And now i go to the city college of ny, a great academically challenging school in nyc in a great computer science program I love. I hope to be a computer software engineer... hopefully. But yeah, stop worrying, it is not your concern. Stop making up for your parents' deficiencies, but learn from them... Get your grades up and get into a top high school. You need to work hard in middle school, get the best grades so that you do not have to go to a ghetto high school. Ghetto high schools are 50 times worse than ghetto middle schools... Get into a good high school work hard and get into a good college, and then take out loans. Finish college go to grad school and start paying your loans off. Get a good job and relax then... But really stop ruining your youth. This is the age to have fun with friends, study a little bit(not too much, theres plenty of time for that in high school and college). Believe me, enjoy yourself, because once you enter college, all your fun will be diminished... Good luck and be positive.
