Question by emily:3: I have no idea what to do, plz help” 10points to best answer?
basically im a 17 year old girl. my parents are alcoholics and abusive so obviously im trying to get out of the household asap. im at a breaking point due to the fact that i feel completely helpless. i have no work experience other than a job as a food prepper at a baseball stadium that i quit after my first day (they were so desperate for workers in the last week of the season they hired a 17yrold with no experience. i literally just stood there all day, had NO IDEA what to do, pissed everybody off, and never came back.) four months later i got hired at a subway sandwich shop and once again, after making subs i had no idea what to do in the back of the store and would just stand around until more customers came in. i asked the same questions constantly for about a week but i assumed everybody asks questions when they first get hired somewhere. i could tell i was disliked strongly there and was fired after two months with the only explanation given to me by my boss in an email was “we r letting you go, ive gotten many reports about u and witnessed firsthand its just not a good fit” my self esteem was like smashed after that, i know i have horrible social anxiety and i can’t do another job like that. i don’t know what to do because it literally took me two years to find the subway job and i couldn’t even hold that down. im seriously doubtful now that i can do ANY job, and now that i got fired at subway i can’t use them as a reference which will make it impossible to find another job (EVERYBODY wants experience) i don’t know what to do im desperate for money i need to go to college. i dropped out of high school and got my GED and i seriously need to go to college and i can’t do that without a job. i have no transportation which means i can ONLY get jobs on the busline which narrows job options so much… im thinking about just trying to babysit full time? i need advice!!! please has anyone else ever been in this situation, i am desperate!!!
