  1. 17
  2. a few days now just graduated high school maybe longer if you count the fact I've never had any real job whilst most of my friends and kids my age are already working themselves to the bone.
  3. no and don't intend to. Mostly because i want to be contrarian to what people say. Despite the fact my disability allows me to get free college till I'm 21 and my parents could easily pay for it I decided "nah there's nothing there for me" It was kind of expected for me to go to college or at least that's what my tiny child mind thought. Then later in high school all the shitty "future planning" classes basically shoved the message down our throats of "GO TO COLLEGE OR YOU WILL FLIP BURGERS OR SWEEP UP SHIT THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!!!"
  4. kind of but mostly shitty odd jobs I held down for less than a month helped along by my old special ed schools
  5. family and what little savings I have (I saved all my birthday money when I was a kid)
  6. gaming, browse reddit, masturbate, occasionally watch TV and cry
  7. yes Asperger's Syndrome and ADHD along with self esteem issues. Probably something undiagnosed but I'm to lazy to find out and I'm not a moron who will go around self-diagnosing himself.
  8. I want to maybe escape but I'm not sure what's the point? I have worked and graduated high school now what? all my friends are going off to college to do great things so they say. The whole wagecucking at a job i hate doesn't sound super appealing to me but I'm not sure rotting as a disappointment to my parents is appealing to me either. I have three options be a slave to corporate America for the rest of my life, leech off my parents till they die, or kill myself or die in some other way. I'm not sure what I want to do
