my moms mom left our family when she was 11 or 12 and her brother ran away and we heard from him this for the first time ever and then when my mom was 14 her dad(my papa) went in the military and my mom was is foster care for a long time and eventually he came back and u will pull through it like my mom did

Answer #2

Answer #3

You are dealing with what you NEED to do and you WANT to do. There are no easy answers to this dilema. It is not fun being forced to make adult decisions when you are not ready and still wanting the comfort of parents to take of you. You are going through what it is like not having adults to count on. Don’t let your siblings feel the same thing. As gothik suggested, there are ways to make some money for your family. If you make these decisions now, you will be rewarded later. Your siblings are lucky to have you.

Answer #4

The family needs money, probably the easiest way to get it is cut grass at your age. Ask neighbors to let you cut grass for 10-20 dollars a lawn, if its a big yard ask for 20.

If you live in a city, then try to find a job as a cashier at a fast food place, it’s going to suck, but some of the worlds greatest people came from the worst of families.

Never give up on life. Always tell yourself “I will succeed.” And make sure you do everything you need to, so that you can beat the crap out of society and stereo types.

Good luck, be safe.
