Tough Stuff

Tue Jun 16, 2009, 6:18 PM
Finding a job has proved to be more difficult than previously perceived.

I understand that with the economy and all that, it's supposed to be hard. But it isnt even about that usually. I'm under eighteen, and thats their only concern - even if their company hires under aged workers. They say they'll call back. Do they? Of course not.

Never mind the fact that I have a High School Diploma. They look at zero work history and see a lazy teenager, but I was working my ass off in night school and day school... I COULDNT work.

Thats all Im doing with my time. Getting applications, applying online, turning things in and trying to keep in contact with these places.

What was the point of working hard to get good grades if this diploma wont get me anything? Whats the point of being the salutatorian of your high school when everybody looks at you the same way as the high school drop out?

This piece of paper hasnt gotten me anything so far. It hasnt gotten me any colleges begging me to attend, and it certainly hasnt prepared me for life.


My principal had a conversation with me recently when I came to visit the school. I told him how I cant seem to find a job anywhere. He said that the school system is failing its students by sending them off with a piece of paper and wishes for good luck.
Next year he's finally able to hire someone to help students get jobs during school (to earn as a credit) and after they graduate.

Thats wonderful for them, but as for me, I am still screwed.

I leave August/September to a new state, and Id really like to leave with some work experience...


I am incredibly stressed and am continuously isolating myself from everyone due to it.

On that note, I downloaded a pretty new skin. But it wont let me use it. :(

You have no idea how incredibly jealous I am. I got tickets for a show, but had to get a refund because I didnt meet the age requirement for the venue :(

Needless to say, I was crushed.


So uh... You... You gonna give me that poster?
