This OP could well be genuine but that would be all the more reason to give him sensible, mature advice rather than encouraging him to rely on the welfare state at such a young age.

I'm not trying to to rely on welfare I do my bit ! i pay my way !
I only lowered my hours because my health is suffering I needed help ok I NEED HELP are you happy now ?
And note that for my age group I work VERY hard I Don't get given anything no mummy or daddy to buy me lunch, buy me a car , take me on holiday.
And yes that feeling is bad but that's life , what do i do ? I get a job ! I try to better my life, But it's hard ok everything keeps going or getting taken away from me but still i keep trying. Two hours it took me to push two wooden crates over two miles , was given nasty looks by people driving there cars Two people started to call my names , you know how bad that made me feel ? but I kept going.
This sounds dumb but i was proud of myself I woke up with no bed and after all there names, after all the hand pains I made it and as soon as i find more wood I can make my bed.
so come on anyone who wants to hate I'm ready And I'm strong.0 -

Listen guys I don't want sympathy, I don't want hate , I just want a happy life, I want to be healthy I want to be my best.
The only reason I made this was to get some help and advice From People who Are willing and able to do so.

I am a person And I'm trying to fix my life If anything I do makes you angry in some way then please walk away you don't have to make things worse for me and lower yourself as a person, Just be your best.

Sweetie, when I was 19 (I'm 35 now), there was no WTC and I also owned my first flat. I had 2 jobs totalling an 18 hour weekday and all day on a Sat. I was also working towards my ACII exam at my main job....plus I went out and caned it every weekend;)
I am mindful that you may still be grieving for your Mother but if you are that determined then you need to get off your tush and work work work and have a good life...shelve the career aspirations for now - your main priority is to get a regular income and some savings. You are 19 - you have your whole life to study, train and be successful but you need to deal in the here and now.
And c'mon...you must know yourself that 21 hours is a crappy contribution?!;)
I actually believe that you do want to suceed but you SO need to get the mindset changed...you should be falling into bed each night bloody knackered as you have worked a long day...but hey, you're 19, fit, young and healthy with no dependants so get yourself out there and shape a life then do your retraining.
Good luck...and I would stop with the haters theme...seriously...it's not hate talk you are reading it's just sheer incredulility;)
Prove them - and yourself -correct0
