Just a quick comment, maybe you could go back to school/college/university and increase your qualifications so in the big bad world you can obtain a better job or put you above the rest?

I was in full time education till 22.. just so that i could have a good chance in life, i worked hard... my 'help' was my own determination and attitude. my 'help' was a 12,000 pounds loan that i pay back over 25 years. I worked more the same hours you do at a DIY store for 4 years while also working on my degree.... then to get the job i wanted I moved 300 miles away.

Who helped me then... sometimes god helps those who help themselves....

[Edit] I lived 4 years in a houseshare at university, didnt harm me... then even then when i got a full time job i still 'house shared' for a further 2 years!...

I suspect living outside of the Family Home does alot of good for youngsters to see what life is really like instead of having everything spoon fed to you.

Living away from home, getting qualified is an excellent suggestion, I didn't bring it up as you made no mention of your GCSE's.

But extending your education and/or getting onto an apprenticeship course is the help.

We need an educated and skilled workforce willing to be productive and contribute to society.... the OPs line of thinking is a complete antithesis to that
