    Phil, has it occurred to you that you create the rules the world should work by in your head and then get enormously frustrated when things dont happen according to YOUR rules?

    Time to turn off the computer and walk into the real world.

    I never said other people don't have it worse.
    I have followed advice. Applied for very pt jobs in the hope they will get less applications, gone back to applying for jobs that I have experience in and still I get no where, I just don't see what else I can do.


    if you fail your exams are you going to retake them and use the same answers? hoping that one day they might just be right. Or would you change your answers?

    If you're getting nowhere with job applications then it's obvious your CV sucks monkey c*ck. Post it up here so we can have a laugh go at showing you where you're going wrong.

    Yes, but how many other 21 year olds are stuck at home with their parents, never really had any experiences in life, and depending on economic freedom to have hope in hells chance of any life?

    . My life is not cushty many things in our house need replacing and I need money to do that.


    Phil.. quick, go back and edit!! you forgot that your storyline is you're 21 and living at home with your mum and dad... you don't need money to replace things in their house, they do.
    you're letting your story slip.

    What the hell am I going to have after next week, going to uni for a few hours a week is my only escape I have from my bedroom other than going out socially once a blue moon. I am going to have nothing and not even that bit of escape from stuck at home.

    Because my parents did not want me to go. It is as simple as that.
