    But you are at College.

    You are controlling your temper and doing well.

    You have a place at university later this year.

    I know it's so much easier to go over and count the negatives, try to start looking at the positives you have in life.

    Ok then the positives

    1. I have a place at university this year
    2. I am doing well at college
    3. I do volunteering on days I am not at college
    4. I Am starting to lose weight
    5. I am making friends and starting to get on well with my family
    6. I am getting more confident

    Yeah I suppose if you put it like that its quite good

    Well, we all hope he would make a go of it, keep his temper in check and do what was expected of him. If he didn't, well who knows?

    I cannot see newsagents rushing to employ a 26 yr old on a newspaper round as they would have to pay him NLW, which would be a lot more than they'd pay a 14/15 yr old.

    To return to my original post, as an employer looking at the CV of a 26/27 yr old and the only job being a recent paper round isn't going to impress.

    FGS do we have to do this again? Any long term poster will recognise the futility of this thread.
