    How desperate are you for a job? Stop putting obstacles in the way of everything.

    How are you going to explain to potential employers your age and why you have never worked before?

    Yes, you will have to explain. It's a question any potential employer would ask.

    And no, I'm not trying to make you angry. And please don't call me "mate"/ I'm trying to be honest with you and help you. You need to be ready for that question at interview and have an answer ready.

    (1)-I was bullied at school and taken out
    (2)-I suffered from very low confidence, my dad had an affair
    (3)-My dad has treated me like !!!! and like i can't cope with anything
    (4)-My grandad had cancer scares, had a stroke, had Parkinsons. My mum got with someone and i didn't know how to express my feelings
    (5) I have had friends who i thought were friends who ended up pinching me, biting me, throwing my glasses away

    I started college, have only really found confidence in trying to do things so yeah it hasn't been easy and that's why

    I don’t mean to be harsh but employers won’t want to hear that. They will need a more condensed reason.
