I am 18.
I am forced to attend to a failed, broken, and useless system of learning known as the public school system for 8 hours a day with hopes of getting somewhere in the future of this destructive and oppressive place called AMERICA.
I was kicked out of my home the day I turned 18 and got into the wreck that totaled my car, so I am homeless.
I paid 300$ a month on car insurance and even though I was not at fault my insurance company couldn't help me in anyway.
I have no transportation.
I had to pay 400$ to a tow company and a 200$ for the medical bills after my wreck.(those bills where for the people who hit me. I had no damage to my health, but my income did suffer enough to cause damage.)
I work 60 hours a week.
I am hated by my whole family for being atheist.
I am supporting myself.
I have turned to dealing drugs just to get extra income.
I was almost arrested 2 different times involving drugs.(weed)
I was robbed of 500$ because word got out that I was dealing and one of my friends, who was also going through income problems, felt justified in robbing me. I was injured not badly, but overall it was a very scary experience.
I called the cops and they told me that they were going to arrest me because they believed I was using that money for drugs. After 3 hours of questions they just let me go, without providing me any assistance.
I hate everything about the life I live in.
I have a girlfriend that I can barely be around because I work too much.
I have only about 40 days till I am thrown into the shit-storm known as adulthood.(graduate)
I had a plan for my future. I was going to join the Air Force and become a successful JAG. I figured out about a month ago that there is no longer a purpose for me in this country. I am too scared to sign myself to the US military because I no longer have any hope for freedom after that in the upcoming future.
I want to be alive for at least another 50 years, but I know that I may not make it past the age of 22 now in this country.
I am scared.
I need change.
I want happiness.
I am the 99%.
