Troubles

I've said this before, but I'm only fifteen, and these troubles I'm in right now are so not enjoyable. I'm the oldest of five, but I only live with three of my siblings. My other sister lives with my dad. Anyway, so at my house is three girls, a boy, my mom, step dad and my grandma, like, that's a lot of people, aka that's a lot of money. But we're very poor. We can get by, I mean we aren't starving, but, for instance my friends are going to see a play in a few days and I can't go because the tickets 25$ and we don't have that kind of money. But all my friends can just go. It doesn't help that I go to the rich kid, white school of my town/city. It's like a less extreme KDRAMA in a way lol. Anyway, my step dad is the only one who works, so my mom was going to get a job as an English teAcher, because she has the qualifications-or so we thought. It turns out she has to go back to school for two years, but she only had a year to get her degree, and we don't have money for this!!!! And she's so upset, because she can't get a job as a teacher, so I decided I'll get a job and pay for it, because I can't bear to see her like this, and also because we need the money. But I can't decide what to do, like, where do I work? Schools starting in a month and I have marchin band too, and I won't get any sleep at all if I get a job because I'm in all advanced classes, which apparently means 10 million times more homework. Yeah, I stopped caring about doing my homework years ago. The last time I went to school from the first day to the last day was fourth grade. 5th and 6th I've homeschooled, and ever since then I've quite partway through the year. What does that tell you. I thought of selling prints of artwork on etsy, but I have to make prints of my artwork and that costs money that I don't have.BUT ALSO HOW TO I MAKE THIRTY THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS IN A FEW MONTHS AND STILL SAVE MONEY FOR A CAR FOR AN APARTMENT FOR COLLEGE WHAT ABOUT SPENDING MONEY UGHHHHHH I'm scared, I guess. I really enjoy being a lazy bum who does nothing all day, but I don't think I can do that anymore. I'm so scared of growing up. **sighs**

I understand what you're saying. At your age, I was kind of going through the same thing because was dad was left with a job and he was going to school which cost a lot. But I was still able to have my quincenera. (Part of the Hispanic culture, where a 15 year-old girl becomes a woman during her party)
Well anyways now that I'm 18 (turning 19 in october) and going to college (which isn't cheap), I'm going to be in living an apartment. So now my parents have to pay 3... THREE houses. Our 1st house which is renting right now (But since our tenant can't really afford the rent my mom is helping him since he is one of my dad's co-workers), our 2nd home that we bought last year and now my apartment. Money is so tight right now. I can't even get all the things that I want. (i.e A new computer) so I have to wait until my dad gets a promotion because he will be earning a lot more.
Also I was kind of in your position that I was looking for a job. Do something that you know you can do. Not something that you're going to dislike from the get-go. So if you like retail... then try to find a job that you qualify for. If you want to work as a cashier somewhere then fast food restaurants are always hiring! aha but hopefully I was able to help you out a little again :)
