Getting myself together Options

[tysonrss]

I'll be 19 in a couple of weeks, and quite preferably, I'd don't want to spend another 6 months in this hell hole I call home. Tired of the attitudes, siblings, parents talking shit behind my back. I'm just tired of it all. I have been unsuccessful in finding a job around here, I've put in app after app after app and it just isn't working. Furthermore, I had decided that I'd try to stay longer to at least attend college, that sure and the hell isn't going to work out as I may end up blowing my brains out should I have to stay any longer than I'd like.

I'm not sure on what I can do to get on the right track here. Whatever the case, it seems vastly impossible to stay here for another 6 months, at least I would be a bit satisfied if I had my own money, because I'd be buying my own food and whatnot.

Anybody have any tips or any advice that may help me choose the right direction, if there is one?

It's difficult to give advice in these personal situations, and when you feel an urgency to "get out" of a situation, sometimes the best advice is simply to go with your best wit.
Though, I might be able to give you some advice in terms of getting a job; despite the economy.
First off, consider your skills (organisational, vocational, etc.) and find at least one local newspaper that has a listing for "Jobs". (Almost all local newspapers in the U.S. have these sections.)
Then, check that listing against your skills and start making calls to these job offers.
In the business world, the loudest voice gets the job (sometimes even more so than "the guy that knows the business owner"). I don't mean you go shouting into the telephone, what I mean by "loudest voice" is that you are making yourself known to the individuals that are hiring.
If you have the skills to do the job, then let them know; and let them know often.
Jobs nowadays are looking for someone they can hire that won't be a burden to them, so show them that you have initiative and that you are willing to sacrifice your time to get them to see that you have what it takes to take the job they are offering.
Make yourself look presentable and professional, and be assertive and confident in your abilities.
If you don't have these traits naturally in your personality, then convert the energy you've built inside (that you'd like to throw at your siblings, or parents) and divert it into a passion or "drive" to get the job you want.

Hopefully that at least helps you to think better in terms of the job market. =]

Personally, I'd strongly recommend you continue your education, firstly moving out is kind of one of the prerequisites (uni halls in the first year are sick, and then most people tend to get a flat with the friends they've picked up there for the other years) and it sounds like difficulties at home are you're main issue; you don't want to make a rash decision now that will affect your life based around it. In fact I cant help but kinda frown on my friends that stayed back home for uni as they've established some false understanding of independence and the ego that accompanies it.
Yes there's the debt that accompanies continued education, but then there's also significantly better job prospects. And here at least (the UK) student loans have pretty much zero interest and don't have to start payments 'til you're in employment.

Hope this information helps
