I like how people say they're poor when they have a Xbox 360, a PS3, a good computer, internet, a cell phone, food, etc. You want to see poor? I have to survive on beans and crackers until dad gets his paycheck on Thursday. We have no bread or lunch meat. You know what is poor? Your sense of awareness of others around you.
I sense that you're going through a hard time. But things could be worse for you.
A few years ago, I was so broke, that I didn't eat for five days. I also didn't smoke for five days, which was probably a good thing, but for a smoker, dealing with nicotine withdrawals
and food withdrawals at the same time... Now that was just brutal.
I was unemployed, living by myself in a basement that I rented. The whole building was just a collection of rooms with shared toilets. The last three days of the five, I couldn't sleep as my stomach was killing me. I have a hard time sleeping as it is, but that was impossible.
On the fifth day, I was so hungry that I went to my local supermarket after closing and raided their bins. Luckily, I found myself a loaf. I went home, ate the loaf and slept. The next day, my jobseekers allowance was paid into my account and finally I was able to eat and smoke again. But until you've lived through something like that, you can't complain. You're family probably want to provide a little better for you. It probably hurts them more than it does you.
I will say one final thing. A lot of successful people in this world have came from a relatively poor background. Don't moan about it. Use it as something to motivate yourself. Study hard in school.
Want to stay in Ontario when you're older? When you are old enough, get a job, save some money and move to Toronto. I stayed there myself this summer. You'll have a blast. Maybe some day, you'll look back and realize just how hard your parents had things and be grateful that they still managed to raise you as you are.
I said the exact same thing a few months ago, it just doesn't work..
Wait until you're older Jai. I used to think the same as you when I was younger. Then I started going out with girls. Girls came and went. After a while, you'll find yourself a keeper. My girlfriend and I are getting married next year. We met in Canada. We're living in the UK. And due to the UKBA being a bunch of 🤬, it looks like we have to move to Japan to be together.
We've been through some difficulties, but our relationship is strong. She has made me a better person. I wouldn't trade her for the world.
Oh, and what grinds my gears? Not being able to sleep.
So I've just ignored the girls and I'll see what happens in the next few years. Anyway, who needs a girlfriend when I have GTPlanet.
