The only good thing is i work at an animal shelter. well feel free to leave ur opinions

hello shadowwolf2386 being an adolescent stuck at home when what you really want to do is explore the world in your own way outside the home, is certainly depressing. there are lots of others in your boat, though. you aren't alone in your angst. but when i was your age, i didn't know this and it felt suffocating and isolating. being the youngest with a bossy older sister who looked down her nose at her weird and pesky little brother didn't help things either. and two older brothers who would do things like throw me onto a foldabed and fold me up into the compartment the foldabed hid-inside of, was no fun. at least you have the wherwithal to work and earn a bit of $$, i had no money and i wasn't sufficiently mature to hold down any kind of job for years until early adulthood when i was forced to sink or swim.
please believe me when i say things will improve for you, as you grow older and eventually move away on your own.

take care

My suggest is find some special interests. You mentioned working at an animal shelter, so you obviously like animals. One thing I got into recently was walking at the zoo, its interesting because I can watch the animals while I walk, and I get exercise too. Reading is a great hobby to get into. Maybe you can read about animals? Soo many books out there on ever topic in the world. Maybe try joining some clubs at school to help get you out of the house too, assuming you still go to school, sorry wasn't sure about your age range. I find myself getting depressed and feeling like life sucks when really I'm just bored out of my mind. Just need to find something to occupy your thoughts because dwelling on all the bad in your life.

Hey....hang in there. Been there, done that myself.

Like the first two folks said....you aren't alone by any stretch as far as what you're going through.

Best advice I can offer is this: make the best possible use of the time that you have left before that lock on your cell-door clicks and you are free to go your own way. What I did---aside from poring over world maps, reading like crazy, and generally imagining how awesome it was going to be when I finally busted outta that popsicle stand called 'home'!!--was to bust my butt in school and throw myself into activities (even if I secretly hated some of them) that, together with good school performance, would ensure that I would be able to get away to college and STAY THERE (ie I earned scholarships so that I wouldn't end up broke and coming back home or drowning in student loan debt)...and I went into a field (medicine) that would allow me to have the freedom to do and see the things that I wanted to once I finished school.

Don't get me wrong--life S-U-C-K-E-D lots of the time. I gave up tons of stuff that would have been fun or nice breaks along the way in order to make sure that I achieved my goals. In the long run, it has totally paid off and I would do things the same exact way all over again, not because it was easy, but because I plotted my own escape from the world that I felt stuck in and achieved it!

You can do it....don't let anyone or anything get in your way. Construct your escape plan and stick to it....hope this helps!

It sucks to be stuck at home when you want to explore.

What I suggest is work out what your goals are (eg moving out, travel, getting a job etc) and take steps to acheive them
eg maybe ask if more shifts are available at the animal shelter,
or maybe try asking for work experience at a zoo or a veterinary hospital or something. (because you like animals and it would be something for the resume)

I am sorry you seem to think having to pick up things or getting yelled at sucks, thats just part of living with a family, at least you have a family that cares enough to clothe and feed you.
Don't go saying "My sad life" when you have no concept of what is like to loose both your parents, or to have a older sister who let her husband grope you when your 12 years old.
Yesterday was the anniversary of my dad dropping dead of a massive heart attack , I am so bloody depressed I want to end my miserable excuse for a life, but I can't because I don't
want to leave my pets or my few friends I do have, so I have to suck it up and continue on regardless of any emotional pain I am in. Shadow you need to stop wallowing in self pity, you
need to learn that life isn't easy, because you think your going though a rough time, believe me it could be alot worse.
I want to add that I am sorry if I come off as mean, I don't mean to be, I know your how your feeling because I was your age once too.
