It's just too tempting to unhide them and see what they're saying. I'd rather not be aware that they're there in the first place so I don't have to think about them. It's always the same people who are harassing me too. I deal with people harassing me at school and I don't need to come home and have the same thing happen to me in my own home. Please leave me alone, all you people who just want to scorn me. I don't want anything to do with you and I don't appreciate the things you have to say.
This post illustrates your reluctance to take personal responsibility for anything; presumably because you were born and educated as a child without consent. You want your parents to make life easier for you. You want classmates to change their behavior so you aren't burdened with emotionally navigating social relationships.
I can empathize with much of what life is throwing at you; as has been stated, many of us has been through it. What it turning people off is the way you are dealing with it. If you are in college you need to start taking care of yourself. My advice:
Living conditions: You do seem appreciative of what your parents are able to provide. If for whatever reason this isn't satisfactory for the relatively short amount of time you need to finish school, go get a part time job. If this doesn't do it for you then maybe you should consider dropping out to seek the immediate gratification you are after. Keep in mind that when I say this I mean for you to go find full time employment and not burden your parents with some form of adult child perpetual residence.
Asshole classmates: Ignore them or tell them to fuck off. Expecting them to magically change their behavior, no matter how atrocious it currently is, is unrealistic. It's simply not going to happen.
Concentrate on what YOU can do to improve your circumstances. Understand that you may just have to deal with shit in the short term knowing that you are working toward a more fulfilling future. A little perspective is also in order. Sharing space with others and dealing with asshole classmates hardly merits the helplessness that your posts exude. Many of us have managed or are still managing through far worse; perhaps the reason why you aren't being coddled as you seem to expect.
