Formerly known as Senator

Okay, I don't know who posted last either Banana Pancakes or Quinn but I'm guessing it was the breakfast buffet due to the religious entrance. Either way, you stated clearly with no edge or hooks that people are not born to suffer and any man can defeat a state of suffering if he wishes. Wrong. Period. So everyone knows my family is economically low class, always have been, since I was born. Thus meaning I have less to work with, being an adolescent, what can I do? Some may say education is the way out, as I child I moved a lot therefore I was never very academically succesful. I've been through and will continue to go through a tought lifestyle, sure, I've shot myself in the foot here and there, but being under the age of 18...what can I do? It's up to my Mother or Father, correct (here's where all who disagree just leave)? I dont' live with my Father, therefore it's up to the state to get the money he "owes" for me. This leaves my mother, my mother works, and works, and works....and works, where does this get my family? Not far, my family makes $13-15,000 a year, pretty ugly numbers, right? For myself and my mother, and a sister who is off for her freshmen year at college to survive it's going to take a bit more than $14,000 a year to live a semi-civilized lifestyle, correct? Where does the extra money come in? What do I do while myself and my family suffers? Wait, it's up to me since anyone can make themselves not suffer if they feel like it, huh? Do I take up the role of an un-average High School student and drop all extra-cirriculars and sports to get a job and help the situation? No, my sister tried that Senior year and it got us no where. What's left? Isn't this where the state is supposed to support low class families? Wait.. my family doesn't meet those standards either.
I do apologize for rambling, but I believe that personal experiences can win any debate, there's my current status in life. Sooo...throw at me whatever you feel like throwing and I'll attempt to debate my side of the opinion.

Senator.

    I can see where you're coming from here Jeff. But I have a question. Is there absolutely no way out of a bad financial situation? I thought you were striving to be a Senator wherefore you must have ambitions to change your economic situation? Sorry I'm a heartless capitalist and I always believe there's a way to make money off of something somewhere.
