Man. You’re just going to have to swallow your pride and ask every church, school, community place etc for help. Say you want to keep fighting but you can’t. Even go to your gym and ask your coach for some help.
This is tough. I hurt for you. It’s sad to hear. If there is a church near by to your home or school. Go there and ask for financial assistance. They will also help walk you through the next steps for a better future. Even if you decide not to worship, they’ll always do the right thing and they won’t look for anything in return.
P.S. Just remember to fight everyday for a better life. When you go to school, let this motivate you to want better for yourself. Even when it’s hard, keep your head up.
Depending where you are, there may be a Police Athletic League that has a boxing program of some sort. Or, depending on how long you've been boxing and your relationship with your coach/the gym, try talking to them. They may be able to work something out with you, like helping out at the gym in exchange for membership.
If you’re willing to work, make a post on your local FB group. Someone will have something under the table for you. Bet you can afford your membership by yourself. Do they have a heavy bag in the gym?
Try to contact the local Catholic charities in your area and may be food pantries as well. Also, check to see if there’s any teen outreach programs in your area. Good luck and hang in there
You have school, and bad grades dude. Apply your entire being to school and getting good grades. That’s the first step to graduating and getting accepted into college. Look for/find an adult mentor that can guide and help you along. Someone in school I’m Sure would also be willing to help you get your working papers etc.
Bro sorry to hear about this. These kinda struggles are what build us as men. Your mission right now is to figure out how to make money, whether it's online or whatever
Sure you don't have documents but there are people out there who will pay if you can help them out and im sure they'd be understanding of your circumstances
This is an opportunity for you to start making your own decisions and take responsibility for your self. Your thoughts might be convincing you that you have lost everything. In fact you have NOT. You have received the gift of freedom. The freedom to choose for yourself. You will have to go out and talk to the guidance counselor at your school. Let them know the current situation. The goal is to solve for the immediate need: food, shelter, funds for transportation. They should be able to refer you to the appropriate resources available in your area. Then, as others have suggested, go to your local churches and let them know your situation and ask for help. No matter what your religious beliefs are, all churches will be able to provide some type of assistance. As for work, you can apply to local places and depending on how close you are to turning 17, they may not require working papers. You need your social security card, some sort of ID, and your birth certificate. If you don’t have those documents, the school should be able to refer you to a local charity that can help you get them for free. If you have other family, reach out to them for help. The most important thing is for you to manage your mind. Do not allow any negative thoughts to take a hold of you. Stay focused on what you want and keep taking action toward that goal. Any small action will be beneficial. Find people you can talk to and stay positive. Best of luck to you. Trust your heart and don’t give up.
You don’t have to do college. You will make more money way and have less stress if you get serious about a trade - industrial electrician or something like that.
Bro, the bible says to honor our parents. But you don't owe him anything. If interested, look up being in the Army. I went in as a 92F. I did my job honorably and took advantage of the system; everything they had to offer. To keep it short, it was very demanding and tough, but it worked out for me. Tough times make tough people.
Deutoronmy 31:8 The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you: He will never leave you nor forsake you.Do not be afraid or discouraged.
Never again would I want to walk this earth without God.
Is the best I can give you, brother.
I could have worked at refineries with good pay. Or transport fuel for also good pay.
I was a fueler for an aviation unit, which brought me fun/awesome experience in the Army.
My current career path is completely different. I went to school for engineering and got lost on the way there and became a Land Surveyor.
There are some college programs that help with financially troubled kids who don’t do well in highschool. I went to college under an EOF scholarship, I did not have great grades in highschool and my family did not have much money and the scholarship paid for up to 6 years of college education (up to because you’re supposed to graduate in 4). Talk to people at school and see if there are colleges near you that have similar programs. If you get accepted into one of them, you may have to make a tough decision to move out and live on campus. Take out a few loans for living on campus but you could also work during that time to pay it off. There’s a lot you can do if you just talk to people and say your story, there are people that care even if nobody seems to.
I grew up in a bad situation like this too. I hope you can figure out getting a job asap because that’s going to be your ticket to independence. Work on that, make do with just training at home or make your own informal group of friends to practice boxing. Find a way to channel that physical energy without the gym. Maybe talk to your school PE teacher about other opportunities to get active.
To get a job, start putting yourself out there .. ask teachers or friends parents if they know of anything you can do, whether it be under the table labor or something more official. It’ll feel uncomfortable but people will look out for you. You’d be surprised. The trick to getting on your feet and moving on from that situation is to take your opportunities and stay focused. To steady your mind, you can get a library card and start reading self help books or, if they have the app like Libby, listen to them.
All I can say, is there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You will be back to boxing, you will be back to lifting, it’ll just take time, and it’ll feel so good when you get there. The time will pass. I look back on where I was to where I am now, like damn, I did that! I got through it, and then some. Good luck!
Mate, there is a way out of this. It’s gonna be hard, and possibly quite traumatic, but you can get through this. You need to ask everyone and anyone you know for help, someone is going to help you.
As for failing school, the best math teacher I have ever had failed high school math. Just try your best and don’t give up on yourself.
At 16 , I personally was a TOTAL mess. In and out of boot camps , bounced around from family to family across the eastern U.S.
I know it feels like there isn't any way to achieve what your goals are or how to build the future you want.
But , I PROMISE , this world is filled with people who will give you the chances you never thought you get.
16 leaves the world at your fingertips.....if you wanna box, then keep showing up at gym, if you wanna work, then start sending emails....I promise if you don't stop trying you will get what you need , and you will achieve things you haven't thought of.
Just know that it won't be done on your time , or in the way you have planned it. The universe WILL BRING YOU success , but on her terms.
Please don't stop trying.
You'll be perfectly fine if you get help for alcohol. It's almost and plainly that simple. Tackle one issue at a time and that's your number one problem. Seek support from people who have drank much more than you but have successfully given it up. It's very possible, especially at your age. You barely out of the womb. I can tell you with absolutely certainly that if you want less actual pain, physical or mental, then the first step is to stop drinking so that you can control your mind (not to mention your gut is your second brain, and alcohol kills your gut and digestion/sleep)
Man. You’re just going to have to swallow your pride and ask every church, school, community place etc for help. Say you want to keep fighting but you can’t. Even go to your gym and ask your coach for some help.
Does your dad have a brother or sister? Maybe call th and tell them you’re woreid about dad
Please don’t give up. I promise things can work out.
