No, you have a chosen a forum that has a pretty mature audience (despite some trolls.) I originally came from 4chan but grew out of that site and found myself here. But as with any content on the internet you must use your own judgement.
You know your limitations - that is quite amazing for a young man. That said, you do have some rather serious frustrations and that is unfortunate. Those frustrations are actually inhibiting you. You have this scenario in which you have a broken leg and need to get to hospital to get it fixed but you can't get there because your leg is broken! So you need an ambulance. Some form of plan of action. I don't know what to suggest. You need space in which to develop and you're not being given that space.
And stick to your guns. You know you would be at risk if you drank so don't drink. For what it's worth, I think you are showing a strength an inner wisdom you probably haven't given yourself credit for. Don't ever give up!
OP,
I graduated high school with a 3.8 GPA and was in all honors and AP courses. My parents didn't pay for my college, living expenses, etc. how are you 18 and have never worked? I started working when I was 15. I then saved up that entire summer to go to Europe as a student ambassador. I spent a month traveling to six different countries. I got a partial scholarship to multiple colleges, but since my parents have a high income, I didn't qualify for any aid (doesnt matter if they aren't helping). They also wouldn't co sign anything so I couldn't get a loan. I ended up having to pay for my car, rent, utilities, books, school, all by myself. After a semester of driving myself crazy (I was a biology major), I decided to take a semester off.
During my semester off I worked, worked, and worked some more. I set aside the money so I could go to community college since it was cheaper then transfer back to the "big name" university for the last few semesters since you end up with "big name " degree in the end either way.
I had a few set backs, I was in a coma after a drunk driver caused my car to flip after work one night on I-95. I was ejected 50 ft. Then shortly after I found out I was pregnant. Things were put on hold but I recently bought my first brand new car (paid in full), and bought my first home. I will also be restarting school when my daughter starts school this fall. This has been done through hard work, not being picky about jobs, and not relying on the government or my parents or my daughters father for anything. It's YOU'RE responsibility to take care of you! Stop talking and DO. You can't be picky.
Also, what's with the anxiety over driving...? No offense but that sounds like BS. The second I was able to I was driving after almost dying. Everyone has anxiety. But saying you can't drive....?
Before you can do anything else you need to get a job. Period. You can not do anything in life without first having a job. You can't pay for college, move out, etc until you save up money from a job, any job. You want to be a doctor, vet, or something along those lines? Those require serious responsibilities and hard work. You can't get there without doing 8+ years alone of school work, then 4+ years of training/residency afterwards. Get a job at a hospital in the kitchen, as a janitor, housekeeping, or transporting patients through the hospital. Most give decent benefits if you are able to work full time. Put off school for now. Finish high school. Work for at least a year. Then go back to school after developing work ethic and a savings account.
Does being on social security disability prevent from moving out? Even though I'm 18?
My mom applied me for social security disability without telling me because she thought I wouldn't understand what it is and refuse it, so I get told AFTER that. I have a friend who has Aspergers and he seems functional to me, just doesn't talk unless you speak to him, and I remember him telling me something, I saw him talking to himself a d asked him if he was and he said no, I said do you see and hear people? He said kind of. Not exactly sure what that means. My mom told me (I thought he was a year older than me but my mom says he's 21). My mom and his mom talk sometimes. I remember my mom telling me he wouldn't be moving out of his parents house even at 18 cause they out him on social security disabilities. My question is will bring on it prevent me from being allowed to move out? It's for my OCD by the way.
