I just turned 18, but I still don’t have my Social Security card, ID, a job, or my high school finished. A lot of it is because my mom never signed me up, and on top of that I’ve had to take care of my siblings (most of them are teens or grown, except one younger). Even with all that, I still get called lazy. I honestly don’t know where to start or what to do — do you have any advice?

Yes now that you're 18 you can 1 legally adopt upur younger sibling. 2nd you can go to you local high school and take night classes for your GED or high school diploma..you can go on your own to the social security office to your ssi card just make sure to take your birth certificate you may want to call them first just go online and type in local social security office. You can most likely find the information online too and go to the dmv website to look up info on what you need to get your id. Good luck you are on the right track. Remember you can also go to chatgpt choose try first and ask it questions free of charge lastly you do not need to log in to use it stay logged out

Correct it's all on you now, parents didn't care

Do you have your birth certificate? And, what state do you live in? That would help us

You can also join a study program for the GED, so you’re not feeling overwhelmed about the entire thing. I agree w C1- your need your high school diploma to start.

I let the shame spiral get the better of me this week. Realized that I wasn’t going to be able to meet a deadline because I’d mismanaged my time and the project was more complex than I though.

And then I stayed up basically three days straight working, which has only made me slower and more inefficient. So I’m still not done and now I’m in the pits of anxiety and exhaustion hell. FML.

What would you do if you didn’t need money? I have a fair amount coming one day and don’t actually need to work to live a good life (middle / upper-middle class). I work because of this vague notion of “ambition” and because everyone I grew up around is highly competitive and hard driving. I just feel unhappy so often and am wondering what this is all leading to. Scared I’m wasting my life being unhappy / in turmoil cause it’s what my culture wants me to do.
