I'm Carlos, 18 years old. Since age 15 I've being living isolated from everyone, I suffer from depression, haven't had a real friend all this last 3 years. I live in the United States since age 7, I'm Legal with a Temporary Protective Status, and I want to join the Military, but I cant because I dont have a Green card yet.

I don't have the $$ for college, and I can't get financial aid because I'm not a permanente resident..I cant do anything for my life, I cant get out of the shadows, I can't even get a job because of the crisis. I'm tierd of everyting.

Sometimes I think about ending my life, but I know that, that is not want I want to do. I have tried to get out of this situation but everytime I do it, it's a big failure - my parents don't really support me, I know they care, but they just dont wan't to give an effort to help - they know my situation, they know my feelings, they have promised to help me, but they neveer do..My dad only knows to shame on me, and talks about my situation with non-relatives, and I've heard him lot of times.

Seems life is pointless, I don't know what to do..Every day is the same story, and being like this for 3 years...
I'm tierd of everything, I'm tierd of life.

ive been battling depression for 1/2 my life, i m almost 33. and i know how you feel.

there has to be a solution for you in your situation. i wouldnt recommend you go in the army just to get a chance to go to school, especially right now. with everything going on i think it would add to your depression. but you are an adult so i would really think about it first.
when your depressed sometimes we see our lives as if it is much worse than what it is. do you have relatives in your native state?

Carlos, I think you just need to hang in there a little longer. Do what you have to do to get your green card and dont let anyone bring you down. Life is tough but if you can just pull through untill your green card comes through youll be fine. Your young, dont let anyone bring you down. Its not too late at all to get your future going. Just make due with what you have and have faith and youll make it through this time. Life is not about your mom or what your dad says. Hun, life is about you. You came here alone and youll go alone. Life is what you make of it. Stay tough and just do what you can and never lose sight of your plans. whether its tommorow or 3 years from now. Youll join the military and in the military they will pay alll of your schooling and give you nice pay. after that today will only be a faint memory. Trust in yourself and be strong enough to break through the chains life hangs on you.

if you can do that, your days will come.

very true everyone has problems!
i was evicted last year and my sister who has a 3 bedroom told me she didn't care i had to live in a shelter.
she told me to go back to my ex abuser boyfriend.
i m not working right now and i have $27,000 in student loans, they threaten to take my income taxes, and take money from my paycheck when i finally do work.
i didnt even finish school, and i cant get any more loans because i default on the ones i have.
everyone one has problems, we just have to learn how to deal with it.
