(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Alright guys, a little about me. I'm 17 years old in my junior year of high school, my names Rob and

I live in the U.S. I love to smoke weed, I love to play Call of Duty and sometimes Runescape(not

much, but sometimes). I am 6'2, I'm a white guy and I'm pretty fat. I'm constantly playing games of

some sort, and have above average knowlege of computers (I built my last one). I have a problem

guys, my life is going nowhere. I am intelligent but don't study, I make average grades but I could

do much better. I have never had a job. I havn't had a girlfriend in over 8 months. Basically what I'm

trying to say is, I'm becoming a loser. I have many friends, but something about my life is just

empty. I go to school, think about playing games. I get home, play games till late at night and then

go to bed to repeat the cycle. I have 50 days played on mw2, which when I look at it now is just

sad. My dillema here is this; i need to get a job or my parents are going to make me join the navy.

This whole thing started about a year ago when my friend Cody got involved with this thing called

"Sea Cadets". His dad was always talking about it (we were best friends, hanged out almost every

weekend) and so finally Cody signs up. At first, not much changes, just him being gone every once

in awhile. Then his dad starts bugging me about it. I kid you not, this guy will not take no for an

answer! He has told me I should join over 100 times(not making this up) and everytime I said no.

After awhile, I was so ****ing annoyed about hearing this that I decided to go, to end this torment of

epic bullshit. I went and it was the gayest shit that has ever been created by man. Basically it was

a punch of preteen country rejects and one college dropout who was running it. They all sucked his

dick so they wouldnt have to do push-ups, etc. He told me i needed to shave and this mother****er

looked like moses! Anyways, you have to march EVERYWHERE!!! We marched to the lunch hall,

where i was informed that I couldn't have soda or desert (even though they had them here...???) and

to make it worse my friend Cody's dad wouldnt go away following us because he was good friends

with the commanding officer. Basically, this Sea Cadets shit was super homo and I wanted nothing

to do with it, ever. Back to Cody, he was getting gayer with every passing day. Basically

transforming from a deathmetal anticonformist pothead to a kid who does anything this college

dropout says. It sickened me to the ****ing core. I SAW how this place had changed my friend and

I knew I would never go down the same path. Skip forward a few months and he's in basic training

talking about how awesome his military career will be, and my parents get even deeper in this

collective bullshit. Now my dad (who is a super dick and always tries to get what he wants) knows

about this and is trying to get me to join! They signed me up without my consent WTF! I told them I

would never, ever join that gaycluster**** known as Sea Cadets ever and they still signed me up for

it. Basically my mom told me that i needed to do something with my life because I'm going to be 18

in less than a year, which I agree with, but not doing this! I WANT a job but It's hard! Noone wants a

17 year old with no experience in this economy! I've tried and tried but I never seem to do it right! I

dont know what im doing wrong as far as getting a job goes but id much prefer that then to going to

Sea Cadets. If I dont get a job soon I'm going to be homeless, in Sea Cadets, or worse. I want none

of those. So basically what I'm asking here is, how can I make my life better? Im sick of being this

fat guy who only plays xbox all day and could be considered a failure at life. I have a few problems

here; 1, I need a Job, 2, I need a girlfriend, 3, I need a way to get in shape and stop playing games

so much. Oh yeah, and ive started quitting weed because munchies=fat and ive been clean for like

a month and a half now. Anyways, anyone who can offer me some advice, it would be much

appreciated. Thanks for reading!

Get a job at a gym, mate.
It answers questions 1, 2, & 3.

1.) You'll get a job.
2.) You'll lose weight & become more attractive [not saying you aren't right now].
3.) You'll work at a gym so you'll lose weight in the process.

Dude, you can't just go and get a job anywhere you want whenever you want ^ /facepalm




@OP I used to have the same life, basically what I did was just put the games away and never use them until your life is alright, I basically had the same general lifestyle as yourself minus being overweight, basically you'll just end up being so bored if you don't do anything you'll go out and do shit, get a job, go out with friends, meet people. Also, you'll want to lose your weight however overweight you are, its not a huge problem but it's never bad to lose weight if you're overweight.

If you don't stop living this lifestyle you just end up drifting away from family and friends and becoming anti-social, and eventually you get so used to doing it, you don't have any fun, yet you don't want to stop doing it as you have no idea what else to do, it ends up becoming some what of a chore.

First of all, just get a job and stop the games, literally get someone to hold onto them for you until you're alright with your life. It's also good you're quitting weed/cutting down on it I used to be addicted in highschool and it made my grades go from above average to JUST passing.. I was lucky I wasn't kicked out honestly, the years after I stopped and I had good above average grades again, all b's c's and a few A's in easy subjects like Tech and computing.

And also just have motivation to do all this stuff, my personal motivation is basically my life will never get better, and gaming all day and all night really does make you stupider, it occupies more and more of your brain/ you don't remember anything else over time and you lose even basic skills like even saying certain words/ writing out stuff etc.

P.S. My recommendation as a job is working at any fast food chain for example mcdonalds burger king etc etc, it's an alright job and you get kinda crappy pay but you do it good for like a month or two, you get a promotion, you're earning even more money that you weren't when you played games all day, and you're going out and doing stuff daily/every few days, you can also meet future girlfriends or friends there.

Also, if you get any job your parents will definitely get off your back, they just want you to be doing something with your life no matter how bullshit it seems, even though sea cadets suck its probably one of the only things you've been exposed to for a while...

And thanks dude this is the only decent thought-provoking thread I've seen in awhile, and the only one I've bothered writing paragraphs upon paragraphs because it was worth writing, I hope you get your life back on track and if you need any more advice or just want to talk contact me on here.

man up, put the controller down and go out and meet new people and the navy is not gay or bad at all so STFU, the Navy will teach you respect and discipline (which sounds like you need) for when you are older. Its a job, you will become healthier and you will be meeting new people who are all fit and healthy.

Also put the weed away and dont buy anymore, you dont need drugs to have a good time or just to fit in, you make the desicions in your own life, dont let somebody make them for you.

But that's kind of how my life is haha. I don't play video games that much though, I go out more and I'm not overweight. Sorry to bring you down on that. I've thought about my life a little bit too though, it's weird how it keeps coming up in my mind and my friends say the same thing. I'm doing worse off in school than what I could do if I stopped being so lazy. The only thing we can do is change ourselves, we have the power.

Thanks everyone for the help, i think im going to start my getting rid of my xbox, because i know as long as i have it i wont be making much progress.

Hope all goes well, Im always here for you if you want to talk, nearly all of us are!
Just look up and smile and make a list of things to do and think how you could make them easyier/start doing them!

PM me if you ever need anything I've also went trough alot over the last while, so I understand :p

Peace out bro..

Yeah, if anyone wants to buy an xbox with some games and stuff, pm me.
