My grandparents were in love...so they had 7 kids. They were from a country in Asia called Laos and immigrated to the U.S. in 1983. My mom got the education she needed and graduated from high school, but then it was time for college. she took one year of college but then dropped out because her parents couldnt afford it anymore....then she met and married my dad who never went to college but had a stable job. She gave birth to me in september 1997 and to my brother in March 2000. My parents divorced when i was 6 so that meant less money. Now since my parents never went to or finished college, we cant really afford anything, we can afford the basics, but not things like car gas or sometimes necessities. Who's to blame for all this? If my grandparents NEVER had 7 kids, then would the outcome(my life) have been easier? My mom is currently going to college, but its going to be a couple years before she finishes! I'm ONLY 12! I CAN'T GET A JOB AND I GO TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY!

Its possible that things may have been different, however maybe not. I am a single parent putting myself through college. So although my parents couldn't send me Im still going, your mom could have too. In fact she can still go. At 13 you shouldn't have to worry about not having enough money. Your parents need to step up and find ways to manage. They made this life and as a kid its not your problem. Good luck!

Life is not easy. My father never finished 2nd grade, yet he became very successful. His father never learned to speak English nor went to school. He had eight children. One of his daughters became a teacher, another married the owner of a jewelry business, one son became the excutive vice president of a bank, two sons worked in the building trades, and my father was the part owner of a small business. Learn to laugh at your troubles. Life is a struggle, no matter what you do or where you are.

It's sounds like your family can care for your basic needs and had risked much so you could be raised in one of the greatest countries in the world. You also can afford internet access so things aren't so bad. Are you healthy? Is your family healthy? Then you are better off than the majority of people in this world.
