Reply #66: Yep, that's basically me.

Teenagers and college students. And if your lucky enough to have a job, I am, the only people who are really making any money are the company higher ups. I'm 22, working at a movie theater picking up trash and cleaning puke and piss making just above minimum wage. This is the same job I had as a acne faced high-schooler over five years ago and I've been looking for something different for a good portion of those five years. I have a friend with a masters degree who couldn't find a job doing anything but delivering books between library branches. He got fed up with things, moved to Korea, and now teaches English to elementary school kids. (and loves it)

I feel like I have so much potential, so much insight, and so many skills that are not being utilized to make quality of life better for everyone.

Every time I get my bank account above zero, something happens to my car, or I have to pay tuition, or the bank charges me some kind of ridiculous fee.

There is one positive aspect to this all. More and more people are starting to see, what the poor and downtrodden in our country have been dealing with EVERY SINGLE DAY. Hopefully it will make us all more compassionate. As for the banksters and their goons: they're beyond hope.

Young people are citizens too, and our rights (and that includes high-schoolers) are just as important as those of everyone else.
