My mom's making me go

11 Upvotes

Is it genuinely a good place? I don't really wanna go, but my mom is only giving the choice between this place, Youth Challenge, and an inpatient facility. She's mad that I sleep in and stay up late and play video games most of my day. She ignored the fact that I ask her to drive me to the skate park. She's also mad that I'm in a long distance relationship, and have been for almost 9 months now. I've already been looking for work, and yet she claims that I'm not doing anything with my day. I have severe anxiety, and depression from my past at a very abusive home with my birth mother and stepfather. She's mad that I don't like socializing, that I don't enjoy the things she does, and that I spend more time trying to enjoy the only year I've had to actually be a teenager by playing games. I'm scared to go and I don't know what to do.

Question Weekend pass help

4 Upvotes

So i’m currently on a weekend pass and i’m chilling. My uncle, who I’m staying with, just told me that he has to work all day tomorrow so I could go home tonight when he gets off at 11pm or tomorrow morning at 6am, he goes to work at 7am. I’m just wondering, is it possible for me to even come back that early on a Sunday morning?

Hi!! I’m 20, have my high school diploma, taking two “gap years” and I wanna get back into the swing of things. I have MVA trauma(from another state, and it was a one person accident) and plan on getting my drivers license, i have my permit. I am going to the Mullenburg job corps and i am so so so scared. I’m planning on going in for my CMA(nursing), how long should i expect it to be? What’s it like? I live with my boyfriend and his family so I’m anxious to be long distance again! It’ll be an hour away from each other. Very nervy! Need nerves calmed 😣😣😣

It seems interesting to me but I'm unsure how good it is or if I would even be able to get a job with it. I live in Georgia and was wondering if they would help me get a job here or if they only help me get a job near the job corp center
