That must have been very hard for you to turn down those jobs. It sounds like your parents are no longer willing to drive you certain distances for work. As hard as it is for you, this is their choice to make. Anyone, including parents, sometimes need to set boundaries in the support they offer. It sounds like you will need to find alternative transportation or perhaps continue to work on exposure. What do you feel is your best option right now?

I could ask my neighbours for food and then just do IOUs

I have turned down 4 jobs because my parents lied about taking me if it's too far away.

Looking for a job can be very tough, especially in today's economy. I feel your pain!
I hope you find a job soon. How is the search going?
 
Worrying about feeding yourself is a serious matter. If food may be an issue for you, what resources in your community do you think you could turn to?

Just dealing with it by trying to find a job so I can at least work for the month of December and make enough money not to starve to death in the winter.

Hi MeganIsBack,

It sounds like you and your parents have different expectations of eachother. It also sounds like finances are making things even harder for you. How are you dealing with all this now? How are you doing today?

I have $15 left in my bank account and once again my parents are demanding proof that I drive way way way out of my comfort zone. I am fine pushing my comfort zone but going miles out of it isn't going to happen. I can't magically be able to drive everywhere.
