Yes. I'm asking for "life advice" on here - deal with it

Re: Yes. I'm asking for "life advice" on here - deal with it

Show them this thread.. I promise you, it will work.

You just need to man up, show them you're an adult and you want to make your own decisions, and that this path isn't the decision you want to make anymore.
You ARE an adult, you'll figure it out.

Re: Yes. I'm asking for "life advice" on here - deal with it

They've insisted throughout the years that I'm smart though. Sure, I get by with school and stuff, but...that's because all you do is read and whatnot. When I have to actually apply my knowledge and use "common sense", I'm hopeless.

Re: Yes. I'm asking for "life advice" on here - deal with it

Maybe you are smart enough, it can't be that hard. But do you WANT to do it? It doesn't matter if you can or not, because you can do anything you set your mind to. The choice comes down to whether or not you actually want to do it.
If you don't then why force yourself to? You're going to be unhappy in the end.


You're the only one that can tell your parents/boss. FFR can only point you in the direction of them, in the end though you have to make the decision.
Remember, you're never going to please everyone. Pick and choose your battles.

Re: Yes. I'm asking for "life advice" on here - deal with it

Of course I want to work as a paralegal - but I literally cannot. The dumb shit I do everyday I can't deal with anymore. I make my boss unhappy and she was the only one willing to take me in. I can't just simply set my mind to it and work through it. I have tried, but I cannot get any better.

But yeah, I guess my parents or boss would be the only people to go to haha. Ugh. I guess I'll tell them...I don't know. Probably later this week, because my sister will be leaving soon to hang out for a week with her boyfriend and then out 3 hours away to work at Honda (yeah! That's right - HONDA! ).

Thanks for ze advice.

Bri,

I highly doubt you are not "smart" enough. So shut up with that. You are a smart girl, don't take that away from yourself.

Also, the best way is to sit down and just talk it out with them one on one. That's the best way to do it.

Re: Yes. I'm asking for "life advice" on here - deal with it

just continue studying law and join the ACLU

Re: Yes. I'm asking for "life advice" on here - deal with it

then when you're old enough, run for any office you can

Re: Yes. I'm asking for "life advice" on here - deal with it

Sing them a song, it'll be so awkward that nobody will pay attention to the news anyway.

Re: Yes. I'm asking for "life advice" on here - deal with it

I'm not the one to give advice because I am nobody special, but I can say I am happy and I have dealt with way more crap then 98 percent of the population I gurantee it. Just remember if you are actually happy and want to become a paralegal person to not give up, EVER. You just graduated you are way to young to think you don't have potential. Your brain is just now almost done developing and once you get used to using it you will realize how important practice and hard work is. I used to weigh 110 and was super weak. I hated working out and everyone made fun of me but I wanted to be stronger so I kept at it, soon I found myself loving it and despite everyone saying I didn't have a bodybuilder type of body I proved them wrong and now nobody could tell the difference. I swear it will work for you too just keep trying and 2 years from now you will look back and laugh at why you were frusterated. If you get terrible headaches and stuff and your boss is mean maybe you should just ask around and see if there is anybody else who may be better qualified to help you achieve your goals. I wish you luck

Edit: just realized you meant you were done with college, not HS. What are you doing! you are closer then I thought!

Re: Yes. I'm asking for "life advice" on here - deal with it

Yeah :l I'll think about it a little more I suppose, thanks.

lol i hate politics xD Screw daaat shit.

Innovative thinking - I like it!

I'm glad everything worked out for ya ^^ My boss isn't mean, I just...I don't know. It's a small office so I expect some secretarial work, but that's like, all the time I have for during the day. I think during my 2 week break I'll apply to other places and see where it leads me - hopefully it's for the better.


thanks everyone <3 you're the best ^^

Re: Yes. I'm asking for &quot;life advice&quot; on here - deal with it

yea the main thing is to try it out. I thought I would love being a guy who just works everywhere and works my way up at those places. I've only had 3 jobs but already I feel like I should do something greater while I'm young. Especially since I can't find a job. There will always be crime and lawsuits so you will always find work that way

Re: Yes. I'm asking for &quot;life advice&quot; on here - deal with it


Even if you wanted to start anew, why not just get it over with. Give yourself some closure before you move onto your next path.

Re: Yes. I'm asking for &quot;life advice&quot; on here - deal with it

I highly agree with this.

Assistant to an attorney? Pretty sure intelligence isn't a barrier. What you're probably not enough of is "bored."

Re: Yes. I'm asking for &quot;life advice&quot; on here - deal with it

You are smart enough. I don't know you even the slightest, but you're smart enough. What you may not be is prepared, confident, or willing to fail.

Find a mentor. If you weren't taught well how to survive at that sort of job, find someone with lots of experience, not your boss, and figure out how to do better. If the problem is not enough preparedness, you could consider a lower level job. The fact that you already work at the position you're in not even having graduated college yet is something to be very proud of, and it's more than understandable that you might feel you're not qualified yet.
