"stuff what your parents think, you are an adult and have the right to think for yourself,!"
not telling me anything different. all i was saying is they
FELT i didnt need a job thats all. i was sympathizing with the poster since it was similar to me as well.
my therapist said the samething u said when ur not shown by your parents its not easy. true, i was never shown these things. i dont wanna volunteer period end of sentence free work will not help me get my own place. anyway, i have many times on here and elsewhere why i will not volunteer. as my social worker has told me that is not plausible for you to do right now we need to work on getting you a paid job somewhere then we can work on volunteering later.
she (social worker) made more sense than most ppl i have spoken to on this unemployment issue. so, yep, i am always shouting but they r putting earplugs in their ears and no one has hired me yet. i did have a job interview a week ago but never heard from them after i sent the manager a nice thank you email. so, since i havent heard anything, i am moving on.
so yea, i have gaps in my employment history. i made my decision a long time ago i need money to pay my debts off that is the direction i am going some where i can get income. income is the most important to me and that is the main goal for me.

[i feel like a failure because of not having enough work history behind me doesnt help if ur parents dont care about u needing a job as an adult]
your parents are the failure not you, you can not be expected to have the necessary skils or know what is needed to hold down a job if you were never helped or shown this by your parents. it sounds to me that you know all the right things to try, volunteering does fill in the gaps and does make you more employable in a prospective employers eyes, so no matter how wrong/pointless it feels it is worth doing and could actually develop into a paid job there.
keep applying for every job you hear about, keep bugging the employment people in your area, he who shouts loudest gets heard or in your case noticed!
