So what is the point according to my university my dad owes them £800 when he doesn't it was just coz I didn't fill in the form I was meant to last year i don't know how much it is in dollars and i don't care but that was principally what brought on my depression that stupid form and even now its not sorted out even now its still hanging over me its just all my fault not the form i have a new form for this coming septemeber when i restart but i owe them nothing really i paid them the first installment and its so not fair i am £1000 in debt to the bank over the past what 3 years i have spent c.£3000, £1000 was bank account, £1000 overdraft and the other the amount my dad reckons he spent on me over the past 3 yrs or so and he said he's never buy me anything again eg clothes etc. ok that sounds so petty yes but my best friend she has spent about £7000 over the past 3 yrs her dad knows and doesn't give a damn in that £2000 from her grandmother on her 18th bday £2000 bank account £2000 student loans £1000 overdraft and that's not including the money her parents spend on her and they pay for everything for her! and her dad knows and doesnt care and my dad gets up such a fuss about it. ok i know i am jealous of her i suppose thats clear but its so unfair her family has more money than mine and her mother gives her £2000 for her 18 birthday and I got nothing and every time she has a birthday she gets about £100 last time I got £5 i know this is so petty and trivial so just ignore it all it shows is that I am useless

Perhaps it would help if you used periods and paragraphs. I'd love to help, but I couldn't understand a thing.

Money and inequality are very frustrating, aren't they? I relate. I had a roommate in college whose parents paid all her rent for her, and she had a job that paid well, and she got twice the grant money from financial aid that I did, because her parents made their living as farmers (even though they had a nice big house and lived very well). But I couldn't get my financial aid application turned in early like she did, so a lot of the grant money was used up by that time and I had to settle for what was left, and my parents didn't help me at all, and I couldn't get a decent job. But I made it through anyway, and when it comes down to it, even if I felt it was not fair, what she got really didn't hurt me in any way. You just have to stop comparing because nobody said life was fair. Do your best with what you have, and let go of whatever resentments you have - you're only hurting yourself with them.

Hey, you are getting the opportunity to go to college! That's better than a lot of people get, right? And it says you must not be useless, since you had what it takes to get where you are.

sounds about right... money's only important if you don't have it.

family and money matters how bad can it get? they just disown you and use it as an excuse to hate you...

sorry I'm down too.

<font color=blue>it takes time to sort things through... try to not let the money issue become WHO or WHAT you are... do your best at the time you're doing it... what more can we do? Even though we often "know" that our best just isn't good enough... oh well.

I could tell this was just a rant on your part and you have every right to it.

You suppose your friends parents just have more money than your dad? Two of my kids went to college and I didn't pay for any of it. We couldn't. But they both qualified for student loans.

Sometimes I feel guilty because I couldn't help my daughter out much. Just a few dollars here and there when she was really broke. On her good days, though, she told me she appreciated that she had to work to pay for her own education. She could say "I did it by myself!" She now has her Master's Degree... and yes, she did it all by herself. Not all at once, but she made it. I'm so proud of her!! (even if she doesn't talk to me)

I'm sure she's very proud of herself, too! She should be!
