I feel really upset for Senture 
On a forum it's easy to assume that everyone is 'ok' living similar lives of moderate to luxurious comfort but of course, there are also people getting a real crappy deal. Put into care for years, kicked out of school and a hateful dad, my goodness, no one deserves that. At 24 years old I would love to see you break away from this turmoil and start seeing light at the end of the tunnel in some way. I'm positive it can be done. Go with the above suggestions, working on farms, ring the samaritans, perhaps go do a kibbutz? You'll get to see another country and get some sunshine.

Probably not, but the OP's obviously struggling to cope at the moment so it's only right we all cut him a little slack.
I always find it ironic when threads such as these appear here. The cynicism and lack of empathy is like a self-imposed trial-by-fire.
(Not a pop at you by the way Robbo.)
I disagree, its good to get things off of your chest and I think him writing a shortened version of the twenty four years of **** hes had to endure has released some tension, thus him not doing anything regrettable.
Wait so you moved to America then moaned at being outed of accommodation and having to move because of no money, that's called being an illegal immigrant.
How did you get from England to the USA on JSA?
Why did you ask your dad to help you when you could have lived with him in England.
You missed the boat.

I know, it's fine
Good to get things off your chest, yes (though personally I wouldn't choose a place such as this to do it).
It more or less reads as an overview of his life so far, followed by "if it doesn't get better I'm going to top myself", it just doesn't help his case.
That isn't to say it makes any of what he said less relevant, it just irks me a bit when people write things like that, not sure why.
Its well written but I don't get the bit about hid dad not making any effort to get him home, who the **** goes to the US of A from England with no skills or placement or job the expects a great life then moans at the father he could have stayed with in the UK to not pay for his plane ticket home.
I would love to do that, I dont because its, expensive, 1000s of miles away and will cost money and so much effort to just get a basic wage job.

Someone who is desperate, and has nothing to lose and has people telling them the best way of getting out of it is the greener grass on the other side. Trust me, these descisions can be made in the spur of the moment, and with the wrong advice and the wrong people, can be made to seem like the best option.
I've shifted some emotions on here before, a perfect example of this is the loss of my mum recently. Some members including myself find it easier to talk to strangers about personal stuff, especially when the likelihood is you're never going to meet them.I know, it's fine

Someone I went to college with did this - thought running away to the US would solve his problems, he got stopped at imigrations after flying into New York.

Well for starters, how about finding out the source of all these problems. Across the whole world, what have the constants been? Most people would probably say you, but they'd be wrong. No, the society we live in is to blame. Why not try to do something about it? Yes, we've all had to suffer it but not many as badly as you - therfore getting rid of yourself will not solve or help anything.
Answer me this - would you ever want anybody to go through what you've been through?

I can understand that. I hope you are doing well.
I'll survive

Jolly good!
But still how did he get from the UK to America from being on JSA, What is a ticket to America £300/400+
Just crazy for someone to spend that on a one way ticket.
tbh his dad house looks clean abit clutter-some but seen a lot worse to live in.
Get a job. Any job. Keep your head down and save some money. Get your own place. Learn to be independant, to not rely on others, for emotional or financial needs.
You can and will grow stronger. Choose friends wisely. But learn to appreciate your own company.
Then maybe try and find a better job, possibly take some night classes / part time college course.
This all sounds easier than it is when you're feeling as you do, but it's actually quite straightforward and easily achievable.

Very deep and touching account of your life Senture. Feels bad that you've been let down by all these people. And I don't even have a clue what you can do now. I can only hope the best for you, but please know that you stand everything to gain right now - nothing to lose. You're only 24, there's still so much opportunity out there. You just need to find it.
Sure everyone has been unreliable to far, but one day you will find someone you can trust to help you. But you need to help yourself. Rely only on yourself. Maybe it's your general demeanour that has caused some of the issues in your life. Stand tall, be confident, know that you can get through this.
Good luck

You make it sound as if everyone except you is a complete ***hole. I honestly think you need to take a look at the man in the mirror.
Prime example; You're blaming your classmates for the failure of your GCSEs?
Dude, we had ****'s in our class who would disrupt lessons every 1 second. We had drug dealers in our class. We had people setting fire to other people in our class. Our class literally made a fully grown male teacher break down into tears. 2 people just in my class went straight to jail after leaving school. But I and many others still managed put the effort in and passed the GCSEs.
If the teachers would just "walk out", and you honestly wanted to do well in life, why didn't you do something about it there and then?
Secondary school is the time you decide whether you want to be a homeless hobo, a criminal or a legitimate success. You should be mature enough to know what sort of life you want at 16.
I'm sorry if I sound harsh. We all make mistakes, you're still young and you can still reverse them. You just need to settle down, find any job even if it's frying chips or mopping floors. Then move up from there. There's a whole world out there and it's yours. Just take your time.
