Tru Life

I use to watch this show and wonder how able bodied adults were unable to find jobs. And it makes sense now. I use to watch these shows and thing to myself, how did you fuck your life up to where you're basically homeless and unable to afford to basics of life.

I no longer wonder this question. I logged into myspace to and i saw a bulletin that was along the lines of being able to find a job until he can go to school. I hug out with Island Girl yesterday and we both spoke of how people don't understands whats really going on until they have been forced to join us in the pool of unemployed youth. We have come to a point where we unwilling have become the stereotypical unemployed child still living with their parents to the outside eye. But anyone who knows the position we're in knows its nothing of the sort. Many of us would give just about anything to be able to provide for ourselves but at the current moment it is unattainable. If MTv wanted to do a new episode of Tru Life "I'm Broke/Jobless/Seeking Employment/etc." I could give them about 15 people...

ha.! yea i can think of a few... myself included... granted i have a job and have had more then most people my age... i too have been affected by this unemployment famon that has plauged soo many of our youth... its amazing how the same "oh its only 20bucks" is now your LAST 20dollars thats supposed to last you for an entire week and your gas tank is on E... its seems as if the economy is not only NOT working in the youths favor but causing those who didnt budget or care to learn the value of a dollar re evaluate their wallets...
