I was with you for the first 3 or 4 lines, but the rest of your "Woe is me" catalog is just boring.
Everyone has problems. Instead of listing them, why not take a stab at dealing with one or two?
(And getting back to your education, it sounds like your mother is giving you the opportunity to say you do want to learn a trade. Of course, that means you'll have to do the work of researching options and choosing one.)
