>I am 18, still in high school.
>No job yet, no personal vehicle.
>Still living with parents and they still pay for my shit without anything in return.
I feel like a spoiled, immature brat while everyone around me progress into adult life. There was 18 year old men who stormed the beaches of Iwo Jima fighting in hell on earth and here I am typing from a expensive phone that my parents pay for cozy in my room and so I feel irresponsible and like a child. I am in high school but need a job in order to buy a car, move out, and then go to college (or military to save money). How can I make time for both school, a job, and free time to keep my sanity? Also any recommendations on books/reads/videos regarding maturity and the things I mentioned?

You're 18 for crap sakes so pump your brakes. The biggest thing is that you recognize how good you've had it. Go to college, get a degree and then you'll have you're whole life to be responsible. In college, it's easier to work a part time job for some cash. You're on the right track and having the wisdom to realize how fucking good you've had it puts you way ahead of most 18 year olds.

Do you actually think those 18yr olds wanted to be storming beaches?

Get a grip dude

If you want to mature, get a manual labor job. Nothing will teach you the meaning of hard work like a job working on a farm or in a factory. You'll also learn quickly that you don't want to do that job for the rest of your life which will motivate you to work just as hard in school

Well no shit no one wants to get blown to pieces or witness their friends get killed but they still joined despite knowing those risk, that's bravery. And that's not the point I was trying to make anyways.

I've done labor work in the past and I am pretty good at it as I lift weights/workout daily but you're right it gets old pretty fast. Did not make me anymore manly tho.

I am considering the Marines for both a quick transformation into a man, and the benefits of free college.
>>
>>18499502
But of course if I join the Marines, I will be back where I started in first place, living with mommy n daddy trying to find a decent job to move out, buy a car, etc.

Im 20,
Im pretty much in the same situation like you except my parents are poor and they're both did shit to raise me and my brothers.
I thought my mom was alright since since I lived with her the most and she wasen't a raging drunk like my father but recently i've realized shes no better than him.
She'd rather keep accepting welfare and disability checks from the gov instead of pushing us out in into world
I've got 5 brothers and were all overweight
I don't know how to drive
I keep gaining more weight
The first time my mother gave a fuck about my education was when I told her I was eligible for free tuition at a community college after high school
1 year later and im on academic suspension and im gonna have to pay back the financial aid
Been trying to figure out how make this bullet go off since I don't have a gun
Best advice I got for you is to hurry the fuck up and get yourself a job and become more independent
All your gonna feel is shame, how useless you are, and trapped, after every year if you continue this
