@ChickenOnRice: I'm not nor did I intentionally mean to bend the definition. Look at # 9 on verbs. My family IS infected, tainted, what will you, with arguments nad fights. I just used the word in an uncommon sense. Just forget the word. -_-
yes, my parents are stressed, but why should my dad degrade me everyday for not having a job when I'm searching and studying? My father insulted me all the time, so it's no confusion as to why I would do the same; you learn from your parents. I never meant to be acting like I'm desperate. I just wanted basil's opinion.
Try getting my dad and brother to come to therapy with my mother and I, then come back and talk to me.

[quote=elimede]Instead of looking for jobs...

Study hard and get accepted to a professional grad school (medicine, law...).

It's a much better way to invest your time at your age instead of wasting it in a couple of part-time dollars you earn. Think long-term![/quote]

What if I don't want to be in the medicine or law field? What if I want money for other things and I can't ask my parents? What if I want experience TO GO get those high-class jobs? I need both the job and education...

[quote=Silvith]Depends on what job you want. Talk to Grendel the Really Old he'll have a job for you. and its only level 8! 5,000 EXP per hour![/quote]
Thanks, you put a smile on my face. =]

[quote=OliverOken]Whats your Age..?

Work at your Local coffee shop!
Tell your Brother to start playing Wii sports till he actraully wants to do those things OUTSIDE.(My brother did that)
Your dad... My brothers bi-polar and my Mom can't handle it. Not saying make Your mom and dad Divorce.. But try to keep them away and maybe take there time away from eachother
Your Mom.., Get her straight. She's a parent and she has to do this stuff. Or maybe she just wan'ts a weak off of being a Mom , My mom does that atleast once a year. p:
Hope I helped.[/quote]
I'm 18. I should try that...My brother just sits his ass on the computer all day saying he'll do *stuff* when he's all talk. Yeah, my parents do spend time from each other. I try to tell my mom exactly that; that she can't have my brother cursing at her or my dad, she needs to stand up, but she's so tired from work that she just ignores it all. =/ I think she deserves a good break too. I KEEP TELLING HER to sit down and rest a little and i help her out and get water and those small things...Yeah, you did help, thx.

While school is important, not everyone out there has the opportunity to NOT need employment before getting some high-end degree.

@ the OP: I don't see how your family is corrupt at all, more like out of sync. Lake of communication and understanding, perhaps? It sounds like your parents might have stressful jobs, which are very common; they get home, only to snap at little things that mean absolutely nothing. As stupid as it sounds (though it worked well for me), maybe try sitting them down and talking about it?

Or the "quick fix" that I see happen alot, and not my recommendation - Divorce[/quote]
My parents won't divorce. Yeah, they both have stressful jobs and I understand your concept. Yes, it's stressful, but that's life; you can't just bring arguments every night to the kitchen table....it's not right. =/ You need to have communication, which theirs is very incorrect. Mom says something and dad goes wild, even if she said something stupid my mistake cuz she was tired, etc.

[quote=AquaBoogieXD]Shortened: Get out of there and into your own place ASAP. You don't have to deal with the crap your being given.[/quote] Don't worry, I read all of it, just didn't want to post the wall. I HAVE been saying tha ttomyself lately, even before I read this:"I need a job and I need to get out." I agree with everything you said. Yes, we both go to college and I've told my bro COUNTLESS times to get off his ass...I don't need a job, but my dad keeps saying I'm freeloading (which I am, but I'm trying to do good in school, which I am this semester) so I want to get a job for that reason and so I can buy myself some things. My dad is the nicest to me, but still an ass sometimes. I mean, he's a good person, but he has flaws. Thanks for the help.

[quote=serulin]u gota be da man of the house for anyone to listen to you. Do you have a weak voice? weak spirit? Are you soft and mushy?[/quote]
My voice is pretty hard spiritted. I do give my speeches, they just don't wanna listen.

[quote=porkky]Seems to me like your brother and mom may be the dominant side of your problem (brother especially). He was a lot like me with my family, but after I got into college I started feeling my interest in video games dull down a bit.

As for you, you're still studying. You shouldn't worry since your doing fine in school. Your dad needs to be patient here.[/quote]
My dad's patience is as narrow as a kid wanting to get out of school on a Friday afternoon...My brother and my dad are the dominant ones, I suppose >.>, not my mom. My interest in videogames isn't dying down, I'm just becoming a little more interested in the real world. I will always be interested in both. I think I need to get a job fast. Thanks for your help.

What you can do for;
Yourself: Keep going for job interviews. Getting discouraged never helped anybody. Although I don't find it beneficial to apply for a part time job if you're trying to get an education, it's just a hinderence. Help out about the house to show you at least care I guess. I'm assuming you're at college, in which case if you DO go for a job, save some money up and use it to rent an appartment or something. You don't need these kind of pointless distractions in your life. If I were you I would have left them behind a long time ago. They might be family but you're not indebted to them.
Your brother: Tell him to get off his ass. Although I don't find a job to be necessary if he's in college too (I'm assuming you both are) he could do something besides playing videogames all day.
Your dad: If he's bi-polar then there's not a lot you can do to get him off your back, but you need to let him know you're trying your best to help out and that he needs to back the hell off. Him ranting and raving won't get anything sorted especially if it's about trivial crap. I know this isn't what you want to hear but if all he does is shout at you for not doing anything when you're genuinely trying and argues with your brother and mom too, then you don't need him in your life. Hell you're at school for however many hours a day and he wants you to have a job too? Does he expect you to pay rent or something?
As I said, I would have left this all behind by now. If your dad's bi-polar then you won't be able to do much about his anger and he'll just keep on shouting and shouting until everybody around him is gone. That's not necessarily his fault but that's the way it'll end up. It's obviously taking a toll on your mom who's had to deal with this for as long as they've been together.

Shortened: Get out of there and into your own place ASAP. You don't have to deal with the crap your being given.

@TheAverageJoe: I DO ignore the fights. I use the word 'corrupt' as in something is not working; like a flash drive is corrupt when you put it in a computer, we are corrupt because when we try to communicate, it turns out to be the worst...

Also, I want to help my family because I love them and they've been taking care of me forever. My parents are good people, but this problem is really starting to have a greater impact...

[quote=ChickenOnRice]this isn't exactly being corrupt at all.[/quote]
[quote=CapitanMogi]I don't think you're using the word corrupt right.[/quote]
Ok, so my dad yelling at my mom cuz she was tired and forgot to call something is normal? My dad is extremely bi-polar and my mom is uneducated. Just asking, how do you not find this family corrupt? There's an argument like every night.

[quote=curtis]its just, your parents arent meant for each other, i think a divorce would do fine[/quote]

I think so too, but that won't happen. They've been together far too long for that, idk. -_-

[quote=curtis]i dont really know how to help you about your parents, but in my case, I just avoid my dad as much as possible whenever he starts nagging me about applying to colleges when the registration forms aren't even out yet
you could talk with your parents separately and let them know how your feeling about their constant quarreling, maybe they'll listen[/quote]
I sorta tired that....I'll try again.
[quote=MrClean]Umm...
so how's your family corrupt again?[/quote]
Mom & dad argue for the dumbest things. Mom says dumbest things, dad is always mad for dumbest things, bro is lazy and I'm semi-lazy...

[quote=curtis]try applying for jobs now, i dont think its that hard. its almost summer, there should be quite a lot of summer jobs available at this time. maybe that will make them and yourself happy. also get your bro off the comp[/quote]

That's like the ONLY thing that's bothering me now; I'm unemployed. I have applied, I just haven't called back. I'm gunna do that today when I get home. The thing is, it's not just the job thing, it's also a family problem, even if my brother and I DO get jobs...
