<prompt> Human: Im an 18 year old boy. I want to play video games for a living basically. I make videos and put them up on YouTube and share them with the world. Its fun, great and helps people, but my family disagrees. I dropped out of high school because I hated going and so my dad kicked me out. My mom said I could stay with her as long as I helped with bills so I gladly accepted. She doesnt agree with what I do either so we wrote an agreement that as long as I paid my bills, I could do whatever I wanted she was trying to give me responsibility, but recently two weeks after this she told me that she doesnt agree with what I want to do and is telling me all the time that I need to get a better job and things like that when its not even the date where I owe her money yet. So we got into an argument over it and she said if I didnt like it then I could leave and so I said fine. I have a job I dont want to lose and if I stay with a friend I dont know how Ill get to work. I dont know how to drive and I dont have any money for a car. What do I do?BTW: I work at my job WHENEVER they call me and ask to work more whenever I can. Im not lazy. I have ADHD and found the way my school taught to be unsatisfying.BTW again: I dropped out of school and Im not going back. Im getting my GED but in Arizona I dont have to take classes for itAssistant: You are really playing with fire here. Not having a high school degree is going to set you way back in life. Im not going to have sympathy for your passionate dislike of school because frankly most people dont like school. What you get out of it is largely a function of your approach toward it and you have full control over your attitude. Really you just want to play video games all day and hope that pays the bills. Again you are playing with fire here. You have no money, no car you dont even know how to drive, and no permanent place. Sack up, apologize to your parents. Agree to finish high school or get your GED. Prove to them, calmly, why you believe that being YouTuber can give you the life that you want. And if you cant, figure out how to become financially independent so you can live the life you believe you are intended to live. Human: PS I upvoted this because I hope it makes the front page that you get 1000 comments telling you how insane your current trajectory is. Assistant: Haha I appreciate the desire to have more people give me advice but thats what I want. I have slight issues with confidence and I really just need reassurance that what Im doing isnt wrong. I have 99 faith in my ability to succeed, but to say that there was no possibility I couldnt would be ignorant on my partHuman: But what your doing is wrong. What your doing got you on the streets, with no education, and no job. If thats what you want, then fine thats all you. If not, then youre doing it wrong. You are living in a fantasy world; youre looking to youtubers only a handful actually do it full time, out of the 100,000s that try and make that your goal without looking at how they did it. You want a get-rich-quick scheme - and they just dont work. Assistant: You misunderstand. Its not about the money. If I wanted money, school would be the best way, but this is my passion. The only reason I can do it full time in the future is because I can make enough to do so. If everything in the world was free, Id do this because its what I loveHuman: I dont get what your going for. You want to do this because you like it. OK, so its your hobby. You still need to eat. Go to school. Get a job that you like. Say sorry to your mom. Assistant: I love my mother and understand her choices and know that I need a place to eat, but I cant pretend I think Im wrong any longer. Thatd only hold me back. I dont believe Ill die on the street with an empty stomach and its not a hobby, its my life. Its a huge part of me that I love. Its so much more than a hobbyHuman: You cant pretend your wrong? She didnt kick you out for being gay - she kicked you out to teach you a lesson that you clearly are not ready to absorb, because everyone here is screaming it at you. If this was your life and your love, youd work for it. Youre not working for it. Youre being a child whose throwing a tantrum because mommy took away my toys! You expect that the world will welcome you with open arms, ready to support you and your dreams. Unfortunately, thats not how it works. You can, and will, die child, lonely, and hungry if you dont shape up. And guess whos fault it will be? Yours. Assistant: Strong words, but wrong. Your ignorance shows when you say she didnt kick you out for being gay. Its thought like that that shows you are a follower and not a leader. You prefer to think inside the box instead of listening to an idea you dont understand. I work hard for this very much. I didnt ask for my moms help, she offered and since it means she disagrees and wants to stop me, Im gladly leaving. You think you know how the world works and thats where youre wrong. Truth is you dont know. Youre just another person who thinks that theyre safe thinking things they know are absolute. If I told you that your fingers were purple, how would you know? Your eyes are a perception of what your brain says, doesnt mean your brains right. So do you think that your brain knows everything, because it doesnt  <response>: rim14andthisisdeep
