<prompt> Human: So basically what the title says, I was expelled for not attending class which is 100 my fault. I have been struggling with depression since I was thirteen and it ultimately led to me just skipping class.Now of course this is my fault and I wish I could go back and change my behaviour, but its too late now and I sorely regret it. I have absolutely no job experience and practically no volunteer experience either. My current plan consists of giving my resume online and tomorrow Ill be going out and applying to stores in person. Ive seen somewhere that if I havent had a job by now, employers would view me as lazy so I should lie about something that has kept me occupied these past couple of years like a sports team or something.Those are pretty much my thoughts about this situation, just got the news around an hour ago and Im using a throwaway since people I know are aware of my reddit account.Thank-you in advance for any help you can give me and I apologize for any errors in this post, on mobile right now.Also I wasnt sure where to post this so I hope this isnt too off topic.Edit: I will be going to counseling sessions and then hopefully returning to school for the second semester. Right now getting a job and maybe taking a course online seems to be my only option according to my counselors. I live in Richmond, Vancouver if that information is any help.  <response>: I would first determine how to get a GED. Without that, many jobs will pay a lot lessthere will be less opportunities.
