I’m 18, just finished school last October and don’t have a job. I’ve been looking for about 6 months applying to everything. No luck.

I have no income at all,

I used to get $80 a week from the government and it stopped. Now I’ve been waiting 2 months to be approved for government payments and it’s still processing

It’s getting to me so bad that I literally have no money. I have 4 cents in my bank.

My boyfriend always pays for everything and I feel so bad. I used to pay for a lot when I could but now I can’t. I can’t even offer. I feel like shit.

We’re going away today for the long weekend with his mates and I have no money for anything I don’t even want to go. I have my friends birthdays that I can’t go to because I don’t have money for a gift. Its making me so upset. I can’t even see friends because I don’t have money to do anything.

I start studying in July and right now It doesn’t look like I’ll be able to because I don’t have money to pay for anything.

My mum tries to help out but she doesn’t have much money either. I feel bad for taking from her
