Sick of living in Mass?

Question

Hello, I'm 15 and I live in MA, but i CANT STAND it anymore. I don't want to run away, but...

whenever i go on vacation to a different state people automatically think i'm a jerk because of the term masshole

my family can no longer afford anything

i hate my school with every fiber of its being

i hate the weather

getting my license is obviously going to be the biggest stress of my life :P

and i just plain hate the people, jobs, taxes, gas prices, and home prices here! any advice for me to go on for the next 3 years???

(p.s. i didnt know what category to put this in so i put it in enviroment as in living enviroment)

Answer 1

Okay... Move out of MA when you are able to.

We don't want you here if you can't stand us having a higher standard of living then most of the world.

And I personally like the weather here btw

P.S. We have the 2nd best educational system in the world behind Singapore.

Answer 2

well, it is hard being 15 but remember its not always greener on the other side. I left  RI in 2001 and for sunny Texas, well sunny is not the word, seaty , humid as a sauna and FLAT... not a change of season here. i look at old pictures of streams, and beaches and old friends. July on the Vinyard or stroll through the commons in fall or skiing in NH. You dont realize it now how really lucky you are. Times are TOUGH everywhre. Gas, food , houses but know there really is no place better then where family is closest. you sound like a smart girl.

Answer 3

I know it's tough being 15 in Mass.  But you should try being elsewhere --- tough too. I lived in Corning for a while. I hated the weather but I really liked the people. You should go out with friends more and let no one stop you from enjoying your youth.

Answer 4

you hit the nail on the head!! just hold on, best you can until your 18, good luck!

;my heart goes out to you  , your at a age  when you really can't do much traveling because you don't drive, you don't have a job, and please don't think   when your on a trip people think your a jerk NOT TRUE  where I am living now there they are   many people from MA  they are friendly, kind, helpful, I came out of C.C .TX  so I can see a difference in people, taxes are higher hear than in TX,  most inC.C.TX do not  have a high education level, the weather was always windy being near the ocean, even in the fall it was humid  not nice hair days, getting your license should be a fun thing  and it will be if YOU set your mind to it , gas prices hear are high also, although some States are even higher 409 gal I think TX might be a little cheaper they refine it there, some advice  to you"if you don't resolve your situation now  you will be caring   this baggage with you where ever you go  & you will find that people will not want to be around you"....try to look  at what you do have & make the best of it, be  happy look for people  you can be around  that are possitive, happy, &fun to be with.  P.S find a good bible beleaveing church and join the youth  try it what do you have to loose, you will find the youth will welcome you with lots of hugs I ganentee that
