This is the situation I’m in right now… back in July I got my self into trouble with the law… I was in jail for a week then got bail, been on house arrest for 3months now, so either I goto trial to beat these charges, If found guilty I could be looking at a year in jail… or If I plead guilty 5 charges will be dropped and I plead guilty to 3 charges, spend 3months in jail and have 2years probation… If I goto all these appointments for anger management and alcohol program, I would get less time, probly a month or 2 in jail… I have server social anxiety and jail is the worse place to be… so for the last 3months Iv been so depressed I tryed to hang myself, and now I’m thinking should I end my life, is it worth living? I’m 24yrs old I live with my parents and on disability ‘ I dont even have my grd 12, I was happy before all this b.s and now I feel like my life is ruined……. since I cant leave my house and get out more to face my fear of social anxiety, it has gotten alot worse to talk to people I dont know…. life sucks!

I’m sorry you’re going through all that. I think you should make the choice that works out best for you. The less jail time the better. You’re so young. Don’t end your life. Things have to get better and here, everyone will support you, just take it one step at a time. I know it sounds a lot easier said than done. Don’t just move forward, fight all the way there and like I said, we’re all here standing next to you.
Seriously dotn worry about your gradfe 12 too much, i got expelled in year 10 then reapeated year ten and left half way through year 11.
i am 27 and currently doing a diploma in business management.
When i was your age i was a junky. Life changes so quickly its defiantly worth moving on
It’s a no brainer… do the anger management and AA programs, you’ll be better for it and 2 months time is doable.
Move forward for sure. Firstly, you know you did whatever you are being punished for, so man up, and take the beatings. You will be stronger for knowing that you did the right and noble thing.
Second, learn from it, it will only make you stronger… then years down the road you will be able to relay this story to someone and believe it or not… they will probably admire and look up to you for your conviction.
I understand that may seem like a ton of shit right now, but things could be so much worse. Like others have said, you realized you made mistakes and youre owning up to them. Tons of people go through that. You have your whole life ahead of you, don’t give it up that easy for something as petty as some classes and a posssible short time in jail.
keep on keepin on.
