How to Get through Hard Times...

    So basically today has put me in an awful, depressed, sad, mood.....everything except my very loving relationship is sinking fast, and i don't know how i'm supposed to get through this...i'll just explain:

    1) I got a letter from the school today telling me I am in danger of not graduating, because I am failing one class and getting a D in the other...I have never hated school in my life, but this year I just hate it so much I can't seem to have the motivation to do well, to even...care....

    2) Grandma and I got in a huge fight today, like usual, which ended in her telling me that when i turn 18 (december 8th) i am going to need to find somewhere else to live, because i cannot live here. i don't know where to go...my dad and i do NOT get along...there's my mom, but she has hardly enough money as it is, i'd hate to put more of a strain on their household. my boyfriend told me i can live with him, but we've only dated for a month! what if we break up? then i'd be homeless all over again. and my best friend said i can live at her house for a while until i find somewhere permanent, but i don't wanna be a burden. i think overall, the best thing would be to live with my mom, but i guess i'll just have to ask her..but she lives 2 hours away (luckily, my boyfriend lives 20 min away from her, so at least i'd have SOMEONE still...)

    3) I have no money...i work, i have a job...but living costs more money then i earn, and i don't pay for much as it is. all i pay for is food, car insurance (125.00 a month, ugh) and w/e it is i want (i.e. clothes, my homecoming ticket/dress, hair cuts, etc.).

    4) During the fight, grandma informed me she is taking my car back, so i have no means of transportation, so I'm just screwed...

    How do i overcome all this? I'm too young to be worrying so much! I'm 17, and i'm losing sleep and crying because i can't afford to LIVE? beause i won't have somewhere to live soon? this is messed up..i need help....

    Erika you are a amazing and talented person, finish school and do the best you can. With all the knowlegde you have im sure you will get a better job and things will be easier for you. I have faith in you. Now it's your turn, stay either place as long as you finish school and just give them what you can to help out, I'm such they'd understand and be all the more willing to help you so you can further your education.

    Yeah..i guess you guys are right...i know i need to do better in school, its just tough, esp now that im so stressed about living. i told some of my friends i was probably moving away in dec, they were heartbroken, it sucks. i'm going to have to start all over in a new school if i live w/ my mom, and the only person i'll know is my little brother [freshman]...it's just gonna suck no matter what i do, but i have no choice...i had to pay for homecoming tickets today because i already promised EVERYONE [bestie, boyfriend, other friends, myself..] that me and eric were going...its my chance to show him off =p but geez, now i really have no money...meh.

    i wish things could go back to how they were before i got a job..which was gma paid for food..and every once in a while clothes/other stuff for me..but now, it's like im an adult. bah....
