I cry about everyday wishing I was gone and out of this life. My parents have practically no money. I want to get a job to support them, but I'm only 13. They aren't happy like before any more. They owe alot of debts and can't get another job with their little education cuz they went 2 the u.s. a litttle after highschool. They work hard though. They r also sick. So they can't even buy much medicine. Right now I have straight As and learn as much as I can 2 help my parents in the future, though it might be 2 late. Wat should I do?????????? I feel so depressed.

OK,,, you need intervention from an adult..Is there anyone you trust. Have you talked to your parents, I'm sure they are having similar feelings, even worse because they are the responsible ones. Keep the lines of communication open. Family counseling or at least some for you may help , no one should cry everyday. Count the blessing you do have. There may be help in your community your school social worker can steer your family too. Whatever you do, don't give up...Stay focused on your school work at 13 that is your job....if your parents came here they have dreams and hopes for themselves and you. You are a smart person think about the history of this country and the people who made it here with even less than what you have and facing tougher obstacles ....The American dream is not a dream it is a reality. Besides your parents are probably worried enough for all of you.....Take care stay in prayer and don't give up.

it's good you have a great sense of compassion for your family. And it's really mature that at 13 you want to get out there and make money to help them. Your parents work very hard to give you their very best, but their financial situation, hard for me to say this, isn't something you, at 13, should be responsible for. It's good that you're getting good grades and look forward to possibly going to college and stuff. Right now all you can really do is try to help around the house and find a job when your old enough. But don't forget about YOUR future. Don't feel depressed because you feel your part of the cause either. There are always tough times, but hey you'll get through it. Do; however, continue to get good grades so you won't have this problem.

I am sad for you that you feel as if the weight of the world is on your shoulders. You are, after all, only 13, and you are doing the very best by staying in school, getting those terrific grades. You and your parents must see a couselor, minister or paster, some one will be able to head your parents in a different direction. You just keep doing your best, encourage your parents and be good to yourself. I know you will come out OK. Be strong, gf.

I know its tough believe me...my money is also tight but you have to do whatever you have to do. Keep up the good grades in school....i bet that is making your mom and dad very proud of you. Maybe one day you can become a doctor or something. Theres really not much you can do for them at 13 yrs old as far as money goes. THey are the adults and they need to figure some ways of making ends meet. Just get your education and dont worry too much about things. You are a child and you need to live your life like a child until you are old enough to make a living for yourself. Your parents will manage to get through things...trust me on that. Keep up the great work in school....they must be proud of you. :)

Oh Honey. You are too young to be worrying like you do. What a lovely daughter you are for being concerned about your parents. Please talk to someone, maybe a school counselor, or a friends Mom. You need to let someone know what is going on. And when you let it all out, you will feel so much better. There are organizations that could help your parents, but you have to ask an adult for help. I was like that when I was your age. Things do get better. Please reach out to someone for advice and help. It is the season for giving so hopefully someone will be there for you. I wish you the best of luck, sweetie.

One thing you have to remember is that your parents made a choice to come here...they made that choice so YOU would have an opportunity. They wanted a better future for their children.
Nothing will make them happier than to see you succeed. Keep working and don't give up. As a parent I can tell you that there is nothing that makes them happier than you.
Good luck!
