I come from a broken family, abused, lonely as a ************ and always thinking about my life and where im going. Am i destined to become a criminal, I dont know what to do. Is this just what society wants me to become, a criminal cuz im latino and we're meant to be put down. I bust my *** in school but i always resort to smoking weed, and skipping class when i feel the pressure. I got the heart of a lion but damn, sometimes i believe that my fate is to become a piece of ****, criminal or die young. I dont know, u tell me something

Why do you set yourself up to fail by smoking weed and skipping class.pot wont turn you into a criminal but it will keep you stuck in sh-t hole life.Heart of a lion think a lion.By that do you mean your tough.Toughest thing to do.Not skip class and get high.Tell your friends your not getting stuck your going to be someone.Most will give you crap.Some may leave you.They were not the friends you want anyway then.Some may become envious because they wish they could change to.Others may thank you for giving them the courage to do the same.Don't expect payoff for changing instantly like escaping does may take 10yrs.but the payoff will be much better.PS don't have to give up occasional party J Everything in moderation.See that new will smith flick.start picturing yourself how you would want to be.Thoughts and there projections our more powerful than most know.when you start having bad ones throw them out.if you can't stop thinking about them put your body in motion.hands busy.you'll have a hard time trying to think and move at same time.Best would be if you could morph them in your head from bad to good.hold onto good.Good Luck.

Many were in your situation and became successful. DON'T LET THESE FEELINGS CONTINUE! Your environment and upbringing do not have to dictate your future. Keep your eye on the prize - graduating and getting the heck out of where you are right now. Do the best you can in school and consider going away to college (or living in a dorm at a nearby university) . You might have to take out a lot of student loans, but it will change your life for the better and you will be around people who will inspire you instead of bringing you down. In the meantime, you can seek guidance from an adult you know who's got it all together and if you are religious, a priest or pastor.
You can be whatever you want to be.

Try to be grateful for the things that you DO have. Just because of your race you think that YOU are destined to become a criminal so that is your decision not society's. Sounds to me like you have a huge chip on your shoulder about it. You don't have to become this piece of crap you are so worried about. If you have the heart of a lion then act like it. Bust your butt in school, make some friends if you can, there must be something that you are interested in. Talk to a school counselor about your homelife, maybe they can help you. You can turn this around and maybe help other kids in your situation. You don't have to be what you are worried about becoming. You can be so much if you put your mind to it. Get off the weed though because that is illegal and that will eventually get you into trouble. Seriously. Sounds to me like you really want to live a good life, you can.

No one's fate is clear. You make it as you go along, but at the same time, it was inevitable that you made that choice. Just because your family was horrible does not mean you have to be. You're not your family. You're you.
No one else can be who you are, and no one else can take your place.
And dying young......

k i know you can beleive in your faith but not your fate you can take charge of what you do but you have to have faith in what you do not to mention praying helps a long way also. if your gonna beleive that your life aint nothing thats the path you tend to follow but if you have faith that you can acomplish good and better things and belive in yourself than thats the path you will follow. just get motivated and quit feeling sorry for yourself.

you are the only one in control of your fate.Take charge of your life stop doing what is preventing you from having a betterr life, like drugs and skipping class. Make something of yourself , study hard and prove society wrong!

Don't think so much, only you can control what you become.
Just work hard and do your best.

These are questions you have to answer for yourself. The best advice in the world can not make you change your mind. The only person who can is you.
