    I asked you to see a doctor. No one said you were a failure. If your parents work, like Wondergirl said,they may have insurance. Ask them. Get a physical to rule out any health issues.

    Why would I need to go to a public library? What would I do there?

    I asked both of them they don't have health insurance.

    You would job hunt and also apply for a library job.

    Ok, then look up where your nearest free clinic is located. A health issue may be the reason you feel the way you do. Get some help. You are reaching out now, so that is a start. There are job agencies that help place people in jobs. This time of year there are temporary holiday positions.

    I will say this on clothes, I have not bought a new shirt or pant in 20 years, I buy all of my clothes at the thrift store, goodwill or salvation army. I doubt I have any one piece of clothes that cost over 3 dollars for each, Most are from the 5 dollar bag sales.

    And I am dressed great. Even including nice suits.

    Next you need to start doing things on your own, someone is not always going to be there to go with you.

    Also you need to start going location to location filling in applications, stores, McDonalds and the such. With no work history and no college, not many need for a resume, most of the places you will be applying will be using applications.

    Ask your mother if she can keep an eye out for an entry level job for you at her factory. You could commute with her!

    Ask your father if you can help him find and catalog music for him, for free, as a contribution to the household. Maybe even enter it into the computer, such as in Open Office (free version of Excel). With him home all week, you two could work together.

    Do work around the house (which I'll bet you do already) to make yourself feel better too. As a young person you can be helpful to parents in many ways, and gain some self esteem. Even finding coupons for groceries online is a way to 'work.' Some of the biggest coupons are found by going directly to a company's website.

    Your going to have to start at the bottom,
    Apply for everything you can find,
    No job is beneath you.

    Try to spin things to make you appear in a better light

    e.g. if you don't have anything to fill you time with at the momet.

    You are available to work any shift, even night shifts.
