I trired to tell them that I would fail miserably with all the problems I'm trying to manage, and basically, they don't give a shit.

Oh I wish it would. These problems really started to flare up in 10th grade. I flunked out, dropped out (with their consent at the time, go figure), and then they forced me to go get a GED 6 months later. They've been on me to get a job (not help for all of my mental issues), and I've been failing at barely trying that for a few years. Now, they've switched gears and want me to go to uni. Not ONCE have they taken any of the things I've said to them about my issues seriously. It's just "get a job, go to college, or get the hell out of our house!"

Pick the one person you know who you think is most trustworthy and understanding and force yourself to tell them. If you break down, it's all right. It shows them how much it's hurting you.

Having them there with you to help tell the docotors or whoever else about what you're going through will strengthen your claim, and make the whole process go along easier. You don't *have* to do it, but if you don't, then your only other option is to force yourself through it all alone.

Alright /jp/, according the the parents, I have been a leeching NEET far too long, and I don't want to take out loans so I can take some shitty university courses so it looks like its job time.

What is some piss easy job I can look for that might hire me even if I have no references?

I consider NEETs to be the inheritors of the Earth, the next step in evolution.

When robots start to replace the workforce in droves, many will be left jobless and economies will crash.
Only NEETs will know how to weather such an event and will survive the coming storm. Many others will fight, riot, or commit suicide. But we will be safe in our rooms. And then one day we will emerge as the new rulers of the Earth.
We will be ready.

I used to get adderall so I can actually be productive every so often. I have the papers and a legitimate diagnosis of ADHD and such. Had been taking such medicine ever since I was a kid. I have the same doctor I had as a kid too.

But I tried to get a new prescription and was denied, as the practice I go to won't prescribe it anymore because "kids abuse it too much these days." And I have to go to a expensive neurologist to get reassessed and prescribed even though I had these for years.

Sometimes when I hear something outside, I stand up to look out of my window. Usually it's something out of the field of view, but occasionally I'll see my neighbors across the street. They're a mormon family. A father, a mother, a son, two daughters, and a dog. The son moved out a few years after they moved in. I assume he got married after returning from his mission.

Just now I heard a basketball and when I looked it was one of the girls throwing it into the basket in their driveway. For some reason, I like to watch their family. It relaxes me. Some nights one of the daughters will read on the porch, or two members of the family will ride the tandem bike. In the summer the daughters occasionally have friends over and they lay in the grass of their frontyard in their swimsuits, enjoying the sun and grass. On Saturday mornings the father does yardwork with one of his daughters. The frontyard is very well kept. The family occasionally plays with the dog in the frontyard. A few weeks ago one of the daughters threw the dog's frisbee on the roof.

Does watching a family like this seem weird? Does anyone else here watch their neighbors?

Skype requires the use of a client program that is not free software; in other words, the users don't control it — it controls them.

You should never run a nonfree program, so this is enough reason to refuse to use Skype. But there are other bad things about Skype.

Skype refuses to say whether it can eavesdrop on calls. That almost certain means it can do so.
Skype gave personal data about a Wikileaks supporter to another company without any legal obligation to do so.
Skype churns the meaning of preference settings, and gives its users a run-around when someone cheats them.
Microsoft has changed Skype to make it easier for states to snoop on users.
What to use instead? The most obvious alternative is a long-distance phone card. They are quite cheap nowadays, and they work with any phone.

Bad. If in a university, at least.

I have tried writing why, but it would require something analogous to an essay.

In short:

You're thrown in at the deep end.

The only way to get help doesn't want to help you (demonstrators).

Bad manuals. They'll tell you essentially what to do, but not how to do it. This is related to the above point. It sort of expects you to inherently know certain techniques without ever being taught.

The resources are limited, which leads to intense competition.

The experiments never work perfectly - everyone fabricates data.

What you are told is good lab practice, and what will get you a good grade are often contradictory.

The structure is sometimes woefully inept and will completely overload the amount of work required sometimes.

It all creates a very stressful environments where the expected standard isn't attainable, so you have to just cram whatever you can together and hope for the best.

I'd probably disagree with most of your points aside from the fabricating data bit, which I suppose supports the good grade point. I personally never had to do that as you were more or less expected to make a lot of mistakes, but thats kind of Biochem for you. My most glowing experience was doing an honors thesis in my final year of Biochemistry, but I was supported by the single best PI a person could have for the entirety of my project. I made sure to interview a few different individuals before choosing my PI for my thesis, and my effort payed off in how fantastic my experience was.

This was at UBC, so a pretty decent university, but the Biochemistry program was only around ~150 people per year so somewhat more intimate than say Biology.

Send an email to random professors and ask if they're interested in hiring an undergrad for the summer or just part time work.
