SCHOOL WORK (YUK...?)
I feel like quitting. Why should I bother?
Female with training generally earn more money per hour. This means that you can either work less hours, or do more travel, or eat out more.
Give yourself options!
What happens to fairytale Cinderella whose Prince turns into a nasty nightmare?
She may feel that she has no choice but to stay with him in an unpeasant place if she has no better options.
So get trained in SOMETHING!
Suggested plan: Book an appointment with your school guidance officer or talk to a family friend about what you are good at as well as what you enjoy.
