It’s nice to see you posting again to be honest :smile:

That must mean you have a hell of a lot of work experience then, which can only be a good thing Cherry :smile: Do you mind me asking how long you’ve been on jobseekers? It’s harder for our age group than any others because many of us lack the experience that jobs are looking for, which is just confounded by places on taking us on, so it’s like ‘How on EARTH are we meant to get experience, if we’re not given the chance? So yeah, I understand what you’re getting at :/

Depression wouldn’t have helped AT all Cherry :/ I guess feeling your way back into A Level’s wouldn’t the worst option? At least it’d be another avenue to meet new people? And on a basic level at first, you have an immediate shared interest in the subject you’re studying?

That’s just society for you :/ Surely they see it as strange because they must think you’d be a good girlfriend for someone and that’s why they were surprised? If they don’t want to hang out with then they’re not worth it and can’t be nice people? :smile: The first thing that comes to mind some kind of youth club? Maybe try and get involved with one? You can’t really call yourself a failure at 20 can you? You attempted A Levels with some sort of depression. Some people don’t even attempt A Level’s? Well you’re guaranteed to meet new people with both of them :smile: See, that’s the way forward. You’re planning ahead and you’re planning positively which is great :yes:


I've been on JSA for almost six months now. And before that I was unemployed for quite a few more months as well. It really sucks, but what more can I do eh?

Thanks for the posts, I'll give all that some thought. Sometimes I wonder if it's worth trying to go to a club, bar or pub alone in an attempt to socialise, or if it'd just be a bad idea? Then again, one of my sisters does turn 18 soon, so maybe I could try and drag her out with me one day, haha?

Most people worry about rejection and being ignored, it's perfectly natural! And you shouldn't let yourself get down about it ok?

Good to hear! AH, sure it'll pick up! :h:

Well, I'll be honest and say its not, but it does mean I have not much of a social life. I am a ride operator in a amusement park. only been there 2 weeks though, well this is my third starting tomorrow :smile:

Yes a few. Maybe a few years... but we're getting there :tongue: oh but of course. Although I've given up 'banter'ing with Chris in case he gets upset, what with being a Liverpool fan :mmm:
