Hello basilers my name is Alex and i am currently 13. My life has been going downhill ever since the summer. I had to live with my grandparents since i ran away from home back in June because i got an F in History (if anyone remembers that 27 page thread in June) and i got a beating. Well for the whole summer my grandparents have been being so greedy lately. They are selfish, lazy, and greedy. They are 53 (yes 53 my mom is 28 and i am 13). The reason for this is because they have their own buisness which they DO NOT even work at all at. They just make my uncle do it for them 8 hours a day on the computer putting stuff on ebay for people for 8 hours a day. The shop is like a shop that puts stuff on ebay for people and we keep 40% of the money it sold for. Our feedback is already at 71,000 +feedbacks. Well since my uncle has been on vacation they wanted me to do his work. My uncle already had a job working as a computer technician and when he comes home he drives to the shop and works for 8 hours again. Since he left my grandparents left all the work for me. My whole summer i spent atleast 8 hours a day on ebay putting stuff up and not getting paid a cent. I have to buy my own food and i have to sleep on a couch at the shop. Since school starts they are yelling at me telling me i have to get all A's this year and they are not making me put anything up. But they have been yelling at me about why im not helping and how i can study later. I mean wtf why can't they just get a job instead of relying on their son or their grandson? I mean i can't help them forever. They keep telling us stories about how they came from Vietnam in a village and how i should help them because they had to live thru all that. They are 53 and that is still considered young. I know older people who still have a job. If they don't want to learn how to put stuff on ebay then thats too bad and they should just die. They just go on and be like Alex how come you had 2,500 items on ebay put now there is less? Or Alex you are not doing me a favor you are helping yourself so you will learn how hard it is to make money. WTF this is not your village in China or Vietnam or where ever the hell you are from. It is easier to make money in America. What other job should i get while in 8th grade? EDIT: I am not asking for flame at all. It doesn't take a genius to know that my mom was 15 when she had me. I was simply asking for help.

mskillaboy : In all seriousness, You're probably the greatest person I know of this moment. You are pretty much superior to everyone else on basilmarket right now, and I envy you for all your success. I'm NOT kidding or being sarcastic. Honesty is one of the most important keys to being successful, as well as doing what you need to do when you need to do it. You need to be honest with yourself, who are you and what are you doing? Is this how you want to live? Look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself, what do I need to fix right now? Success starts with attitude. You will achieve success most easily through your attitude. You have to think like a winner and act like a winner, because you ARE a winner. No one else can stop you from winning. Through this hard work and selling on e-bay, you should be learning many lessons every day. After you know what to do, based off of all the learning you've done, you should be able to take the right steps to reaching your goals and getting where YOU want to go. Thank you for the help but there is one factor that doesn't mix with what you said. I mean how exactly is putting stuff for auction everyday for 8 hours a day while im 13 help me learn lessons? Also, how does it help with what i want to become in the future? I really want to be a real estate agent when i grow up.

You ran away from an F, plus just one beating? And 3 months later, you're already complaining. You ran away. Your fault. Get over it. Be glad your grandparents are letting you live with them.

why not go back to your parents, i feel sad hearing that you ran away, but i think your relationship with your parents can be mended. As for being 13 and already doing some sorta work for 8 hours a day does sound unfortunate, so yea just think about it. Apologize for getting an F in history, and try harder in school this year. If you're smart enough at 13 to know how to operate ebay and stuff (which i don't really know how myself lol), then i think you are capable of doing better in school.
