Did you even read his post? Really. Im serious.

The tact he displayed in replying to your post suggests he much more grown up than you are.

My Chilean friend: you are obviously wrestling with issues that many 17 yearolds(many people for that matter) never think to raise for themselves. I grew up in upper-middle America, and some of the materialistic(yes, thats is definitely an English word) ideologies of that class make me want to puke. It sometimes makes me wish that I'd had to overcome an abusive father and a crack-whore mother instead of something as subtle as an ideology that colors your worldview.

Don't get down on yourself. Get a job, like one poster suggested. Better, volunteer somewhere. You'll feel great about yourself and probably meet a lot of people way more screwed up than you are. Take it easy.
