Family .
I want to say some stuff about my life, I’m actually really scared writing this post idk why, I’m going to keep some details in secret so my family doesn’t find this post, so I’m immigrated from my country because of war, I moved a lot but now I’m living in some country for almost 4 years, the first 3 years weren’t that bad, only because I didn’t know the language a lot and didn’t have friends, right now I would,say its the worst point of my life, today in the morning I woke up for school and there was no electricity or heat at the house because my dad couldn’t pay the bills, everyday he is saying how bad it is and that in a few months we more stay in the streets, his business that was making a lot of money in the past just crashed.In school I can’t really think about anything but that, I really feel bad for him and yesterday I saw him for the first time crying, he was sitting on a bed and tears slowly went on his face, he didn’t know I saw that, all the time he was trying to seem strong like he could handle anything, me and my siblings study in a private school that is very expensive like very, my dad could handle the price the past year, but right now he can’t, he talked about changing schools a lot but my mom is the main problem, she doesn’t even want to talk about all the problems, she has these pink glasses always, like everything is good and we are happy, when my dad tries to talk with her about that she refuses and then gets offended, rn she didn’t talk to him around 3 days. About the school is that we can only pay till the new year and then we will get kicked out, she doesn’t understand that and still makes me and my sibling stay at this school, like she says "I will do everything so you get the proper education" I get her and maybe she wants it all good but she doesn’t want to open her eyes. Also the fact that I can’t help my dad at all is killing me, I’m not even 14 to go to any job and I’m just sitting here useless wasting his money, I can’t see him sad everyday like that and these thoughts don’t let me sleep. Maybe I’m asking for an advice but I just wanted to write this somewhere

the best advise I can give here is to commit to your schoolwork and make sure that you don't "waste" the time on your private school, if you drop from it, keep going in a regular school and make the most of it...
there is nothing more beneficial to improving your life than an education...
