Exactly what i was thinking throughout reading this entire thread...wow guys...

And him asking for advice didnt even come through to me while reading this...all that i was thinking was how can these people...the family i've come to know and love so dearly be so condescending?

No one knows why this guy is not in school and even if we did, it would not be our business. I get the trying to help bit but that is just not the right way to go about it. Ganging up on the guy who comes here for help and advice because his life circumstances are not what you call normal?

I saw another case such as this in tilted technology where a guy probably should not have phrased his question or problem the way he did and everyone who answered that thread completely ganged up on him telling him in not so many words that he's shitty for coming in there and asking people to do his work for him and "we dont do other people's homework". Maybe the guy was wanting to ask for all the suggestions of posting his work so that you guys could try and help him figure out where it had gone wrong and so forth...but you guys were just too (we have a saying here in SA - Afrikaans saying - Vinnig op jou perdjie) it means (direct translation - too quick on your horse)

but guys, seriously...the forum i joined three years ago, taught me (seriously) to ask and get to the core of the matter and try to come up with a solution in a fashionable manner before passing any judgement whatsoever...

That being said...i know absolutely fuckall about the law but i do suggest that you take the advice being given to you by the others and just know that they're good people and they mean well and i hope they didnt scare you away.
