Nothing against you but technology is such a problem for today's youth. I see it in my family and friend's families. A lot of kids don't care about driving, working or hanging out with friends. I grew up in the 80s. We didn't have cell phones or computers. We hung out, lifted weights, worked on cars, went to the movies, cruised, went fishing/hunting, etc. My biggest goal was to drive. That was my ticket to freedom. I was told if I wanted a car at 16, I better get a job at 15. I also had to pay for my insurance and gas. Working gave me perspective. I met new and interesting friends. I had a blast. I wouldn't trade my youth for today's youth for no amount of money. I would suggest getting a job. That will keep you busy while socializing. It could help you lose some weight. Replacing a meal with a salad would help. I lost 9 pounds in 2 weeks by doing that along with replacing my late night snack with boiled carrots or sliced cucumbers if youre craving chips. Good luck. I hope it works out for you.

    I completely agree you worked for it, just putting that there for viewers who may think today's gas prices.
