Imagine writing up a fanfiction like OP to fuck with people on this board, and then laughing their asses off when boomers suck their dick unquestionably and claiming that denial of their story is an equivalent of subversion.

There is absolutely nothing of substance in this story. If I sat down for an hour I could write something even better. Nothing this person said is news. Even if it were true what is the point of telling us without any evidence? Fuck them shit like this helps no one.

BTW if a child up thru 12 yrs old who has been on the streets so long and being abused from house to house, when would they have had time to go to school and learn to write a story and communicate so clearly?? Does spell checker really clean things up? How about grammar and street talk? I'm sorry to be insensitive, but I was just wondering..

I ended up in a pretty decent high school after a few years of not learning much, and I did have a few nice people who helped me along the way. After that I went to community college and got an AA then (barely) made it into a state school where I got a degree that I currently use for my full time job.

OP, I Just can't buy this. I've taught plenty of kids from preschool to elementary thru 'decent' high school who can hardly string good sentences together and they have never been molested, drugged, raped etc. Many have naggy, abusive, or just negligent or lax parents. You must be a genius to overcome such odds and do the MOUNTAIN of homework required just to get out of 'decent' high school let alone make it through community college where many drop out and just work at Starbucks. OOOo you 'barely' made it to a 'state' school. Is that the usual prejudice of 'university' grads showing through?? Violin music maestro pls? BTW, you also through in the whole kitchen sink into your story. Everything we have discussed on these posts is in there. Yes, you flushed out the good people here on VOAT and can add coins to your 'degree that you currently use for your full time job'. Unless you are doing computer work, there is no such thing that college specifically trains you for. Our family friends were in G.A.T.E., nice families, good grades, studied hours upon hours and are burned out. None of them have jobs of them have jobs related to their degrees. The Indians from India have those jobs. This "fanfiction" is an apt description. Many glaring holes in this story.

Have you never heard of a nursing degree?

I appreciate your concern and doubt. Personally finishing my education was very difficult and it was a defense mechanism. I worked with a lot of tutors and spent a lot of time struggling so I could get to where I was because economic freedom for me meant freedom from having to rely on others, and that meant getting a well paying job that let me be independent.

My boyfriend was traumatically abused by his parents and some other people and left for dead at 13. He managed to rise above and he's a firefighter now and also does well for himself.

Some people do languish and are not able to overcome those things, but I knew that I didn't want to die, I didn't want to live on the street, and I didn't want to struggle, so I did what I had to do and sat down and studied my ass off. Different people have different motivations.
