Author Topic: how do I really go on vacation  (Read 1358 times)

ok so I need to give little backstory, so be advised this is not a cry for sympathy, just it wouldn't make much sense of my current situation if I didn't add this.

summer completely sucks ass right now. my dad works 6 to 6, so he can't make much time for me. my mom is a total wreck; being bipolar and refusing to take her meds. she isn't much of a threat now days but more of a annoyance. she eats and watch's tv all night, then sleeps all morning. I only get to hang with my friends like once or twice every week because they are busy with stuff. I've tried convincing my dad to send me to summer camp but he says our money situation aint so rich right now. so now for most of the week I'm stuck with my computer and tv and my daily routine of exercise to fill the time.

so I've been trying to plan a vacation for myself for quite awhile now, but I have a few obstacles in my way:

my mother is a complete starfish and if I go on vacation she has to too. when she is with the family on past vacations she ruins the damn trip by screaming 24/7

money isn't so tight like I said before so planning one would take a few obstacles

as stupid as this sounds, I know I need a parent to come with me because I can't drive yet and it wouldn't be easy renting a hotel. but I really really just want to be alone or with friends on the trip




sorry if this is messy im just really tired of having not much to do and it's only been a week

that sounds like a pipe dream, to say the least. just find more interesting stuff to do on your computer

find more interesting stuff to do on your computer
lol

because sitting on the computer is the same as going out and doing stuff

crash at a friend's house or some stuff. go to one of those game places with laser tag, play video games at their house, pull all nighters together.

Sorry but real life stuff with friends > computers alone any day.

talk with your friends and plan some time to stay with them for an extended period. like a week or something

Do stuff with friends and keep up your schedule of going outside and relaxing indoors, your situation rn kind of makes me think that a vacation wont happen, sorry.

send everyone else in your family on a vacation and stay home

depends on the person and their current attitude, as well as what friends they're hanging out with

like whenever I'm sad, I don't want to push that on people, so I sit alone on the computer, plus I'm kind of too shy to get anyone to come over or to hang out

Try contacting older men over the internet to help arrange hotel rooms for you and have some company along the way.

either you think this vacation idea is reasonable somehow, and would like to tell him how he can achieve it, or you didn't read the OP enough to see that he is unable to hang out with his friends more...

No I was commenting solely on your comment. Specifically:

how is it not? its not hard to rent hotel room for a day or two lol

op, i would suggest finding some cool spots nearby that are relative to your interests (park, musuem, beach, aquarium, something like that) and go with your friends every now and then. see if maybe one of their parents can drive, or if they have any friends that can drive. even if its not a "vacation", getting out and doing things every now and then is still fun.

well it depends how well-knit you are within both online and irl communities
