17. Corey, I remember when you joined!

You were SUCH an impressive 14-year-old. I have a terrible memory, so it really says something that I remember you from so long ago.

I am so sorry about all your problems. It sounds like the world is crashing down around you. Have you tried calling a crisis line? Not necessarily for emotional support (although I bet you could use some), but they might have access to practical information about agencies and organizations that might help. I've just started training to work on a crisis line and am learning how to find sources online for all kinds of problems that callers have. Unfortunately I'm not there right now or I could try to find stuff for you (I need to sign in with a password so I don't have access to the program from home).

The crisis line is 800-273-8255 and the suicide line is 800-784-2433. I wish I could absolutely promise they'll be able to find something for you, but they should at least be able to help you find a food pantry near you and stuff like that that might help.
