“One Moment, One Decision: Heartbreaking Tales of Lives Forever Altered”

Friend of mine from a wealthy Middle Eastern country/family didn’t quite ruin his life but f****d it up for a while. Was in Canada on a student visa but was working after graduating and had applied for permanent residency. Got rejected, so he took out every credit card he could find and ran them all up because he was leaving the country forever that week. Tells his parents he is coming home and why – mom makes a few phone calls and turns out the kid had screwed up some paperwork, and it was no problem to get it fixed up and approved. That was 15 years ago and he still lives here, but his credit card debt was more than his annual salary and his parents (correctly) told him he was an idiot and to pay it himself. He also lost out on a job opportunity the next year because his credit was such a disaster.

Me! I didn’t believe my mom she said she’d kick me out at 18, so I never bothered to get a part time job to save money. My 18th birthday came around, and I said “nope” to her when she asked if I’d gotten a job or had living arrangements figured out. The next day, I came home from a friend’s place to a laundry basket of clothing at the door. She drove me to a homeless shelter and never let me come back home.

I had a classmate who tried to OD to end his life. He survived. He was in a coma for like a year, then when he woke up he couldn’t talk or even remember who he was. He’s getting better slowly but he’s now mentally disabled. Just so brutal. He’s only 22. I know the brain is an amazing thing, so hopefully he’ll get to some sort of normal eventually, but he’s never going to be the same.
