Do you really understand where I am coming from? I'm done, the lack of respect is not only annoying, its killing me on the inside. I work my ass off and what do I have to show for it? Nothing, so what is the point. What am I getting out of sticking to a job thats paying me less than the min. wage? Why do I continue school, why not drop out like every other member of my family? Why not let myself endure the torment of having the shit kicked out of me by a bunch of Yankees? I've really had enough.

Well if you stay in school you can get a better job. Isn't getting paid below the min. wage illegal??????

Greg, don't give up! You're very strong and you will get through this. Do Not drop out of school. If you drop out, you will get nowhere, and since I think you are smart, I know you can get somewhere in life. Find another job that pays better. I thought you worked construction. You need to stay in school though, because I know you can achieve greatness. DO NOT GIVE UP.

Gregory! Take a deep breath here. The reason you do all this and put up with all this can be summed up in two little words: Cheyenne & Noor. Got it?
You've got major league responsibilities now, you have a family, you cannot afford to crap out on them or otherwise respond to your (understandable) frustration by quitting. it;s not fair to them, and it's not fair to yourself, either. Besides, the world needs you.
Come up with a way to tolerate life's injustices here and persevere, keep moving forward. You want (and deserve) better for your new family, reach inside yourself and find the strength you need to deal with the frustration and difficulty. And if all that still fails, go in and pick up Cheyenne, hold her very close so you can feel her little heartbeat and smell that delicious baby smell. Maybe that will jar you back to reality and give you the strength and perspective you need to continue moving forward.
And do give her a big one from her Uncle Sam.

You can't quit because you have a family to support and you know that.
Don't quit. Don't think of quitting. If you do then you are contributing to a statistic. The percentage of teen fathers running out.
So don't quit and don't even think about it. Keep going and maybe it will get easier soon or maybe later but either way you need to keep going.
