How can I convince my dad to get me a dog?

Your family will not come to the conclusion you have said, but will be terribly upset and unhappy. They will likely think it is something they did, or they could have done something. Even if you are facing financial issues, your family NEEDS you.

Consider who you are, besides in a monetary sense. You have things you bring to life each and every day, and your family needs these things. Additionally, if you are being treated for depression, you may already be on antidepressants.

If that is the case, then consult with your physician and let them know that they are not doing their job. Can you find a more ecconomical way to live, and do something different, if your current source of emploment is not working out? (Farming?) Maybe, you can teach at a community college - there must be courses in this, and often someone in the field is utilized for this.

Can you consult with others in your line of work for some ideas, in case there is something you have not thought of that might help? At any rate, talk with your family and tell them how you are feeling. You need to get your feelings out and let others know you are feeling bad.

Don't hold it in, but let others know you are feeling down. If your family is not sensitive to how you are feeling, be SURE to talk with your therapist, friends and others. Get around others so you have support.

Those are my talking points. http://experienceheritage.org.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
