I feel like my life isn’t worth living because I have a criminal record over a drunk incident. What should I do?

[Bekaaaaaaaahhhh]

Hey beckaa- Lots of people do stuff when they are drunk that are embarrassing or regrettable. Some can be terrible or illegal. You can look into having your record expunged. You are a young person and maybe you can find a sympathetic judge that will do this. If not, just learn from the mistake and do not repeat it.

Do not do anything stupid.😎😎😎

Deal with it. Do the best with what you have. Feelings are something you do on your own time. The world doesn't really care. Do the best you can. I assume getting jobs is the main difficulty you are experiencing, that and stigma or shame.

A Christian with a true change of heart will ask Jesus for forgiveness. And he will forgive then you can forgive yourself. That's where I would begin

[DannyUk2017]

Ohhh.. you're smoother comparing to me..😉🤫

[Fireguy17]

you're young, as long as it wasn't a felony it won't follow you forever.
Stuff happens.
Maybe next time be a bit smarter.
Sometimes you are fine, and once in a while you get caught.
Makes up for all the times you didn't get caught.

You’re way too young to worry about that. You have so much to live for. You haven’t killed anyone or abused a minor. You’ll be alright

Find Jesus..

1 John 1:9

''If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.''

Become a housewife? Nobody does a criminal background check on women in that career field.

[Bekaaaaaaaahhhh]

:( I don’t want to just be someone’s pretty face, I wanted a good future for myself too

[shortster]

Why would you think that a housewife is just a pretty face? Also a good future isn't unobtainable for a housewife.

[Bekaaaaaaaahhhh]

true. I better look for men who haven’t fudged up their life with a criminal record and hope one falls for me or at best is open to the possibility

[shortster]

I am sure plenty of guys would love to fall for you.

[dudeinohio]

Live your life. If it wasn't a felony, it hardly matters.

[Staximus]

Just learn from your mistakes and get over it. Half of my friends have DUI's

SHIT... IM FACING A FELONY DRUG CHARGE. WORSE CASE SCENARIO IM FACING A YEAR IN JAIL.

IM SCARED TO DEATH.

[Bekaaaaaaaahhhh]

I’ll pray for you friend. The justice system can be so unfair sometimes but we have to stay true to ourselves and hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Don’t be scared, you need you to be brave.

[NathanDavis]

it is worth living, you know it

[Bekaaaaaaaahhhh]

But fuck me, it put a damper on things

[NathanDavis]

not everything... so, work and focus on what you can still do something about it...

do not dwell and waste yourself on the one-mistake

[OldBlue]

How bad was the incident?

[Bekaaaaaaaahhhh]

I would have to message you to explain it’s a minor offence but it looks worse on paper

[OldBlue]

Trust me when I tell you that the unemployment rate among past criminals, is in some cases, less than the good guys.

[Bekaaaaaaaahhhh]

What happened was I got stopped by cops when drunk and they grabbed me and I resisted arrest by kicking my leg out and pushing her away. Woke up with barely any memory of what happened and two police assaults on my record. Sweet. I have a knife charge from my teenage years when I used to be a self harmer. Just sucks terribly. My dream was to do law as well.

[OldBlue]

Nothing is stopping you from doing law.

[Bekaaaaaaaahhhh]

If I use it as an excuse then I guess it means I didn’t even give myself the respect of trying but at the same time I know it may be harder for me to be taken seriously

[OldBlue]

Just move on, because your imagination just might be your own worst enemy.

[slatyb]

What consequences are you suffering at a result?

[DextroShade]

Find a man to take care of you.

[motownplayer2000]

Seek some help. You need it

[TallAnon]

Does it actually change anything?

[Anonymous]

What was the incident?

[RedInnocent68]

Go into politics.
