Very discouraged
Wow - I am despondent about my niece right now. She currently is not presentable and not employable material: obese, acne ridden, snaggle-toothed, bad hair and worse clothing, and oh yeah, illiterate. How could she give herself less of a chance of making a living? By getting her tongue pierced. Jesus fucking Christ. I guess this is fine if her plan after graduation is to change diapers for $8 an hour and live at home for the next decade or so. I really am hoping for her, and more from her, but that may be wasted energy.
