Personally I think that stripping (though perhaps not the best job) is a legitimate job. However I do not think it is best for you. you clearly have had several problems with sexual abuse and you will not be protected from that in a strip club. If you go to a college or business (the owner) and tell them your story you might be able to get a grant or scholarship. Then you can go to college get a good job and then wave your money and happiness in you're parent's face. :) |

Just want to say I think Stephanie C hit it right on the head. Stripping is a legitimate job, but it sounds like you're already in big danger of undervaluing yourself and your body. My concern is that your past experiences may have led you to believe that stripping is all you can do right now. That's not true. Take Stephanie's advice and try to find a job in a safe, supportive environment. Then use those skills to leverage yourself into increasingly better jobs while you work on your education. Two great web sites I recommend all the time for finding out about career and college are www.collegeboard.com and www.bls.gov/oco. Good luck - you can definitely do it. |

The kind of work you do and the type of people that you hang out with does have an effect on the kind of person that you will become. When you go to work you should look around you at the type of people that are customers and employees and ask yourself if that is what you really want to be. Just the fact that you are asking shows that you have some doubt. You have your entire life ahead of you and the life of a stripper will not look very good twenty years from now or earlier. You should look into a Community College near you and go take a couple of classes. Talk to a career counselor and see what is available. There is a big world out there just beyond your present horizon and you should go for it. |

Although stripping is a legal occupation, I wouldn't advise it. Not only is it degrading to you as a woman, it is such a negative environment and with all that you have been through in your life the last thing you need is more negativity. There are ways to make it without subjecting yourself to such things. It would be "easy" and quick money but is it worth giving up your dignity? |

How much schooling have you had??? You definitely need counseling. You have to be responsible for yourself. I am surprised you are not in a pscyho ward for all those things you went through. Stripping is an easy way out. I don't understand why you say you have "careless parents." And, then you say you live with your single Mom???? I would suggest you stay away from the stripping and try to go back to school - remember you are the keeper of your own destiney. |

No No No!!! It is not the end of the world. You are still a young girl and plenty to live for. Stripping is degrading and shameful. It breaches the basic values of life. As suggested by other comments, carry on earning in an honourable way and at the same time take up studying - surely you must have an interest in something or naturally be good at certain things. Why don't you take up your studies in that discipline? Once again, please do not resort to stripping. |

Hi. My view is that there is a better way to get through life. I know there is a big draw to get attention from men by showing off your body. However, it will not satisfy you. Another person recommended you seek assistance. I think tha tis a great idea. you have gotten the short end of the stick all your life. I know life is not fair. You are old enough to take control of your own life now. Do not let the mistakes of your parents continue to dictate who you are now. help can be found. Go to a school councillor, a church, a social agency. Find someone who will listen. |

why dont you just stay in school. finish school. get a job and move out of there. you dont need to strip because you had a hard life.
if everyone who has a hard life was a stripper, that would be the only job around. |

don't do it, that lifestyle is a bad one. The money might seem good but the consequences are far reaching. Even if you don't get caught up in the drugs, you will be branded for the rest of your life.
