How much control do you have over your life?

Quite a lot, as I'm a homeschooled teenager with a lot of free time to do whatever.

Same here I am a well partially home schooled more of a independent study student. As for if everyone has the same opportunity to make a living from something honestly I think everyone has a chance, but if they don't take a risk they will never know. People don't go homeless because they are lazy, it's because they are addicted to a lifestyle of wanting everything easy. Some people loose everything if they go to jail. Cars get repossessed, landlords throw all belongings away, and that's when they go under distress. That's when the drugs come into effect it's the only way to escape the pain, and so it's looks like the only alternative out of the suffrage.
