[You say you live in New Orleans and had to make office repairs, so my response below assumes that you were affected by the Hurricanes this past year.]\n\nYour FAFSA results are likely going to reflect your mother's income (a) before she made the necessary repairs to her office and (b) before your friends, um, sabotaged her financial security and your academic future.\n\nSchools are keenly aware of the effect that Katrina/Rita had on families in your area.  They understand that the losses that occurred during that time aren't going to be reflected on your 2005 tax returns (which is what you must refer to when filing the FAFSA), making most LA residents look more wealthy than they have become.  When you have applied for Financial Aid -- or while you are doing so -- write the school's Financial Aid Office a letter detailing both your past and your current financial circumstances. If your mother's savings have been depleted, say by how much. If her income has decreased dramatically, say that too (and quantify). The more information a Financial Aid Office has, the more equipped they are to increase your aid or grant an appeal for scholarship.\n\nThere are now a bunch of scholarships out there for students who were affected by the hurricanes.  A simple Yahoo! search for "hurricane katrina scholarship" yielded several legitimate ones when I checked.  Try www.fastweb.com, www.scholarship101.com, or check your high school (I recommend the library as well, but I don't know if there would be any books recent enough to list those specific kinds of scholarships... check the library anyway for other kinds, though).  You might want to get your FAFSA issue resolved first in the event that a scholarship organzation wants the results....

Pray to God for help and guidance. In this situation, because there is obviously nothing you can really do, put it in God's hands. I'll be praying for you!! I hope this helps. :)

Wow, that does not sound like an easy problem to deal with.  I suppose you have to do it as gently as possible.  I wish all the luck in doing that.

Whatever your reason is , it's not worth it. You will get caught in a lie and things will be worse. Tell the truth!

Good decision. I'm glad to hear that you are getting this resolved. The stress you are going through over this,is not good for you. Try to relax and go for a walk or get involved in something fun until your appt.

You're really not that low as you might think! Your problems can be fixed with better mobility. I thought you were going to say something about losing a limb, or becoming paralyzed or something! Getting a divorce and never seeing your kids.  Getting 3rd degree burns all over and recovering.  I think the military is a perfectly acceptable option for getting your life together.  We recently took in a young man who due to a variety of mishaps, had lost his drivers license, and then was kicked out of his mom's place by her new boyfriend.  He was sleeping in the park when my daughter (his h.s. friend) found out. He is in boot camp for the Navy as I write this.  He gets a stipend while he's in there, room and board and food, and he also will receive a $20,000 cash bonus in addition to the $8,000 he will have for school each year.  When he returns next month, my husband and I are going to help him find a small apt, and help him to find a decent running but cheap car.  (He's a Reserve)  So you've really got to choose your options better, or it sounds like you'll be stuck at mom's!

I think you should pray about it and ask god for help on what you should do. Take time and listen to what He has to say. The more you pray about it, the better outcome I think you will have.\nGood Luck and God Bless

Chin up.....buy yourself something nice.   Get out and meet ppl.  don't just dwell on something you can't change. Once when I was in simular situation my grandma told me "sometimes God must close a door to force us thru the one he has opened for us, and if he has a door opened for us then it has to be  a good one. we just can't see the future like he can." So just try and believe that that  there is a better day coming for you.

Don't screw them both. Take a time and think all over. There are going to be consequences whatever you do. How you can handle is you.
