Hey,
Well done firstly by going on here at 18, I was never the smartest lad with money either. However a fear of feeling a failure for our actions can lead us deeper down the path of deciet and lies that distances us from all who love us. Dont make this mistake at 18 I wish I confronted the problem I had instead of trying to face alone, it cost me a further 12 years of my life. If you feel you have a problem now think where it can be when you are older earning more, I will tell you, bigger problem. Tell your parents they will judge you and you will feel shame for a week, but learn from this, if you feel you would like to go to a GA meeting. I cannot give you anymore advice than this...whatever you do do not create a bigger mountain from a small issue by trying to gamble you way out.
