All of teachers praised my writing in highschool. One teacher offered to introduce me to a friend of hers in publishing. I just got so depressed and lost my motivation. I wish I had been on medicine back than.

High School teachers get so much horrifically bad writing thrown in their face that this is faint praise at best. You are living in an age where publishing can be done by any hack writer out there via Amazon and you haven't done it yet. You have no future in writing unless you write.

Your parents sound kind of lovely OP, but that doesn't excuse pissing away the free ride you've been lucky enough to be given. Grow weed instead of just smoking it all the time, then sell it to the teenaged children of other lovely upper middle class shitbags like your parents. That way you don't have to be a cop and you can nail all the jailbait you like. You will never break into the film industry, abandon that dim hope right now but write a screenplay about your experiences as a dealer anyway as a hobby.

The lease is locked in for seven months, so me leaving the apartment, would just be a waste of money. I feel like they kind of owe me, because they forced me to go to college right out of high school when I wasn't ready, and that's what led to my first breakdown, and mental illness issues. I also gained a lot of weight from stress eating and depression. I was always in pretty good shape before than, but after that, my body never recovered.

I have a question, where are you? You are obviously self sponsoring for the police academy, because typically police departments hire new people, then pay for them to go. Also, at least places I'm familiar with (namely California), you would automatically be disqualified because of your history of mental illness and breakdown, not to mention recent drug history.

I'm going to give you advice here that isn't necessarily good, but were I in your situation this is what I might do. Do a little research (like you should have done before blowing your parents money) and dig up police department hiring policies, which will state explicitly that history of mental illness disqualifies you.

I would then be semi-honest with your parents. I'd tell them I stopped going when I discovered that I couldn't actually get a job anywhere as a police officer when I finished (show them what you found). I'd then tell them that your anxiety and depression, which you clearly suffer from, kept you from telling them right away.

This gives you the opportunity to do the right thing, and soften the blow to your parents. I'd follow that up with mental health treatment. If your anxiety is so bad it keeps you from going to class, you need to be in ongoing treatment.

As far as your future goes, you're still loving young... take it from an old man. If you want to work in law enforcement consider things that are related, but isn't being a cop; however, for now, don't loving worry about it. Tell your parents and seek help.

It's a fake post, the only way someone like this could get into a police academy is if, like the Police Academy movies, they dropped all standards and let any rear end in a top hat wander in off the street. They want pro-active, community oriented people, not reluctant people pushed out of the nest.

The thing is that Police Academies are a little less than ethical when it comes to self sponsorship. It's not like real college, it more like a trade school. If you show up and want to "self sponsor," aka give them $21k, they'll take you.

Remember with some exceptions, police academies do not guarantee you a job, or even an interview. They just award what amounts to the certification you need to be a peace officer in your state.

So, while it still could be a fake post, it's not outside of the realm of possibility that it's real.

*edit

And there are few restrictions on that certification. It's the individual police departments that set disqualifications for hire.

So technically, unless you're a convicted felon, you can be a crazy net job who thinks he's the reincarnation of JesusHitler with tattooed Swastikas on his face who blogs about murdering minorities for white sins, and still get certified to be a peace officer.

It's just when you show up to interview and do your background, even the LAPD would disqualify you.

That makes sense, and I could easily believe academies would do that, especially if they had a bunch of open spots, though his parents only paid $2100, which, after some googling, is in the normal range for block 1 at police academies.

Yeah, of all the things that cops do that I don't agree with, catching drunk drivers is really, really not one of them. Unless he was doing lovely things like handing out DUIs to people who were sleeping one off in the back seat to avoid driving drunk in the first place.

I wasn't trying to be a dick, but you should know there are so many constitutional exceptions and other bullshit that getting a DUI doesn't necessarily have anything to do with drunk driving or posing any kind of danger any more, they just generate a ton of revenue. Guy was like #2 in a very large city so he's either prescient or a ton of them had to be "yep you have car keys and blew .09, you're going to jail"

Also think of it this way, if a cop was good at their job what are the odds they'd be stuck doing traffic?

anyway back to thread. I didn't notice OP got probated, that's unfortunate, I was enjoying this thread.

Some academies are part of the agency itself. Such as the case with Denver PD. Probably half of the police academies out there are part of a community college, for example, my local community college has an LEO program.

Hey this is the OP from the Police Academy thread. Can you please update my thread for me. As of today I have still not told my parents about me dropping out. I found out the girl I was in love with is pregnant, but it's probably not mine. I have cut off contact with her, but it does hurt. I have decided to just live my life one day at a time. I am not like other people. I will probably never have the wife and two kids, with a dog, and white picket fence. At this point I really don't care if I live and die in my parents house, as long I can say I enjoyed life. And a lot of people were asking for a description. Looks and personality wise I see myself as a black version of James Franco, Jonah Hill, and Donald Glover, with a dash of Quentin Tarantino. I have decided that I want to work in film and I will die penniless and alone before I pursue another career

I guess I associate this particular brand of loser with white guys. The "reality" is jarring, and it's ruining my immersion.
