I'm a 27 year old asian male and I've had bad dental hygiene since I was a kid. I migrated to America in 1986 because of the Vietnam War. My family used to be very poor in Cambodia and didn't know much about the city life. Well, I grew up in america and I wasn't pushed by my parents much to brush my teeth. I started drinking soda since I was 4 or so and now I'm starting to see the outcome. I didn't have a very good childhood and was beaten a lot as a kid because I used to be out a lot at friends house playing video games and such because my family couldn't afford to buy video games for me. As I grew older I started getting into smoking weed, but I was never addicted to weed. I never really liked it. But I did started getting addicted to XTC and now my life is basically over because of it. I probably only have 60% of my teeth left due to grinding my teeth while being on XTC and whatever of my teeth that's left is decaying away as I'm typing this. My parents is on SSI and I wish I can get myself a job to help my parents but I can't. It's so hard to smile because I barely have any teeth left and it's very hard to find a job when you can't smile and show that you have confidence to your future employer. I'm really feeling hopeless about myself and I'm only 27. If anybody can help me any help I would appreciate it so much.......sometimes I just wanna burst out and cry. my life is so sad.......;(
