First time I’ve been feeling lonely this year, ik this is in stark contrast with the time of the year but I wasn’t able to perform in my school annual function (I really wanted to) and for some reason I have been feeling lonely since, what do you do when you feel like this?

I am a student and waste my parents money, i agree they are not expensive but they are not cheap either, i cant afford them with my allowance, and i don’t want to ask my parents because i think that they are already troubled enough

Actually I have been saving money but at such a slow rate that it would probably take me like 2 years

What instrument would you like to learn

I want to learn a bass guitar, in fact that’s why i took part in the function(concert) but i was let down spectacularly by my teachers (and somewhat my luck as well)

Edit: i realized that that the second part didn’t make sense My school has a bass guitar that no one uses

Hey, of course I don't know your financial capabilities and the height of your allowance but I encourage you to not give up on your intention to learn bass guitar.

I don't know where you're located and what possibilities you have to find used instruments but here in Germany you can find used bass guitars on a portal called "Kleinanzeigen" (the German equivalent to Craigslist I think) for very little money or for free. Just keep looking.

Also on our big instrument online shop "thomann.de" you find beginner bass guitars for less than 100 €. I am sure you find similarly cheap bass guitars where you live.

Long story short: Don't give up learning an instrument and have the courage to ask people around you to support you.
