IS THIS BEING IN POVERTY PLEASE HELP? ALSO REGARDS SCHOOL.?

I'm 18 and I'm poor as hell. I don't want to nag or want pitty from you, so hear it goes. My parents never gave me money for anything! No joke, for shoes or anything. I remember waking my *** up early in the morning and walking in sandals to school when it was extremely cold and the grass was wet. Like I said I had to work for everything that I needed, which I am know, I buy my clothes, personal stuff you know. So I don't expect my parents to help me out on anything, they make very little money. Know to the point, I need a car. I can't afford a used car, because I don't have the money straight up front for it. I'm was thinking of buying a new car, I'm planning to work every day straight 8hrs and after that go straight to school for like 4hrs, (DON'T ASK ABOUT, It'S LATE) I am. SO do you think that if I made some money and still went to school that they would take my financial, or any other money away from me since I'm working????? I'm a hardworking person, and $14,000 or somewhere around that for a year is so little money, that's considered living below poverty. And my parents don't make that much either, somewhere around my income or less, don't know right know, just an estimation. I need that car, I will pay it off quickly because all my money that I make will be going towards that car that I will need for college and for work and it should last me for several years. CAN YOU PLEASE ANSWER those questions regarding my financial status?
