Looks fine to me, just try to use capital letters wherever appropriate and send it off.

O.M.G....you've just given your C.V. to everyone on the internet, I hope for your sake that the details are not real...
This C.V. is not suitable at all, you cant put yourself down in a C.V. as it wastes the reader's time and will not get you farther than the nearest bin.
You give your name and age..nothing else, ethnic origin is unnecessary, it shouts..."if you don't employ me I'll use the race card"
Cut out the schools that you attended and give only your highest qualifications....never list grades unless they are A starred.
Do not list the majority of what you say are your minor skills, say that you have recovered from depression...or whatever else you've recovered from but no one is interested in one day's work that you did in the nineties.
This C.V. screams, "I feel sorry for myself, I'm wasting your time, I want to be told that I'm worthless, I have a low opinion of you mr/mrs recruiter, because no one with any judgement will take me on"
Sorry, I can see you feel low, but you need to approach this C.V. from a more positive angle...you are obviously intelligent and literate, so make more of this, you need to sound optimistic and self - aware even if you don't have great qualications or skills

Right. First you must never post all your life details like this on a forum like Y! Answers!!
Secondly, you need to pick one of the numerous things you've done and listed above and focus on it.
Begin to search for jobs in that area. If you enjoy working at a massage parlor or hair salon then start to search for work in that area and try to do a bit of 'touch up' on your cv.
You can also read up on that area of interest so you know current matters on it.
It is NEVER too late to start over because I've had problems over the years too and at 36 I am just beginning to start over as an HR officer and hope I can do some online courses or short courses to improve my knowledge because I am working towards being an HR Manager before I get too old to work at all.
Good luck
