My student loans are destroying me. I need help what do I do.?

I am in dire need of guidance and information pertaining to my rights and options as a student loan borrower. Is there istance for students with loans to help repay them? I am yet to finish my schooling but I am truly afraid to continue my education. My loan amount keeps growing and my parents are struggling just to take care of themselves. I come from a struggling family and am the first to pursue a college education, but my foresight and basic calculations on my budgeting have granted me no applicable routes of repayment. Even with consolidation my minimum monthly payments will be over five hundred a month and thats more than half my current monthly income working full time. My loans are causing me a great sense of helplessness and I fear that they dictate my life entirely, I wish to become a far greater person and to help my family. I really need help and guidance with this. Thank you.
