Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

What would you tell someone in the same place as you? You need to do well in school and at least get some college. I suggest studying and getting through high school. Once you graduate, you can go to a community college and actually take classes that interest you. (like psych classes). There are probably certificates. I know someone who got a bachelors in health sciences, and was hired by a school district to counsel troubled students. I strongly suggest showing more interest in school though.
