What should I do with my life.....??

Question

Its my third year in High School and I have 9 credits, so yeah I'm a sophomore again. I am 16 and I have been partying for the past 3 years of my life and I no longer want this lifestyle. I am through everything and just want a good future, and I was wondering if there is any reason for me to stay in high school, I have a GPA of .5 with again, 9 credits. I really will do anything to try and get a good future, so please help me....

If there is no other way possible of getting my GPA high enough to get me into at least Community College then can someone please tell me of a job that I could possibly do to get good money, I don't care what it takes.

The only thing I could come up with is army or navy... i talked to my girlfriend about all this and she just burst out in tears so I really don't have anyone else to ask... I have a single parent and my mom is 56 and she doesn't have a clue about the education system and how it works (please dont ask why)...

please help me find something...

Answer 1

WOW! You give us a plate full of issues to deal with.

may I suggest you to do the followings?

* go and see your school adviser and then the Principal: ask them to give you heart-to-heart advice as if they would do for their children; as to "HOW can I change my working habit now, in order to salvage the rest of my life?" etc.

* prepare to study harder, even with real tutor (s): ask your church, mentor, Godfather etc. to help you to pull through this, since only 2 more years of hard work, your life will turn around for the better.

* take Summer school

* it is not a bad thing if you study and if you must, take the GED exam, for community college. After 2 years there, you can transfer to university for even a brighter future (with a bachelor degree).

But most of all, please keep yourself clean from substances, whether alcohol or drug.

Life expectancy is approaching 80 years now on the average; a much longer life ahead of you. It is never too late to change.

G'Luck!

Answer 2

i understand i went throught the same thing i had drinking problems tho...   :( i talked to anyone i could about it i got it up.

Study STUDY study STUDY try to get straight a's and u get some credits also go for perfect attendance.

Btw, if you school does not give good credits then i advise switching schools that is the only way on that soz

Answer 3

good to know you got all your partying out of the way

i would quit school and get your g.e.d.   (that is so important!! diploma equivalent) and then you should maybe consider a trade school. what do you like doing?

no offense but if you can't focus on your school work now for whatever reason i doubt you are ready for the military. from what i understand they're pretty tough so you should think about doing something you would enjoy and something that can make you a decent living. maybe a fitness trainer at a gym, a mechanic or a saleman. you can earn a good living and don't need a "higher education"

Answer 4

I would suggest going into the military.

Im an A student and I want to join the Air Force just to get away from my little hometown
