I’m a 16 year old junior Male going to a college preparatory school. I’ve been here since 7th grade and I knew from the start it just wasn’t for me, I barely scraped by a few classes in 7th grade but 8th grade is where shit really hit the fan. I failed 3 classes (which I take the blame for) and I had to repeat all 3 which I am still dragging to this day. My guardian isn’t letting me transfer since she thinks I’m trying to run away from my problems. I feel like I am falling behind and I am just on a terrible paths to the future. I’m not sure what I want to do after because I’m already certain I’m not getting into any good colleges. I don’t really have any specific skills or knowledge. All I really know anything about is sports. I was always confident I could make it to the end of high school until today. I’ve never had the thought of dropping out but now it lingers on my mind. My gpa was maybe a 1.5 the last time I checked but I rarely check my grades since it just makes me feel more like a failure. My mom isn’t letting kicking me out the second I turn 18 and I just feel like I’m on a lost path to the rest of my life. I do my homework, I don’t smoke or drink or hang with the wrong crowd. I just feel dumb, I feel like I need help. For anyone else who has been in a similar situation as me what do you do to turn your life around, if it’s even possible.
