I don’t know what I’m going

I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself.
I’m almost 17 and I’m failing high school. I am behind about 90-100 credits. There is no way possible that I can recover all the credits in time for graduation next year.
I want to become a tattoo artist and I’m really good at it. I’ve taken my portfolio into different shops and almost all of them offered me an apprentice ship on the spot.
But I feel like I can’t do it.
My living situation isn’t the best at the moment & I really just want to move by the time I turn 18. I’m not stupid I know I just can’t pick up and leave the day I turn 18. I started saving up and I’ve called a couple different apartment complexes and I found one that will let me start the screening process a month or 2 before I turn 18. I need a job & an apprentice ship close to the apartment of course but I just don’t know if I can do it. Things seem really promising right now but all my life I’ve been set up to fail.
I don’t want to be stuck here in this s*** town for the rest of my life working at a fast food joint.

  • You’re young. Don’t stress yourself so much. Just take it one thing at a time and you can’t fail. Try your hardest in school because I promise just getting your diploma takes you a long way. And then try for college if you can. Don’t move out just yet. Get a nice job and try for the apprenticeship around your work schedule. When you feel like you’ve been doing good with work, and saving up money, even building credit a little then go for an apartment. But always try to move one step at a time so that if something doesn’t work out, you don’t come crashing back to nothing. I hope I’ve helped a little. 😀 Good luck out there!

  • Easiest way is to get a GED. Go take a test and they hand you a GED!

  • You have to study for a GED. You have absolutely no idea how badly I am at any type of subject. I use to be a straight A student in rolled in honors program. But now I’m just a stupid kid with stupid unrealistic dreams.
