although being a young person of reasonable intellegence i did not spend my school years wisely, i was more concerned about fighting and girls than i was education, now i am a bit older( 22) my adolesance is behind me and the mstakes i made are all too real.
i know i am more than capable of making a success of my life its just i find myself walking into a mental wall that will not allow me to pass, i am not happy doing as my friends do and just wasting my life smoking weed and kicking back all the time, i need to be stimulated mentally.
i was caught selling drugs in school and was swiftly kicked out, it was late in my final year so i have no qualifications. does anyone have any advice for me, please be as thourough as you can, and someone who has experienced what i am going through would be fantastic, i am a strong person when it comes to meeting people etc. and make myelf an important member of any group yet i just cant seem to make a change in my life, please help

I can't tell from your info whether you graduated from high school. If not, the first thing you need to do is get your GED. Next, you need to get some college credit. To start off, take some CLEP tests to get credit without being in class (www.istudysmart.com) You can get some of the core classes out of the way. Next, go to school (either at community college or state university). You need to at least try to get an associates degree, but bachelors would be better. Education is the key, and it's not too late. The better educated you are, the better chance you have at getting a good job. Getting caught selling drugs is going to be a problem when applying for schools and jobs. However, you must prove that you are no longer doing that and are serious about getting on with your life.

Dude, it's simple, easy & fun! Look, we've all made our stupid mistakes in life; over and over! I can definately attest! Anyways, you need to do the following. Kick back and think of what your God-given talents are. You have them --- dig real deep and pull them out. Perhaps it's persuasion with people, making friends, cooking, drawing, whatever. Experiment, nuture, invest time, and learn more about your talents and who's genes and chromosones they came from. Visit the library or go online and research the types of professions avilable that can utilize your talents. You will perform better in your endeavors due to your new found interests which will boost and drive you. It is best to get involve in things you have a passion and talent for because you will be more marketable, valuable, happy doing what you like to do instead of worker bee drudgery!

Find your inner motavation and go to school and get your GED. Make new friends who will lift you up. These type of friends that you have now are going nowhere with their future and you need more uplifting friends.
