I think there is no chance for you. You are a loser plain and simple, and you will always be a loser, and dont ever let anyone tell you differently!

I would have to say currently in the condition your body is currently in, you probably wouldn't qualify.
However...
If you note the ages of the candidates chosen (in the second link) they are all in their late 30's early 40's. They all have some sort of specialized training for whichever job they need to do (such as pilot skills and medical).
I'm sure if you work at it starting today, give up the recreational drugs, continue with schooling (you may wish to change your program to something more in the science department) and excercise yourself rigorously (most of the candidates were also highly active, like marathon runners and mountain climbers), I'm sure it wouldn't be impossible to achieve your dream of becoming an astronaut within the 10 to 15 years.
Nothing is impossible, only improbable.

Probably not, I would rccomend getting in a Rocketscience/ballistics PHD first... Since thats not happening I suggest being an auto mechanic. Seems like you go to space enough as it is... ("recreational drugs")
