Answer 1

:hug: Hey babe. Be encouraged.

Here's a piece of news for you: People will talk about you if you do good. They will talk about you if you do badly. So you cannot go about living life dreading of if and what people will say about you. You might as well do good for yourself.

If you are wanting to EVER get a job with the possibilities of upward mobility I highly encourage you to get into a community college as soon as you can. You are in a big city that has muchos resources so you just have to pursue them, I know they're out there for you.

I hope you find something to ground yourself in that will enhance your self-esteem. It is very necessary to be confident in yourself before you step out there. Otherwise you might find it a less bearable to stick through the difficult times.

Answer 2

You can start by getting your GED. Do not wait, go tommorow to a community college near you. Go to administration and ask about their GED programs. LACC has one (Los Angeles City College) Once an employer knows that you are also in school earning you HS diploma equivalent, they will at last see you are trying and that you can be responsible. But DO NOT wait, time is very important, the older you get, the more of a loser employers will think you are if you haven't done this for yourself. (And I'm not being mean, just real)

Answer 3

First of all I would say figure out what you have a passion for in life and then figure out a career choice from there. There is nothing worse than working at a job you don't like just to pay the bills.

Go to the library or book store first. Find your passion and then learn as much as you can about it. Learn the stuff because you want to and not because you have to. Once you have a basic knowledge don't stop there. You may have to start off for little or no money in the field you choose, but go for it. Nothing will beat experience.

Find something you like, educate yourself in it, then immerse yourself in it. Good luck!

I would recommend you get your GED, then talk to a military recruiter. Throughout history it's been the place to get a fresh start and set young people's lives straight. Nowhere else can you train for free (with quality training) and get a decent paycheck. Remember too, not every job is infantry ground soldier. Join the Navy as an air traffic controller for example, if war scares you.

Answer 5

get your GED and get an associates at a community college then transfer to a university, go into a nursing program or become a physicians assistants. there are lots of options out htere for u none u can accomplish without a proper education

Good Luck!

Answer 6

First thing you can do is go out and get your G.E.D. That is your best option right now. After you get that, go out and look for a job. Also, figure out what kind of career you would like to do, and go to college and get your degree! There are many options out there, you just have to be willing to take advantage of them.

Answer 7

Hi

You are very young and you can do any think that you want.

You can't please every one, them you need please your self.
think about what you really like and if you need more education to do it, just came back to school.

your best revenge for any one that make fun of your self is be successful! It's OK to be scared, just don't let that stop you for doing thinks, just remember that no body is going to live your life for you and what you do is your responsibility.

Good lock

Believe on God and love your self

Answer 8

I agree with the other answers so far, but also go see a counselor. There are so many free counselors available if you search online for gay and lesbian support.
