You don't need anyones help and there isn't anything anyone could give you anyway.
You already have everything you need for living. Who cares what the culture says is 'good' or 'bad' or 'perfect' or 'success' or 'talent'. Those are just ridiculous ever changing ideals that don't mean anything.
You contain your own answers. How can another living organism tell you how to live when they are using the same tools you have to figure it out?
Drop all that crap and live.

Sorry, Charley. This is more of a psychology question than one deserving of philosophical treatment.
You are focusing on all the things that are going wrong in your life. Begin to focus on things you love and your life will be transformed by and with your thoughts!
1. You're not broke, you're 17. Ninety-nine percent of seventeen year-olds have no money.
2. "Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right." So said Henry Ford.
3. Everybody has talent. Maybe you just haven't discovered yours yet.
4. No live? If you're alive, you have a life. Make the best of it.
5. Bad acne? So what. I can recommend products for that.
6. No one starts out with friends. But if you look on the bright side of life, you'll develop friends.
7. Many people are short and skinny. There's nothing wrong with that. Some women say, good things come in small packages.
Look on the the positive side, Dude!

Being 17 only lasts a year, being useful lasts a lifetime. Find a way of helping people who have less than you do. If you don't know any, go out and find them and that way you will find what happens in the world. Friends come along, acne goes, life gets more interesting as you get older. One thing for sure, you're never going to get a life sitting in front of a computer complaining about your misfortune to a bunch of strangers! As for making money, learn to play the guitar and start performing for money. Form a band, become famous. Or not. It's up to you what you choose to do with your life, but being useful to others is a good start. Good luck.

Sound very much like me at 17.
It will all klick into place for you when the time is right.
(1) Money will come with time and work
(2) What you learn in school is little use in the real world - Algebra!!!
(3) You have no talents yet, you will develop them
(4) You wont have a life at 47 either (your future wife will see to that)
(5) Acne, Its not terminal nor lasts for life
(6) Value the ones you have
(7) Im shorter at 47 than I was at 17 and the skin has turned to fat - want a swap.

Get a hobby! Find something that makes you happy! I personally love to play the guitar... You can find one cheap to start off, and then as you progress invest more money into your equipment.
1.) Musicians get an extra 10 points tacked onto the charisma scale (no matter how bad you look)
2.) It'll get you out of the house!
Believe it or not but some people have it worse than you appearance wise, (I'm sure). Well, I don't know.. cause I can't see you. Anyway, it could be worse.... You could lose all your hair at 18... I'm 26 and my avatar isn't bald because I think it looks cool. lol
Apply for a job at subway or something! The trick is to put yourself in an environment that's more positive then the one you think you’re stuck in.
Good luck!

Hello,
(ANS) In your posting (question) its clear that you are focusing completely on ALL the negative things about yourself and your life. OK! so you are feeling down, perhaps even depressed, you feel unhappy, sad, cannot see the point in anything right now.
However, I would challenge you here in my answer to you. I know that what your saying and what you are feeling are NOT the whole story, not the whole picture.
A) No.1 STOP comparing yourself to other people you see around you!!
B) STOP assuming & believing you have nothing to offer anyone!!
C) Sit down and I ask you to write down just x5 things that are good about yourself or x5 things you like?
No.1 you can change this by look for some kind of paid employment?
No.2 Thats NOT true and you have to stop thinking of yourself as a failure, your NOT a failure. YES! you may need some help & support but your NOT a failure.
No.3 That's totally untrue and I don't believe you have no talents, we each have a talent or skill at something? you may not know what it is right now, you have yet to discover your real gifts or talents.
No.4 you are alive & breathing therefore you have a life, yes! OK it may not be how you want your life to be ideally but you have a life.
No.5 Acne is a skin condition that can be successfully treated by doctors, go and see what a doctor can do for your acne.
No.6 If you don't like & love yourself, if you don't accept yourself for who you are then yes! you are going to be pushing other people away from you. However, if you like & love yourself, if you accept yourself then other people will be drawn towards you without much difficulty. You have to love yourself first though.
No.7 So what I'm only 5ft 6in myself and I don't have a problem with my height , so OK! I don't fit the male stereo type of 6ft tall and a x6 pack. So what I just am glad to be myself. Skinny, well if thats how you are naturally so what its only a problem if you focus on it in a negative way. Only then does it become a problem. Its how you feel about yourself as you are, NOT as you think others think you should be.
**You need some help & support to put these issues into a wider context, to see all of this is caused by your own negative beliefs & negative thinking. We do have the power to change, to change our beliefs about ourselves and to change how we feel about ourselves. Take each negative belief and change it into a positive one, an opposite one and start to believe these as true and things will change.

You are intelligent, as you are able to recite your problems and challenges.
You are wise, as you believe some of your problems could perhaps be helped by others.
A good call to make is to 1-800-232-6459 http://www.family.org as they provide licensed counseling and local referals.
Tell your story, even reading your list. Emphasize that you would appreciate a) medical care for your acne b) job and career counseling, testing, and training c) you are presently unable to finance any of these. This is a reason why financial needs tests exist, to help people who would do better if they knew better.
Everyone has talents, and there are employers who will hire, based on what you can do, not on how you presently look.
Also, a high school diploma is an asset. Talk with your school counselor, parents, and a trusted religious minister about ways to graduate.
Some or all of these will have positive suggestions. Keep a positive attitude.
Also 1-800-525-LOVE http://www.klove.com is another source of licensed counseling. Be sure to call them; they tend to talk longer :)
Don't judge yourself too harshly, don't condemn yourself, and continue to make the calls, the appointments, including with a local government job counseling program. That is why those people are there, to help you, it's their job. Keep telling your story, and list your problems you'd like help with. Being short of stature is something you have in common with Christ Jesus, Saint Francis of Assisi, and Mother Teresa. Being skinny is actually considered a health asset. You can build a life, and a focus for now ought be working on a program with your parents and a high school counselor, which will earn you your high school diploma. That will increase your earning potential.
Do consider reading a little in the Bible, such as Psalms and Saint John's Gospel.
God bless you,
j.

Please don't drop out of school you will feel so much better about yourself if you finish school.... get a job if you are self conscious about your acne get a job doing something with computers where there is not much contact with people.... every one is talented at something just try new things all the time! You don't need many friends just some people who care about you and you can talk to...... I am sure you will meet lots of friends at college! As a high school student I do have hard times and don't think I can deal with school anymore I just need someone to tell me that they know I can do it!
I wish you the best!
I know you can do it!

Your only challenge right now, is to find what you are good at; as no soul is born without a gift, or unique talent on this planet. Your unique talent would be, one that gives you most joy!
Once you get this in your heart and diligently start hunting for your special gift, in time you'd realize that you are really a gift to others in your life, as well. Don't worry, late teens are especially testing for all, as we are all challenged to figure out who we are and what do we want, out the gift of life that we have.
