Ok, you've got a lot going on at the mo, and you're 16 - I can understand you not wanting to put effort in. But am going to sound so mumsy here, but it would be the smart choice if you want to turn your life around. It's ok, just because you've failed classes at school doesn't mean you can't do night school or anything to get the grades so please don't give up completely. I did badly at school too, but after a few years of getting nowhere, I did night classes. If thicko me can do it, you can walk it!

You say you're unhappy with your life, and I know it doesn't feel like it, but it is possible to start slowly building a better future. You should try and think what's ahead too. I remember when I was 16 and the future seemed so far away and no real issue, so I understand!

But anything could happen in the future - you could have a child (who you would have to support), fall hopelessly in love and want to be a better person for them, want to travel the world (it's an amazing world), and one day you'll sadly have to realise that your parents and their home will not last forever as they will die of old age, and you'll have to stand on your own two feet - feed, clothe yourself and pay for a roof over your head. To do that the best way is to get grades. You're not stupid, I can tell by your writing, but I think you have so much going on right now that you're ignoring the very real chance that you can make a better life for yourself. One step at a time.

And yeah, nobody likes to work, and esp when you're young as the young start at the bottom of the ladder and get all the rubbish jobs. But this is the norm, the way of the world and with effort it doesn't last forever. If you find a career in something you like doing, for example, I am not so smart but I loved photography and managed to make a living out of it for many years - a decent living. Basically I got paid to do something I liked to do - there must be something that you like to do? That's the way to go about it...
