Just to reassure you, I left home at 17, managed to graduate, while living on my own. It was not easy. But I stayed on my feet, somehow. I went to university one year, then decided on an alternative lifestyle, which was really not a good option! I was making silver jewelry and playing music in bars. I finally went back to a community college, cost was $50 a semester. I got straight As and an entrance scholarship to a major Canadian university, I was 26.
But the big change was God saved me, and that really turned my life around. I got my teaching certificate, finished my degree, got married and had children

You already know God, nothing is more important than that! Hang onto to him, and don't be afraid to get help from your church or other charities. You can do this!

My God! Yes! Getting AT LEAST a GED should be the first thing you do before you spend $5 on anything else.
It is almost unfathomable that you don't already have one. Truly, it is the height of foolishness and recklessness not to get some education in today's world. You will honestly make nothing of yourself if you cannot put yourself into a position to make (at the very minimum) $50,000 a year by the time you are 30. And you cannot get that education if you have less than a high school equivalency to build upon.

I say go for it. Any chance you can get any financial help for college? Talk that over with your counselor if possible. Joining the military would be cool, you get to learn more about yourself you never knew you you knew and you may be a better person beaus of it. Plus it would help out your college situation much more.
I say go for it if you feel you really need a change in your life, God will be there and just make sure you don't part from him.

GED might be easier than you think. If you don't have much trouble with reading, writing, and arith... math, just go in and take it. Hubby studied and worried for months, only to find out he never had to study at all. Easy for him. There was a break midway through the test and he was out having a smoke. He heard a couple of woman saying how hard it was, and it surprised him.
And, if you don't pass? Then you know studying is involved. (I'm lazy. If I don't have to study, I don't want to. lol)

All right. Enough time in the military definitely means they pay for college. But that woman thing has a few bad side effects:
1. Lots of abuse for women -- both physical and sexual.
2. Lots of temptation. Not just the usual temptation. The male/female ratio is such that almost every guy will try and hit on you.
3. Falling in love and marrying. That's where my nephew met his wife. Marriage is wonderful, but pregnancy is when the military says bye-bye. Not enough time, and no college. They were married a couple of decades before they were able to get her through college too. And, truthfully, she probably never would have gone, but he has Parkinson's, so they're planning for when he won't be able to work. (She just became a nurse.) They're happy together, but if your goal really is a college degree, after service, I want to warn you why it's a bit tougher to be a woman and do that.
On the positive side, free healthcare through the VA for life. Oh, and help with mortgages too. (Ah, yes. How to freak out a 15 year old. Start talking about 30-year mortgages. lol)

You don't freak me out.
If I am able to get into the AF they treat women the best (says peeps in the military)
Yeah. They'll see me without makeup and run away screaming and crying.
People don't fall in love with Natania. Even if they did Natania does not fall in love with people. I can't trust people.
Lol nah you're fine

Dad told me that when I graduated, I should start at $20,000 a year. He really didn't get that teaching thing. Teachers in my county were making $8,500 a year.
I made $20 a week the summer I graduated. (Had to get help with the $70 rent.) But, my first job was $8,500 a year. I didn't make $20,000 until I was in my 40s.
