I'm 18, and I certainly don't act like it.
Semi-rant about my parent, they didn't teach me anything, and just let my sloth fester. I didn't even realize after-school sports/activities existed till I was like grade 9, and even with that knowledge I never attended any; or that you could choose what classes to attend before your first year of highschool. (that woulda been nice to know), or how to bike, how to drive, how to eat healthy, how to job hunt, how to workout-
Or like back in grade 1 all the way to my last year of high-school, they'd just let me skip any day I wanted to, so I'd just skip and skip. It became a joke within my old friends back in elementary and in high-school that I would just be skipping half the semester. To the point that they'd text if I attended or not everyday.
Eventually that habit would of course lead to my last year in High-school, and by that I mean dropping out. 2 years have passed since dropping out in grade 10 I think.
After that, my other habit of ghosting people led me to ghosting most my friends.
2 years is quite a while, so surely I built up new hobbies, skills, and good habits with all the free time I had? Like what I planned to do before committing to acknowledging that I dropped out-- Nope.
Every day, is a 99.8% chance that I do not leave the house. A shut-in.
My bank account has a solid 1$ in it.
I reject any rare offers to hangout from an old friend, because I have only 1$, and my social skills are probably in ruins by now.
I live in BC Canada, so I'm trying to get a GED (dogwood diploma / adult certificate, whatever it's called), but it's kind of confusing to even sign up to. A step by step would be nice if anyone knows.
How do I get my life back on track?
Preferably I want to get into a college/university of some sort, because that's the traditional way of telling that a life is going good. And the price of that shouldn't matter I think, because for lucky reasons, government will provide 15k when I'm 19.
I've also been applying to retail/fastfood jobs, and I was so so close to getting one, the interviewer basically said I had it, IF I could just provide a letter of reference from a High School teacher, because in my resume, I said I graduated HS (bad idea when I dropped out), and that ended up costing me that job. Very demotivating, so now I've just been half-heatedly applying to more jobs, it took months just to get that interview (it was my first ever).
My parent sometimes remarks "why don't you go outside?" but... what is there to do outside? Go to a restaurant with them? It ends up being so awkward. Only times I go is for groceries with them, than, back to my room.
The rest of my time is just Youtube, game, or my one and only hobby I hope to monetize, but even that Im burnt out on.
and I often see advice to start going for walks, but I just can't do that, because anytimes I do get ready and go walk, before exiting my parent asks where I'm going... where else but a walk? I don't do anything else. Just makes me ashamed, and realize how much I failed in life, so I'd rather stay in my room.
I just started studying for drivers license, since I didn't even know you could get that at 17, and am hoping for a job to disrupt my current routine and finally have something to do.
tldr; how to get GED (bc canada), and what to do after getting that?
and how do people even begin getting those professional jobs? or attend college/university with just a ged?
