Buttercup, I've been thinking of what to write for a while. You are young and have your unscripted future ahead of you-- think of this as a reality check. My comments are variations of things I've told my own sons.
Your life will never change if YOU don't change.
Take responsibility for your own welfare. I don't feel sorry for you because you are the one making these decisions. Fights don't "just happen", and everything going wrong is not someone else's fault.
You want a good paying job? Not likely unless you get your homework done & get your diploma. Even low-paying jobs want HS grads.
How you treat your body is your right - who to hire is the right of every employer.
GOOD JOBS go to those who have skills, training, and who PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS.
Life is not a piece of cake, we ALL go through hardships. Some get resolved quickly, others go on for years. Take advantage of the opportunities you have now - including working with a counselor at school or otherwise. They can help you understand how you got where you are, and offer tools to help you with your difficulties. Only you can get yourself onto another path.
