Ok this is my story about my current life. I'm 15 and i should be in tenth grade right now but i failed like all my class's in 9 th so i didn't go up and soon i should in 11th and i don't want to be a 9th grade again. my problem is i can't seem to learn at all so mostly i play online games because its mostly my only thing i learn something. yes i do not show up to school daily and feel like dropping out or running alway but i know that won't solve anything but cause more trouble. i once felt like joining a gang know as f13 around Los Angeles cause they are mostly are over my school which is Huntington park high school but i need tips on how or what i can do because i feel that i can get a computer degree because i'm really good with computers.
I'm so lost

It's Ok
First take a breath.
You have clearly decided that you want something more out of life and you haven't given up. Thats step one.
You need to understand that you can do anything that you want to do, but it is going to take work.
I dropped out of high school in 9th because I was pregnant grade and today have a good job, a college degree which was paid for on scholarship, I am pursuing a Masters degree. If I did it you can too.
First you need to find someone at the school who can help you. Help not save. Talk to that person honestly about how you feel and what you want. There has to be someone there that is willing to help. Tell them your fears. Tell them you want to go to college for computers and ask them if they can help you come up with a plan of action for what you need to do. And then you do it. With everything you have in you, you apply yourself to the goals and follow through.
Make sure you pass all your classes this year. It's not to late. Talk to your teachers, explain that you are serious about your future and need help. They are there to help you.
Then go to summer school. Look for any opportunity to make up classes.
Also, get involved in school activities. This will help you feel like you are apart of the community. And tell people what you want. Keep talking about it to anyone who will listen. Trust me, there is always a way.
