It's the process of learning these things that helps your brain develop to its full potential. Having ADD is a battle for me - even as a child I had to find stuff interesting in order to be good at it. People talk about computing and my brain shuts down. But look at it this way: having that education will get you a job that isn't boring and repetitive. You don't have to sit in a shop day after day until you go slightly mad and try to sell someone a hippopotamus made out of pond scum and your old shoes, and then they'll send you to a rest home and your family will come visit you and smile and hope you won't throw things at them and eat the flowers like last time
Also, members of the opposite sex are weird. If they sense you're needy, they run a mile. If you couldn't care less about them, they follow you like angry bees. Give yourself time, fubby. Get a tutor if you have to. What you really need is some life experience. Let yourself be a kid. This push for adulthood isn't always good. Your brain will only stop myelinating when you're twenty or twenty-one, anyway. There's no way this period of your life is in any way an indicator of what you'll be when you grow up. The best advice i ever received was, do what you love. Find whatever aptitude you have and work on that more than anything else. Cos that'll be your field. But you need to be able to problem-solve, to set out figures, count money or measure things or whatever. And good language skills are vital if you're going to get respect in the professional world, the job market. You need a goal, fubby. Even if it's something silly, like wanting to get your pilot's licence. Please no pet bears. I don't wanna feel responsible if you get eaten
