Am I screwed for college/life?

One doesn't need to go to college to get a modest-paying job in something they like.

Of course, this whole "woe is me, I'm only 16 and screwed for life" attitude definitely won't help.

A 3.2 GPA isn't bad at all. Besides, you have this year and next year to start joining stuff and getting involved, and there's always volunteer work, which looks great on applications for jobs and colleges.

your young.after highschool id take a year or 2 break find a job relax and look into things.music industry is always taking anything fresh and game indusies sound like a dream with all the different things they do in the job it self. but dont keep negative keep your head high

You'll be just fine. I didn't have any extra curriculars and my GPA average when I graduated was about yours and I got into colleges just fine. Not every college is super stricts about your GPA being 4.0 or you needing to have done a bunch of things. And if you don't know what u wanna do, u can still go to a college and take the clases everyone has to take regardless or what your getting your degree in. Or you could just work for a year after high school and try and find yourself and decide what u wanna go for. I wish I did that.

You still have a bit of time, do something while you still can! :P

give up on life.

Try being nearly 19, unemployed, friendless, no skills, a natural tendancy to nihilism and apathy, inability to be happy and borderline AVDP..

THATS screwed for life.

Not really. You're 19.

This "I'm a teenager and I'm totally screwed for the rest of my life" mindset is silly.

Find your passion.

Go to a community college to start with and apply yourself.

You will be fine if you work hard and give it all you got.

Well i mean i dont feel nearly 19. I have the mindset and outlook of a 45 year old. Plus i have no ambition, dream, drive etc etc And quite frankly, i know it offends some people, if a bus hit me tomorrow i wouldnt really care.

Hi. Im 16

martinX3X

no you are not screwed for life

GPA doesn't mean anything in high school unless you want FAFSA or some type of scholarship.

Community college doesn't even look at GPA.

When it comes to the real world, you're better off doing something you're good at instead of doing something you like doing.

I dont know if i want to bother anyone really or if i need it much. I had two counselling sessions but i just didnt really care much so i stopped it.

3.2???? are you serious. you can get into a whole bunch of schools with that. even if you never did any extacurricular activities

Let me make a suggestion-- go to a community college, first. You just need a high school diploma, you can take proficiency tests to see what your strengths are, and then after you complete your general education, you can transfer to a university and complete a Bachelor's degree (and beyond-- Master's and Ph.D. included). A community college can turn even the worst high school student into a full-fledged academic and is a great answer if you feel you have no future in a job or school after high school.

As an example, I graduated from high school with only a 2.1 GPA. I never took the SAT. So, when I graduated from high school, I started at community college and got an Associate of Arts degree in Social and Behavioral Sciences. I later transferred to a university and got a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics.

I'm now about a month away from finishing my Master of Science in Mathematics.

Go for it!

Unless this is your senior year, you can always strive for improvement the following year. Grades in grade 12 are the main focus of potential colleges. But it would always help to start early.
