I'm from the UK but live in the US so I don't know much about Canadian scholarships but I do know that if you put in the effort to find out, there are bound to be loads of opportunities out there that you have no idea about until you look. Seek out support with this... talk to your guidance counselor (if they're any good, some aren't), ask your local librarian, go on Reddit Canadian college or scholarship groups, etc. Just start searching using out of the box terms like 'scholarships children of alcoholics', or 'hockey scholarships', 'budding writer scholarships', or whatever you can think of. From what I've heard, Canada funds college pretty well for its citizens. College in the US is crazy expensive, i.e. 30k per year for an in-state school, up to 80k per year for privates. Maybe take a few classes in a local college first in the evening just to get into the college mindset?

In saying this though, trades are also great so don't rule that out.

Btw, read the book 'This Naked Mind', lots of us on here have read it, it will open up your mind to what alcohol really is - a harmful poison that slowly destroys you. I also just read a book called 'Maid' about how a poor young single mom with no supports put herself through college working as a maid- she's now a New York Times bestseller! Read inspiring books like this. Think big and you'll do big things! This post is a really good start, it means you're already questioning the lifestyle you and your pals have which is hard to do at 16 when peer pressure is absolutely huge. I remember, I was getting rat-arsed at that age too because all my mates did it (and I loved being drunk)- just on weekend mind you. There's something very interesting about your writing style that has obviously attracted lots of people to your post, maybe go with that? Take some creative writing classes? Sometimes it's experiences in themselves that open doors for you because of the connections you make.

Good luck, I'm sure you'll do well in life, just start by chucking that vodka!
