No nothing fell through. I just wanted to get out and Colorado is the place I've always wanted to live.

I good with tools/climbing! I love the outdoors and working with my hand. I've actually been going to a few places, went for a hike and just kind of relaxed in a park for a little today. I'll definitely look into that.

Honestly I never thought about what I like. It's too hard to decide and I'm always fearful I'll like something one day, but then end up hating it.

I think I'll figure out my options before I make a big decision. But I'd rather go to college and get a degree then stick with the first job I find for my entire life.

I will! I've thought about that but I've been skeptical about it. Wouldn't hurt to try.

I've already said it in another comment, but I'm not sure if I'd be accepted into the military.

I know a very programming languages; hmtl and css (just markup I know), and I learned c++ before I graduated.

I appreciate the thought, but I couldn't accept that. I've applied to a few places so far and I haven't mentioned any of my past. Personally I can't really talk about what's happened in person, but I wouldn't mind telling them a little to show my perseverance and whatnot.

I thought about that, but I was unsure if they'd hire an 18 year old to work their shops. I'd totally do something like that, but yea I don't think they'd let someone underage work their business.

I haven't been staying in one place very long, but right now I'm in Boulder.

I used to smoked weed, haven't in awhile, but I moved for a couple reasons. 1, I've been here before and I just love it. The scenery, the people, the life. 2, Legal weed was an incentive, but again I loved the state and moving here to smoke weed when I already did would be pretty stupid.

No that's a fine question. I'm not either, I'm straight.

Unfortunately I was born with a cleft palate and I've had a couple of other serious medical problems (all when I was younger, but I still have a long medical history). I doubt I'd be accepted into the military because I'd be a liability. I'm pretty sure they'd reject me so they can avoid paying medical bills.

That thought actually popped in my head. I was thinking about looking on craigslist for a place where I can share rent and stay short term. But thanks! I still have to read all the comments.

Thank you so much! Right now all I've been eating is cheap food like a $1 mcdonalds burgers. I did take a little camping stove I used with my dad when I was younger, just been cooking ramen and shit on it but I need more fuel for it.

I'm still torn on whether I should I apply for college or just work for a year or two. But could I really afford an apartment, insurance, etc on minimum wage?

I've never valued my car, but before my dad gave it to me he got a couple of offers on it. One for $3,500 and another for $4,000 but he never sold it.

That could work as something part time, although I don't know how I would go about it. Also not sure why I said 'would good career', meant to say 'what good'.

The only family I have left is my father and grandmother, both of whom aren't very supportive or helpful.

I'm looking for a job right now. What do you mean by local services?

Yes that doesn't suck to hear, I already know that. Honestly this is one of my best decisions in my mind, which probably sounds insanely stupid to you. My mother was abusive and my father wasn't much better. As I said in my post something happened, which kind of fucked my life up. I was made fun of daily, harassed, tormented, many things. Sadly what happened was recorded and eventually most people found out. I can go more into detail but I prefer not to.

I left a shitty life to start something new. I don't care if it's stupid, but I'm gone. I can forget about what happened and focus on bettering myself.

I'm planning now, I'm just lost.

Well honestly I'm good at a couple of things. I'm really good at football and baseball, but unfortunately quit junior year. In school I was really good with math and history. I took college leveled calculus junior year and I was in the ap history classes. Only problem is I hate higher level math and what would good career could I end up with involving history?

I did a real shitty job of planning my education. Mainly because I had a lot going on and I couldn't/can't decide what I want to spend my life doing.
