You can, if you make the choice to. You can choose to let any obstacle, condition or excuse get in your way, but in the end, it's all about you and what you choose. What you are willing to do to reach your dreams and goals.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Of course there is still hope for you . I know it can really suck being behind but honestly it isnt that big of a deal . Its better to be behind than to give up all together .
Make some new friends join some kind of group that will support you and the changes you want to make in your life if you are religious maybe try a youth group if not there are plenty of other ways to meet new people that are kind and driven .. try volunteering. To be truely happy you need to figure out what will make you happy maybe you want to help; others or maybe you want to travel or maybe you just want to go to college whatever it may be just find a way to do it there will always be those crowds that are on the wrong path .. so you must find the right one for you don't be dragged in by peer pressure and don't worry about that others think.... life is to short so have fun with it don't give up there is always hope I hope you find some peace in this and good luck.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
