Are you planning on attending college? I
wouldn't worry too much over high school
transcripts. Mine weren't so good either.
I had no idea what I wanted to be and here
I am 2 years into college and I'm still
shaky about what I want. But because I
wasn't really sure I went to a bigger
college (They probably won't care about
your transcripts either) so there was
variety of different courses I could try
out. I've narrowed down what I want now so
I feel a little better.
I have definitely gone through that. My
senior year was a mess.
Just think of things you really enjoy
doing and try and look in that direction
for a career.

There are a lot of colleges that don't
care about grades. Heck, as long as you
have money, a college doesn't care at all
what your grades were in high-school. Good
grades only help with getting
scholarships.
There is always the option of the military
for a few years, or the reserves. The
military is not evil! You could also go
into the Peace Corps.

No one remembers or cares much about your
high school experience, except when you
are actually there experiencing it. You
know, you can always get a fresh start at
a community college. You go there for 2
years, it's cheaper, usually quieter and
there are usually more free services to
help you succeed than at the bigger
universities. You get yourself a passing
GPA and then you can go to a bigger
university if you want to. Community
College students get priority in
admissions to bigger university. Your
high school transcripts become irrelevant.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I
think you'll find a lot of people don't
know what they want to do...heck, I'm
almost 30 and have had several big career
changes.
You're not going to be 'locked' into
anything forever.
I hope that you are getting the depression
treated well. This kind of major life
event (graduation) is going to compound
the effects of the depression.
If you want to go to college, alot of
colleges will take life events into
account if your grades suck. Talk to a
guidance counselor at school or contact a
college admissions representative. They
may be able to help wade you through the
process and get financial aid.
Maybe instead of looking towards a "big"
goal-what do I want to do the rest of my
life? look towards smaller ones like,
"where do I want to spend my days" "what
do I want to be doing in a year" to help
get some focus. Best of luck!

Hm. I'm in one of the bigger universities
in my state and I we have plenty of career
and tutoring services, both of which are
always free and open most of the day.
I'd look around and see what you like
more. Have you visited any colleges?
) anybody else feel
like this or has gone through this?
