lol get off reddit, talk to your school counselor and get those grades up cause life is about to get way shittier. Also start lifting. Your only goals should be grades and lifting, but more importantly grades.

Looking at your position right now, grades should be your main priority. If you get good grades and learn the material you can go to community college (and get A's) then transfer to a good school where you can study Math or Computers. Then you can get a good paying job after college. Software engineers that are 22 years old and right of college who go to work for google will make over $200k their first year.

A shitty job is the hardest failure to overcome later in life.

I'm guessing you probably feel like absolute garbage from the moment you wake up to the moment you fall asleep? You feel like garbage because you eat garbage, and because you don't have any endorphins being released from exercise.

No more soda. No more "food" in colorful packages. No more simple carbs. No more "snacks". Stop eating snacks. Stop eating shit that isn't actual food. STOP EATING SNACKS. All that shit in your pantry? Don't eat it. Don't let your grandma feed you garbage.

Start jogging (not running) or jump roping for 30 minutes 3 days a week. This won't cause you to lose weight but it will make you feel better and in a couple months you can start jogging for 50 minutes and adding pushups, abs, and pull ups to your routine. Note it may take up to 2-4 months before the endorphins from working out to kick in and make you feel good. In fact its very common for overweight people with poor diets to feel like awful after exercise for the first couple of months. Do not let this discourage you.

Identify your goals.

Where do you want to be and what do you want to have accomplished in 1/3/5/10 years? Write these goals down, then write down the tasks needed to achieve these goals. Then complete those tasks. Goals and tasks should be realistic.

For example:

1 Year Goals:

Get B in Math class
- Get B on next test
  - study math 2 hours per night for 2 weeks
  - turn in all homeworks on time
  - Talk to professor, let her know you want to stop being a shit student
Stop feeling like garbage
- 30 minute jog 3 times per week
- No more soda
- No more fucking snacks
- Balanced diet

3 year goals.

Get into a good college
- Do well on SAT

10 year goals:

Have a high paying job
- Fill out steps to get here:
Be a good Mountain Biker
- Fill out steps to get here:
Have a meaningful friendship with 2 people
- Fill out steps to get here:

You suck at life. You're 16. You're supposed to suck at life at 16. Asking for help puts you miles ahead of a lot of people so long as you act on quality advice. The competition is stiff these days. Act now.

Make incremental changes. Don't overload yourself.

Also while it may be a difficult subject, but if you're living with your grandma who has cancer and may pass away soon you want to start thinking about how that would effect you logistically. You will want to look at how you are going to support yourself etc.

Looks like you only have yourself to blame buddy. You know what needs to be done to improve yourself, now you simply have to do it. Watch that Shia Laboeuf video on repeat if you must but get some discipline. Read the sidebar and apply it to your life.

You're right, what's your fucking question?
