I am thinking of a place to completely lose contact with all of my friends and family. Is Canada a pretty good place to live at? It seems pretty open minded and easy to get a job. My only problem is that I am worried about jobs itself because of dyspraxia and overall stupidity.

Hold the phone. Slow down and explain a few things.

• Why is it that you want to lose all contact with your friends and family?

• You're about to graduate from high school. Have you seriously considered the benefits and disadvantages of not seeking a secondary education?

• Do you have the financial resources to live away from your family? If not, would your family support your decision financially?

I was a month away from turning 19 when I graduated high school. My half-brother and half-sister were already 19 when they finished high school. My little sister is the only one of us who will graduate high school in the year she turns 18.

Im 17 and I am finishing school soon however I am going to continue with my education :) :( (?)
I wish I had the confidence to move away from my family..I have no friends so I cant relate lol...anyway my family membes are described to me by others as ''toxic people'' which I am guessing means I should probably move away... canada is certainly doing well at moment economically....many people here (im in ireland want to move there ...or australia...I want to get a PHd before I go anywhere (WHICH TAKES FROM FIVE TO SEVEN YEARS!?)so I would be 23-25 years old before I would be finished thats if I can afford to stay in the education sector that long....anyway I ranting away here...sorry...bye

I can get the financial resources by moving in with a few people at first then saving up then rent a cheap place and look for a job. I was thinking about only doing a few years of college for computer programming. I don't really need anybody else, I am good enough on my own.
The reason why is because I have always just wanted to be alone plus I don't feel connected. I only feel connected with myself.
