Seconding everyone above me, bb.

First off, you aren't nothing. Self-pitying never got anyone anywhere. Trust me on this okay? I used to be a huge defeatist and did it all the time. You aren't alone either. You have family and friends (online or offline) that care a lot about you. I may not know you EXTREMELY well, but I do care for you and think you are all sorts of awesome. I am here for you, and so are a lot of other people. Keep that chin up! ♥ we love you!

And online courses are GREAT if you are dedicated. You get to set your own scheadule and it's very easy to have a job at the same time. (and no group projects or presentations! yay!) And are very good for improving high school grades. I'm retaking a bunch of high school courses so I can get more financial aid and schoolarships. So I can vouche for online courses. Community college I've heard is a good route too. You have plenty of options.

You mentioned voluntering at the library? Yes it gives you no money, but employers DO look at volunteer hours. It shows that you can commit to something and have experience working somewhere. Besides if you do good enough work at the library you might just land a paying job. And if not? You at least have references for a resume. Volunteer hours are good! Actually in Canada we have to complete 40 hours of community service before we can graduate from high school. (Also I know for a fact there are some schoolarships available for those that give back to their communities)
