22 years ago, my wife was making $10/hour with no education past high school.
Today, she's pulling in over $100k/year.
How? She did it on her own. She did go to the local community college and take classes toward a business IT certificate - not even an Associates degree. Also, at her work, she talked to her bosses on how to make things better with databases. They let her. Once that was on her résumé, it led to more and more opportunities. Today, she is a Database / IT manager of data integrity at a major health insurance firm.
You can do it too... Just try to make an opportunity for yourself and take advantage of it. At McDeath, that might not happen, but, when you get home, try to use your free time productively. ALSO, save whatever money you can and be a smart investor with it. DON'T invest in "crypto" or any other crap like that. Google "FOMO" - "Fear of missing out"... Too many people invest because they want to get in on something and not miss the boat on the next best thing. All too often, the next best thing is a fucking Titanic and people's money goes *poof*.
Reflect on the fact that you now have a lot more freedom TO accomplish things. What is it you'd like to do? If you can't think of anything and that gets you down, try something simple, like making a recording (your phone probably has the capability) of a favorite book; not only does it give you something concrete (well, digitally concrete) when you finish, but the progress made in recording it lets you feel that you're actually DOING something in making that progress.
You could even sign up to Librivox (which makes public domain recordings of public domain books), and share it with the world!

It's normal, adolescence is the best stage of human life, I graduated three years ago and I also miss being a 15-year-old teenager, the good thing is that now I'm in college and I don't work.
Then start accomplishing things
You are still young, you silly girl.
