I want to have fun bu ti also wan tmoney and im not sure which one to focus emor eon becasue i need money but im also bored.

i have autism, dxylexyia, depression, and possibly adhd also my allergys are bad and i take meds for most of this stuff. sense im depressed i feel like i stink at mos tthings or i lack something, or just something is missing. my family says i cant get a job intill a get thru highschool but im not sure if that will happen, so i might have to do a sidehustle of sorts. im very limited like my pc isint "modern" i have derpession and whatnot but i do want to do something while i still can, but im not sure.

sorry if this become too long, also i tend to post content like this alot but i seem to only listen to myself also i hate hormones and mood swings. i feel like my family dosent understand me even if i just screamed at them i feel they still woudent understand anything.

You are likely not going to receive good advice on job opportunities because people here don't know where you live (and you shouldn't tell).

As for fun, a cheap, old computer can go a long way if you're capable of enjoying old games. Depending on your social circle, there are also a lot of fun, afforable tabletop games.

Regardless, if you have good reason to think you're absolutely stuck in your studies, it's possible that continuing high school could actually be a bad idea and you should be looking for alternatives - but since it sounds like you're a minor, this is something you should discuss with your parents. You might have more luck with alternative educational paths, or you may have too much difficulty to learn while you're struggling with depression but be able to graduate after a couple years, or you might have an easier time to learn a career on the workplace itself. Just keep in mind that it's extremely difficult to get started in some industries without an official title.
