    The college comments are not necessarily for you, we get off topic often here. Your first 2 posts you seemed uneducated, you didn't seem to put any effort into writing them properly. I know you are a kid but here is some advise, if you want to be taken seriously present yourself maturely and properly. As far as your legal advise we need to know what you did.

    It's not the child's fault, when I was in high school teachers and "guidance" counselors told us if you want to be successful you must go to college.

    A couple of my friends had no interest in college and had poor grades (C average) and were basically told to their faces that they were on the path to failure. Funny thing is my friends that didn't go to college are doing better than the ones who did go to college.

    College bound students, on the other hand, were coddled and led to believe that you need a degree and then the sky was the limit. Kids think that college degrees entitle them to a good career primarily feel that way because that's the propaganda K-12 schooling beats into their heads.

    Carefully look at the job postings and market trends of future potential employers before you consider a science degree. Make sure that there is a demand for your degree. I have a MS in chemistry with over 10 yr exp. and the market is tight - for ex. a one year temp position that I was trying for was filled within 2 days of posting! Foreign workers and outsourcing led to an oversupply of available workers, in addition to the backlogs of people left from the years of hiring freezes and previous layoffs. I agree with the idea of getting additional skills as well in case plan A doesn't work out. It was good while it lasted...

    Sentence structure is the main giveaway. Even at 15 the sentence structure would be more in line with normal American english. Also the words chosen such as "make a company". You don't make a company you start a company. Oh and the fact that he wants to contract to the UN.... LOL You know ANY kid in the US that wants to drive for the UN?

    What you say makes sense, but in another post the OP says he lives in Maine and wants to drive in Canada. In another he says he is an American that wants to drive a truck in Australia. In yet another posts he stated that he wants to open a junk yard in a small town in Minnesota. So my take us he is an American kid with wild dreams, which is ok, but he needs to work on his self presentation.
