I won't graduate

I'm 18 and a senior in high school. Because of the corona virus my terrible procrastinating habits came back just when I was getting on the momentum of actually doing my work, I passed all my classes except my math class. I got a zero in math because I kept putting it off. School is now over, and my parents are really upset that I could manage getting a zero. I don't know if I'll be able to graduate, and I might end up having to take summer classes. I feel like such a failure, all my friends are going to college, and I haven't even applied anywhere yet. I feel so far behind. I'm scared I'll become a minimum wage worker all my life and live with my parents. Had I still been able to attend school I would've passed all my classes easy, especially because I had all my friends there to constantly support me and motivate me by staying on top of their own work. But now I feel like such a failure, idk what to do with my life anymore.

Oh well it is hard to do school at home. No structure. Our brains are used to home being a place to relax. Lots of people have been struggling. Even teachers. If summer school is available just do it. It will help. Life is full of bumps. It’s what you do with them. I have a philosophy. All you can do is look forward. You can’t change the past. It is gone. Don’t live there or look back.
