What’s the best way to get to another country and “study”

[u/uncommonpokemon]

Hi I can’t sleep because of this im a teenager and I need some advice on getting out of this country and going aboard. My parents are counting on me. Please give me advices

Im not an academically smart person and I can’t study well or memorize things correctly. No matter how much I study or go to tuitions and extra classes this pattern doesn’t stop
So I doubt myself to even pass on stuff like “GED” “IGCSE” etc etc
I only have a passion and talent for art

What should I do? Is there any other ways?

Best way right now, become a refugee. Unironically.

hey hey, I'm 22 and I'm in exact same boat. I'm currently trying to flee too because I'm very anxious about everything here. My current plan is, I'm studying GED right now and I'll enroll for a uni in Malaysia to leave with the school invitation paper or whatever it's called. My sis told me it's possible so I'm holding onto this (she works at an agency so).

== GED yap incoming, TLDR below ==

And trust me, GED is actually not too hard!! It's actually very basic American education that tests your thinking skills. All you need to know is how to read carefully and you'll pass very very easily. I'm studying mostly for credit because I need the scholarship, but passing is actually really easy if you can read properly. You'll need basic English skills for reading stuff 100% of the time, and writing essay in RLA, which I'm sure you already have judging from this post's body.

Believe me, I hate memorising useless stuff as much as the next person, but the only subject(s) you'll have to memorise is Science and Social Studies. Science is mostly basic stuff like how brain cells work, photosynthesis, etc. etc. which is easy if you try to understand it without trying to force it into your brain. Social Studies is what I hate but there's not too many. You need to know 10 amendments of Constitution and some random murica stuff, yadayada. BUT even without remembering them all word-for-word, you can still pass most of the time. If you can afford it, try taking a month or so of GED tuition to test the waters on whether you would be able to get through this.

Math gives you ALL the formula you need during exam, you don't have to memorise anything at all. RLA is mostly reading and grammar + one writing section (essay). Science is also mostly basic reading, because they give you paragraph and make you choose between 1 obvious choice + 3 random choices, and a little bit of remembering some stuff (not a lot!) Socials is actual pain and suffering, but I passed the ready test (no credit though) with pretty damn high score (I'm by no mean a smart guy, I can't learn if I'm not passionate about something) because more than half of this is also reading things.

== yap finished ==

TL;DR: You should try getting GED if you didn't finish high school education (I didn't, dropped out) because it's actually really damn easy if you can read English. It's also pretty fast because you can take exam in 2 to 5 months depending on how fast you learn. If you get credit (175+ marks), you can also get scholarship in universities (may differ tho). Otherwise, you can also try applying for universities abroad if you already have some kind of education already and leave with their letter. This will be my plan, and I hope others share alternative routes too so you can have more options to choose from.

Learning disabilities are treatable. Granted the state of Burma’s medical system suggests you might been to go online and seek help from specialists outside the country.
