I definitely want to start by giving you credit for efforts. Most people would never even have tried negotiating with one school, let alone three. I admire your perseverance, and I think it is important that you realize that we all at some point where we want to give up. This okay and natural. The only thing you need to remember is that this needs to be temporary. You cannot change the past, and you must simply live in the present. So, tomorrow, get your ass back out looking at new colleges. Sooner or later someone will accept your credits.
No one will hold your hand at this point, and I know that you know that, evidenced by your previous efforts to go to a college. So, if you really want to go to school, you need to use positive thoughts to encourage yourself to proceed. Depression is spiral into a black hole; the more you contemplate how awful your life is, the worse the depression becomes, the harder it becomes to get out of it. You need to turn things around now, instead of waiting until later.
I recommend going back to the same schools you already visited. If one person turns you down, argue your case. If he continues to reject it, ask someone else where a higher official in the bureaucracy of the college can be located. Present your case to this guy as well. Also, before you go to the schools, know what you are going to say. Develop your argument previous to speaking with these various admissions people, not relying improvisation. recite it in your head. Your words will be everything. if you did poorly in high school, you need to tell them how and why you will do better in college; you need to tell them why you are qualified to receive credit for your classes.
