You live in the UK? You should be able to move out when you reach 18. I don’t think they can keep you at home forever, especially when you are old enough to legally leave. Do you know any friend who can put you up when you reach legal age? But on the flip side… My friend has experience with studying in Korea, and she told me that the grading system there is so broken that studying becomes a dog-eat-dog experience. So basically, a classroom will always have 40% people with A or A+ grade, 40% people with B grade, and 20% people with other grades. No matter how much score you get from your work, the teacher will always have to do something to make sure this percentage is achieved at the end of the day. As a result, competition is extremely high. You could get a 9.5/10 for a work and get a B for overall score if enough of your friends have 9.6 or higher. That puts everyone on constant lookout for each other, and everyone constantly lives in fear of having rubbed their classmates the wrong way just because they happen to do well in learning. Even if you don’t care for score that much, the toxicity of other people would still affect you. It’s a very cruel and unfair system. Why do you have to study in Korea? Doesn’t the UK offer what you want? It’s not like you live in a third-world country where opportunity to study is so limited studying abroad is the only option. Studying abroad isn’t always this dreamy situation where you go and everything is open for you. It comes with heavy responsibilities like fending for yourself, overcoming culture shock, or just finding your way around a strange place. And from what you told us here it doesn’t seem like you are fully prepared to be alone in a strange place with strange culture. Not to mention you don’t even know much about the field you are supposed to be passionate with! When I was your age I used to really like to be a game designer. But then time passed and I realized that I was just in love with the idea of it, not actually doing it, and I have zero knowledge of how to make a functional game. Maybe that isn’t the case for you, but maybe spend some more time researching on the fashion industry to see if it’s really the thing for you? I’m not saying these to undermine your passion. I’m just saying that you always have to weigh out the pros and cons carefully when making risky decisions, and come up with a solution that will benefit you the most with the least chance of risk. You are still very young and still exploring the world. The thing I would recommend doing now is to explore your options and see what really suits you.
