In your first sentence you say "trust me - I deserve it". I find it hard to trust you when you didn't even tell us the reason your parents kicked you out. Care to tell us that?
Dare I ask why your mom "removed" your computer and why you deserve being kicked out of your parents house?
"My rationale is simple. If one wants to succeed, one will succeed. If one does not succeed, one did not want to succeed enough. Consequently, one was not willing to make the proper sacrifices required to succeed. Success is a function of desire. That's it." I admire your ambition, but if you really believe the above you have a lot to learn about life. Best of luck with your endeavors!
Biggest problem with teenagers(I had my own when I was in my teens). They think their eagerness, fresh introduction to the world, and their raw energy as something that is going to stay forever. Note, as a teenager you have least responsibilities. Hardly anything to lose when you fail, full of energy. And the only way you can go is up. And this is as easy as it gets, once you step into your 20's at every step there h…
Let me tell you my own personal story. Take from it what you will. My first passion in computers was programming. Before any games (other than Microsoft Flight Simulator), it was programming. I started when I was 8, in QBASIC. By the time I was 14, I was hacking away at 3d graphics, physics sims, my own OS kernel, etc. That was also the age at which I completed my highschool, as I was homeschooled after 5th grade. It…

I think Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, Michael Dell, Mark Zuckerberg, and Bill Gates would disagree.
You reject reasonable, considered arguments from smart people who have been through what you've been through and advise you to go in a specific direction. So it looks like you've already made up your mind about what you want to do.

Thank you for your feedback. It would be so much more helpful if you could provide specific examples within my writing that are grammatically incorrect. Lastly, to comment, I am very curious to know why I am receiving more feedback on my style of writing rather than the ideas I am attempting to communicate.
> I am a ... left-brained neurosis (did you mean 'neurotic?' not sure what this means) diet regimented monk (did you mean 'diet regiment monk'? not sure what this means) zealous disruptive product fiend (did you mean 'zealous fiend for disruptive products'? not sure what this means). > "All of the above is far too subjective to have any empirical value. So, here is a quick and porous synopsis of my "experience" over…

The simple truth is you've put alot of time into thinking about how to look smart, and it shows. Just relax a bit and solve the problems in front of you and your natural intelligence will show, naturally.
Your story isn't unique. Thousands of people on this forum were kids just like you once. Put some code on your GitHub profile. That's the most important external link you could have included in this post, yet it's conspicuously missing. Spend some time in the business world learning to "conform to the societal bullshit" and spend your evenings bootstrapping your next startup. You sound like you have the technical ski…
Cmwelsh, thank you for your feedback and time. That sounds like dogma.
You say that Google shutdown your adsense account. That is, depending on the reasons, significant. You're not allowed to set up another account, so you're hampering your ability to use that monetisation route. (I welcome corrections, especially from any Googlers reading.)
