Life goes swimmingly, then after making some threats my high school decides to kick me out for fear that I will kill my fellow students and my self, I relocate to Philadelphia and live with my cousins, my cousins kick me out, I live with my Mom.

It might be better to repost your second post in another area, such as the "Open Dhamma" Forum, rather than have it all mixed up with your "Introduction".

If it were easy, everyone would be enlightened and there would be a whole lot less suffering in the world.2) It's full of hypocrites.
There may be some, but not more so than in other religions, non-religionists, from my experience.3) Nearly NO ONE, attains the goal of Buddhism, and when they do, it seems to be some guy from OUTSIDE of the Buddhist religion.
Enlightened ones are not likely to go around announcing it or having a tattoo saying they are enlightened; which doesn't mean there are not some out there.Life goes swimmingly, then after making some threats my high school decides to kick me out for fear that I will kill my fellow students and my self, I relocate to Philadelphia and live with my cousins, my cousins kick me out, I live with my Mom.

Sekha: a 'noble learner', a disciple in higher training, i.e. one who pursues the 3 kinds of training sikkhā, is one of those 7 kinds of Noble Disciples who have reached one of the 4 supra-mundane paths or the 3 lower fruitions see: ariya-puggala while the one possessed of the 4th fruition, or Arahatta-phala, is called 'one beyond training' asekha lit. 'no more learner'. The worldling puthujjana is called 'neither a noble learner, nor perfected in learning' n'eva-sekha-nāsekha Cf. Pug. 23-25.
