How do you make a failure into a Japanese resident? -

Ok, hello everyone. I am a 19 year old American, born and raised in Texas, and I would like to live in Japan. I'm not from a rich family, nor am I a child prodigy with brilliantly stunning intellect. Every since I was a young child, I've always dreamt of living in Japan. This was before I knew about anime and manga, and other weeaboo related things. This was a child's dream. My father never cared that I loved Japan, and all my requests to study abroad were shot down without a second glance. Years later, I grow up. I start dealing with life, and American scholls, and drama and whatnot. My and my father get in a fight and I get kicked out of the house. This was during school, and I was unable to go because I was too busy wandering around searching for food and other survival necessities. Another family member takes me in, and I manage to make contact with my mother, and she invites me to stay with her. So I go withdraw, and I pack and get sent up to Missouri with pretty much nothing. I get there, and two days later, me and my mom get in a fight. This is before we were planning to go get me registered at a school up there somewhere. Turns out my mom was still doing hard drugs, so I couldn't stay there. The story continues with me back in Texas, my father pities me and takes me back in. I attempt to get my diploma at a juvenille deliquent school, because on the books it states that I dropped out, which in fact, I did not. About two weeks in, a ton of drama goes down, and I get blamed for it, and *drumroll*, I get kicked out. The chances of me getting a diploma now, are slim-to-none. I don't know why I'm telling my life story to random internet strangers. Anyways, my questions here are; 1)Would it be possible to get into the JET Programme, or something similar with a GED? 2)What sort of classes do I need to take in college or whatever, to become an english teacher in Japan (or any other jobs in Japan, but I think I'd have to settle for English Teaching.)? 3)What are my chances of having a childhood dream come true? Thanks for reading, I guess. Pardon the rambling, it's 1:23 AM here.
