Hizeme, as you've probably been told drugs/alcohol/bad habits don't go away simply because you're doing something else. If you are really sincere about changing your life then kendo may be a good outlet for you as 'part' of your new lifestyle... but be warned that learning kendo is a long and drawn out process so don't go into it looking for a quick fix. In addition to kendo you also need to get serious about changing your life... do this by all the typical advice.. ie stay in school, get a job, be honest to yourself and others etc etc. Kendo will help in this regard also as it is based in etiquette and honor. I'd say give it a go and see what you think. It won't cost much for a while (until you need armor). But you probably won't be doing nito (2 swords) right off the bat. You'll need to learn patience and perseverance. Good luck.
