Alright, first off, what is it you want to do exactly? You've mentioned several different classes that you took, or programs that you tried to get into. You say you want to work in video games, and that is great, but what do you want to do specifically in Video games? Figuring that out and committing to it is step one.
Step two: If you can not find the program that will get you doing the work you want to do it, you need to start looking into online classes or being fully self taught (I'm doing a mix of the two).
One thing you mentioned was that you've struggled to make grades before. I am not going to lie to you, being self taught, or attending online schools requires a lot of dedication and self motivation. You are going to have to push yourself even harder then you did when you were trying to make the grades back in school.
The good news is, you have us. Post here. Share your work and people will give you feedback. If they don't, post more progress! I've seen people grow on here from clueless new people struggling to make their normal maps bake down correctly to some of the best artists I've seen!
Also, don't forget, Youtube has tonnes of free tutorials to get you started.

Right now I'm focusing on modelling and playing a bit with engines like Unreal. Doing some really simple animations too.
My grades are not that bad, they are above average, but here you need pretty high grades to do something audiovisual related. And I would give all my day to modelling if I could, but the problem is than in the school as I said I practically don't learn anything I could use, and in home I don't get along really well with my family and sometimes it gets really noisy, so I end getting unmotivated even if the idea of doing something is in my head all the time.
Also I don't go out that much, so if I tell them that I want to self-taught and spend even more time in my room just after they have paid the enrollment of the course I don't think they will take that very well.
Thanks for the help and sorry again for the drama, but it feels like swimming against the stream and I'm pretty lost.
