I am 16 turning 17 in August. I'm applying to Etelä-Tapiola, Ressu, SYK, Mattlidens and Tikkurila.
My problem is I came to Finland from Somalia last year as an asylum seeker because of the war and wasn't able to bring my schools reports along with me. I've always been a brilliant student and have gotten a 90% on my grade 9th report card back home. This year I was studying in grade 9 again in a Finnish school. I haven't been doing good because I have little knowledge of the Finnish language and will not be graduating in 2 months with a complete report card. My guidance counselor told me the IB schools wouldn't except me. But I have decided to at least try and partake in the entrance exams. If I ace the entrace exams, is there a chance the schools would accept me? And if they do not, can I take grade 9 a third time in English and apply again next year when I turn 19? Will they accept a 19 year old in IB 1? They say Eira in Helsinki would be a good school for me, but I have doubts it is what I'm looking for. I would like to be an English teacher abroad in the future. Please, I am so confused about my future, give me some answers.

Joo siis tossa oli rasistinen kommentti, siihen toi mun enkunkielinen vastaus
There was a very racist comment, luckily it got deleted after I reported it.
@rovaniemelt_taas I have searched. And I have come to discover that thos other people do not have the same problems as me. I was searching for some in-depth as to what I should do in a case like this.
Greetings to you, also.
Is there something I'm missing? What kind of rascist comment?
