Definitely tough for a person in that age group, although the other comments gave good advice.

In general, I'd say the options are:

  • A student visa hoping you can turn it into something more permanent later
  • Work visa - self-explanatory, find a job in the target country that will sponsor your visa
  • Critical skills visa - some countries will offer visas to people in certain fields because they have a shortage in that industry.
  • "Join Family" visa - some countries might offer visas to extended family, so if you have family somewhere else you can join them. They'll probably have to prove they can provide for you, at a minimum.
  • Spousal visa - i.e. if you marry someone overseas or are married to someone who already has dual-citizenship, you should be able to get a visa to live in their country instead.
  • Get citizenship via ancestry (depends on country, but usually has to be a parent or grandparent who has citizenship already)
  • Apply to be some kind of refugee - almost certainly not applicable for the US yet though

Some countries might have even less restrictive options, but those are the ones I'm aware of in most western countries.
