Okay. I'm going to assume by your answers that you're not going to lose your temper anymore, and that this is not me wasting my time giving you advice. Here's what I suggest:
If you want to train in stickfighting of any sort, you need a partner. That's your first homework assignment. Get two or three people who want to learn with you. I say two or three because if you only have one, you're going to get stood up a lot and you'll have no one to train with. So talk to your friends and form a group.
Second, realize that what you're doing is dangerous, and it will - not can, but WILL - hurt you at some point. You're going to get busted knuckles, bruises, busted open elbows and knees, and maybe even worse. You're talking about engaging in a dangerous activity, and you're hoping to do it without any supervision at all. That is a recipe for a lot of emergency room visits, so talk to your parents and make sure that it's okay with them. If it's not, maybe they'll help you figure out a way to get to and from a class.
Third, you need to do some research on the kind of stickfighting you want to learn. There are literally thousands of different styles and methods out there, and each has a different flavor. Being as you're young and inexperienced, I'd recommend looking into something like Modern Arnis. Remy Presas developed it to fit well into the familiar structures of more traditional martial arts, and as a result, it spread fast. That means two things for you: One, it'll be easier to find. Two, it'll make more sense to you than some ofthe less structured systems might.
Fourth, you need to become a better researcher. You need to learn how to dig around on the internet and find information. The notion that there's no one in your area that does what you want to do is inconceivable. I've lived in some of the most podunk towns in America. I've lived in 23 states and probably 40 different cities and towns, and in every one of them I can remember, there was someone who did the same stuff as I do. So the fact is that there are people in your area, and no one is better positioned to find them than you are. You just need to direct that desire to learn at finding a teacher. You may not want to hear it, but this is not something you can do all by yourself.
I'll add more to this later, but in the mean time, prove you're serious by getting a friend or two to commit to training with you, and then find a few schools who teach some form of stick. They're out there, I promise. Just get creative and don't give up.
