You need to talk to a lawyer- should be able to get a consult for 50 bucks, or free (I do foreclosure consults for free), or go through Legal Aid in your community. Make sure its a real estate attorney.
Too many unanswered questions in your post to give legal advice, but given your age, your prospects, and the fact that its only worth half of what you paid, you probably should walk.
Is it a judicial (lawsuit) foreclosure, or a non-judicial (just paperwork posted on the door)? If its non-judicial, they get the house, and nothing else.
