Sorry about all your problems.

Often some people here have mentioned that when young people are in school - this probably isn't the ideal time to get a pet. And, like a lot of young people, you also work --- and, I sure you have social life too.

Tearing up the carpet - chewing on the walls, etc. are things that most puppies do. And, fortunately, they do outgrow this chewing stage.

But until they do - you just have to keep them confined to an area where they can't do so much damage.

When I'm gone, my pup is confined to a rather large kitchen - with everything he needs...lots of toys, food, water, bed, etc. He has been quite good - and hasn't done much damage there.

But - when I'm home and he has more run of the house - this is when he gets into all sorts of trouble - or at least, he would like to. So, I really have to keep an eye on him when he's running around.

I think more appropriately confining him and his getting older will solve a lot of your problems.

I know how hard it must be - with your being so busy. Dogs, especially puppies, take a lot of time. They need a lot of attention and training.
