I really want to git gud at singing, but I have kind of a small vocal range, and I can't hit a very high pitch either, while most of the songs I like are more high pitched/K or J poppy in nature. Can I improve my range with a lot of vocal training or am I stuck being a shitty singer?

You can improve, but by how much you'll just have to find out by trying. Some learn singing easier with a good instructior and some will never become anything more than mediocre at it despite training hard.

2 words. YouTube Tutorials. They may not be perfect, but they work.

Look up Ken Tamplin on youtube, hes a good teacher and he has some exersizes in his videos that you can sing along to.

Your current vocal range isn't your full range. With practice, you can broaden it.
You simply have to practice. Learn a few songs, and sing. Don't pathetically sing at a teensy tiny voice so nobody can hear you. Naturally, most people sing from their larynx. Let me ask you, do the sides of your neck hurt after you've been practicing for awhile?
If you want to git gud, you have to sing from your diaphram at full volume. Look up breathing techniques for singing. I used to be in the same boat as you:
>be me
>can't sing
>parents deride me each time I try to practice
>finally go off to college
>sing every day in dorm
>suck at first
>annoy my roomate
>voice cracks constantly
>learn how to sing from belly
>tighten abs
>sing at full volume
>eventually one day I "find my voice"
>hit all the notes
>range improves
>throat doesn't hurt
Feels good man. But you have to practice a LOT. Like, an hour a day, and learn to sing from your belly.
