Hey everyone, Well, I was looking through a magazine and ran across this ad for First Coast Academy. It's like this home schooling thing where you can earn your diploma in less the 6 months at home, and its a REAL diploma, not a GED. I went to this website and read about it and it sounded good. I don't care how long it takes but I want my Diploma so I requested a packet about it. Now heres the thing, I'll be 18 years old in January. I have problems with public schools, The teachers don't care, you get no attention and I make horrible grades. I was sick with pnuemonia the last of the school year and was out for 2 weeks. I was like , fine..It's all good...I'll get all the work done and everything..Well I go back adn the teacher tells me there is no way I will make up the work and that I screwed up. The best she coulda done was have faith in me. So I dropped out. The semester before that I got sick and had to stay out for a while, I come back and hear from my friend that my art teacher told her that I was the type to drop out of school anyway..I was so mad, but I got over and it continued with the day..Then I go to english class and the teacher kicked me out. So I dropped out then, too. I have teachers that don't teach, most are to busy sleeping with the students and I'm plain sick of it all. This is the only chance I got to make something of myself. I wont graduate until I'm 19 anyway..And I might screw up again if I go back. So I ask, Do you think this whole Home-Schooling is right for me? I believe it is and I want to talk to my mother about it. That will be the easy part. What do I tell her though? She will think that I wont have any social life if I don't go to public school and that is the last thing I'm worried about right now. That's part of the reason I screwed up at public. So, How do I tell her and my dad? My dad is going to be harder to explain this to because he is harder to talk to. Please respond, I need help, school screwed me over so many times and I want to get my diploma so so bad that it hurts. I want to make something of myself and be somebody. This whole thing has put me in a depression and I just need this. Thanks for listening and maybe responding. :)
