I hate school and my parents won't let me homeschool

What kind of testing do they do in high school in your state?

I regret it because I did not faced my problems. I suffered bullying, was alone, and I asked to be home scholeed when I was 15. Today I see that I should have gone, faced everything and everyone, I realized this with 19y. I was locked in the house studying and sleeping all day, I developed anxiety and social phobia, but more locked at home than at school! If you really want to be homeschooled, I advise you to go out at least every day, either for a walk, to do a language course... Staying in home because of other people is not a good choise. <3

I was homeschooled when I was 16 after a suicide attempt. I really don't know if it was a good choice but I know how awful school can be, the dread you get from going still feels real to me. That fear was so horrible, I probably didn't deal with it the best way but I still have nightmares about highschool. At the same time I wish I had given more people a chance ,including teachers. Once I was homeschooled I shut everything out completely and just did my school work and played video games, I'd go out hiking alone in my neighborhood but never "hung out" or anything.

Hey!
I am very sorry to hear about your parents not being able to see your point of view.

Recently, I enrolled my daughter into a full time online school. She did well in elementary but didn't transition well to middle school (due to bullying ). So far she has been very happy with the change and is quickly picking up how to use the online platform. She gets very excited being able to submit her assignments online. Plus they are very flexible and accommodating especially towards her health issues. The best part for us seeing her happy to learn again which is precious. Plus it gives us a lot of quality family time.

You can ask your parents to look up the pros and cons of online schooling/homeschooling and traditionalschooling, I'm sure they will be able to understand the advantages.

Good Luck

I actually work in a public school as a para and this is just my personal opinion but I don't think this good advice that you should follow. Running away from your problems by skipping school and getting your parents in trouble is not the answer. What you need to do is find a teacher, para, or other staff member that you can get along with. That person in the school who always smiles and waves to you and that you feel comfortable around. Go to this person and talk to them about your concerns. Maybe not right in the middle of class in front of people but ask if you can get a pass from your homeroom teacher to see this person on their free period to talk in private about your issues. Trust me, as someone who works in a school, WE DO CARE! I have taken on the burden of several student's issues who at first thought I was just there as a placeholder, a person who would abandon them when the new person came along. I worked hard to convince them that there was no new person. I was it and I truly wanted them in school. Even on their worst day they should come and I would be there with a hug if they wanted it and a smile on my face. I'm sure there's someone at your school like. You might just need to do a bit of thinking.
