Should I go back to High School or stay where im at?

OK I guess thats a dumb question because im guessing most of you are going to say go back to regular High School but lemme tell you everything, well just little bits of it haha. Soo when I went to HS I was happy you know, nervous and excited, made new friends, saw old ones, but then I was slacking off and nt earning credits, just passing one class with a D, and also missing a lot a lot a lot OF SCHOOL. (and yess I know that happens a lot but shut up keep reading I need ADVICE!) So I decided I didn’t wanna go you know, I asked my mom to put me in some independent studies school friends and people in school were talking about. (Vista Real Charter High School to be exact.) I also told her it would be good if she did enroll me there so she can go back to work (she just had a baby in about 7months old) and I could watch my baby sister. So yeah that happend and I earned a credit a week and then went I got the hang of the work they gave me 2 credits. I was doing great came from like a 1.0 GPA to a 3.7 GPA. So yeah that was in 06-07 and I was a Freshman(9th Gr.) and now its 09 and im bout to be a Senior(12th Gr.) I need 78 credits and I want to go back to REGULAR HS but I was thinking of going in the middle of the year but my friends told me I wont be in the yearbook and that will suck you know. I know thats not all important but I want the memories if I WERE to go. I have a lil over 1 month to think about this. OH PLUS I wanna go to PROM but people tell me its a waste of money and a whole bunch of other stuff. And I know thats not all important either but it KINDA is to me. Sooo im wondering if I should go back? I mean ima start doing 3 credits a week if I stay at my Independent studies school and if I do that I will graduate in JANUARY, but if I go back to REG HS I will graduate in JUNE. My boyfriend said to stay where im at so I can have a few months head start but I don’t know. Do you think it will be worth it? OH and if I go back to reg HS I will have to go to school before 7AM and leave around 6-630pm to earn my credits you know. And I don’t know if I will be able to keep up with my work because im not used to regualar high school schedules and you know like homework each night and waking up every day because I only go once a week unless I need help at the school im at right now. UGH Idont know. My family just tells me to do what I want but idont know its hard. I dont know if ima regret doing which ever I choose. I also wanna be with friends and graduate with a big class because I my school its not a lot is prob like 50-70 people are somethimes less you know. but I don’t know ummm its complicated and hard and I don’t know, kinda DUMB right??? well I wanted to give more info but what do you think I shud do? GO BACK TO REGULAR HISH SCHOOL OR STAY WHERE IM AT? IS PROM, GRADUATION, AND STRESS WORTH IT? ughh sorry but yeah some of you may not care but those of you who have your opinions thoughts, ideas, and whatever else comes to mind just tell me.

Answer #3

I say stay where you’re at.. and if you can hang out with your friends too that’s tight. But yaa… it really seems like what you’re doing is working a lot better for you than high school would. Which, I’m just about to get into homeschooling because I think it’ll work better for me than high school.. I would only suggest GED if you’re super anxious to be done… which, considering how little time you have left before you’re done, I’d say avoid that route if you can. That’s more for like… people who are 16 or mayyybe 17. -.- BTW~ You can have your own graduation if you want too! And invite all the people you know and have fun celebrating =) It’s honestly not missing out on much. Ya, getting asked to the prom is funnn… you pick out a nice dress and can’t afford to do anything for a few months unless you’re rich… but its for one night of dancing and punch and partying with your senior class… I’m guessing other stuff too haha im a junior never honestly been to a partyyy but from what I’ve heard over the few years I’ve been in hs xP People come and go in high school. I’m not sure how different it would be for you if you went back, but it’d be longer than you would need to. Imo stay where you’re at. =o

Answer #4

stay where you are the stress and drama of it is not worth it, im in the same place but my parents want me back in school. doing what youre doing now is way more worth it.. yeah sure prom and a huge graduation are nice but not having stress is better. plus you graduate 5 months earlier than everyone else and prom is always an option no matter what

Answer #5

OKAY I WAS ALSO TO TIRED TO READ IT ALL…LOL..BUT I THINK you SHUD GO BACK TO school…I WAS 16 WHEN I DROPPED OUT because I HAD GOTTEN PREGGERS WELL I HAD THE CHOICE TO DO HOME school OR GO back TO school I CHOOSE HOME school AND I LOVED IT AT THE TIME BUT WHEN I WOULD TALK TO MY HOMEGURLS ABOUT PARTYS AND PROM AND ALL THE SENIOR ACTIVITES I WAS MISSING OUT ON I WANTED TO GO BACK ALSO your SENIOR PICS WALKING ACROSS THE STAGE AND TAKING PICS WITH MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS AFTERWARDS IN OUT CAP AND GOWNS AND THE PARTY AFTERWARDS I MISSED AND IF I COULE DO IT OVER AGAIN I WOULD SO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF AND ENJOY IT you ONLY DO IT ONCE..

Answer #6

Answer #7

I’m sorry I am just too tired to read all of this =P But I saw the main question “Should I go back to high school or stay where im at?” My answer is to just take your G.E.D. It costs $20.00 and it’s the same thing as a Highschool Diploma only this is given to you directly by the state that you live in.

Hope this helped.
