How do I deal with it? School.?

Question

II want to be home schooled and seeing as how my parents don't want to cooperate with me I'm stuck in a public school.

I'm sick of being at school. I don't belong there. Everyday it gets worse and worse. I want to be happy and if I continue on going to a place I'm not comfortable at I'm going to be miserable for the next 3 and a hlaf years.

I've tried and tried to get my parents to try out the whole home schooling adventure and they just won't. They don't understand at all no matter what I do or how I present my feelings.

It's getting so much hard just getting up in the mornings, knowing I have to go there. I'm starting to just forget about my homework and I know thats not good but I can't help but loose interest in my school work.

I know if I was home schooled I'd be so much more happy.

But for now I have to go.. I mean, I have a few friends, but that's not enough. I seriously hate school and I don't have any motivation for going. What should I do?

Answer 1

Figure out the exact problem and talk to your parents about the problem, not the solution you've come up with. Look to solve your specific school problems and be willing to have other solutions.

Answer 2

woot im right there with you the only reason that i have no trouble going is 1 i have lots of friends 2 its a good place to skate and 3 i do good and dont have problems with the work cause our teachers work with you and help u out personaly

Answer 3

I was in the same situation a few years ago. Luckily, my parents supported me completely. I homeschooled for 3 years, and now I'm back in public school (it was a hard decision to come back, but I wanted to get the high school experience). After that break, I'm so much more happy with my life and how it's going. It also helped that my school consolidated with 2 other towns while I was gone, so everything's different. Are you in highschool? I know it's a completely different experience to homeschool in elementary school than highschool, but it can be done if you have enough motivation. It also helps to have a parent at home that's willing to help. If you really want to, then I'd suggest you do some research. Show your parents that you're serious, and willing to deal with whatever you have to. I have a friend that's homeschooling, and she's a junior. She works from the Clonlara program. I hope you get what you want. Good luck with whatever you decide to do. Hope this helped a bit...

Answer 4

I have the same problem. I don't want to go to public school because I am not good at presenting things in front of my class and just saying anything at all in front of them really scares me and makes me really shaky.

I only want to go to see my friends. I can care less about the homework. I still do it anyway and I get good grades on every thing. Weird, but anyway, your problem. LOL. sorry. Ummm.. Talk to your parents more about this. Tell them it's hard to get up in the morning anymore and that your really failing everything in school. Hope I helped.

Ok wowwwww this sounds like the me from a few months ago wrote it. First off, do you understand you'll be missing a lot (graduation, dances, etc)? If you're willing to give that up (I was because I felt similar to how you are feeling) there's a home schooling thing called Penn Foster. It's a little over 1,000 dollars. They send you all the books you need, you can take your test online, on the phone, or mail them in. They don't teach you, you teach yourself. You can have transcripts sent from your old school to them which will excelerate the graduation process even more. I started the school year as a sophmore. I started Penn Foster in October, my old school sent my transcripts (you have to ask them to do it) and I'll be done by about June or shortly after. You can go at your own pace, learn whenever and wherever you choose. You teach yourself it's pretty simple. Talk to your parents about that. It was the best choice for me because I just don't see how I would have made it through the year.

Answer 6

If you really want to be home schooled, I'm afraid you'll have to consult more with your parents. But Anyway, I would really recommend home schooling because it provides the freedom in learning, social activities, and time that it sounds like you're looking for. I was in your situation once, and luckily, I eventually got into home schooling. Godspeed!

Answer 7

Basically you want to drop out of school and stay at your house. Killer plan. It makes total sense now. Get away from the drama, the deadlines, the early mornings. Yeah that would be the life.

Sipping umbrella drinks by the poolside. Waking up at 2 PM. Staying up until 4 AM. Full rockstar status.

Except for the part where you turn 18 and you don't know anything. You lack essential social skills. And no college will accept you because you didn't even get an real diploma.

I was home schooled against my will. It typically devolves into some form of child abuse. Think about it, your moms having a bad day and you are the only person she can blame and you can't get away from each other. Yeah that will improve your quality of life. Or how about your lack of motivation? Removing the deadlines will surely put a little jump in your step, I mean everyone rushes to do things that aren't really mandatory.

What you want is a pipe dream. It doesn't exist. You could be home schooled but listen to experience here it is not nirvana, it is c**p & it will turn your life to c**p faster than you can possibly imagine.

I know that sounds harsh but if I could change one thing in my past being home schooled would be that thing. I was suicidal for years afterwards because of the mental and physical abuse that I suffered. YOU DON'T WANT TO BE WITH YOUR PARENTS 24/7!!!!!

Instead focus on being motivated with your studies and finding serenity in your life. http://www.thinkarete.com/ideas/by_topic

Answer 8

There are probably lots of reasons your parents are unwilling.  Do they work?  Perhaps they're intimidated by the idea of having to 'teach"?

I'd suggest doing some research yourself - then when you approach them on it, have FACTS in hand.  You'll be a lot better received than if you just whine about your current education system.

Good luck!

Answer 9

I understand you completely!! I feel the same way, I get good grades, everyone is nice to me and i even have a 80% schollarship (private school) but I dread going to school every day, I don't have time for anything i wish I could focus more on learnig other languages or an instrument. I'm also thinking about it.  If you are completly sure that is what you want I would go for it. Sit down with your parents and make a list with all the pros of homeschool. Hope it works :)

Answer 10

Have you talked to your school counselor? maybe he/she can talk to your parents.. Are you having problems with other kids or teachers? I don't want to say anything bad about your parents because I don't know them but, it seems to me that they are just too busy to actually listen to you which is not good.. Parents should ALWAYS take the time to listen... No matter what!!

Print out what you just wrote on here and show to them or leave it in an obvious place so they will see it... Write on there in big letters... WE NEED TO TALK!!!! If that doesn't work go any of their close friends and see if they can talk to them..

My daughter is 12 and if she wanted this I'd help her all I could and I hope your parents will finally listen to you .. Good luck.

Answer 11

pretty much deal with it! your parents will probabley have to work and won't have the time, its only for a little while longer, what are you going to do when you have to go to work? stay in bed and wallow? come on get a good education and meet some good friends that will help you in later life!!!

ps no-one likes school but we all have to get on with it!
