Answer 1

take courses online if you can and try to get back up to speed

Answer 2

16 ?? Jesus Christ .. shouldn't they have boosted you up a level because of your age ?

Answer 3

At this point, I'd advise you to hit the books, school yourself, try and become worldy, and then get your GED. I know some other middle school (or ninth grade) dropouts, most of whom led crazy liquor-fueled teen lives, and they're doing allright. I know four at my college, actually, which is Massachusetts's FLAGSHIP state university.

Curiously, these kids tend to be among the smartest and most creative. My theory is they're TOO creative for society, so they just plain drop out for a while. Hence why all those kids I know are either punks, neo-hippies, anarchists, or hardcore bad*** rebels.

Also, I just wanted to note I'm shocked people haven't hear about situations like yours. Seriously, shocked. 'Course it's against the law of every state in the union, but truancy can be a bear to enforce, especially if your kid's living in a squat somewhere out in Gainesville. Usually, though, kids skip school because they are being "home schooled." That sometimes amounts to the parent periodically signing some paper and may be a bit more, hence why truancy law's a bear to enforce when parents are in on it. This is also the loophole through which kids unschool (Google it).

Answer 4

uhh im pretty sure u could juss go to the nearest board of education office thing and tell them ur situation and they will put you whereever they think neccessary. i think thats how it works but it might be diferent in Texas. but might as well give it a try.

Answer 5

You'll probably have to go to a continuation school. They aren't going to let a 16 year old take middle school classes and you're behind in credits. Your best bet is to pose this question to a local high school guidance counselor.

Answer 6

WHERE WERE U PARENTS?!?!

7TH GRADE DAMNN

UR GUNNA BE 16 IN THE 7TH GRADE UNLESS THEY PUT U IN HIGH SCHOOL BUT IN A SPECIAL ED CLASS

HAVE UR PARENTS REGISTER YOU FOR SKOOL DASS ALL

Answer 7

they will put you in middle school through the day

BUT they will make you take highschool courses in the evening,

and i'm talking about

nightschool you know....

3-6pm or sometimes even 6-9

you need to go to yout local department of education

or board of ed.

you need help, and fast, you are just so pathetic, how can you throw your life away?

education is free, its all we have.....

Answer 8

Psh, No you didn't don't lie. Your not aloud to drop out "till your 16.

And if you do drop out before that they call child protective services and take you to a foster home idiot.

Answer 9

You can take GED classes. I'm not sure, but you could probably get a tutor to teach you the years you missed. I don't thing you can enter the eleventh grade, because you have not completed said years before it.

I would go to your High school and ask the guidance counselors for help. They can probably tell you your options and give you better advice than someone off of yahoo.

Hope I helped!

Answer 10

Register,

Ask for the blonde  classes.

They'll know just where to put you ;)

Answer 11

You'll probably need to take online classes to get credit for 7th and 8th grade.  Most schools do not like to put older kids in middle schools because it raises issues like middle schoolers driving and teen pregnancy (not saying that you got pregnant or will).  Once you do that, you can take regular high school classes at a regular public school until you turn 21, which is the age at which (at least in Georgia) public school will not allow you to continue.  So, if you can get credit for 7th and 8th grade soon, you should be able to graduate from a regular high school.  Good luck!

Answer 12

Wow, I thought that was illegal. But anyway, go to the school of your choice and see if you can register

Answer 13

it's illegal to drop out in seventh grade.

Answer 14

First of all Spencer G is a complete moron because it clearly says in the question no sarcastic remarks.

Anyway, you will probably need a tutor and you will have to work much harder than anyone else. That is a lot of material to cover so I'll assume you will also have to go to some night classes or something.

After some time of that you will probably be able to get into a regular class. (ex.When everyone else your age is in 1st year of college youll be in 11th grade. Which is great anyway since you didn't give up.)

Answer 15

My mom always told me she would get hauled off to jail if I quit school before I was 16 or 17...I'm pretty sure it's not even legal.Your best bet would be to go talk to the school officials and see what they would do with you. I don't think you'd get very specific answers here because it's obvious your situation is unheard of for the most part.

Answer 16

That's legal???

You can drop out when you haven't even finished 7th grade?

Talk to the school counselors of course

Answer 17

That's illegal. You screwed up your life. GOOD JOB!

Answer 18

Get A GED

Answer 19

Hey! There is nothing wrong with a mistake you did in the past. The point is you are taking the responsibility to fix it. I would contact the Superintendant or school board in your school district. They should guide you to where you need to be. I'm sure your family and friends are going to be very proud of you. Take care, and good luck! :)

Answer 20

go to your high school and sign up to get your ged.
