Question

i want to finish high school online i am 16 and want to finish 11th and 12th grade fast so i can go ahead and go to college and start my career but my parents dont want me to cuz they say its not good what do you think and how can i convence them to let me do it??????????

Answer 1

Actually, I hated high school and was bored out of my mind by shallow, twittering idiots and public school curriculum ceased to challenge me from around 2nd grade onward.

I convinced my Mom by finding a home-school assistance plan and went out of my way to ask for much more challenging assignments. Thanks to my Mom agreeing, I graduated when I was 16 and had a fun and interesting education. I got to study Anthropology, Psychology, Comparitive Religion, World History and wrote my first books during that time. Just do some research on what the "system" fails in as far as kids with more active minds and show her what you could possibly do on your own. That should convince her.

I do have to say, though, that my Mom agreed because I had been politically active since childhood. When I was in elementary school my step-dad helped me raise awareness of child abuse, in middle school I was working on Human Rights campaigns and in high school I helped get two environmental bills passed in FL so when I told her that I wanted to get out of the flow of nonsense in high school, and go ahead and start college for my degree in social work, she was supportive because I had already spent a lifetime of raising awareness.

Parents can be convinced easier if you wish to start college earlier to work on your life passion, whether that's social ills in my case or even computer science or business or something. Whatever it is that you are passionate about, they will likely support you in it.

Answer 2

I HIGHLY recommend staying in high school.

Personally, I had an amazing time in high school and although it definitely had its negatives, I wouldn't have left early.

My good friend on the other hand, definitely regrets it. He did the online thing and hated it... he ended up losing touch with all of his friends since he didn't see them at school but they were all still in school. You'll miss out on a lot of memories and everything as well.

Let yourself grow, don't be in such a rush to grow up.

Just remember-

Life is like a roll of toilet paper- the closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.

Haha. Good luck with your decision !! =)

Answer 3

If you're ready and mature enough for college, then you need to explain to your parents that a lot of kids actually do that and you, yourself, are fully ready. My parents tried to rush my brother, but I told them not to because my brother isn't that kind of person. He's your age, and he's taking AP classes to fulfill classes in college. Just let your parents know that you want to get ahead in the game, you want to jump start your career, and you're ready for college, mentally and physically and emotionally. They should see that you're motivated and let you do it! Good luck!

Answer 4

You need to stay in school because you don't know how to write or spell correctly. If your writing was as good as someone who had graduated from high school, I might be convinced that you were ready for college. You aren't.

Answer 5

Check to see if your local community or junior college offers a program called "dual enrollment".  In this program, high school juniors and seniors can take college level courses and earn both high school AND college credit.  Usually, you are limited to 2 classes per semester, but it's a good way to get started on college right now.

Answer 6

If your only reason to do the online is to cut off *one* measly year to get into college *one* year earlier, then I'm with your parents on this one, sorry. You're expected to live some 75 years. You've got lots of time to start your career and having to wait a whole 12 months isn't a lot of time in the grand scheme of things.

If you really want to speed things up, talk to your school. You may be able to do some correspondence courses on the side and summer courses next year and be done a semester early. Spend time on that than on trying to convince your parents to do something they likely won't agree on. Or someone mentioned AP classes. This will get you advanced placement into college and knock off some of your college requirements. There are other ways to speed things up than by doing online school.
