Should I be homeschooled or go back to public school?

Question

Ok so im going to be a Junior this year and last year my bestfriend of 4 years just came to school one day mad at me, and I still to this day dont know why, but anyways she like turned everybody agains me and I go to a small school like less than 100 kids, but now there are only a cpl ppl that still talk to me and Im a dancer so my mom wants me to just be homeschooled so I can dance during the day like other ppl I know, but my bf thinks ill never see him cuz he works and I dance, so im really confused on what to do right now, I know I shouldnt run away from my problems but u should see how small this school is, and everybody knows EVERYTHING about everyone so it really sucks I just dnt want to be miserable every day and not be able to concentrate on my school work..So does anybody have any idvice..?

Answer 1

First off you said you didn't want to runaway from you problems,so don't. But if you want to dance bad enough then go for being homeschooled.

Second,being homechooled isn't always great. Yeah you get to stay up late,wake up whenever and go places other kids can't during the day. But think about it,your so called "friend"(s) you wouldn't get to see them that often. Or your bf for that matter. Considering he works and you dance. So you'd have to find a way to fit time to see him and your "friend"(s) in the picture.

Third,going to school is great. You get pushed harder,to do your school/home work.

Fourth,try talking to your "friend" about why she came to school mad at you. Think about things,maybe you promised her something and didn't do it.You get the idea right? Maybe you did something not on purpose but accidently and it upset her.

Last but not least,think about EVERYTHING you would have a chance to do a school that you can't do being homeschooled(without the school system having a big fuss over it) Certain sports that you might want to do and other things. So just think about all this and i hope it helps.

Have a blessed day and wonderful week. :)

Answer 3

First of all, never make a life decision based on what your boyfriend wants. He's not your husband, and at your age, isn't likely to ever be your husband.

Second, if you were in a work situation like that where you weren't able to resolve the problem, would you stay? And would leaving be a sign of running away? No. As long as you've tried to fix things, the other people have to be willing to do their part, too. If they aren't, you can't make them. If you decide to walk away, feel no shame if you've done all you can.

Is dance something that is a part of you, something you see doing for a very long time, perhaps even professionally? That's a definite good reason to homeschool.

I guess I'm encouraging you to homeschool. What reason would you have to go to public school? Your boyfriend? That's not reason enough. You could end up breaking up during the year and then what would your reason be for being there? Unless you can find some serious reasons to stay in public school, don't go back.

If you do homeschool, do try to stay in touch with any friends you might have, ask your mom to help you find homeschooling groups that may be around so you can connect with others... Switching from having people around you all the time to hardly anybody can take its toll on many people.

Answer 4

Homeschooling sounds like it will give you a chance to follow your passions and devote your time to dancing.

Most people have friend challenges so whether you homeschool or go back to school, there's always going to be difficult people to deal with. That part can get better.

Don't stay at school just to please your boyfriend. If he loves you, he will want what is best for you and if dance is important than homeschooling might be the best choice.

Best of luck to you!

Believe me, I understand tiny high schools!  There isn't all that much "social" to stay for -- maybe a couple of clubs -- but homeschool probably has a whole LOT more opportunity for you, to get your education and devote time to dance.  Sounds like you already have some friends who are doing this, so surely it must be working out for them, it can probably work out fine for you too.  As for the bf, well, if he really misses you he'll call and text, write, pass notes, something to stay in touch and get to see you!  If he doesn't, he wasn't really yours to start with, so get on with your life, there will be plenty of time for romantic relationships later on!

Answer 6

Honestly, whatever you choose, don't do it for social reasons.  I know they all seem huge right now, but I promise, they're not.  You'll look back someday and wonder why they seemed that way.  

If homeschooling would give you the time you need to do what you really want to do, then I would say it may be a good idea.  It does take a lot less time and it does allow you to have a MUCH more flexible schedule, so those would be good things.  It also does not have to hinder your social life at all, so your bf can relax :)  Actually, because you'll have MORE time, it may be easier to see him.  (And if he's interested in a long-term relationship with a dancer, he needs to realize that at times, dancing takes more of your time than he does.  Everything balances out, but he does need to realize that.)

Whatever you choose, do it for you - not for them.  Do it because it will benefit you in ways that the other choice won't.  Do it because it will help you to prepare for your future and to achieve the best education and training possible.  It's your future, not theirs - do what's right for you. :)
