Question

I started homeschooling at the beginning of this school year. Im a junior and Im really freaked out b/c I dont know what to do about next year and my parents arent helping me at all. I home school myself.. Please help!!

Answer 1

You graduate when your parents, or your school program (correspondance, online, etc.) gives you one.  A diploma they give you is worth the same as one from any public/private B&M school.

If you plan to attend college, you need to take the ACT and/or SAT to gain admission and earn scholarships.  You'll also want to make sure you have all the prequisites the college/university requires for high school.

You and your parents need to keep a portfolio of your work and a transcript of all your courses.

So, you need to see where you're lacking in credits, either for college admission, or to meet any requirements of your state board of education.  Do the things I said with a test, portfolio, and transcript, and you're all set.

Answer 2

You home school yourself?

That might explain why you missed five apostrophes in your question.

This is why I don't like home schooling.  

Qualifier:  for some gifted kids with well educated parents, it works really well, and for others who have had difficulties socially, it is the best possible solution.  

For a lot of kids with holier than thou and/or overconfident parents, though, home schooling just turns out another generation ill equipped to cope in the vigorous workforce of the real world.

Good luck.

Answer 3

Take a deep breath.  Everything is OK.  Truly.

You are caught up in the idea of "school" which you learned about for many years.  You are free now.

First off, get this book and read it: http://lowryhousepublishers.com/TeenageL...

Secondly, what are are your interests?  What do you love to do?  What would you have done if you hadn't been trapped in school?  Go do it now!  

Take courses at your local community college or adult school.

Get some support for yourself.  And hang in there.  Everything is fine.  Really!  Check out this site for support:  http://homeschooling.gomilpitas.com/expl...
