I'm nervous to go to parents about this so I'm asking on here first
I do plan to get my high school diploma even though my graduation year should've been 2026
I'd still have quite a bit of credits needed to actually graduate but I do plan to work really hard for credits
Is it a good idea? Could I even still get the diploma??
I know a lot of people end up getting their GED but I really want my high school diploma for university.
I was taken out of public school 2 months into 8th grade.
It was my choice, but this homeschooling wasn't what I was told.
I'd have to wake up at 5 am every day to cross the boarder for school and I'd still get there late.
I thought homeschooling would be a good choice because I saw my mother doing it with my younger brother.
She told us it would gives us a chance to learn more about what we'd like and give us time to travel for learning.
It did for a while, but eventually things went down hill.
I'll admit my parents warned me about homeschooling and didn't want me blaming them for shit.
At first I did really well, until I started slacking off completely.
I finished my 8th grade year on Acellus and eventually switched to Nobis Pacem.
Which I did intend to do but it was in another language I wasn't familiar with 100% and I didn't know how to ask for help.
My mother worked full time, and my father is a teacher but isn't as active in our lives (he lives across the boarder and he lowkey scares us)
I just avoided it.
My mother found out I wasn't doing school after while, it always broke into fights but ultimately I didn't want to go back to public school because I was ashamed and felt left behind.
After Nobis didn't work, My mother gave me Easy Peasy High School Website to do work.
But I sort of knew my mom had given up on me.
I'll also admit that I had been lying to my parents about doing School, I was scared and didn't know how to ask for help.
I don't remember this point of my life due to my life changing completely and my relationship with my mother got worse.
There was a point where I did almost finish 9th grade with Easy Peasy but when the University talk started coming up from my father (he was highly against the homeschooling shit) and I freaked out and ruined all my school work. I was just really scared about the future, and didn't want to go to university since I felt stupid and unready.
I've avoided doing school since then because I've felt useless and stupid, I've been really good at lying to people about my school work.
But I'm 18 and suppose to finish high school but I literally haven't.
My brother is also extremely behind on school and it stresses me out.
I know most of it is my fault for lying but I'm so stressed about my future, I don't know what to do.
I'm scared of my father's reaction, and everyone's around me really.
My mother knew I was ripping and destroying my school work and I don't remember her doing shit about it.
I know its not her fault but I wish someone had cared a lot more about me.
I want to do school again, I do plan to but it's so scary to think that I'm just going to get judged and rejected.
