PLEASE ask your parents to homeschool you!!

There are 2 ways to do it (the way I see it). If you are close to your parents then just ask. If you are finding it hard to ask in words, then write them a letter. Before you do, see if there are online highschools. Go to google and type in your state and FREE and ONLINE and SCHOOL. That is how I found out that there is a free online school my kids could do. However, I didn’t want to do that and decided to do the homeschooling in a different way. Also, look up (google) Dr. Raymond and Dorothy Moore. They have a website and there are articles if you peek around the site a bit that explain all the different methods of homeschooling. Print out that article and print out what you can from the online free school if you can find one and bring that to them along with your feelings.

I am afraid for you because when I was in your situation, it didn’t take long for me to start thinking about suicide and many other bad decisions. I made a few bad decisions to “help me through” the time, but it was worse at the end.

I pray that your parents see what you are feeling.

To answer on of your questions about the affordablility of it:

I don’t work & my husband brings home about $400 per week. We make it fairly comfortably. Curriculums can be expensive or they can be cheaper than what I use.

There are so many choices! A pre-made curriculum can cost from $150 to $2000. If you get the books yourself from a bookstore you can spend $10 to $20 per class per year. Or you can go on ebay or other used homeschool curriculum sites and get the same books for $1 to $10 or so. (plus shipping) The library is a great place to get books and sometimes you can do a whole class at the library so the cost for that class would be $0 plus the gas or bus ticket to get there!!

Feel free to ask me a question if you need more information about anything I’ve said. (or if your parents need to know more about how to find stuff)

OH forgot to mention go to HSLDA website (google it) and get your state’s requirements before you talk to your parents, also.

Most kids in these schools are very friendly and their only goal is to get school done. If you went to one of these schools you could also take their at-home courses and go to the regular school and graduate much earlier than a normal school.

The cool thing about accelerated schools is that you can generally choose how long you are going to be there during the day based on how many classes you sign up for.

I went to an accelerated high school and graduated when I was 16. I hate normal high school just like you do so I know where you’re coming from. I went to school from 9 to noon and took 3 at home courses. I thought it was a blessing.

Hope you get this solved! Take care.

I heard there are virtual schools now.

Try being straight forward.
