I'm almost 15, I'm extremely overweight and have focusing problems. Kids make fun of me at school no matter what . School has made me suicidal, I already cut myself and I can't take it anymore. The legal dropout age here is 18, and I can't wait that long to get out of school. I tried homeschooling, but I have a bad procrastination problem( My mom is at work from noon-4am and my dad leaves at 3am and doesn't get home till 7pm) and have no parents to help me due to their schedules. My mother said she would allow me to drop out and at 16 get my GED, go to a CC and then a vet. school. The thing is, I'm not at legal age to drop out, is there anything I can do? I can't take school anymore, I know it's bad to drop out but it's literally killing me and I'm NOT going back. Anything helpful would be appreciated. Do you think I may be able to convince a judge/ the state to let me legally drop out at my age? I already have good grades and such.
Thanks.
