Anyone who responds with something like "these are the best years of your life," "just push through it," "it'll all be worth it!," etc. is either so old as to be senile, the kind of ape who does well in HS, or both. Don't give me that ********.
Simon's Rock, a college with a freshman class composed of sixteen- and seventeen-year-olds, accepted me, but the $50,000 a year tuition is impossible for me to pay. I seek to write novels for a living and have received about a dozen personal responses from literary agents; two agents are currently looking at a partial manuscript. I know I am more intelligent than most people at my high school, and if I have to sit through one more painfully shallow literary analysis, be herded through one more day of bell-after-Pavlovian-bell, be around the mental incompetents who compose this shithole, I will scream.
What can I do? Homeschooling is not an option, thanks to close-minded mother. I don't want to come back after the end of this school year.
