The problem I have is that basicly last year in 9th grade I really didn't do too well, I had all f's do to my absences and basicly because of my choices. (Yes, I really regret it.)
So, this year i'm in 9th grade again, but it's odd, I don't have the same classes I've had, it's all different, since I thought i was going to have the same subjects from last year just to earn my credits. But, I already discussed with the counselor that I would take english 1 over this summer. So, I have english 2, which is weird because am I earning credits for my sophmore year?
and I got like 3 classes i've never had in 9th grade but, I'm just confused as to whether i'm a freshman or sophmore..
I am concerned on this because I flunked a grade when I was younger then now 9th and so I'm 16 in 9th grade and will be 19 prob when senior.

Also, I was wondering- If I am just repeating the 9th grade again, then is there any I can bump up to 11th grade by making up some credits for 10th grade and 9th over summer?
I mean I'm already taking like 3 10th grade classes which is odd and like the 2 9th grade classes.
so, is there any possible way I can get back on track at 11th?

I'm sorry, but I've read and re-read this and can't figure out what your question is. If you do have a question, I suggest you ask your counselor directly.

This actually ended up happening to me in High School. I didn't have poor attendance, I just didn't care. What I ended up doing is having a full schedule and passing every class from my sophomore year until my senior year. I had almost a full year's extra worth of credits by the time I was a senior and my school let me do duel enrollment in college in order to take business classes.
What you need to do is treat your whole life like you're in school. Look at the paragraph that you wrote and see how many mistakes you can find. Do your home work. It's stupid and illogical to do school work at home, but it's what you need to do. Also keep a good attitude.
Get some help, like a tutor. There are a lot of people online who would be willing to do it. Luckily for you, most colleges don't look at your freshman year when considering you, so don't be too hard on yourself.
And to everyone who is saying that this kid won't graduate and continuously putting them down... shame shame! That attitude is probably why they haven't done well.

It doesn't matter what classes your taking. Your grade level is based on the total number of completed credits. You are a freshmen, but if you can catch up over the summers, you may be able to graduate with your old class

If you have all of your credits completed by the time you are supposed to be a senior then you can graduate early and be out on time. Talk to your counsler about it, he should be able to give you a plan to get through your classes on time.

You're a freshman, if you were retained. So even if you're taking more challenging classes, you're probably still working on credits for your freshman year. The credits from classes you've failed don't count.

I highly doubt you're going to make it to a Senior. Don't you have parents?

check with your teachers and counselors. you also might want to see if there are students your age in your classes.
