I really don't enjoy being around other people. I know I can do it, but my dad doesn't think I can. Hmmph, he's not a very good father if he doesn't support me, now is he? He knows how much I hate people, he works all day. How do I prove to him that I can do this?

I can NOT concentrate with people around me. I shouldn't have to suffer because they act like clowns. I want to and I shouldnt have to change my mind. I have friends -- But they are MUCH older but more mature. These kids--pfft, they belong in preschool or something. They mess up and get the teacher yelling at all of us!I HATE being yelled at!

I'm willing to do anything to get out of school. And for all those people saying I should love people, when I fly! Don't gimme this religious stuff. I'm sacraligious (sp?) and I will never turn to that again. I should have the right to be homeschooled. I have been teased, bully and whatnot by all people. I have been backstabbed, lied to and promises are broken. They say they will come over but then they say 'OH, I cant make, maybe another day?' Honestly, I feel like saying 'If you can't make a promise, then don't keep it!' but I can't. I just nod and just pretend it didn't happen. I'm NOT a people-person. My dad is making me go out. What's the point? I rather be alone, I'm a loner and I always will be.

Have you tried attending an alternative high school where there is less informal classroom instruction? Check with your local school district for more information.
-Also, every town and city has a Homeschool Club where parents of homeschooled kids meet weekly or monthly. Find out where and when that club meets and attend a meeting and see if you can possibly be taught by one of the parents or if they can refer you somewhere.

Hmmmmm.... there are some rather unsettling clues in your question that make it look like you would not do well anywhere without an attitude adjustment.
1. You hate people?????? That is NOT a good reason to home-school. It is not a good reason to do anything except keep your head in the sand where you won't have to look at anybody.
2. You are disrepectful to your father. Claiming that he is not a good father because he has to go to work to support you will not help convince him that you will be a good student. It is not a good idea to bad-mouth the person that provides your home, clothing and food.
The only way to prove to anyone that you can study is by doing it. If you are in public school and are not studying and getting really good grades then nobody will believe that you are willing to do a good job at home.
Prove to yourself that you can study at home by finishing your work in the classroom everyday, doing your homework and THEN adding to it by completing extra work at home. Do one more math lesson and get all of the answers correct, write extra essays every day, memorize 10 new (good) vocabulary words every day, and read for at least 2 hours when you are at home.
If you excel to the point that you reach an higher grade level than you are at in your current classroom MAYBE your dad will see that you can "do" homeschool.
Learn to love people instead of hating them. Read your Bible and find out how God loves everyone and tells us that the most important commandment is to love other people and help the poor.

You're just like me. I live in memphis, so you already know I'm surronded by ghetto wanna be gangters getting the whole class in trouble!! When they act up and act like animals its hard to concentrate PLUS the teacher doubles our homework. We always have food fights and real fights. I mean, if you just look at someone they get all in your face and want to jump you. It's not fair. That's why I'm in homeschool now and I make strait A's. Trust me if your school is the way you say it is homeschool would be the best option. I still have all the friends I did back in school. My school time is 4 hours a day and I'm in charge of my own time. I get to decide what to do when to do. But I try to stay as organized as I can with my work. I don't have a teacher. I just teach myself. and if I don't get something, i got my mom brother dad and internet.

What grade are you in. If you are high school, courses like English, History, Economics, Social studies can be done. You go to the teacher(different location from your school)once a week, get the home work.
Sooner or later you will have to deal with people. If the people at your school are meaner than normal then u should do this alternate schooling.

The reason why we stopped was one, I was stinking at school and needed serious help (at 1st grade) and two, the kids there were being so mean to me even the teachers.
Home schooling is mostly for kids who need special help in school like me and my brothers. Home schooling is hard and easy at the same time. You have longer school time 9 to 5, less time to play, and not as many friends. I would suggest you stay in school, if you don't like your school ask for a transfer, but I really think you should stay.

If he is out working all day, he is supporting you. He is probably just "scared" because if it doesn't work out, he will blame himself. And I'm sure you don't hate ALL people. Maybe you should try it out in the summertime, like at a learning center, and then go full force. Show him that you ARE committed to learning, then maybe he will give in.

i think you have home schooling and independant study mixed up.... home schooling you have a parent at home teaching you just like if you were in class, that parent goes to meetings once a week with other teachers to make sure they are doing stuff right, independant study is where you go once a week and meet with a teacher to get, turn in and be tested on what you have learned.

I hate to break it to you, but it's not all about you sweets. Sit down and have a talk about your parents and tell them WHY. Then ask why you can't.

it sounds stupid but ts a bad idea to become anti-social. just because people bother you doesnt mean you should avoid them, this will make it worse and make it hard to fit in in any job. you have to deal with people.... its sucks but you just have to leaarn to deal with them.
