You need to look at the bright side. You are older and bigger than the other kids. You can be their sports hero. Also you have a chance to have all of them look up to you like a big brother. Protect kids from bullies,work hard academically and make better grades then help other students because you know where they are coming from. I suspect your home life isn't the best. My home burned when i was 6 my mother could only cope by drinking.I spent my childhood having to deal with a drunk. Which sucks donkeyballs. Just hunker down and find something that motivates you. My Thing was art i won awards and became somewhat of a celebrity around school.I got lots of attention but could still play the bad boy because i had lived a rough life. find something you like in school and it will help you in all subjects.My brother couldn't handle it and dropped out In the 8th grade after failing a couple of times.He regrets it to this day .

I was two years behind school too, and I homeschooled. I registered with an accredited school, so the courses and books and everything are prepared by the school. I studied WHOLE day for months and caught up now finally, and i am going to graduate soon so it's possible, and yes, homeschooling helps restore your self-esteem but... there's a lot to sacrifice. I was really depressed back then too. You have to build up self determination to finish up your assignments (at least that's what i have to do because my parents can't help me), and you have to self study and research (again, my parents can't help me with math or anything). You would also have to give up classes, sports in school, and all the fun times you might get with your schoolmates.
So yeah its a difficult decision. But if you don't want to waste a few more years in high school, i say, go for homeschooling.

Please stop using the schooled-labeled "behind" and recognize your natural gifts and talents and things that you can do. Most kids fall into the "average" category at school which says that most children are not learning well the way that schools teach.
Are your parents willing to home school you? Are you trustworthy enough to be left alone with your own studies?
I suggest that you buy the book "The Teenage Liberation Handbook: How to Quit School and Get a Real Life and Real Education" by Grace Llewelyn. It is LOADED with resources for self-study, ideas for apprenticeships, how to go to college (college isn't the only way to go), starting a business, etc. There is also a chapter on how to present the idea to you parents; lets face it, you will need their permission.
You can do it, throw off the labels and begin anew.

Homeschooling is a possibility. The only thing is that you'd have to have your parents or some other guardian on board. There are state standards that have to be met!!
You would also have to be quite self-disciplined. Overall, you'd have to research your state's qualifications for getting a diploma and then start purchasing the curriculum and going from there.
I honestly think you could do and be a better person for it. That kind of self-discipline really build character. You would just have to keep up your motivation and create some goals.
Good luck!!!!

I can see how this would be depressing. Schooling at home would be an excellent option for you if it will work for your parents. If you should be in the 11th grade then you are old enough to spend the rest of this year preparing to take the GED and get on with your life.
PColaSuns gives excellent advice.

It is possible to catch up with homeschooling. The catch is that you become responsible for your own education. You have to do a lot of work. Your parents can hire a tutor for you, or tutor you themselves. Tutors are expensive. If you are really serious about it, get a GED study book and study that. If your parents want to hire me, I can help you work on a plan to convince your parents and the school that you can still graduate. But that is only if you are serious about doing the work. I can't help you if your not.

First off- inform the flipping main. Second- Try a few tutoring, that would aid rather a lot. And Third- You will have to make an try to speak to this instructor. Because that is instantly up fallacious, and he is being a d**kweed.

Yes, you could definitely homeschool and catch up. Lots of people do it.
