Im from Europe where ppl start HS at 6-7 unlike here where many start when they're 5..its a real big embarrassment that some students r only 15 and they're also 11th graders.. my counselor is a dumbass and doesnt know what she should do in order for me to graduate earlier.. I've failed once, but have 16.5 credit points and need 22 to graduate, but my counselor still wants me to take classes like science in which i already have enough credits. That ***** also put me in geometry1 which is for freshmen and sophmores.. who can I get help from in school or what what can I do to only take the classes I havent tooken yet in Hungary (my home country)?

Nope. You're not too old yet. Don't worry about it, just keep doing what you are doing, and graduate. You will be glad you did, in the long run of it all. Maybe you don't trust your counselor? If you have trust issues, then you are holding yourself back from succeeding in school, and in life. You can ask your teachers for extra help, after school. Most are happy to do that, if a student shows they want to be better. Good luck.

Does it really matter how old you are? If the classes are at the right academic level for you, that's all that matters. Getting an education is more important to live a better life and get a good job later on.

I'm not sure how to handle the counselor thing but let me tell you something.
Everyone has a different pace in life. Yours might be a bit slower but it doesn't matter as long as you gain knowledge and do good in life, you'll be ok. Don't stress yourself over that, do good and enjoy whats left of your high-school years :P

is there some type of college in your area (even a community college)? if so, you can pay and take classes after school, which double as high school and college credit classes. then you'll probably be the youngest in the class :P

no!! stay in school and get your high school diploma. my son is your age. he was already one of the oldest since his birthday is in Sept. you have to be 5 before Sept 1 to start kindergarten. he repeated 2nd grade so that make him even more older than his classmates. it doesn't bother him he is going to get his diploma
you are not the only one that is 18 in high school. stay in school and get that diploma
