Emotional problems keep me from attending regular high school (8am to 2pm classes, home room, that sort of thing), and tries at online and telephone classes haven't gone off so well, either. Right now I'm in the 11th grade. I've completed two grade levels in one year through a program that worked very well for me in middle school, but I've since moved and no longer have access to anything like it.
I need to know if there is any way for a student to take an equivalency test (or something like that) and graduate early from high school. (Kind of like how those child geniuses go to college at age 10 ^_^) I'm at risk of failing a grade unnecessarily because of emotional stress, and I don't want that to ruin my future. Does anyone know of any special needs programs that could help me? I've looked into all that I could find through my county's board of education, my therapist, teachers and all, but it seems I'm without help until I at least turn 16.

Last I heard, you would need to go through the GED program. Yes, the same one adults who dropped out take. A friend I had in school went this route and left for law school after completing the program and more importantly scoring well on the SAT.

Certainly! Anything is possible! You have a GED, which is considered the same as a high school diploma! There are International schools looking for persons who can teach english as a second language. Of course you can always continue your education and upgrade! More credits go a long way and also volunteer work.

you could go for your G.E.D or you could join an organization called Job Corpe and you can work and get your GED at the same time
