My best friend finally convinced her parents to homeschool her. Next week will be her last week in public school. I will be totally depressed and alone without her considering she is my only friend. I'm not a people person so I don't want to talk to the counselor and she is really mean anyway. My mom said I can be homeschooled next year but I need to be homeschooled now!!!
School gives me a bad feeling and makes me and my friends anxiety act up big time.
I need help here people and advice ASAP! I need to be out by next week!!!!!!!!!!

i disagreee with that other guy home schooling does not " socially cripple " anything iv been home schooled for the past 3 years and i graduate in 2 weeks and leave to be a Army ranger, i was pulled out of school because the schools dont know how to but out , they think they can tell parents how to raise their children,lol not ah, didnt slide with my folks. if your already in high school you might not want to switch over between 9 and grade 12 because it messes with credits depending on your state laws.

I have a feeling that your parents concern has to do with planning your homeschool program. If that is the case than check into independent study programs at your school. You may be able to finish out the school year by doing your work at home and meeting with an advisor at the school once a week. This will give your parents time to plan your curriculum.
I am also not a people person and understand that a public school setting is not the place to meet people unless you are a social flower, however I would encourage you to find activities to participate in outside of your home.
Volunteer activities, youth groups, and/or music lessons would provide you with the opportunity to meet new people. These activities are actually much more representative of who you will meet in the real world than a school setting anyway.

I agree that you should be homeschooled. Going to public school was tough since I grew up in a house with 20 other siblings. Even now, I sometimes help my mom take some of the kids to school since both of my parents get up early to go to work and can't watch the kids in the morning. As far as homeschooling, I think it's a good idea (just try not to end up like my strange homeschooled neighbors next door).

So you are feeling a little freaked out that your friend is leaving school so quickly? And worried about how the rest of the year will go?
Consider your parents wants and needs in this, ask them if you must. Are they prepared to homeschool you at this point? Do they have a plan in place? Are they able to get one in place fairly quickly? Put together your resources?
The best thing to do is just to sit down and talk with them. Listen to what they have to say and share your feelings. Something may be able to be worked out sooner, or maybe not. If not, then spend the rest of the school year focused on the fact that you'll be homeschooling next year. When you see somebody you don't get along with, walk along with a smile knowing you won't see them every day next year. Things like that.
Good luck!

Both of you girls will miss school. You probably dont think so, but you will. Your mom first needs to contact your counties board of education and give her reasons and have a complete curriculum for the rest of the year. Does she have time to homeschool you?? Its very time consuming and alot of responsibility!!

So...let me get this straight...because you are not a 'people person' and find "real life" too hard to deal with...you want to hide from it by doing the home school thing.
Are you going to also start a business at home after you graduate? I'm just asking because there's a whole lot more people out there AFTER graduation than there is in high school.
My point is...life is tough. Are you going to hide from it or are you going to reach out and take what you want.
Home schooling is going to cripple you socially. You are going to hit the real world as an adult and not know how to meet and talk to other people. Then, we will see you back here posting questions like...How do I meet someone? or How can I talk to this cute guy I see at the mall?

Tell them that you will return the favor by working fulltime and paying your share of the mortgage/rent, utilities, food, etc.
