Oh! My heart goes out to you and I will pray for you! I know how hard it can be in a school like that!!
PLEASE ask your parents to homeschool you!!
There are 2 ways to do it (the way I see it). If you are close to your parents then just ask. If you are finding it hard to ask in words, then write them a letter. Before you do, see if there are online highschools. Go to google and type in your state and FREE and ONLINE and SCHOOL. That is how I found out that there is a free online school my kids could do. However, I didn't want to do that and decided to do the homeschooling in a different way. Also, look up (google) Dr. Raymond and Dorothy Moore. They have a website and there are articles if you peek around the site a bit that explain all the different methods of homeschooling. Print out that article and print out what you can from the online free school if you can find one and bring that to them along with your feelings.
I am afraid for you because when I was in your situation, it didn't take long for me to start thinking about suicide and many other bad decisions. I made a few bad decisions to "help me through" the time, but it was worse at the end.
I pray that your parents see what you are feeling.
To answer on of your questions about the affordablility of it:
I don't work & my husband brings home about $400 per week. We make it fairly comfortably. Curriculums can be expensive or they can be cheaper than what I use.
There are so many choices! A pre-made curriculum can cost from $150 to $2000. If you get the books yourself from a bookstore you can spend $10 to $20 per class per year. Or you can go on ebay or other used homeschool curriculum sites and get the same books for $1 to $10 or so. (plus shipping) The library is a great place to get books and sometimes you can do a whole class at the library so the cost for that class would be $0 plus the gas or bus ticket to get there!!
Feel free to ask me a question if you need more information about anything I've said. (or if your parents need to know more about how to find stuff)
OH forgot to mention go to HSLDA website (google it) and get your state's requirements before you talk to your parents, also.

Maybe you could talk to your parents about an Accelerated High School.
Most kids in these schools are very friendly and their only goal is to get school done. If you went to one of these schools you could also take their at-home courses and go to the regular school and graduate much earlier than a normal school.
The cool thing about accelerated schools is that you can generally choose how long you are going to be there during the day based on how many classes you sign up for.
I went to an accelerated high school and graduated when I was 16. I hate normal high school just like you do so I know where you're coming from. I went to school from 9 to noon and took 3 at home courses. I thought it was a blessing.
Hope you get this solved! Take care.

I feel for you ! I know its awful to feel so left out and isolated but you have to hang in there! Join some clubs or after school activities that will allow them to get to know you and find out what a fun person that you are! Just be yourself and put yourself out there to meet people who WILL want to be your friends! The worst thing you can do right now is isolate yourself from everyone and not even try! That will be lead to depression, eating disorders and you will be even more miserable then you are now. Your parents might not have the time, the financial resources to have one stay at home to teach you or to get the material needed. I know that it is hard for you at school, I have been there,but all you can do is give it your best shot ,find your own interests then draw other people to those interests. Always, always be true to yourself. Please don't give up!

hi, before talking to your parents ask God's help by praying to him...ask for God's strength to overcome your shyness and tell your parents your problem right now...why should you be shy when they are your parents they will surely understand you...to think that you are really adjusting to the new environment..tell them that you're performance is being affected by the unconducive environment that you are in right now...ask them if you could try a year of homeschooling and then try to look later on for another school who could have people in authority who can help you in developing friends with their students this way you will get the same problem that you are experiencing right now...life in the real world is like what you are experiencing, just be confident and stay as you are and pray that God will help you in changing your situation right now...hope you get the answer you want . God bless :D

You may want to try asking them without beating about the bush and maybe elaborating on why you think you want to be homeschool-ed by telling them your feelings. Also, if you think you can't get those words out of your mouth, you can also try writing a little note or letter to them and see what their reaction is. Whatever the case, your parents love you and they will do whatever they think is good for you. So, just pray to God that your wish may come true. God makes the impossible for us possible.

Tell them that you simply feel you'll be a far greater scholar when you studied independently. BTW, I'm a homeschooler and I inspire you to move for it! Not a lot persons do it, however its greater than university through one hundred instances in view that of such a lot of factors and plus, you will not need to pass thro the distractions that you simply pass thro at university.

Home school is not a way out for social problems. It is a serious adventure. Talk to your parents, I know I would want my children to tell me. Your parents probably would like to hear of your concerns and will try helping you through this stage of your life.
I heard there are virtual schools now.

simple. tell them exactly what u said here, how u feel about school and then say to them i would like for u to look into having me home schooled. it can cost but if they do their research maybe it won't break them much. u can do ur research as well in case they have questions.

just tell them how you feel! and if you are to shy to talk to them face-to-face, you could write them a letter or an email.

I just asked mine, right away. And they thought about it and agreed.
Try being straight forward.
