Highschool...

[Kamikaze_Badger]

the schedule here on the farm makes homeschooling nearly impossible. That and my mom works all day as the accountant/manager/etc of my step-dad's freelance electrical and construction work and our livestock. We also don't have enough money for private tutors or anything.

If you get kicked out then join the Army when you're of age. Be like a Bradley gunner or something that is safe (repairman). Once you get out, a college will be like

 

"omg GED noob"

 

"no u be teh noob he was in the army he pwnz"

 

"good point, welcome to harvard"

HSS: The army requires you to have a highschool education or the equivalent of one.

 

And I can't get a GED untill I'm 18 .

well as for rumours...if people already think they are true, just agree with them calmly. rising to the bait is mistake numero uno. if they carry on still, i suggest ignoring it. let people take the piss and they'll soon get bored - trust me. i used to get picked on (small and geeky) a bit, but couldnt be arsed in the end. just left them to it.

 

and whos laughing now?

 

me. im 6'1" and at a Redbrick University studying accountancy, while they are all in dead-end jobs earning a third of what my STARTING salary will be.

 

stick it out. you know you have to, its just dragging yourself to do it!
