Im scared to go back to school. A teacher that hated me accused me of vaping in the bathroom and when she called the principal, he believed her because I have tardies due to suspected asthma post covid. I don't want to go back to school. It's gonna have 2000+ kids in it and I'm scared I'll have to deal with the bull again. I might just drop out at this point. I'm a legal adult, I'm allowed to. Sure it'll mess up my relationship with my mother but hey, someone has to take care of the kids. Idk what to do.

    hi, you should do what you think is best for YOU in the long run. i understand where ur coming from, it’s an awful situation to be in. maybe you could try online schooling? or you could drop out like you said, maybe online schooling will keep the relationship with ur mother a little better than fully dropping out. but if that’s to much pressure then you should definitely drop out, we need what’s best for ur mental health.

    Online schooling and GED programs are always an option. Plus trades can pay a whole lot of money if you do training and certification programs after that. I’m currently in manufacturing and I got my own house at 21. It’s more like a shack really but I’m fixing it up. School isn’t everything, and looking out for yourself is important.

        I haven’t gotten a GED myself but a friend of mine did and she said it was a lot better for her, so I can’t really say how well it would work for you

    If you do you can always get your ged. That's what I did at 16 for health reasons

    I finished my high school experience with an online public school option. They even provide computers for you to work on. You should definitely try that before deciding if you want to quit altogether!

      ive tried that. kids got me kicked out because they didnt like me

        did you try. K12 or connections academy? Neither of those options should have that issue occur. I don’t think k12 had any calls with other students at least not the years ago when I used it

    Personally I don’t think you should drop out. How close are you to finishing? Is there a school counselor or trusted teacher you can talk to? School can be really overwhelming (especially with 2000+ kids) but I’m confident you can get through it and move on to bigger and better things.

      ive tried this school, ive tried a second school, and ive tried online school. i couldn't do any of it. dropping out is my only option

    Personally I would stay in school and just try your best to get by if you’re in your last year. I decided to get my GED and it was okay, but it’s effected me enrolling in colleges and getting jobs and I honestly wish I would of just tried to get by. It’s a different case for everyone but I personally wish I would of just did my last year and gotten my diploma.. the year went by so fast and I just wish I could go back and do it. I would see if there is an online option for you through your school, or even an alternative school option through the district. For my junior year I did partial online and just isolated most of the year.. Like I said, it’s different for everyone’s individual case, I just wish I had thought my decision through before doing it.

      Ive done online schooling, ive gone to a different school, nothing has worked. And i forgot to mention in the post that I'm gonna be a sophomore again this year, and i was already a freshman twice.

        yeah I mean honestly, without knowing much of the situation, I’d try to fight through it. I was bullied terribly and missed freshman year for being in an RTC, and was escorted by police in class once’s for cigarettes on campus… it was terrible and I hated it and wanted out but in retrospect, I had made it through all those years already. I wish I just finished. Although things like GED seem the same as a diploma, lots of people unfortunately view it as less than. I’ve been denied admission to my colleges of choice, been told I don’t know enough for jobs, and was scorned by my family and it was worse than any years of school ;-; Again, if I could redo my own personal experience I would..

    🙏 wishing you well friend. High school were by far the hardest years of my life but now they seem like a distant memory. Is there anything that powers you through? Possibly a pet, a friend, or a particular teacher/subject/class?

      Ive been in three different schools and nothing has worked. i was trying my best too.

    If you think dropping out is your only way, get your GED. See if they offer anything at your public library. May I ask what happened that it didn't work?

    • MarshallTheGayest

      i was completely unable to focus because i couldnt engage with it. and my mother made me feel like a complete failure and told me to go sell my body at sixteen. so yeah, it didnt work out

    Reading this reminded me of when i was in school and the Vice principal accused me of fighting when i was only walking my sister across the the quad 🤣 ahh how i hated school because of peers and teachers. I ended up getting my GED in the end it took some time of studying but it was well worth it.
