programs to catch me up for public school?

Here’s the low down: I’m online schooled. I’m seventeen. I’ve been in every school situation you can imagine- public school for the first thirteen years of my life, private school for two years, public school for half a year, and I’ve been in an online schooling program for the past year or so. I slacked off sophomore year. I’m supposed to be a senior, but I’m still a sophomore because I never completed my courses. I know, bxtch move.

I’m considering going back to public school despite the fact that I suffer from social anxiety and depression. Up until now I was considering dropping out. I’d rather try than disappoint my parents, I guess. I don’t think I can continue with my online schooling because I fear I’ll get even more behind (more reason behind my endeavors to drop out).

Say I do go back to public school, are there any programs (preferably online) I could enroll in this summer to catch me up to my senior class? I’d rather be with my own age group then with a bunch of fourteen and fifteen year olds (my brother is a sophomore too, how embarrassing for me). If I continued doing online I could graduate from highschool within this year but again, it’s not the easiest thing for me and I get lonely.

Sorry for the novel.

I’m not sure when you turn l8 but many ps dont allow you to return to school at certain ages. And its for that very reason taht you described (being l8 and with l5 year olds is not a good situation for either side) Some ps systems have alternative school for older students. I like the advice though that you were given to try for your ged and see how behind you really are. You may not be at all. And pass. If you fail, big deal it juts answers your question (what you need to catch up) It will tell you where your weakness are. If its math, then you can take math classes trhough the GED program. They will help get you where you need to be to pass the test. Then start at your local community college towards your gen ed. IT seems like first year of gen ed is the same as high school to me.
Dont get discouraged and give up. You can do this and you will be successful if you dont let anything get you down. You did mention that you are having issues with depression. IT is important to get that taken care of and under control before you try to tackle even more in your life. Biting off more than you can chew is one good way to ensure you will sink deeper into anxiety. So go to a phd therapist and get counseling. Find the right medication (if that is what the problem is) and do whatever it takes to get yourself out of this mudhole your in. You have excellent writing and spelling so I sense that you are much more talented than you admit to. Your parents wont be disappointed if you do your best. Remember this is your life. You cant live theirs for them. Dont let them have control of all your choices. You need to start thinking about disappointing yourself and making yourself proud and let them own their own feelings. You cant be responsible for what they think or do.Take care, you sound like a sensitive caring person to me.
