    i have a great desire to be homeschooled- i am extremely unhappy and uncomfortable at school, i started high school this month and i know it's only been three weeks but i really feel that i would benefit so much more from homeschooling, i've learned a lot about it and it fits me so well- everyone tells me not to quit, that i'm running away from all of my problems if i choose to be homeschooled, although i do not view it that way- i feel that, especially during this time in my life, i need to be out of an institutional school, out of the classrooms with the plastic chairs and uniforms and chalkboards and lectures, and have the day for myself, i want the day to belong to me, not the school

    of course! the only thing is my mom is totally unsupportive (my dad just kinda follows my mom) and she refuses to let me get out before december. i could go on and make a huge list of things i dont like about it, my friend and i were deciding what we liked about school, and i came up with i liked walking home :confused:

    ...

    I experienced exacly the same problem in high school. I tried to quit and finish the school by only going to the exams. But my parents didnt let me. So I went to high school for "6" years, normal length is 3 years here:)) ... It was only Torture. I'm sure you have already heard it enough, but don't forget this, you will change by time. And you'll change in a way that you cant even dream of .. If you decide to quit, be sure that you'll not regret it. One more thing, running away from school, going to lessons with a stoned head, drinking in breaks is ultimate fun when I think of the past. Give it a chance and try for a few months more ... I know its hard. Love ....

    it's not only the negative things about school, its the benefits of homeschooling

    I advise you stick it out until the winter. Making lists about what you don't like about school is not a good idea.
