17 year old female
So...yes. I had a 3.5 GPA in my freshman year of high school, and then it declined to a fairly steady 3.3/3.4 GPA. It consistantly drops towards the end of first semester, then shoots back up with finals. Despite this regularity, it's dipped down lower than ever to a 2.5 this week. My parents have threatened pulling me from school before, but this time, they're not giving me an option.
It is currently the first semester of my senior year, and for the last semester, they're considering home schooling me, sending me to a charter school, or making me drop out and get my GED.
I realize that I don't match the academics of a school system very well, I think this over too much, and procrastinate like no other. But my friends are at my school, and I cannot emphasize enough how important they are to me. My friends have saved my life, quite literally, more than once, and to take me away from them would kill me. Once again, I can not stress enough the importance of my friends to me.
I never dreamed in a thousand years that I would be a high-school dropout. I had high hopes of going to a local college for journalism and writing for a living. I wanted to go to college and experience that, becuase every account I have heard says if you didn't do too well in high school, you'll excel in college. But I'm not being given that opprotunity.
I don't know what to do to convince my parents not to pull me out the last semester of school. But I'm desperate enough to consider emancipation. That may be my irrational upset talking, though. Help?
