Lol, that's the thing. There's no work. I don't get in an online course until September 8, apparently. I wouldn't mind it otherwise, but fuck, I'm sick of it.

She is robbing you of a life experience. High school is important for more reasons than an education...

I hope so. I got halfway through the courses, and I'll be starting them again when normal school starts. So depending on when I finish those, I can start grade 11 courses. Still behind, but hopefully not drastically. And that'll carry over onto the next semester, which I'd hopefully be able to finish in the summer. Fuck it.
@197,527 (hamfist !!snnYcROO9)
Grade 11 level, the higher tier.

Is your mother a reasonable, rational woman? If so you need to put together an argument for attending real school, do your research, take it seriously. Friends, scholarships etc... seems like there would be a lot of truly good reasons to attend a regular school with your peers.

Apparently she's met with the principal of my old high school. I dunno what went on there, but I haven't been back.
The whole CBE is ruled out now, apparently. Which makes no sense, since I'm pretty sure that this online school is theirs too. It's called CBe-Learn, so. ._.

I get the feeling there is more to the story of you getting expelled or whatever. It probably couldn't hurt at this point to hint at a meeting with all three of you there, you're getting older now, its time you had a voice in your own life... don't ever lose your cool though, that never helps.

Perhaps that is her key to controlling the direction of disagreements. Keep your cool next time and watch her wrench it up a notch in an effort to break you, she may even just lose her shit lol. People are sometimes easy to figure out if you know what to look for.

Well shit... doesn't sound like you have a lot of options. You should probably plan and work hard towards an exit strategy asap, some kids get into college at 17, and early into being 18 isn't unreasonable at all, I guess it all depends on how important it is to you. The military might also be an option to think about. Doesn't really sound like a healthy environment.

Have you thought of getting a lawyer? You don't have to get emancipated, but maybe just forced to let you attend school? It might be worth looking in to
I'm sure a lawyer would take it on pro-bono. If not, we can do a MC fund drive.

Hmm. I'll either graduate at 17 or 18. If I get a job at some point, I'll have some money saved up and will get the fuck out and just wander. If not, I'll go straight to university. Military...fuck no.

Just get back into a school system. Deal with the people you are around. You're going to have to deal with people sooner or later so better trial and error in school situations than business ones. Just put yourself out there and roll the dice.

I had my first real job at 14, worked mowing lawns through high school and went into landscaping the summer out of high school. I didn't really live much at home after I was about 16 though, lived with friends and had my first place at 18 and kids at 19. I never did go to college... always wished I had, and I think a lot about still going.

You meet people. Living in a dorm away from home helps you mature, and the social interactions are priceless. My friend and I who didnt have that experience were very much behind our other friends (in different ways).
You can also get a job working with lots of people in your age group. College makes it easy though.
You also are on your own. Your parents aren't there to tell you to do your homework or whatever, so it teaches you to be a capable adult.

You have kids?! Shit dude. Ages? Do you see them often? How did I forget that tidbit.
Nursing is good, but it's hard. Money is insane. Recession proof (always a demand for nurses). It's stressful. Many places are understaffed. Male nurses are in even more demand. I was going to go for nursing, but realized it isn't for me. I'm not good with people for obvious reasons.

Exactly the reasons for nursing, I might like to move around a bit when my kids grow up, I can live dirt cheap so saving up that extra money would be fantastic as well.
