High school pros and cons

[SapphireScript]

Hey people of CS. I NEED your wisdom!
Badly allright?

Heres my story:
I've been homeschooled all my life, and well... lets just say I failed grade 7. I cannot focas. I am dead serious, I have no self motivations, I will tell myself to do school and pound on myself to do it but I find myself not two mintues later with CS on and DA and FA what have you. I even turned my internet off and I ended up writing stories. So I blocked the storys. I ended up playing games, I blocked the games, I stared at my screen for a few hours then redesigned my computer. I want to go back to books but my mother can't do it like we used two. See I was recently changed to computer schooling and sence then I have just been plummiting down a hole I can't get out. I'm in grade 8 and I will repeat the year if I don't have the passing grade of 80% on everything. I've finished bible, and science. Both passed, but I sorta... kinda cheated on science abit. I know allright? I regret it fully! But you got to look at my part, cheating is no excuse but I failed science every year sence kindergarden. and I'm cheating on history to. But seriously I don't get it. I find no interest in anything so I can't do it. My parents allways say that I can go to public school If I wanted. But I really didn't think I could survive. I am the oopposite of normal. And I would be chewed out within the first day. I can stand up for myself but I know I will probly come back crying. Plus sleep problems as in, I do nothing all day so come night I still have energy so I'm awake. So I don't think I can get up early in the morning (anything before 8 is early) everyday and go to school all day and come back to do more school for 5 days every week. Just the thought makes me want to go crawl into a dark hole and cry. If you noticed I will be going into high school. So this is a huge decision. I made a few pros and cons myself so I just need your advice. I have nowhere else to go or to ask.

Pros:
If I choose highschool I will ask to go to a school where my best friend is going. If so then I can see her alot more.
I will probly havemore then two friends.
I will get exercise and loose my 20 pound weight goal.
I will shape up
Actully do school
Find out how to act normal

Cons:
Obvious sleep issues during the first three months.
I don't thinkn I can make it through a class
I will have NO idea where to go or how a school works.
I will most likely talk back to the wrong people
I am trained so well in the art of stupidity that I don't even have to think about it ;P
Studing... not my strongest thing.. or even weakest, I have no I frigen dea how to do it.
I'm a major procrastintor.
I can't write. My hand writing is the worst in the world. I can't even read it.
My only good subject is health and still.. not that good.

Allright my goal in LIFE:
To get the job of an animal officer, I ace zoology every year and I have a huge interest in animals. Plus my father is a plumber and we often do yard work. Plus I know the down side to it. Like disposing of dead animals, going into houses filled with garbage and reaks of bile. And into hot areas and deal with people who are well unmmentionable.


but seriously Do the cons outwiegh the pros?
If you've gone to high school please answer this. I need to know because its my life and it shouldn't be in my hands.

im homeschooled aswell. i have tried public school (got taken out at the end of the year...there work is just SO easy!)
and i must say all i had to worrie about was the popularity. guys. and of course the preppy girls who thought they where all that (only cas i felt that if i wasint careful they would go home with some broken bones....along with there boyfriends)
1. But adjusting to sleep is easy....do alot of activity. you will be worn before you hit your bed.
2. Studying....its easy too...try taking notes and stuff then reading them over.
3. Mouthing off....well...if you got the strength/guts then go ahead...if not then dont aggervate the preps (there BFs are usualy football people).
4. stupidity....yup me too...i would just be yourself...it works.
5.
4. Making it through classes isint too bad. if you know what there talking about doodle on a notebook...i filled up about 3 lol but put notes in it too.
5. Schools...you get used to them....they just kinda go. you dont really questin how they work.
6. get a handwriting book and FINISH IT!
7. there school is easyer than what homeschoolers do...im almost posative of this.
8. and yea procrastanation....i do it too.

Is it really that easy? Cause I find Home schooling very hard ;..;. Its lik eI perfectly understand the lessons and ace it but when it comes to the test I comepletly blank. Like I don't even know what I'm looking at blank.

Another problem I might punch out a few people...

Oh good cause I really hate being on my butt all day.

So reading the lesson over again kidna?

Well I can controll myself to a point. I'm getting better!

Not sure about me. I have short hair thats dyed blue and I wear out of fasion clothing cause I like it.

Mabye I'll get better at drawing ;P.

I guess you just kinda go with the flow?

I'll try!

Oh good. Still I get quesy just thinking about it. I mean I failed grade 7 and I am just passing grade eight. I don't know if I Will survive.
I get a headache just thinking about what I want to eat. I shouldn't be able to controll my life.

Thanks a lot for the help! I really appreciate it.
This is a huge choice and I'm so stressed about it. Nobody else is helping me, my brother says I will die the first day and my parents just give me that "ya right." Look.

Go to high school. You need the social exercise when you're young, simple as that.

Homeschooled kids often act up and are completely out of place in social situations as adults- not a good thing to get into.

[Soyokaze-Kensei]

go for it!trust me,and you'll find this when your fininshed school,school days will the best days of your life!

[SapphireScript]

I go out still I'm not sheltered. I go out to youth groups and camp so It's not like it's a new thing.

My brother is very popular. Almost all of my town and the town beside us knows him and places actully called us to get him to work somewhere. He's been homeschooled all his life :/.

[fweetfweet]

yea just go for it!!! i blank on tests too. but trust me its worth it!!!!!!!

[MiniHorse]

I think you should go to high school, and about that studying thing. What about Studying WHILE on CS? Like every 2 minutes of CS you have to read 3 pages. And try training yourself to do a routine.


GO TO High School, you'll meet alot of people, and you won't know the way, some people WILL tell you the way. I mean, when I went to middle school, I had NO frickin idea where to go x3
I got lost on that day.. Kinda lol xD

So you should go, and maybe you'll find someone you'll like

Did I froget to mention I'm a christian with blue hair :3?
Around here I would get beaten up just going outside ^-^*
When you look at the schools around here its alot of.. Crimey stuff.
My brother won't permit me to go but I'm still wondering. Right now I'm supposed to be doing school and well.. How's that working out?

I am not normal though kay? I like the idea of wearing ears, I have characters on a ipod with christian music. And I hate the latest styles of clothing. Not to mention I'm not good around people so I will probly be an outcast.

[MiniHorse]

.. I'm halfy an outcast too, but I'm KINDA like you, except with a differentish type of personality, but not that diffferent. And I've survived all my years.

Try acting like you do on CS, it may make you feel better, and may help you survive
