Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Take it from someone with experience, homeschool is wonderful. I've been in public schools my whole life and just last year I was pulled out to homeschool. My reasons were similiar to your friends. Sure, I do agree everywhere you go people will judge you but that doesn't mean you haveto try and learn in that negative and distracting enviroment. Tell your friend to explain all of her reasons to her parents for her educational choice. She will need to be very mature about it and give them the facts. Don't raise your voice or yell and try to be very calm even if they don't understand the reasons just quite yet. I hope she finds the best form of education for her. :)

People are going to judge you no matter where you go. They judge you in life, thats a really bad tradition and habit of humans. I would suggest to save the money and use to for college. When you go to public school, the will judge you but dont let it bother you. Just ignore them. If you get homeschooled you wont have the chance to meet people and interacte with them. Take my advice and go to public school. It will help you socially and finacially in the long run.

Anywhere you go, you will get judged, you can't escape it. Even if "she" goes to a boarding school or whatever, "she" is still gonna be judged. Schools liek that are very expensive and have the same education as a public school. It doesn't matter what school you go to. School is for learning and if "shes" judged, tell her to suck it up and have her tell those people to shut the hell up.

does she have good grades?... there always is an options of scholorships and stuff like that. and there is like a lot of ways to raise money if this is somthing that she really wants to do. she can get a job and save money and like in a year or 2 she can get transfered. if she is good at sports try to get a scholorship on that.((u said that she wants to go bc ppl judge u at public n private skewl but im pretty sure that might be more of a case at a boarding skewl bc most of the kids are extremly rich and spoiled 'prolly preppy'))
glad to help .. plez rate

All I have to say is that you'll get judged anywhere you go. If you walk down the street and pass someone ans they happen to look at you you're being judged. If your friend can't go to a private school because it's too much money and tuition for a boarding school is too much too then she'll just have to deal with a public school. I go to a public school and it's easier to avoid people you don't like in a public school because you don't have to sleep there like a boarding school. Being home schooled can prevent your parent(s) from providing proper care for you because it cuts down on work time. So a public school is a better bet.

Well, in my town there is these little schools that are there for when you get kicked out of our schools..they aren't private..only a few kids go there..But if she wanted to play any sports or do PE you can still do it in public schools..Have her look around for that..Please rate me!!

That's tough!! She is going to have to get used to people judging her and making assumptions about her wherever she goes.But,if this is about getting a good education,that's another story.I was homeschooled for the last half of all 4 years of high school due to illness,and missing so much school.She may want to look into getting a private tutor,which she can speak to her school counselor about.Also,there are several internet homeschool programs where you do your school work over the internet,and the school sends you the books and such.You're required to take tests and everything else.That might be another route to look into.Go to yahoo.com or google.com and type in something like Online Homeschooling and see what you find there!!Hope this helps some!! :)

It sucks that she can't go, but every where she goes she's going to be judged. That's life. There's nothing really anybody can do on this site that can help her. But, if she wants money tell her to start babysitting or get a job and pay for herself with maybe a little help from her parents. I think she should just go to the public schools. Good luck!!

I'm really sorry that your friend cannot afford the education she wants, but I think going to a regular school would help build what kind of person she truly is. No matter where you go, your going to be judged, but as you get older you learn who you are and to accept that person. It's a hard concept, but you have to face the person you are, and take yourself with a smile. You may find people that you don't care for, that laugh at what you wear or what color your hair is or "ew look at her shoes", but you need to overcome those standards and realize that you ARE a great person, no matter what other people say. If you are happy with yourself, that's all that really matters after all.
Hope I helped babe, and good luck with whatever you guys decide <3

If she can't afford it, public school may be her only option. If the only reason she wants to go to public school is so she won't be judged, then that won't work. Because people in boarding school judge others too.
If she really wants to go to that school she can check and see if they have any financial aid programs that she might be eligible for. Some schools have payment plans, grants, are work programs.

Well that is hard. She might just have to be judged. It is something that we all have to go through. If not now later in life. If later on she was working at a wonderful job that she enjoyed and payed good would she quit just because someone was judging her. I hope that she wouldn't. In life there will be things and obsticles that you have to over come. It doesnt help that she thinks about it either. As a good friend of hers( which it sounds like you are one) you should support her and help her get through these rough times. As long as she has a good support system then she can live life with out any fears at all. Just tell her to face the world head on. To stay tall and work hard at anything that she does. Another way for her to get her self esteem back is to help other people. Like volunteering at a local hospital or just having an advice column all her own. To help people with the knowledge that she has learned fromo dealing with her problems and helping someone else. It is almost like pay it forward. What you do is you do something nice for three people and when you do this nice thing you have to tell the person that exactly what i am telling you. Try to help her in anyway you can. It is a hard time for her.

thats true, that no matter where you go or who you come across, that youre going to be judged; not always in a negative way though. public schools sometimes dont give students enough attention as to where home schooling and private schools do, but i dont think anything is wrong with going to a public school. ive been to private schools and to public schools as well, and yeah, people are going to look at me and thinki something of me, but youll always find people who will like you for who you are and not judge you but in a positive manner. tell your friend that it wont be too bad going to a public school. you experience different things in public, and itll be a good thing for when she grows older.

look everywhere you go people will judge you. whatever school she goes to it will all be the same. this world is all the same. i know it sucks, but you're friend is just going to have to realize that and get on with her life like everyone else.
