Graduating early so I can get out of this town.
has anyone here graduated early, or is trying to? see, last year i took a class most people in my grade didn't, and will take next year. so i'm already ahead in math for most people in my grade, so i don't have to double up. but i'm thinking of doubling up on a lot of stuff. i might take 2 maths next year as a freshman (geometry and algebra 2) and whatever i need to do to graduate early. so, how do i go about doing this? i'm really not sure. and if you have, how much earlier did you graduate? is it really hard?
the reason i want to graduate early is because i moved here a few years ago (from Florida to Maine) and I really really hate it here. I've tried to like it, and it didn't work. And while you're young, you're supposed to really enjoy it, and this is supposed to be the best time of my life, supposably. But it hasn't been since I moved here. So I just need to get out of here asap. Like, I'd rather go to high school back down in Florida, but my parents obviously aren't going to move back down there just because I want to, so I have to wait until I'm out of high school and everything, I guess. Yeah, help?

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
I think waiting a year after grad. to go to college is a great idea, a lot of colleges like to see students who have gotten some "real world" experience under their belts. Just be sure that you /do/ go, and don't get caught up in life without school.
I'm graduating early, as well, I'm supposed to be a junior come fall but I'll be a Senior. It was a little tricky for me to finnesse my schedule so that I met all my graduation requirements, but I'm a year ahead in all my subjects anyways, so it wasn't too bad. Usually the only problem with graduating early is that people don't have their math or english credits...but it doesn't sound like Math will be a problem for you and I don't know about English. I decided to graduate early as a sophomore, so I was *pretty* lucky that I had taken enough of the required classes, but since you're going into Freshman year that shouldn't be a problem. You can either graduate at the end of junior year or a semester into senior year. If you want to double up on math as a freshman that's great, but if you're going into geometry anyways I don't think you'd necessarily need to. I don't know how the math classes work at your school, but I was in Algebra 2 as a freshman so I could get into Calculus 2 as a junior...so if it works pretty much the same way maybe you do want to take Algebra 2. Depends on what you want to do in college. Take AP Classes if you can.
If you want some advice on what classes to take, email me your grad. requirements at Nevaeh314@gmail.com. Hope I helped!

This question made me laugh, because clearly you're intelligent, but you're also a creature of habit. What I see is that you hate Maine because its not Florida, they're polar opposites. If you graduate from HS early, then what? Go to college at age 16? That's difficult, but do able. You have no patience either, which is a problem. You need to learn that, you need to accept some things for what they are, and they can not be changed yet. There are solutions to the school problem, with your intelligence, it would be easy for you to go to a private boarding school for gifted youths. I'd look into one in MA, we have a great education system here. Worth a look. Hope I've helped.

My friend's older sister graduated a year early. She took all accelerated classes & she didn't have any study halls. She also took classes during the summer so she wouldn't have to take them during the school year. In the beginning of 11th grade, she almost had enough credits to graduate & by the end of the year, she was able to graduate early because she had the required amount of credits & she had a decent GPA. Hope I helped & good luck with everything!

I did not graduate early, or graduate at all for that matter only because im 16. But I know a few people that did. They took summer school classes to get ahead such as taking geometry this year in school then take algebra 2 in summer school. They all graduated their junior year. And I don't know if it was hard, but I do know that you have to really want it because you don't really have time for friends or to do anything. I dont know if you need more information. So if you do leave a message in my inbox. Oh yeah and they took a few classes and the local community college
*Good luck*

Talk to your parents and guidance about this, cause graduating early isn't a promise of getting away. Your parents might feel you were too young to leave, or any schools you might want to apply to might not want to accept you a year younger.
It might not even be possible. I graduated a year early by taking extra courses, no spares and some summer school. I certainly couldn't have done it without the help of a few teachers who made sure I had exactly what I needed to graduate and helped me with all the paperwork.
