School??
Ok im 13 and im in 8th grade..and im already tired of school. Ok? Like i have a lot of friends i just dont like people and all the drama with my friends so it takes all of me to get up in the morning and go to school. Then like the teachers are ok and all but they just put too much pressure on me and i teach myself better than they teach me. So i want to be homeschooled for highschool...my sister said she would do it i mean she works at home anyway. But my dad doesnt think its such a very good idea because then i may not get into a good college but i dont know if i want to go to college...i really desperately need help.. should i stick it out and try for college or just be homeschooled what would you do? Also im pretty much inlove with this guy actually im fully inlove with this guy and we have our whole lives planned together. So we want to get married as soon as I graduate because he's joining the marines and like thats another thing... i was gonna live on base with him... so i dont kno what to do. I dont know if i want college and i dont know if i was to be homeschooled... i'm really thinking about it but then like i dont kno im just so confused can anyone help??
Sorry if this is confusing i just kinda wrote what i was thinking and my toughts are all jambled right now...please help!

Maybe give some free advice about: Work/School Relationships?
okay well ill start from the begginning...8th grade, supposed to be a funn year ... stick with school. Yea it might seem like you learn better from yourself but school is an experience in itsself, plus school gives yu a reason to get out of the house
moving on....
College ... i dont think it matters if you are home schooled our not...you would probably just need the money..bc i think a teacher has to recomend yu with like good grades..not sure on that one
moving on..
In "love" itsjust a word..orkay for starters how old is this guy? hmm because your only 13...dont move...when he comes back and yu still have feeling for eachother it is probably meant to be...and when he leaves say you have an "open" relationship...this way your not "dating" but once he comes back you will know for sure if hes the guy yu want...there are MILLIONS of fish in the sea dont just count on this one...uhmm i think that covered it all..hope this helped yu

Where shall I start?
I know what you're saying about 8th grade kiddies and they're infantile "drama". Unfortunately, that's just the way 8th grade is, and it's going to be like that no matter which junior high you attend. That's just how people are at that age. The majority of them only care about whose jeans cost the most and who is rolling their eyes at them. You're not really asking, but my advice there is to grin and bear it; just as you are, I suppose. You're almost done with it. You can stick it out a bit longer. And hey, what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger, right?
I'm seventeen, and I am home-schooled. And for the record, home-schooling would be easier than you might think, believe me. I like home-schooling -- it is the right decision for ME. I, personally, couldn't be happier. However, before I jumped into home-schooling, I attended public school for my freshman year. I'm begging you to do the same. I'm not sure what your opinion of high school is like, but if you believe what you see in the movies, you're in for a huge surprise. Don't movies only show the prettiest women in the 00 size skirts? Yes. But, is every woman drop dead gorgeous and in a 00 skirt? Not by a long shot. And, do movies show only the most unbeliebavle teenage romances? Don't they look wonderful? Wouldn't they be a dream come true? Of course. Is that the way real love and real life are? No way.
You've probably heard a ton of rumors about all the terrible things high school upper classmen do to "Freshmeat", and you would think high school would be like that. But, believe it or not: high school kids are very accepting of differences. If you want my personal opinion, I'm guessing it's that way because high school homework is hard enough. Everyone is basically just trying to get through it. The work is tough on mostly everybody, and since that's so... no one has any time or need to pick on anybody else.. because they wouldn't want it done to them, ya know? Junior high kids walk around like they own the place, like they deserve respect. And really, I think everyone should deserve respect. But high school kids (from what I've noticed) have the mind set of, "give respect to get respect". That being said, as long as you're a polite person then you shouldn't have any troubles.
And if what I just told you about the homework being tough scares you, and that makes you want to switch to home-schooling, think twice. Just because you're taught from the comforts of your own home does not make the work any easier. It might be a relaxing environment that lets you think more clearly and concentrate better, which would be helpful, yes. But, that does not make the worse any less easier. Infact, it might even be more difficult. The reason I say that is because you can get online schooling (which is the way to go, by the way). And with online schooling they're pretty good with providing you assistance, but you still have that whole dilemma of having to teach yourself. And teaching yourself Chemistry isn't exactly easy for everybody.
Basically, please try out public school before deciding that home-schooling is the thing to do. Getting good grades and being accepted into college (or at elast obtaining the high school diploma) is what you're in high school for. However, the most important thing you will learn is not math, is not the works of Shakespear, or the French language, it's the plain people skills. High school is one big learning experience, inside of the classroom or out. High school is the last and biggest shove into "the real world". High school is where you will learn a plethora of life's little lessons; important lessons. I'm just asking you to think about this, and test this out. Go and see what you're getting yourself into before you pull yourself out. Be optimistic, you may like it. You may love it. Whatever the case, you need to live it.
As for your plans with this guy, it's nice that you have someone you feel so close to, and it's great to have dreams. Marriage is a long way away, just remember that. I say that if you do infact wind up being home-schooled, that things will either work out with him, or not. And maybe if they don't, then you two weren't as strong as you had previously thought. Or if you end up attending a public high school, I think you'll be surprised at how much life will change. You're 14 (probably?). You're not a baby, but you're still a child. I'm 17, and I'm still a child. Hell, I'll still be a child after a few more years. Growing up is a long and tedious process. I can tell you right now that I am a completely different person than I was at 14. I'm sure you will notice the same in a few years - that's just how life is. It's funny like that. I've just always been one to believe that everything happens for a reason, and if you can not find that reason, then there must be a reason for that, too.

I dont have much time to right this answer so i will come across to the point rather quickly. I am an 8th grader too. Sure school might seem that way now. Believe me you are going to want to have a social life in high school ( go to parties, meet more friends, etc..) I strongly suggest you go to highschool and attend college. You will be happy you did in the long run.

It's winter. It's tiring. It's boring. It's school. But, hey, there are going to be tons of boring and tiring things in your life that you aren't going to be able to pull yourself out of. Why not go to college!? I mean, you want to make a living for yourself, don't you? And as for this boy, you don't know if you're going to marry him.. that's such a long time from now! I think that right now you need to live in the today, not the future. Take things one at a time. For now, stay in school, keep your head up high, and continue dating this boy. But making big huge plans for your future could be bad, because if things go wrong, you won't know what to do. Tomorrow is a gift. Concentrate on today and live it to the fullest.

I understand what you're saying about school. I'm in my last year and at points it's felt like battling through a minefield of stupidity and melodrama. However school is the best place in the world for meeting people you get on with and learning to deal with life in general, and yes it will most likely be far easier to get into college if you go through the normal route. Personally while I think homeschooling is awesome for education-working at your pace etc, it can be quite alienating both at the time and later on- when you're an adult you will be missing that common experience with other people who went through highschool.
As for this boy, you could well be right and you two could well end up getting married but 4/5years is a long time and you are both going to become very different people. If you two really are in love you going to highschool will not break you apart. You have years and years to decide whether you want college and marriage or not.
In the meantime i'd give highschool a try. It's much easier to drop out of highschool to be homeschooled than it is to try to enrol in highschool halfway through a year.

i think you should stick out the rest of highschool. its the best years of school of your life. it doesn't matter who you are. and that way, if something horrible were to happen with you and that guy then you would still be able to support yourself. i know its tough now, but it WILL get better, trust me. you just have to keep thinking positive and do whatever it takes. you'll find you are very happy with the decision you made later on.
