homeschool
I need advice. well, i hate school so much. I alwasy have. The thing is i get straight A's and I am very popular. Yet, I have gross teachers that i feel uncomfortable around and some of them are pervertive. I have no friends in my classes and the only time i do get to see my close friends are at lunch. Anyway, I am so depressed about school so my mom said she'll homeschool me. I was so thrilled by the idea ut i have to take a few things inaccountant. Like I'm not going to be able to see my friends as much, people will wonder why i left because I'm so well known, and if hihgschool we'll be harder for me to adjust to bc/ I'm getting homeschooled for the next 2 1/2 months until school ends. Please tell me what you think. I mean I really want to get homeschooled because I have major depression in my life because of school but also, i don't want to miss out on the school dances and 8th grade. But I'm still questioning is it worth it, I am so confused!

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Personally I think you would be best off finishing your time in school. There are a lot of obvious advantages to being home schooled, but you would also be missing out on a lot of opportunities. I left school half way through my A Levels and although it was the best choice for me at the time, looking back now I slightly regret it. I missed out on a lot of fun with my friends, I missed out on a lot of 'moments'and I didn't come away with any real qualification.
I know that school is horrible sometimes. I was bullied badly for 2 years and I was so miserable I took to hiding under my bed to get away from going but running away is never the answer. If you only have two and a half months left, it will be much better to stick it out and KNOW that you did everything you could without running from the situation. Also, if you get homeschooled now, it will be a lot harder to adjust when you move up to High School.
If you really do think that some of your teachers may be perverts/paedophiles, it may be best to alert someone to this and/or move out of their classes if you can.
Also, you say that you don't have any friends in your classes. Why don't you try to get to know them a little better? See if you can make friends with them and if you can't, at least you only have a couple of months left. Then you get to make a fresh start at a new school and you can try to make some new friends there.
Hang in there, you will be fine and in years to come you will look back and be glad you stuck it out.

Well... I am somewhat curious about how you're so popular yet you have no friends in your class... but, putting that aside, I think you should stay in school. Talk to a guidance counselor about the teachers and try to get switched out of their classes. And try to talk to the people you don't know. Ask them a question about the homework after school one day, and who knows, maybe you'll hit it off.

Well, I was homeschooled in 8th grade. And everything was a wreck, but that was my fault.
I went to a homeschooling program where I go to a school and pick up my work for the month and then return it the next month.
I was homeschooled because of depression. And everything didn't exactly go better because I slept inn most of the time, the work was a lot and I could never get it done on time. I'm not trying to say that you shouldn't be homeschooled, I'm saying that you should have a really good plan for this.
I wasn't the type of girl to really go to dances and parties, so missing dances wasn't really a problem. But, I did lose contact with my friends and I felt alone. It wasn't that my friends didn't want to talk to me or see me, they had friends at school to make plans with, and since I was gone, they really couldn't make plans.
I believe that you are depressed about school right now. I really do. But, just think about your decision. Is school really bad enough to leave right now? Is it truly enough to make you not finish out the year and finally get to your new school?
I'm not saying you shouldn't be homeschooled, I'm saying that it may not be as great as you imagine. Friends are everything. And I think if you tough it out, you'll be stronger and be able to take on just about any situation. Middle school really is a drag, I hated it too.
But the good side to homeschooling was not really being as depressed. I felt somewhat closer to my parents, and sister. I didn't have to spend another night worrying about what would happen the next day at school.
If you do decide to take homeschooling, make a really good plan with structure. That is a really big thing you'll need. Just know that any decision you make, it will be ok.

I think finish the SCHOOL YEAR..
Sounds like there are plenty of good reasons to finish 8th grade even if your not with your friends..But at the dances you guys can go together to dances [ you`ll have some end of the school memories] Actually i also think homeschool goes longer then regular..
I also had this similar problem in 7th && 8th grade but i actually decided not to do it && really i had hardly any friends but still i wanted to do the end of the year stuff && it might be a while til you actually can get homeschooled this year && you`ll have to go to that school anyways..It takes alot of time to get started [It did for my two aunts atleast]
