I am a high school freshman, female, 14yrs old. I recenetly decided to take summer school classes and cram my senior year of high school into my junior year, so I will only have three years of high school instead of the usual four. Do you think this is a bad idea? I mean, I will never be a senior (no senior prom, which I can live without) and everyone says high school is the best part of anyone's life but i really do not like my high school and how do I know I will like college better? Do you think this is a bad idea? Thanks in advance...
LoveNJstyle answered Monday February 12 2007, 6:47 pm: I think it's a good idea... I persoanlly couldn't do it because my school doesn't offer that choice but if did, I'd take advantage of it. School does get better as you go on but not that much better so yeah, be confindent in your choice. you can still go to prom... most schools have junior prom or you can go with a senior guy to get in or get invited after you've finished 3 years if you're still in contanct with any people from that high school. <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]

It's a very good idea to prepare for the future. But are you going to put to much work on your shoulders. Trust me highschool is hard enough with out putting 4 years of school into 3. With all that work you are not going to have time for your friends. All my friends who graduated say that the prom was there favorite part of highschool. You may not care right now about prom, but in the future I am sure you are going to look back and regret missing you senior year.
Beside the whole prom thing and missing senior year it is a good idea if you can handle the work load. Just think you are in grade 9 am I right, you may not think it's hard now but in the future like grade 11 you will most likely change your mind. But if you think you can handle it I say the power to you it's a smart thing to do if you can handle it.

You get a head start in the real world, while most people don't. The idea of it is actually pretty smart. And you have a prom in your junior year, so it's not like you need senior ball.

One of my friends loved high school and I hate it and it's your decision to not be a senior but it's not always a bad thing. You can always try college like at a local one to see what's it's like and if you hate it, you can at least be near home. You should at least try it because you never know. I hope I helped you!

xsilentxwhispersx answered Monday February 12 2007, 5:27 pm: well there is 2 sides to it. i think you should still wait it out and dont make any decisions that you will regret for the rest of your life, and maybe wreck your whole future. but i mean if you have a hole life plan, than sure.
It hard to say, i dont know what you hate about highschool, but im a freshman too, i love high school, but not the school its self, its a $hit hole and everyone is basically fake and lies. but you know, your way to young to decide that you dont want to become a senior. also, juniors can also go to prom i believe...my sister did, but she had a senior boyfriend, so i donno [ xsilentxwhispersx's advice column | Ask xsilentxwhispersx A Question ]
