Tell your parents you're still adjusting to the new grade, and tell them if they give you another chance, you'll get a better grade. And stick to that. Remember to ask your english teacher if you can get any extra credit. And C's aren't that bad. They're about average. As long as you support your reasons of why you should stay in public school, your parents should understand. Nobody's perfect :]

Tell them. Tell them that youre depressed sitting at home. Tell them that youre human and that you arent perfect and all you can do is try. Please dont kill yourself or try. I understand youre depressed, but trust me, I've been where you are now. Try to get them to understand, that the only one whose perfect is God. As for us, we're only human, and thats all we ever will be as long as we are here on earth.

Talk to your teacher and principal. Tell them what your parents have threatened you with and have them intervene on your behalf. Be BRUTALLY HONEST with your teacher and principal and tell them how home schooling makes you depressed, you don't associate with others and had started cutting in the past.
Tell them you need their help to stay happy and healthy in their school where you are otherwise thriving except for one grade. They can assign you a tutor to pull it up etc. It's not the end of the world but do talk to them.
As far as them sending you to a hospital or mental health facility it's not going to happen any time soon. Unless you have shown signs that you will harm yourself and or are delusional nobody will have just cause to put you there temporarily.
Let's say it did happen (which it won't) aall that would happen is they would put you on prescription anti-depressants, give you therapy and keep you safe until you can handle being back at home and the symptoms that brought you there disappear.
It's not a brutal, awful experience as you're given a lot of love by the staff and support. Your friend's may have gone through a tougher experience but are slightly exaggerating that it's awful and horrendous. It's not a picnice but it's about getting you rested and well. I can say these things as I've been in one.
Tell your teacher and principal and get you and your family some counselling to deal with all these issues. I know things will be alright.

Talk to your parents. They obviously have no idea how much you love public school & how much you hated homeschooling. Also, talk to your english teacher and ask him about extra credit, re-doing a test you did badly on & possibly changing grades on some assignments you may have been graded unfairly on (for example, making an honest effort may often get a C bumped to a B-). Have your parents go in for a conference with your teachers- especially all the teachers whose classes you excel in. If they realize that you're realy trying in public school, and that homeschooling just isn't right for you, they may reconsider.
Good luck!

look, i think that only thing you can do is talk to your parents. they probably think they are just helping you but actually theyre destroying you. but they have no idea! you must tell them about it what you think and that you really have put all the effort in that you can.
good luck
