Getting a G.E.D or High School Diploma?
So, I just turned 18 3 months ago. I dropped out of high school my sophomore year. I was an above average student, but I started doing poorly and eventually just stopped attending. I was having problems in school with bullying due to sexual orientation, then those same problems transferred to home after they found out about it at school. Apart from that my family split up and I was left with my father, he didn't force me to go back to school not that I would of anyway in that past state of mind. I was very depressed as well as physically ill due to my deep depression.
Well it's been 3 years now I'm now better, I want to get my G.E.D or if possible maybe a High School Diploma, but I'm more inclined to a G.E.D because I don't want to have to repeat all of my high school year. I'm a pretty anxious and troubled person, when it comes to very populated scenes. I'm working on it, but it's very difficult. :(
After earning m G.E.D I would like to go to a tech school for culinary arts. I've searched online a bit for information but I feel very lost and anxious about all I've read any guidance at all would help. I'm looking for a college in or near NaperVille / Elk Grove Village / Bensin Ville Illinois to sit down and attend an actual class or at least to take the final test after the information they hand to study. I would prefer it over earning it online.
I found a few sites about Illinois G.E.D test programs ( [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) )but I feel a bit over whelmed...and do to the fact my father doesn't understand much English I feel alone in this.
Can anyone help me at all?? Even a, "calm down it will all be alright." Will do me wonders...

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
hey bud, it's gonna be okay! I flip out around lots of people too,like I throw up. but I've gotten better. I learn to take a deep breath, and not even think about what others think of me. I'm overweight so I'm always worried about what girls think and stuff, but I've learned to love who I am and either people accept me for who I am or they can just jump in a lake!! Look a G.E.D is cool and all, but high school diploma looks better in your application. If you want,you can transfer to a smaller, 1 A high school or,if you want, a larger high school where diversity is more prevalent. All in all find out the requirements to the tech school you wish to attend and hit the books! I'll be thinking of you and just remember that YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

Hi,
I'm not local so my answer will be very general. First off, if your worried about being in a populated area it might be better for you to take the GED approach. In case your unaware its just a big book you read then when you are ready you go into an exam room and write a test. However if your looking into the Diploma, you best bet would be to go to a highschool and ask to speak with the principle, vice principle or even just a counseler about the issue at hand, they'll have information on where you can go, whether their school can offer you a "reinstatement" of sorts. If your looking for answers they have a tendancy of finding you. Keep trying and success will come your way.
Hope this helped
