I'm Scared to go to School?


Question Posted Sunday February 17 2013, 2:09 am

13/F

I'm Scared To Go To School. A Lot Of Things Happen There, And I'm Only In 7th Grade! Example: People Bring Drugs, Knives, Etc! The Other Day Someone Got Stabbed (That's What I Was Told) And Now I'm Scared To Go To School. I May Go To Homeschool In High School Throughout Then I May Go On An Online College.

But Anyways, I'm Scared. I Want To Move, But I Sort Of Want To Go To Home Schooling NOW. I Just Don't Know How To Tell Them In A Way So They Understand.

So What Do I Do? I'm Scared That Guy Will Go After Me Or Something. I Don't Really Want To Go To School Anymore :(.

just get over it,believe me homeschooling isnt a good idea,u go to school and you learn how to comunicate with people,with homeschooling you can get very antisocial i think that youre experiencing anxiety,panic disorder,its not serious but you need some pills because it can lead to depression and thats bad,i suggest you talk to a shrink it may help u a lot :) (ive read lots of book about mental disorders haha)

If you just heard about the stabbing and didn't actually see it then you shouldn't be worried cause there are always going to be rumors in school about something or another. It's just up to you to believe it but to be on the safe side try to avoid those kind of situations where something like that can. You shouldn't go to Home Schooling because you will miss out on alot of things in regular school don't forget high school is the time when you can make more friends by joining a club or sport. Don't forget there are also dances,football games, and other activities you will be miss out on. Just really think about all the good stuff you will miss out on if you decide on Home Schooling. I hope I helped and made you really think about a decision like that.

I understand how you feel. As someone who is old enough to be your grandfather I am going to offer you some grandfatherly advice.

First you must tell you parents what is going on in school and that you feel unsafe. They then can have a meeting with the school administrators to see what can be done to make school a safer place for you and make you feel safer in school.

The world we live in can be a wonderful and exciting place full of adventure and discovery. It can also be a place where there is danger. Danger though does not lurk around every corner and is usually well defined to where it occurs.

I'm 66 years old and people have been bringing drugs to school since I went to High school. It is something the administrators strive to find and remove those students from school when they see it. Bringing weapons to school is something that is relatively new. If you see someone with a knife or other type of weapon report that student to the nearest teacher or if your school has one the police resource officer.

You are entitled to an education in a safe environment. It is unfortunate that things like this go on in school. The drugs are not a danger to you for no one is forcing you to buy them. Weapons are a problem;if you see one you report it to a teacher.

You cannot spend your life running and hiding from the dangers of the world. The dangers are out there. What you can do is make yourself aware of where those dangers are most prevalent and avoid those areas or those people.

While home schooling will remove you from the dangers you fear. It will also rob you of your rights to the social activities that are part of schooling and a part of learning how to make your way in the world as you grow in to adulthood. Running away from problems solves nothing.

By telling your parents what is happening in school they can talk with school administrators. If your school happens to be in a district where the disadvantaged make up a good portion of the students, which may and probably are the cause of your concern. A transfer to a school in a better area might be arranged.

So talk to your parents and let then know exactly how you feel. Let them talk to the school officials. Home schooling should be an action of last resort.

If you didn't see it with your own eyes or hear it with your own ears, you can't believe everything that your told. Just avoid people or tell your parents. They can make a complaint to the princable and he may take it into his own hands and hire more resource officers.

There really is no other way to go about this other than just telling your parents you want to be homeschooled and explain why. This is actually very responsible of you. Ill be happy to help you find a homeschool program and information so you can at least have something to show your parents so they know you are legitimately afraid and that you are completely serious. My contact information is on my profile. Just click my name. Good luck. I'm rooting for ya kid. I'm here if you need the help.

On another note. I completely agree with Adviceman on this one. It will cut a ton of socialism out of your life.
