How to talk my mom into this?
13/F
A lot of people talk crap about me at school and I'm just getting tired of it. There's nothing I can do, so please don't say "tell someone" or whatever because I've tried everything. But anyways, I'm just getting tired of it and I want to be homeschooled. Some people that talk crap moved to the schools I was thinking about moving to, so they'll just say stuff about me and have MORE people not like me.
How can I talk my mom into letting me be homeschooled? I always have a parent here to homeschool me, so that's situated. But how do I talk my mom into saying "ok"?

I'm really not sure how to talk your mom into letting you be homeschooled. The best thing to do is sit down and talk to her and maybe at least ask her to think about it. Explain your reasons.
I was homeschooled through middle school but I didn't like it, only because I hated no one being around except for my brother. But there are different types of homeschooling. I had one where all the work was on the computer. I had my account and I would do my reading and then worksheet on the computer. My mom had a separate account and can just check up on it there.
Then there is the type of homeschooling where you have actual textbooks and do all of it in writing.
My brother did a type of homeschool where he would do work at home and maybe once of twice a week he would go to a school and the teacher there would check his work. My mom just made sure he did the work. They also had field trips with other kids who were homeschooled.
Anyways, just look into it, talk to your mom and see maybe which one could be right for you.

My answer will be just a little different from the others. I know a couple of mothers who have home schooled their kids. Neither found it to be difficult nor did it take up a huge amount of their time. Thats not to say it is a responsibility that your mom would want to take on.
First, you need to look up online as much about homeschooling as you can. Bookmark pages or save links to stuff that should answer any questions your mom might have.
Next, you will have to tell your mom, in great detail, WHY you want her to take on this responsibility. You will have to tell her how you are feeling about the way you're being treated at school now. Be honest.
A LOT of the responsibility for doing homeschooling the right way will be up to you.
There are a lot of things you can do online &
you have to knuckle down & do it. I'm not real
up to date on the subject but, I think there are state tests you have to pass each year. You
will have to also let your parents know that
you are willing to do the work.

I didn't read the other posts, so excuse me if this has been said.
Life throws a lot of things at us and expects us to learn from it. When it is something that happens over and over, that means we are not learning the lesson life has for us. This is the kind of thing that makes us who we need to be to get through life. We deal with people like these all our lives and you obviously have learned that this is not who you want to be. So many of our lessons in life are learning what we don't want to be. But, I would ask you, do you not want to be the object of learning for others, for they are living the same life, they need to learn too. We travel the path to learn and teach, don't let them damage your spirit. Understand!!! What we are and our reason for being. You will be a wonderful spirit, for you "know" now, now learn to "understand", then we work on "excepting". Be well dear spirit.

I cannot tell you how to talk mom into home schooling you. What you are asking of her is quite a lot. What you are learning today in school mom may have not seen until College. That is how much schooling has changed since she was in school. Yes the subject matter is the same but you have been receiving it at a faster and higher level than mom did. Mom may not be prepared to take on this task. Even your teachers at school go to school to stay up with the subject matter they are teaching as the curriculum and how it is taught changes that fast.
Like anything else though if you truly want to try and convince mom that you want to be home schooled. You need to research the materials and cost of what will be needed. What Mom will need to do to qualify to home school you and what home school certification companies your Board of Education recognizes so that you can be home schooled and what they charge to supervise your schooling.
Once you have done all this then you can go to mom armed with everything she needs to know to make an educated decision about home schooling. It is or may be actually cheaper and give you a better education to find a good private school with smaller classes. Where the teachers can better control the harassing you have been getting.
Most of all you are going to have to tell your parents why you want to be home schooled.

Honestly, I doubt you can. You can ask her, but home school, especially at a high school level, means way more than just having an adult around the home to do it. You'd basically be asking your parents to take on your education as another full time job between them AND they'd also need to be willing to spend a good deal of money on materials, text books, and training for themselves as well.
That might not want to live that way, and nothing you say is likely to convince them.
You might look at online courses, or internships or placements outside of the school. Those are far more likely to be workable solutions for you.
