Home More advice Parents & Family
So I am in the 7th grade and have been home schooled my whole life and over the last 3 weeks I have been begging my mom to let me go to school (Imagine Chartter school Land O Lakes) and she thinks it is sooo bad and that I will be abused and stuff I hate homeschooling and I feel like I am not learning. plus have a horrible social life and I have to live with 3 sisters 24/7 any Advice on how too get my parents to let me go to school ? I need some help! thanks
Hun I went to a public school and I can somewhat understand why she home schools you because its not as great as you think people try to pick fights with you for no reason if you are a girl other girls will always start rumors about you even when they don't know your name when you are a new student the boys look at you like fresh meat and if you are a guy you will go through a lot of preesure with other guys always talking about unprotected sex with every girl in school and drugs and alcohol in high school every one has their own group to fit in unless you are different and try not to fall under the bad influence they consider you a nerd or uncool. If you are diverse people will pick at you if you date someone outside your race and the list goes on. But if you really want to go to school (public or private) then you should approach your mom in the most mature way. catch her in a good mood. talk to her about college and your future what you wanna do with your life. Dont beg her for anything or whine if she disagrees! thats childish. tell her you appreciate that she is trying to protect you and make sure you get what you need to succeed but by keeping you at home she is also depriving you of having a social life, learning how to handle certain situations, and she is also putting a stump on your growth as a well rounded individual because how you arfe treated in the classroom is similar to how you will be treated on your job. And if you plan to go to college it will be ten times harder for you to get along than the other students. Especially if you have to do presentations in front of hundreds of students. She won't be there. They will.
go up to her and say 'Mum listen,I want to go to normal school if not public then private.But may I please try it or can you atleast considerate it for me.What would be the best for me.I know you love me and don't want me to get hurt but life goes on and you can't protect me forever.So please can you think about it and do a little research' She will think about it because you said it in a mature adult way.Don't winge and whine that will only make things a whole lot worse because if the teacher or someone gave you a part or a book but you wanted the other part or book chances are she thinks your going to winge and whine in front of everyone and then everyone will tease you half to death.So try to communicate with her in the most adult way if you feel tears and voilent if she says no say 'Okay I respect your choice but please try to considerate it for me.' and then go to your room or watch a sad movie so she thinks your crying over the movie or something sad like a book etc. Good luck I hope this helps
Well she can send you to school, and if something happens, she always has the option of pulling you out?
Point out that she really cannot support you forever. You need to learn how to deal with people or you are going to have a really hard time once college hits and once you have to start looking for a job.
Your mom is just traing to protect you, and sometimes life in a public school can add more pressure to the problems that you have at home. But I would sugest having a sirius talk whit her and twlling how you feel. EVERYTHING should be told so she understands you feeling towards things. GOOD LCUK!:)
well it is wierd how she said your gonna be abused. what does she mean by that,
Thanks guys this was really helpful
