how do I get out of school?

so im 16 and have a 6 week old baby. im thinking of droping out of high school and doing it online. has anybody ever done this? which is easier? I WILL finish high school but maybe not in a class setting. it is so hard right now to keep up with school, sports, and my son. thanks!!~lexi

Answer #1

just wanted to add something, I dont think 16 is really a good age to make such a big decision. I know it must be hard on you right now, but for you and your babies future you will have to make well thought out, hopefully right decisions, not based on what seems easier at the time. sometimes you just have to struggle a little harder than others to get to the right place, but once you get there its all the more wonderful. anyway, Id also like to throw in that I am only 21 and I know that if I acted on even half the ideas I had when I was 16 I would be in some trouble lol so again good luck

Answer #2

I agree with those who encourage you to stay in school. It will go by fast, and then youll be so glad you stuck with it. Just a couple btw tips, think of how many people dropped out and “planned” on going back. Im not saying you personally would end up that way but its something to ponder. also, my mom was actually telling me recently that some jobs wont hire people who got degrees online. And think about it, if you had two applicants for a job, one with in-class experience and one who just got a degree/diploma at home, wouldnt the first look better? good luck I hope you think about these things

Answer #3

The best option would be independent study- go to school once a week to take your tests and do all your work at home so you can get your school work finished and watch the baby.

Answer #4

PLEASE PLEASE GOD LILONE!!! PLEASE!!! whatever you do finish high school and get your diploma or GED. A good education is sooo important since your a single mom!!! I am one too…just a lot older!!LOL

Answer #5

Doing online school is actually really great. When I took online school for a few courses I only had to go on for an hour a day(per course). They leave the studying and work up to you.

Answer #6

online school is great. I do it! its just like the school work you do at school except for its at home :) and by the way I love the name kaden its my sons name
