High school is very little work for many with intelligence.\n\nMy sincere suggestion is that if high school really is challenging for you, then you really need to study to prepare to be an adult!  Even if you work at McDonald's for the rest of your life, you still need a few basics...

Ask your local school district about their GED program. If there is a medical reason for you to not attend high school, you may be eligible for homebound instruction, but that would be up to a physician to say so.

YOU CAN GO TO AN ADULT EDUCATION FACILITY. OR AN ANNIEX OF YOUR CURRENT HIGH SCHOOL.

Managing time is high school was no problem for me. I actually managed to do quite a bit of homework before and after class and hardly ever had to take anything home but big projects.\n\nShyness is not something that you 'just get over' it's a habit you have to unlearn. It takes practice and risk-taking. My advice would be to join a club that interests you. That way, you'll have the opportunity to talk to a small group of people with similar interests. \n\nAlso practice making eye contact. Smile and give compliments. Try to cultivate a few friends rather than tap-dance for everyone. Remember that everyone's favorite subject is themselves, so asking people questions about them or their interests is a good way to have a pleasant conversation.\n\nGood luck to you!

Don't... School is so much easier and fun than working. You only have 2 more years left. Senior year is the most fun of all. It's completely worth it (generally a goof off year).  Good Luck!

Yes, colleges and universities have information packages they send out to prospective students.  Often you can request them on line.  Most universities now have websites that describe their programs so that may be a good place for you to start.  Talk to the guidance counselor at your high school and you may find an excellent source of advice there.  Best of luck.

Well when you are in high school, is some schools there are credits (which is the way I have to do) anyways I have to get 24 credits to graduate from high school to go to college, it is possible for me to be a 3 year grad and not go into my senior year but not quite so sure about 9th grade since I am already in 9th grade.

Your school probably has a website.  Look it up, and they will give you contact information for the office.  I did that recently for my high school, it was easy.

Call the High School in that area and they should be able to help and lead you in the right direction. It should be free of charge or just a small fee.

It's much harder (both mentally and financially) to go back to school once you've started working.  Analyze your priorities and set your goals.  Then I think you'll have your answer.

High school is really rough, but you already know that. First, get through this semester's finals. Then take some time to think.\n\nI'd say to find a way to organize and find someone who can keep you on track. Write down your goals for the semester (grades, clubs, teams), academic year, and each of the years you have left until graduation, as well as for college and beyond.\n\nLook at your goals and figure out how to get there. Ask yourself what you really want in life - what is it that makes you feel alive? It's okay if the answer changes, but get an idea of what you really desire and pursue it. If you lose interest, move on to something else. I changed my career choice in high school at least 7 or 8 times and my major in college twice. Then I went BACK to school...twice for additional degrees. Nothing wrong in that. So long as you are able to find happiness and keep growing, you're on the right path.\n\nAllow yourself to make mistakes - they happen, just learn from it.\n\nPlan your high school courses from the future to the present. Say you think you'd like to be a pharmacologist (one who develops new medicines). Call a couple of colleges of pharmacology and ask them what you should take in high school. Plan to take those courses, and chart out what route you need to take - honors, regular, essential level classes, and also whether two years of math is fine or if you need to do four years plus two summers (my cousin did this to get into an engineering school and he's so glad he did, even though it was hard).\n\nNow that you have a course outline, talk with a guidance counselor about when to take which course. Plan time in for yourself, too. If you like to exercise, make time for it. If you like to pray, make time for it. If you want to join a club, make time for it.\n\nAs for your classes, you'll find they go a lot easier if you take good notes, re-read the material the night that you first learn it, and review the previous class's materials for a minute or two before the next class. Plan on doing homework most of your first weekend back at school so that you get ahead (even if there's not a lot of work to do). \n\nAnd take every Friday night off to relax with friends or family or just doing whatever you like to do. You'll need the break.\n\nGood luck!

Have you thought about getting a tutor or where I went to school there were after school classes you could go to to get additional help. I'm sure that if you show that your applying yourself and doing your best that everything will be alright.

This may sound weird.  \n\n If I were in your position, I would get the GED and work while I finished High School. and got a diploma. I never finished high school but got a GED, years after I began my family. I still have dreams of what I missed. I regret that I didn't stick with it back then. I am not in a position to for back to high school but you are. Go back for all the right reasons. \n\nYou obviously desire to better yourself. Kudos.

I think you can do anything that you set your mind to do.  If you want to get better grades you can.  I may sound like a cliche with the following saying, but "anything you want in life is work."  I liked what one person said earlier, focus on slight improvements in your grades and you will be on your way.  Additionally, this is something I learned early on (I am 33 now), but never be afraid to ask for help.  Whether its a teacher, another student that excels and is good at explaining things or seeing if your school has tutoring.  Some of the people I know who are doctors now were tutored all through high school and college to assure they were 1) on task and getting the work done and 2) had a grasp on the subject.\n\nI would also like to add, community college is a route (especially with how much college costs) you could save money by staying at home (if possible) and the transferring to a four-year college.  Also, the college that I went to (Ferris State University) for my bachelors and masters degrees works with students who might have struggled in high school, but have potential and works closely with the student the first and second year to make sure the student will succeed.  Ultimately, as I said earlier, making it happen will come down to you and your persistance, hard work (from this point forward) and commitment to setting your goals and keeping track of your progress.\n\nTalk to a guidance counselor at your high school or a teacher you trust about the change you want to make.  Keep a journal and sign a contract for yourself that states you are making this commitment to yourself.  \n\nI have worked at two universities, seen and worked with many new students  just like yourself who may have struggled or not put enough energy into high school early on, then came to college and were very successful.\n\nMuch luck!

Umm...yea you can probably get into a state school or you can start out by going to a community college and make good grade (hs is a drain especially when you are learning things you are not interested in, so make sure you pick something you're interested in); then transfer to a bigger school.  but make sure when you write you essay you use spell check.  Good luck

Education is primarily a local prerogative.  Start with your school board and work your way up from there.
