Today, I found out the high school I have been doing at home for the past 3 years isn't accredited and doesn't count for anything. I'm 18 and starting high school as a freshman next year. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I've lied about my grades for three years of high school already and my mom thinks I'm a straight A student. I'm supposed to be going to college in a year. FML
Today, I learned that the college I'm going to in the fall has been tampering with their ratings on the internet and actually only has a 5% graduation rate. Everything's already been paid for and I can't transfer elsewhere. FML
Today, I found out that my parents lied to me about my GPA so they could go back on our agreement of "3.0 or above or summer school" and had no intention of honoring the agreement anyway. I've been in summer school doing catch-up for kicks. FML
Today, I started my senior year of high school and I just learned I'm pregnant. I'm not sure how to tell my parents, considering I had a baby freshman, sophomore, and junior year as well. FML
Today, I got my report card, and thought I did pretty well with a GPA of 3.58. My parents freaked out over the 3 B's I had, and proceeded to look up which colleges would still accept me. I just finished my first quarter as a freshman in high school. FML
Today, after being kicked out of our school for leaving the country, neither of my guardians want to take charge of our education. So me, being sixteen, I have to do hundreds of assignments for my sister and me, who was already supposed to have graduated. Yay "Home schooling." FML
Today, I finally finished my summer assignments for three AP classes. My schedule also arrived. Turns out my school can't place me in any of them, and I just wasted the last four weeks of my summer. FML
Today, despite being in high school, I'm still shorter than the average 3rd grader. FML
Today, I found that my medical school has lost its WFME (World Federation for Medical Education) accreditation and my certificate (that I should be obtaining in two years) will be worthless. To pour salt into the wound, I have finals next week and it's hard to stay motivated after this kind of news. FML
Today, I went to my little brother's high school to speak to his counselor about his grades. On my way to the office, the office manager threatened to write me up for ditching class and told me that high school is not like middle school, 9th grade will be different. I graduated 5 years ago. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Some high schools don't allow students over 21. Good luck with that, and I mean it sincerely, cause that sucks.

Yeah... you need to work on your English. Sentences should make sense. Go to a proper school.

Screw high school. Screw public school. If you know your color's, shapes, math, how to write, grammar, that's pretty much all you need to get by in the world. Focus on what you LOVE to do. What you could do for the rest of your life. Set goals, reach them, just do anything to not fall into the 9/5 job life. Or a job life in general.

Just go to your local community college and take your GED, since colleges accept it as a high school equivalent. Since you've been doing high school classes, you shouldn't have a problem with passing it. Then, if you want to get your high school diploma, either take night school classes or do an accredited program. I ended up missing 3 days over the state's limit from having mono my senior year, and the vice-principal wouldn't give me a waiver, so they told me I couldn't graduate high school. Because of the credits I needed, it would've taken me 2 years in adult high school, and I didn't want to wait that long to start college. So I just sat for my GED after Christmas break, and then got a full time job until college started the following fall. Jobs and colleges have a place to check for GED/high school equivalent, if you didn't graduate with a high school diploma, so no one should care that it's one and not the other. Good luck.

YDI for being home schooled.

GEDs aren't for dropouts. They are also for Honor students with all A's, except for 2 B's - while taking advanced placement courses - who had a doctor-recognized medical condition that prevented them from coming to class. After the school officials decided to not give them the requisite waiver; it forced them to make the decision to get their GED so that their college attendance wouldn't be postponed. I will never understand why my high school chose to not let me graduate as an honor student, when it's always in the news that some of our local graduates can't even read. If I ever have children, I will either move to have them attend public school in a different district, or I'll pay for them to be in a private school. One thing is for certain; they won't go through what I did.

that's what you get for home schooling. I agree, get your GED and move on with life. If you had gone to real school like a normal person you would not have this problem.

SERIOUSLY, YOUR UPSET. I would of have loved to be 21 in Highschool. Get your own apartment and have a damn party. Wish I was that lucky.

lol, if you think being 21 in high school equates to luck, you are pretty shallow. and have also forgotten that 17 will still get you 20.

A friend of mine never graduated high school (he did his senior year aboard here in the US and never went back to Germany to finish), now he is a masters student at Oxford. My mom never officially graduated due to communication failures with between her junior college and highschool, she has a master of science in nursing. Neither had GEDs or anything. People just assume colleges require high school degrees, but they don't really.

# 158 I heard the in the state of Florida, once you reach 21, you are not allowed into any highschool. and who would want to be in high school at that age, it just makes you look like an idiot. And I would sue who ever that online school is, all the wasted years gone for nothing. Sue them for all they got.
