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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

Um, I "graduated" from a tiny, unaccredited "highschool" but still got into college.

If you don't know what a GED is, then you deserve it!

I was homeschooled from pre-school through senior year. Now I am a Junior at Purdue University and am in the most prestigious Veterinary School in the United States. Whoever told you you can’t go to college does not know what they are talking about. All you need to do is make your transcripts, take the SAT or ACTs and apply!

You can try to catch up with Florida virtual school. From a School Counselor in a Florida county: "That's absolutely possible. If a student comes to us from a non-accredited school, we provisionally place them in the next class based on those credits (ie- if they took English II, we place English III, etc.) The student has 90 days to show us that they can do the work. If at the end of the 90 days the student is performing at a C or better, then we accept the credits on the basis that it appears as though they have learned the content. If the student is making a D or an F, we place them back in the 9th grade and do not accept the credits on the basis that they did not learn whatever the school is trying to tell us that they did. This is most common with homeschool students though."

It's most common with students that are homeschooled because that's the most popular unaccredited school - statistics, you fail at them. You should also find an article about what ******* retards public schooled students are and what their drop out rate is.

So you were able to skip eighth grade but you missed formal therefore homeschooling sucks? You are an idiot and it's people like you that give homeschooling a bad name. Go back and try again.

And this is why you skip the public school system's bullshit and just get your GED, depending on what you want to do in life, it works just as good. =]

I'm agreeing with everyone who says 'Get your GED.' I was homeschooled and got mine, and now I'm a senior in college. It will vary by state, but in Kentucky, you normally have to be 19 to take the GED exam, but exceptions are made for homeschooled students so that they can have a document as good as a high school diploma. There was even a graduation ceremony for GED recipients here, and I got to wear a cap and gown and walk with people ranging in age from 17 to 65, which was in itself kind-of cool. When I started college, they wanted a high school transcript, of course. I set one up, with the classes I had taken and the grades I had gotten, and my mom and I both signed off for its validity. I even ended up getting extra grant money for completing a 'rigorous course of college preparatory classes.'

What is it with people being homeschooled, finishing, and getting their GED? I was homeschooled and still got a diploma. And a graduation. Why get your GED if you deserve a diploma?
