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.

You truly deserved it. That's something you check into before committing to it, you idiot.

As others have written, the answer is to get a GED, not to go to high school for another 4 years.

People, C'mon not all homeschooling programs are the same. I am from Florida and went through the same thing. What if she is using FLVS, or Florida Virtual school. It sends your credits to the school district but it does not give you a diploma, She may be misinformed. I went in to it because they told me i would receive a State Diploma, turns out my Guidance meant I would have to take my GED. It does suck, I wanted my diploma but instead i just went ahead and took my GED before even finishing all my credits because it really doesn't matter. Now, I'm about to go into College and I am a year ahead of everyone I went to school with. ( I went to highschool the first two years but because of my heart problems left)
