The only thing I know of that's equivalent to a high school diploma is by taking the GED test, but I'm not sure if you can take it at your age. Look into that. You said you're failing all of your classes, which won't help you with getting ahead at all, but only causes you to fall farther behind.

People do do that, but it depends on the state. Of course once you're 18, you can do whatever you want. But before then, I think it varies per state at what age (only with parental consent) that you can drop out. If you drop out, you'll be left with very little options.

Okay, now it just looks like a back and forth of dramatic one-liners lol. I can tell you that you're saying you want an escape, but whatever you're escaping to is nothing. You'll still have your condition, only less educated. You need an education to succeed in life. Dropping out won't do you much good.

You can't, at least not legally. There's your answer. All that's left is for you to complete your credits or drop out when it's legal.

No idea. All I know that it is required by law that all minors attend school, except by a certain age you can drop out if you have parental consent. It would also vary per state. So if you stopped with school altogether before the legal age, I would assume that that is illegal. Maybe there are exceptions for people with diseases? I don't know. Maybe your parents can go to your old school's counselor and ask him/her what your options for this are.

I do not think this is possible :( You have to complete all 4 years of high school, whether or not you are sick or you aren't. Sorry, you have to finish school.

That's the thing I am already doing online home school and that's what is driving me so crazy. Not being able to talk to the teachers right away, being cooped up in my room all day everyday, Everything school related just causes me to melt down and it makes my fibromyalgia act up and so then I am in constant physical pain all the time. I just can't take it any more.

It's not studying that I need to work on here. I could take a collage test and pass it with out studying at all. I am just not able to do meaningless work sheets and tests that teach me absolutely nothing. My whole world has changed in the past year and I just physically am not able to do school work and turn it in. I have tried many many times to talk to my teachers about it but they just won't listen. They think I am making everything up even tho I am legally diagnosed with fibromyalgia and I am taking meds for it. They just don't understand and they won't even try to begin to understand what is going on in my life.

it will all pay off, if u just do the normal school again it should b a breeze... high school is great 4 making memories 2 and its shorter than elementry and u get more freedom, make new friends, dances, and yet again 'memories' that u will keep forever. Every teen goes through high school, and u will never b able 2 go back to it when ur older

I can't do real physical school again. I am with my dad Friday night through Monday morning and he lives 3 hours away from my mom who I am with during the week. So there is absolutely no way that I can go back to public school. I have asked my parents several times.

That will never work. When ever I even bring up school work I get a head ache. When I actually do do school work My muscles start hurting my neck cramps up my wrists feel like they're breaking and my legs feel like they are being jabbed with a huge knife. It's something with my Fibromyalgia that make me this way. I have tried everything I can I just want to graduate now and be done with everything. Don't you see that? If I even log into my classes I break down and cry. I will never be able to do school as good as I used to and that itself is depressing enough but then throw in all of this fibromyalgia crap and it just gets worse. I am failing my classes and if I don't graduate now my whole life is down the drain! I don't even know why I was put on this earth. Everything I touch gets messed up or destroyed.

You know what that is what every one says. But you try being 14 and 219 pounds and having fibromyalgia okay it is way worse than you think. And on top of that I have no friends my mom and brother hate me, my dad I never get to see, and everyone I care about has either walked out of my life or died. My life will never be worth anything!

@Question I'm confused, you seem to be a little narcissistic the way you talk about yourself being a genius, but them you complain that your life is worth nothing. Maybe instead of wallowing in pity you should look at the bright side of things. I doubt you'll ever get better if you continue to be so negative. You say you have intelligence, which you should be grateful that you have & use it. Wasting your life and skipping out on high school would be a waste of intelligence. Obviously your condition makes life difficult, but I'm just saying that believing your life has no meaning does you no good. You need to find some sort of outlet or other thing that makes you happy so that maybe you'll have a little more motivation in life.

I said I WAS a genius not that I am one. And I'm not intelligent.

I'm sorry, does fibromyalgia cause a loss of intelligence? I'm unfamiliar with the disease. If you were a genius before, you are a genius now. That doesn't really change what I said about the narcissism. Btw, grades aren't everything. Getting straight A's does not automatically make someone a genius, especially when they are middle school grades. You could easily pass high school as long as you take basic classes and get C's. Getting a C in an average high school class doesn't take anymore effort than getting decent grades in middle school classes. I don't think you lack the intelligence to pass high school (really, anyone could do it.) just the motivation, which is something I'm sure all people with fibromyalgia suffer. I think you need to find some sort of affective treatment for your condition- maybe there are support groups? I don't know. Do the research.

My fibromyalgia basically puts up a brick wall in my brain and I can't store or access any information any more. I guess you could say it is a loss of intelligence. The only support groups are for 80 year old grannies. Fibromyalgia is very rare in people under the age of 50. Most doctors didn't even believe it was real until only a few years ago. And it wasn't my grades that made me think I was a genius. I went to some doctor who gave me tests and made me do puzzles and I don't really remember all of the details but she said that I was a genius by definition of the word. So yea.

It's not a loss of intelligence- intelligence has to do with your ability to figure things out and solve problems. What you're describing is that you have a problem with your memory. I'm a little confused here though.. You're saying you can't do any school work, but you're perfectly capable of having an intelligible conversation? How is it that you're failing English when you can read and write just fine? Or math- that isn't about memory, it's about solving problems. Like i said, "Do the research". You need to find a solution to your problems, or else you'll be sitting around not doing anything. It was reasonable for me to assume you meant grades, since that's all that you mentioned in another comment. Anyways, that was my point, that tests, which includes IQ tests, are not every thing. IQ tests are outdated, there are 8 (or apparently 9 which I recently learned about) different intelligences, so I'm saying that there are different kinds of geniuses. I don't think she meant by definition of the word, but by the general requirements (IQ I think below 70 is mental retardati0n and 140+ is genius). I am getting off topic. I don't think it's your mind that's keeping you below a C average but your condition, which can only be solved by seeking treatment, not just by simply dropping out of high school (which is probably illegal for someone of your age).

Well I was a super genius I skipped 5th grade and I could have also skipped 6th grade but then I got diagnosed with fibromyalgia and now I am failing all of my classes for reasons I am not sure of. So thanks for reminding me of that. Now I feel just so much better about my life. While your at it why don't you also rub the fact that I am 14 and already 219 pounds and can't do anything about it in my face.

I'm sorry I didn't mean that on a bad way and if you can't do online school then ask a doctor if there's an alternative type of hs for you. I'm really sorry I wasn't trying to hurt your feelings.
