I want to go to high school! but my parents say no?
This year I’ll be going into 10th grade, and I really want to go to high school, I want the experience of it all. But the catch is I’ve been home schooled since I was little, and they said staying home is the best thing for me.
But when I look at it, I think I’m an independent person who can handle all the ups and downs of a public school.
They said that if I had a plan, like if a school would help me further where I wanted to go with a career then they’d consider it, but I don’t really know what I want to do. And I personally think going to school might help me out with that.
I know I either want to be a cosmetologist, chef, or work for a fashion magazine, but I don’t know how I can use that to help me convince them.
ugh I need help
That does sound frustrating. I have teenage daughters and they haven’t wanted to go to public school, but if they did, I would think that it would be okay with me.
Maybe if you tell your parents that you will homeschool if high school doesn’t work out.
I don’t see how you can convince them high school will help with a career. There are more opportunities through homeschooling toward any profession, so it’s unlikely you will find a way to impress them from that angle. It may be that they gave you an impossible task to detour you.
You could go to cosmetology as part of your high school, or finish high school quickly and start there.
Good luck
