Miscellaneous: Today, I found out the high school I have been doing at home...

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

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 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, 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

Today, my university is capable of sending me two diplomas in short succession due to a clerical error, but can't recognize that I've graduated and won't be taking classes with them in the fall. FML

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

YDI for not thoroughly checking the program. However, there's no need to go to a regular high school at 18. Most towns have Adult Education programs, where you could either prepare for and take the GED exam, or enter the high school diploma program. Look into it, it's totally worth it.

Lol 42 stop acting like you know what you're talking about. It could be a scam to make money or the course could have lost it's accreditation. It's ILLEGAL to be 18 and start highschool? Do you even think before you speak?

If they claimed they had accreditation, sue them. If they didnt and you didnt bother to check... its sad but YDI. If it recently lost its accreditation then it means it had a shitty ass program and you should've realized that and change to a real one.

Check this out: http://www.narhs.org/ Seriously. Unless you've literally been doing NOTHING for the past few years, I'd bet that with a little effort, a few hundred bucks, and a little logic, you could get a high school diploma right now. I self-schooled myself through high school and graduated/got a high school diploma through NARHS. It's a pretty awesome, accredited program! Especially if your main concern is not having enough "proof" of educational things you did/read, etc. Also, like someone already said, check out CLEP testing! NARHS will honor that, as well, for credit. Best of luck!

I was home schooled, and my program didn't have a diploma program. I finished my school, then got my GED. Colleges accept the GED, especially if you explain that you didn't drop out

Dude, fight this! If you can prove that you did the work (essays, homework, etc), you can get the credits. You just need to speak to the right people. If you have to, write essays and such now, and put false dates on them. On the other hand, if you didn't actually do the work out and save it in folders, you deserve this for your stupidity.
