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

The truth will out

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

Jumping the gun

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

I blame the parents

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.

FYL for all that work for nothing and YDI for not looking into accreditation for your work earlier than now....

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)
