Can I complain to the School Board?
I can't even begin to explain what i've been going through, I don't want to get held back this year!
You see, the past couple years my mom passed away and i've been under a lot of stress, emotionally, physically, and academically.
I've also been through all sorts of abuse and i'm only 15.
But the past 7 months i've been out of school.. because I suffer from severe mental illness. I dropped out of school after my first week of 10th grade because I just couldn't take being in school anymore, it wasn't healthy for me and I keep almost passing out because of my anxiety and dissociation/ derealization. Sometimes I have cognitive disturbances, sometimes I honestly don't function properly.
I just can't concentrate in school. After this happened I skipped 2 months of school, then 2 months later I saw a psychiatrist and complained about my emotional episodes, so the psychiatrist said he would refer me to a 6 month homeschooling where a teacher would personally teach me. The problem is now that 3 month's has passed and she only give me 0.5 of a credit for careers.The rest of the courses she said would be held until further notice because the semester ended. We've only been through 2 and a half months of just seeing her twice a week. Another problem is that now i'm moving and i'll be transferring to a different highschool.. I've moved over 6 times in the past 2 years.
Therefore, this schooling i'm in would be cancelled.
How can I continue getting homeschool? My dad is against this because he thinks nothing is wrong with me, but I feel like dying and I can't express myself, since i'm not thinking straight..
I'm just so dissappointed.
I need my homeschooling to continue, everyone keeps saying i'm not willing to help myself..
But the truth is I honestly swear I can't do it. People don't see the big picture, they don't know what I go through. Every. Single. Day. I don't even have the words to explain it. I just know i'm very unhealthy and unfit for a school environment. I have the necessary requirements for an education. I should be allowed to educate in a safer environment for me, at home.
There have been moments where I honestly thought I was gonna die.
That I would never wake up from my sleep because of all the chest pain and headaches I go through. I have these struggles daily.
And I have to go back to SCHOOL!?! That's an outrage.
it makes me so dissappointed that everyone's saying I need to go back to school. When I obviously need alternate methods of receiving an education at this point in time.
I possess all the requirements for completing an academic education, and i'm really hoping I get the privelage to pursue that at home, because I definitely cannot be at school.
I'm aware of my intelligence and potential, and I know i'm capable of demonstrating such.
But I don't even feel like i'm getting any treatment, and people aren't seeing me as often as they should.
I'm so sick of wasting time. At this rate i'll be held back.. I am so scared of that happening. I keep crying and I can't wait anymore. I really do believe there should be priveleges for me to pass this year, in my current situation i'm in desperate need of assistance.
I really need to know, will I be held back? I haven't even completed the first semester and we're already in second semester and there's only 3 more month's of school left. Will I be able to pass? How can I complain to the school board and fight for my right to be homeschooled? Can I do credit recovery somehow during summer school, and just get enough credits to pass onto Gr. 11? I'm in academic.
I am not in the right frame of mind to be attenting school.
Either I go to school feeling completely devastated and receive failing grades, or get spontaneous grades at homeschool. Which sounds more feasible?
With all due respect, I am in sheer and utter desperation, I believe that
someone in my situation should have exceptions for their method of education. Because I know i'm capable, I just don't know how to get the opportunity for a full-time homeschool.

Sorry if what I wrote all above isn't in perfect order, it's just because i'm unbelievably overwhelmed by my life right now. I feel like there's no future. If I get held back I'd be laughed at for the rest of my life, i'll feel completely inferior to all my friends, forever. I'd just die. At that point there would be no point of living anymore, by my standards..
I'm already going through enough crap as it is, I feel like the school board doesn't care. Can my father hire a lawyer for neglect by the school board, and by psychiatrists?
My physical well-being, my sanity, and my education is at risk here!
Someone tell me how I can save myself! D:
Help me find a loop hole in th
Is there a loop hole in the board of education for a situation like this? *
