I’m the kid that moves around a lot, and I thought I’d be able to stay at this one public school all throughout high school. Problem is, we’re moving to the next district over, and I’m heading into my junior year. Since the curriculum is different, I’ll have to spend my junior year catching up on courses that they would’ve had me take in 9th and 10th grade, and that’s probably going to make me fall behind. This new school’s courses are limited beyond belief and all they seem to care about is college. They have work portfolios that students keep through high school and have them take a bunch of classes on career stuff, which I really don’t want to be stressed about.

I’ve also been to this same exact school three years ago (it’s a middle/high school), and I wasn’t exactly the most well-liked. Most of the friends I had moved away, so unless I make new ones, I’d be pretty much alone. I’ve changed a lot over the passed 3 years, so I think I could handle the people and the bullies much better than I did back then.

Then the other option: cyberschool. Everyone I know that took cyberschool or homeschool (5 out of 6 kids that I know of) got horrible grades and had to do summer school, retake certain courses, or even repeat school years when they transferred back to regular school. My parents are absolutely ridiculous, so I don’t particularly like having them around all day if I’m cyberschooling. I’m already enough of a hermit as it is, what with my parents wanting me to get a part-time job in their business and my friends being too ‘busy’ to chill with me after school or weekends, not to mention I can’t go anywhere by myself unless I take a friend with me. A relative of mine (who lives far away, but knows me better than anyone else) completely disagrees with the cyberschool idea. She thinks it’ll ruin me, but I have a strong will… And with cyberschool, I can stick with my high school plan and not have to fall behind.

So what do you guys think I should do’
