I want to get home schooled but my mum wont listen to me?

Question

I am 14 and turning 15 in a few months. Basically I really want to get home schooled but my mum wont even sit down and listen to me. I did a lot of research about it and I know how home schooling kind of works.
The only reason why I want to get home schooled is because I don't feel like I really fit in with people in my school and I have a pretty low self esteem and I get stressed very easily. I also have some family issues and it just makes me harder to go to school and concentrate.
I kind of understand that home schooling won't do any better in this situation but I have missed a lot of school this year by lying to my parents that I don't feel well so I could get to stay off school. They already got called in to come and talk to my guidance teacher at school for my low attendance rate.
My parents clearly know that I don't like going to school and it's just a waist of time because I am not interested in half of the subjects I do there anyways. When I'm 19/20 I want to move to USA to do something with acting or photography.
First off I am not originally British. I moved to UK 4 years ago. I still find English at school pretty hard and I'm in the lowest English class and there are only boys who get told off all the time from talking etc so we hardly do anything in class because of that. I mean, if I got home schooled, wouldn't it be easier for me to expand more on my English? I mean, when we read stories at school and the have to write essays on them, I don't even know what some words mean and we don't even get to use dictionaries because apparently school thinks that my English is very good.
When it comes to Biology, I failed my test on Biodiversity topic in October because I found it very boring and useless. It's not like I want to do anything with forests or animals in the future anyways. I mean, it's good to know how everything changed but that doesn't interest me and I think it's just a waist of time when I could be learning something that does have interest such as topics to do with cells, dna, stem cells and more.
I just really don't know how to talk to my mum and what to tell her because how I said, I had some very big issues with my family in the past 4 years that have stressed me a lot and that's another reason why I lost my self confidence. I honestly find pretty difficult to fit in at my school and find friends. If I did get home school, I would find some way to join some kind of sport or find something to do with acting which could help me out in the future if I get lucky enough to move out and do something related to acting in US.
BUT MY MUM WONT LISTEN!
I tried talking to her today and when I mentioned about me getting home school she just left my room straight away and was like 'No one gets home school so don't be silly. Finish school properly and blah blah blah..........' I did start crying when she left because she doesn't really know how I feel and how hard I find to be in school and find friends. Also she has kinda ruined my life by taking me to live with her in UK. I hate living here. I got over weight and all because I stopped doing all my favorite activities when I moved here. I lived in the capital of Lithuania where there was a lot to do and now I live in a tiny boring town at the east coast of Scotland where there is completely nothing to do to succeed..
It depresses me soo much.
I can't get my mum to listen to me at all..
How could I get her to? :(

Answer 1

I could see why she would say no straight away. Who do you expect would homeschool you? Your Mum? It's a big responsibility and it's not easy to home school a teenager. You yourself also have to be extremely disciplined in oorder to get the work done. Since your under 16, your Mum would get in trouble if you are behind. Unfortunately in life we have to do things we don't always like to do. It's not a good idea to drop out of school just because you are struggling with the social aspect. Doing so wou d cause your social skills to worsen. In life you are going to have to deal with others at school, college, work etc. I hated school too, but I stuck to it and now I'm ib college. I promise, it will go so fast!



Also you can't just u and move to the US at 18/19. You have to have a job there that your employer proves they can't get someone in the US as skilled and qualified for the job.



Good luck with whatever happens!

Answer 2

Are attempting emailing her or placing a paper or poster in her room so she can not interrupt you while you're speakme. Homeschooling will still require you to do these hated subjects, so be all set! But simply present her with a paper essay, poster board, or powerpoint of why you need to be house schooled, how it'll advantage you in approaches public tuition will not, how you'll have more time to pursue routine you loved before, and noted people who have been home schooled and succeeded of their experiences. She may just consider that you just is not going to be properly educated. Although she works during the day, you are plenty old ample to tuition your self. Make sure so as to add just right applications of homeschooling and the way you are going to be taught a language as your non-compulsory, do a PE class in the outdoor with jogging, jumping, and sports. You can tell her that the coming weekend you'll take home your schoolbooks and do some homeschooling for six hours. Show her the work you get carried out, and tell her to quiz you on the end of the day to prove you learned. Good good fortune! Nikki

Answer 3

Yeah you shoud be home schooled but whatever you do don't come to america. It ******* sucks here. In fact, I want to move OUT of america and into Europe.

Answer 4

Being home schooled requires the government's permission. It is not easy to be taken off school, since the school has the curriculum for you to do the AP, IB and A Levels.

Answer 5

Omg just do online school. I mean who does actual home schooling anymore?

Answer 6

Have her read "The Teenage Liberation Handbook."



It's what convinced my mom to homeschool me.

Good luck!
