And you will be..lol... far more prepared then most.
It was very intelligent of you to do your own research, and you will reap some rewards from it.
I wish ya the best here. I think that what is being done to you is wrong, and I won't lie about that. It is very clear that the adults in your life are choosing to focus on the bad things about you, and find ways to remedy them.
But it is also very clear that there is a lot of good about you, that they just take for granted, rather then fanning the flame.
It is ashame Morgan, and I think that for the most part, you are on your own. I think that the best you can do, is make peace with yourself in all ways that you can. You have to be strong.
I read your mother's post, and no offense, but I don t believe her, completely. In my view, the towel is being thrown in, and your mother is saying that either she is too weak to parent you, or that you are just so absolutely horrible, that you cannot be parented, which we know is not true.
I think that you have to count on yourself. To me, what is more important, is not whether or not, you lose a year of academics, but that you remember what your goals are, throughout the process, and you come out, still, having them. You should remind yourself often of what they are, and why you want them, while you are there. Also, my opinion, is that you will get your school credits. I would think that your parents have made some assurance of that. I know that the place that I went, the schoolwork was like elementary school, but I still got passed in all my grades.
Also, you could call that bend high school as was suggested. That was a very sensible suggestion. I got a feeling your mind is probably not fully on that though.
