How to convince my parents to send me to public high school Im depressed here sitting at home being homeschool?

-I cant learn that well when homeschooled too



My parents afraid that there are people with drugs there and people having sex



IM A CHRISTIAN. I wont have sex or drugs seriously -.- Plus they dont want me associating with boys, as in working as lab partners etc.



How do I convince them?

I dont have any friends right now either :(Well actually you can have sex at school (although it is frowned upon). but having gone to both public and private christian schools in my youth, I can tell you it happens. I can also tell you that I never once had sex (or saw anyone having sex) at school and I never did drugs. I think the best course of action would be to talk to your parents, explain to them how you feel. Tell them that you think going to a mainstream school would be good for you and give them some reasons why. As for the not being lab partners or working on projects with boys, you can try to talk to your teacher about it. Explain to them how because of your religious beliefs both you and your parents are uncomfortable with you working with members of the opposite sex. It would most likely be good to get this out of the way as soon as you begin school, so if your teacher forgets, you can remind them of it.



Do you go to church? If so ask your pastor, or youth pastor for advise. If having friends is your main concern, try to make some at chuch. If your family home schools, i am sure others do as well. If you do end up going to public school, and you are worried about having friends who only care about sex, drugs, ect the two best groups to look for would be Mormon and Muslim girls. Both groups are very conservitave (in both dress and socialy), neither drink alcohol, dont have sex, dont do drugs. that sort of thing. You will also be amazed at how much you have in common.



Also, many schools have religious clubs and orginizations that meet after school, i am sure your parents would approve. :)im homeschooled too. there are millions of other homeschoolers. if you live in texas or florida you can try c.h.a.a. saints. ask your parents if you can join a homeschool group cuz there are a lot out there that do field trips and stuff and most of them are christian. plus homeschooling has its upsides. you arent locked down 6 hours a day and you can do your work when you want. but if you really want to go to school ask to go to an all-girls school if there is one in your area.
Actually, you can have sex at school. Many people sneak into bathrooms, you can also do drugs etc.

I actually know what you're going through. I am 16 years old, and never had any friends (after 2nd grade) that were not a million years older than me or online. Thankfully my parents saw how much I was going backwards then forwards and they decided in august (this coming august) to put me in a school.



I would recommend building a strong trust with your parents, and letting them know that your head is on straight. Also look for schools that have really good reviews, in great neighborhoods. Maybe even discuss private school?
Tell them! Can't they send you to a Christian school? Some parents are a little over-protective. When you have kids, you'll understand a little better. Regardless, if you want to go to a school, they should honor that.
