I talked to my dad about the whole online education thing and he was completely against it. He thinks it’s the wrong way to educate yourself and that I should continue attending normal school…I’m so fucking depressed, I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to go to school, that’s the problem. I can’t cope with it any longer and my parents can’t seem to understand that, they think I’m just being “stubborn” about it all…but my condition towards this is very serious. He said that if I continue to go against his wishes, he will stop the internet for good, won’t speak to me, and leave me with nothing. I don’t know what I should do…he’s being so unreasonably and fucking cruel. I want to just die. Should I just take the risk of not having internet anymore?

You should tell him to trust you.
Two years ago, I wanted to stop going to school because I couldn’t stand putting on a happy face and pretending everything was ok. I felt like a liar. I started isolating myself from my friends, from my family.
I told my dad that I wanted to stop going to school to focus on my therapy. He immediately said no, said that I couldn’t be trusted, that I’d slack off.
I offered him a compromise, I’d take half of my courses online, and half of my courses at school. A year later, I was getting top marks in my online classes, I mean 95%+ average in every class. He let me stop going to school and take all of my classes online.
He’s probably just worried that you’re not going to take your classes seriously,
Try proving him wrong.
Instead of fighting with him, try negotiating with him.
Believe me, I keep talking to him and he is ignorant as hell. I don’t know what to do :/ He doesn’t understand how much this means to me…
Well, I have good news and bad news…
Good News: School is nothing like real life.
Bad News: It sounds like your dad/parents won’t change their mind and there really is no use talking to him/them.
How old are you? How many years left til you “graduate”?
My suggestion or the choices I see you having at this point is… finding a way to endure school for as long as you can (preferably, until you graduate) find people your age who feel the same way about school (believe me, they’re out there) sometimes having/finding people to hand out with are better then being alone.
Can you think of anything else?
My friend dropped out of school and was home schooled because of her anxiety and depression, but she said it was the stupidest thing she’s ever done. She couldnt, and cant deal with school, but she knows she needs a proper education, because its vital to gettinga good job in life.
personally i think that you should stay in school, and just dont listen to anyone else. i was so depressed all through school, and i stuck it out,and now im sitting my final exams and its such a good feeling to know that the cunts that tried to bring you down, couldn’t, and that your life will turn out okay because you finished school and you tried hard.
just stay (:
Some public schools aren’t that great academically speaking. 50% of your grade is attendance.
