    I know of no other way to complete your education other than an actual school, home schooling or GED.

    You want to back to school without putting forth any effort?

    I don't want to do at home or online stuff because an actual school has actual people and I just moved to this side of the state so I need friends. I just want to know if I can do the 7th grade being at the age I'm at considering ill be 17 in December.

    Have you contacted your local Board of Education? That would be the first place to start.

    Call your local school district office, or your local high school. You should qualify to attend a continuation school.

    I would wonder how you dropped at of school at 10 or 11. ** in sixth grade, it would be illegal to have done so.

    Next going to a real school with kids 4 and 5 years younger is not making friends, And no that will not happen.

    That is also not why you go to school, You want to make friends, you get involved in youth activities in the area.

    You would not fit in with children so much younger and would distrub the class going back.

    Your parents need to find this, not you. If they can afford there may be private school, but going to GED classes, would be most likely one of the better choices.

    There are classes for kids your age, some of whom could possibly become friends and introduce you to more young people. Like teacherjenn said, call the high school office or even the reference desk at the public library to get info on classroom situations.

    Yes, the answer is your parents need to contact the local Board of Ed and see what programs are available for you. You may be able to get credit for some of what you missed by taking aptitude tests.

    But I have to ask what happened? As Chuck said, it would be illegal for your parents to take you out of school. What happened in the past will have a bearing on what the school district does for you.

    Oh and you need to turn off the 'tude. Chuck spent his time to help you by answering your question. I don't see any indication he treated as not a real person.
