[f]I want to go to college without going to high school or really without finshing
When I started this year I was a 9th grade student taking two or three 8th grade classes and two 10 th grade classes but I got kicked out of that school and the teachers of my new school think I should go back to the 8th grade and stay there I have to do the whole thing over again after how long it took you to go over there
I want to say I love school but I don't think I can go over what I want over in the beginning of school is it normal to feel what I'm normal

I love my furture husband reggie williams 110408

No, first legally you can't, second you would not be prepared for the more advanced studies without the basics learned in high school.

Not being harsh, but your writing/spelling skills reflect that you actually need to continue your education at the level your teachers are suggesting. You might be able to speed things up a bit if you apply yourself and then take CLEP tests (those are tests that you can take to "prove" you know a class' material at a mastery level without having to take the actual class). If you take and pass them you'll actually receive College Credit. Another option would be to Dual Enroll during your high-school years... this is an effective way to earn college credit while you're in high school. Although you have to be a certain age/grade level, it certainly will make your overall educational experience shorter. Another option might be to secure a GED (look it up on Wikipedia). Not all jurisdictions offer this option and you have to be 16 even to have a shot at one.
