Hi...

The past couple of days I've been researching a lot on how to get to USA t study... Only.. I have a huge problem. I'm 18... I only completed one year of technical high school here in Denmark before I.. dropped out.. Or, well.. I'm taking a break. But now I really regret it because I want to finish high school as soon as possible... And I really want to go to USA to study. It's very very important for me that I do... To keep myself from seeing nothing but problems and worries. The last year has been hell for me. Well, most of my life has. The only person I love lives in USA... And I want to be with him... We've researched ways I can stay with him, but nothing allows me to stay more than a few months. I want to stay with him for good, or at least for as long as possible. Which is partly why I want to go highs school or something in USA... But I'm so frustrated and depressed, because all highschools won't allow student who are 19+ or something... or maybe it was 18+...
There's not way I could actually finish high school in USA is there?. I could probably stay for a year before they kick me out because I'm too old.
It just hurts so much though... Cos everything is against me here at home. I've tried to explain to my parents and whoever is around but no one wants to understand what I feel. They just tell me to pull myself together and just move on.
I just wish I could complete my education in USA.. away from my current life which means nothing to me anymore. I want to be happy, and I want tto get these bad, irrational thoughts out of my head.

So In short I need answers for these questions:

Is it possible to go to highschools when you're 18 or more?
I want to be in Pittsburgh, so what are my chances there?
Are there any art related highschools that take foreign students?

And another question is, is there any way I can be allowed to Stay in USA for more than a few months? Through some way or another?

Thanks a lot, and please... Don't tell me to get help or whatever... I tried, it doesn't work and it's not what I need to hear. Im really tired of getting discouraged by people.

Hi there,

Re-evaluate WHY you want to come to the US... school should be your number one priority.

If you truly want to come here to better yourself, academically and socially, check out a program called AFS. It is a phenominal (but expensive) program for studying abroad.

Best of luck to you!
