Wasup,my name is jason and I droped out of high school at the begging of my softmore year.Now summer has arrive & I'm thinking over my plan for what I'm going to do next year.I was talking to some of my friend and they said I should go back.I failed every class my freshmen year so if I went back I would still be a freshmen.I have a problem talking clearly in school and sometimes I mummble and feel embaressed.In my school and many schools I bet,they go around the class having people read out loud and answer questions.It makes me really nervous and when it becoems my turn I start mumbiling and feel foolish.Is there a way I can talk to the guidess couciler or teacher about not calling me out to talk in class & talking out loud such as presenting projects.Do you think I can ask for specific teachers that I feel comfortable with.I am turning 16 this summer so if I go back to school I will be 20 when I graduate.There is a senior that is 20 going to the highchool currently.what do you think would be best to do. If this is possible to go to class without being called onand talking out loud becuasei know I can do the whole school thing& work&tests. I think something is wrong with my speech because I went to speech as a kid ad they asked me in 8th grade if I wanted to continue and I said no mabe I messed up there.

Look , If you don't get your high school diploma, you really need to look into a g.e.d. I dropped out of high school, and it is really the biggest regret I have. I have managed to make it in life, but not GREAT!! I know I could have been so much more. A lot of communities now offer an alternative school. This would probably be worth looking into. Here in the small town where I live they have what they call XIT alternative High school. There students who struggle in the social environment that it sounds as though makes you uncomfortable, can work at their own pace from "workbooks " on the computer. They just sit at a computer, and work at their leasure. They don't get called on to read out loud, never have to get up at the chalkboard to write out math problems, and aren't called upon unwittingly to answer silly questions. Most of them are behind when they enroll, but end up graduating with a real High School Diploma, before al of their peers. Right click and print this screen, and take it to your high school guidance counselor... then you won't even have to speak to him/her, and he will probably point you in the right direction.
