I need serious advice.


I need serious advice.

I'm having a rough time in high school, primarily because it isn't challenging and I can't stand getting up at 7 AM. I hate the people there, and I can't stand the teachers, but more importantly, I'm not being challenged.

I don't want to go to a community college; I just want to self-school myself.

I've been reading up at:
http://parents.berkeley.edu/advice/scho ... tives.html

Ideally, I would want to self-educate myself, and if I ran into any problems I would visit a tutor. After maybe 2 years, I would take a high school proficiency exam and get my degree.

I'm wondering how I would be able to do this, and how I could possibly convince my parents to let me make my own choices. I want to suceed and go to college, but I feel like I'll die trying at the rate I'm going.

I just need something...OTHER than high school.

Only serious answers, and I don't want to hear any BS about "You're only a depressed teenager with no friends, rough it out."

Organic Superlube? Oh, it's great stuff, great stuff. You really have to keep an eye on it, though--it'll try and slide away from you the first chance it gets.
