Well. i started my sophomore year of high school this past september. the second week of school, i woke up with a cold one morning and missed a day of school. The next week, I missed a day because of a migrain. The next couple weeks, I missed a lot of school between sickness. I finally figured out why. Idk if any one has ever experienced anything like this before, but...i made myself sick, involuntarily. sounds crazy? yea. There were times that i would get home from school and start my homework...and absolutly dread going to bed, because that would mean i had to get up the next day and go back to school...The mornings were horrible..i wouldnt get out of bed until 4 minutes before the bus came. Eventually, i started not being able to sleep, and when i could, i'd usually be thinking about how much i didnt want to go back to school that i'd wake up sometime around 4 in the morning and start to throw up. normal? i think not. I missed A LOT of school. The thing is...it was because i hated it so much..i was making myself sick over it..and finally convinced my parents to let me be homeschooled..so we applied, but they didnt understand. my grades were awesome. I was making honors and everything. They kept thinking there was something wrong with me. But to be honest...I just hated going and being around people that made my life difficult..and i honestly just wanted to go, learn, come home, finish the homework, and so on and so forth. i didnt want the distractions in between everything..I think of it this way...teenagers are forced to go to high school..its the law. I want to also go to college. College is optional...usually most of the people who go to college are there to learn, therefore, not as many people are there just to be there, and they dont act like complete pricks...most of them.
Has anyone ever experienced something like this?

" Well I haven't gotten to the point of throwing up before, but I've definitely gotten physical symptoms that prevented me from functioning when I wasn't happy in my school.
Well, you can drop out of school and get your GED once you're 16, at least where I am. It's a shame though that everything else that comes with school besides the academics can turn people off from learning. I know a ton of people who love to learn, but hate showing up to school to the point of making themselves sick. "
