Should I try High School online?

I know a lot of people but I am not really friends with them so I could survive the social impact. I am about to finish my freshman year of High School and go on to Sophomore status. I don't know If I will be able to go to dances, Prom, or try out for sports. I would imagine not. The school provides it but it is called something else. I am not great with grades and I really need to focus. I know I could stay focused but I probably will be distanced from many friends and will probably find it really hard to ever get a girlfriend. Would you suggest it?

    I wouldn't... many of my friends tried it and they just ended up dropping out after a while. It's not that they were stupid or bad people, it's just that the mind gets lazy after a bit, and it's tempting just to quit. Getting your high school diploma is such an important thing once you get out into the real world. As a student it never struck me as such a huge deal, but now that I am older I'm so thankful to have gone through with it. Otherwise, I would not have the opportunities that I do today!

    I wouldn't because for one you have to do it all by yourself which is sometimes harder to understand and plus must online school doesn't give actual high credits and therefor you don't get a diploma.
