Should I skip high school? Help please.?

I think you should just go to high school.

High school is the other half of what is considered as "secondary education" (middle school is the first half) and high school education is like a building block for college. High school builds your "knowledge bank" in the form of another layer, so maybe you may not think so, but you could very well build more depth in your overall knowledge. High school is also the place to interact among your peers and to build social interaction skills and grow your mind. "High school sucks" is like a "can't live with it, cant really be better without it" type of deal. The potential for drama exists when people interact with each other, but if you don't really bother with it and just let it do its thing on the side, then maybe it wont really bother you.

You can still end up being successful with a good career even if you dont do this "headstart" thing. If you do well in high school, stay out of trouble, get very good SAT or ACT scores, get the best grades you can, you can still apply to really good universities. Choose the best major option for you and pave your career path after graduation. As a college grad myself, I dont think its going to give you as much of a headstart as you think it will and just maybe, you turn out like a car that went too fast to save time, but run out of gas in the end. Just because you dont do this elite school, that doesn't mean you will fall behind in life. Nothing wrong with doing the normal educational development path and taking the time to learn.

Pace yourself on your education path and this path called life. Go to high school.

I think the real question is not whether you're going to miss out on the high school experience. It's why this would be a good opportunity for you. Do you think UW is the college you'd wind up at anyway? Do you have at least a reasonable idea what you plan to study there, and what that good career would look like? If the answers are yes, then it'd be silly to pass this up. If you haven't looked enough at what else is out there to be sure, do as much of that as you can before the deadline - and if you wind up deciding you need extra time to mature and figure out your life in high school before you take on the pressures of college, that's okay. Don't let other people project their experiences on to you.

It's also okay to take this on, and decide partway through that it's not for you after all. That's why they have the prep class and the transition year. It's not just about them making sure you're good enough; it's a chance for you to evaluate them. Remember that if you start feeling overwhelmed.

I think it would be hard to fit into a college when your only 16. I think highschool is worth being part of, but this is an amazing oppurtunity. For me, I wouldn't like to take that large of the step. People need time inbetween, and that's what highschool is for, you learn life lessons, and develop into the real you. You find your place in life and your identity. What if your future child hsd to face highschool? You couldn't give them one piece of advice. Not to mention, how do you find a boyfriend/girlfriend when everyones older than you?

I think you are just asking this question to verify whatever answer you want to hear. Don't make a decision you feel like you will regret. Go with what you FIRST felt was the right direction. No one can tell you the better option, except for you, because only you know what you really truly want.

It's the UW. Absolutely take it, if you can swing it financially. Right now, you apparently impressed them a great deal. Should you wait, and waste away your high school years, it will be much more difficult to get into. UW is a "competitive" school. Most people who apply are NOT accepted. You don't know what your future holds.

What you're going to miss out in high school -- cliques, insecurity, people who judge you solely on how you look, teachers whose jobs are so secure that they're not wholly invested, prom (is prom what you're really worried about?), underage drinking, drug use, inappropriate affection.

UW has everything else that you think you might miss. Football games, friends, clubs, interesting teachers. One other thing, that may or may not be important to you (it was to my sister, who started at 14) -- UW has a high Asian population, which tends to be shorter than the average American. So, even at 15, you aren't going to be noticably smaller than everyone else.

Yes, you're going to study. But probably only an extra 1-2 hours per night beyond what you'd have to study in high school.

100% certain -- yes, attend. Congratulations! You must be quite the incredible individual.

I never thought high school was that great. College is no better and I am sure they will hold you to the same standards as the rest of the students in college. I would go for it and wish I had had the opportunity. In my experience, english courses are not that tought and probably won't require that much studying, just understanding material.

I'm not sure why you think you'll make more money if you skip high school. Skipping high school means you'll be taking remedial math courses in college (since you aren't ready for calculus) and probably remedial English as well. You'll be behind all the actual college students because you don't have any study skills, time management skills, and you're less mature. As a result, you're going to end up with a lower GPA and be less likely to get a good job or into grad / professional school. If you want to make good money, go to high school.

Nope. Never skipped. I did get in-school detention once, but it was in the last few weeks before graduation. Got a little out of control I did.

just go to private high school, there's less drama than public school and most of the time private schools are small so you get more one on one help from teachers with knowing what you want to do in the future and how to get there so you'll still be successful

hard matter look into on to search engines like google it could actually help

dont go to highschool, you will get bullied based on your looks (considering smart people arent usually attractive) no one is going to make fun of you in college. so go do it kiddo!
