    Write a report explaining what is troubling you about going to school, research homeschooling, then calmly and carefully explain making sure to highlight the things you have learnt about. If there's one hobby or interest that you're particularly good at i.e. dancing or something be sure to mention that you'll be able to do that more, especially if it's something you want to make a career out of.

    Also, if you're old enough to get a part time job, explain that you can do that more while homeschooling.

    Another good thing to mention is that if you're homeschooled you won't have peer pressure to deal with. You can socialise by going to Homeschool co-op groups. Show your parents some homeschool resources.

    Maybe politely ask what their objections are to your request and then see what you can find to ease those concerns. That's important, because your parents are your legal guardians and therefore you are their responsibility. It's important that you STAY CALM and keep a cool head while talking this through with your parents. It shows maturity.

    my kids are grown but if I had them now, I would home school since I have credentials and could teach them , reason.... school shootings, ...bullies.... tell your parents you can turn out to be a better person, because of so much negativity in schools now days, giving other kids attitudes to deal with them when if you didn't have that at home, you could focus more on education instead of problems. you can always go to a youth meeting at a nearby church to get social skills

    i was going through the same thing, at first my dad laughed at the thought of that. but now both my parents are open to it and said that i can do it if i wish to (i am and it’s great) they just said that they wanted to go through it with me and make sure it was what i want to do. so don’t stop persuading them, don’t go over the top, but also show that you are serious about this, i personally wrote out a list on my phone for the pros (don’t write cons) and then just showed it to my dad. don’t lose hope either, it took me a solid 2 months, but i probably had only 3 discussions in that period, cause you want them to digest the information and then wait for them to bring up the topic to you. what ever you do don’t get mad at them, you can get mad after you talked with them but not infornt of them.

    Tell them some stuff about stress, and learning at your own pace, and say you sometimes feel like cutting yourself, and that you cannot learn in school because of the drugs and profanity.

    Figure out what their objections are and address those. For example, if they’re concerned you’ll become a mom’s basement dwelling Yahoo! addict like irrational Mike up there, go out and get involved in a community activity now. Show them you can make a better argument than being hateful.

    tell them you are more focused when you are not around a bunch of leftist communist school teachers telling you that America is the cause for everything wrong in life

    Yes. Help.

    Who would do the teaching?

    Why would homschooling be better than regular schooling?
