Graduating high school a full year early?

<p>Hello. Currently, I am a fifteen year old sophomore in high school. My schedule as it stands for next year is set for me to skip my junior year (my mother is pushing for this). I will be graduating at 16 if I do this. I really don't know if I want to leave high school that early and I probably won't be mature enough for college. On the other hand, if I went another year I would have to take extra classes that are unneccessary. However, there is something I need to explain first.</p>

<p>I took German I in 7th and 8th grade. In 7th grade, I had teacher A and in 8th grade I had teacher B. Teacher A retired after I took German in 7th grade (first half of German 1). However, I changed schools when I went to high school (I was in IB before at a different school than I was zoned for). Teacher C taught at the high school I go to now, but got fired. Since no other teacher could be found, teacher A un-retired to come back and teach the students who were abandoned after German I. I took the class with them. So basically, I have two years of German, but most universities want 3. </p>

<p>In my schedule, I am set to take two French's. My guidance councellor says that she could write a special letter to a university that wants 3 language credits to explain my situation OR I could take French at tech OR I could extend my schedule to senior year and take French 3 then. </p>

<p>I just don't know what to do! I really don't think I'm ready to graduate early, but my mom really wants me to, and I have already changed my schedule. I would have to change it AGAIN. There are so many things I want to accomplish in high school that I haven't accomplished yet..</p>

<p>Why does your mom want you to graduate early?</p>

<p>There are many threads on this forum where people discourage kids from graduating early. You might want to look for some of them and use them as discussion points with your mom.</p>
