<p>Yeah, i've been thinking about those things timely. It's just that I want a challenge in school and no one has been able to provide it. I get so frustrated when i'm in a slow moving class and know I could be getting more accomplished in a different setting. What I really wanted even more than homeschooling was boarding school. I am pretty sure that my dad is bipolar but refuses to get a diagnosis or treatment. Living with him is really difficult and it holds me back. His behavior towards me causes me a ton of stress and his family doesn't seem to see the problems in his behavior. </p>
<p>Mostly I think i'm frustrated by their lack of willingness to compromise. I would love to sit down and calmly discuss this whole thing with my parents and grandparents, but from my experience with them it won't happen. When I mention school to my mom, she tells me to stop talking about it because my dad doesn't need the stress. Talking to my dad usually ends in a fight. My grandparents usually use major guilt trips even if I don't mention it, so I don't bother.</p>
