<p>Ok to make a long story short, I developed social phobia in 8th grade. Passed it anyways. Homeschooled 9th grade. Started in November. Passed main classes (gym, math, science, english, history) Went into 10th grade which is now. I still haven't gotten any homeschooling. They're giving me a hard time. I haven't gotten an education yet. They really want me to go back to school. But I can't. I've started depersonalizing even at the thought of it. Failing everything obviously. Probably gonna get held back. I've talked to lawyers and stuff and they can't help me.</p>
<p>My question is, if I get held back this year and do ok next year and the year after and start at a community college to get my grades up, can I still get accepted into a 4 year university and then maybe even medical school. All my life I've wanted to be a neurosurgeon and I feel like I can't anymore because of this stupid school. Believe me, if I COULD go, I would. I'm in therapy and everything too. it's not like i don't WANT to learn. I do.</p>
<p>Also, I might be able to pass this year with 65's in my main subjects if I start going into this little room at this school on friday. They won't give me work unless I'm IN the school, so I gotta sit in a little room with a teacher. What do you guys think? Am i basically screwed? :/</p>
<p>I would recommend seeking psychological help in other ways if your therapy isn’t working.</p>
<p>If you end up going to community college and transferring to a four-year university, you can certainly go to medical school (assuming you do well in college). You will, however, have to get a grip on your social phobia.</p>
<p>Good luck, you can do it.</p>
<p>what exactly is social phobia ???</p>
<p>Being afraid of social situations. Getting panic attacks near people…</p>
<p>have you tried to find the root cause, is it because you are afraid of people judging you or for some other reason …</p>
<p>if you go to community college you can definately go to good four year colleges afterwards. however, I’m not sure what your chances of getting into community college are. if you get in then you definately have a chance.
I don’t really know much about admissions for community college
good luck!</p>
<p>Community College admissions= nonexistant. They can be very good schools for very good opportunities, however: some of the most influential people in my life went to Community college.</p>
<p>kandeeee, as long as you can handle the atmosphere of learning with 20-30 people around you (and sometimes answering questions in front of them), then I think community college is a good choice for jump-starting your education.</p>
<p>Thanks you guys!</p>
<p>And i think it’s that I am afraid of getting judged because people tend to pick on me a lot because of the way I dress and my lack of social interaction and my hobbies and interests (like, i’d always be reading in school. I read a lot about philosophy and paranormal stuff, but stuff mostly about the brain (considering i’d like to be a neurosurgeon, and if I bring that up in conversation people are like “*** ur ■■■■■■■■. no one cares” -___-) and most of all my height. I’m 4’11". I mean I’d just say “eff it” and go, but now my depersonalization is getting worse and I can’t even leave my room anymore.</p>
