Does he eventually want to at least get a trade? Some college?
I found out that "technically" my "homeschooling" did NOT meet the provinces grad requirements but they let it slide. May be taht's the case in his area aswell?

JW and Home Schooling WHY, WHY, WHY????????
by Wordly Andre ini just heard that my nephew will not be attending high school, instead will be doing home schooling, why do jws pressure their kids into home schooling?
i really do love my nephew he is a bright kid, i think he would do really great in high school, and hopefully attend college, but i was informed yesterday that he will not be going to high school because its not safe, and besides he made the decision not to go.
i am sorry but he should go, i know what they got planned for him, home school and full time service, this is the time of his life where he needs to concentrate on his education, he will end up just like his mother, who also never attended high school, seems that when your totally lost into the society, covering all aspects of your life, that leaves you socially inept, depressed, and have a distorted view of the world.

*waves @ atypical*
You can find a way to go to school, there's loans, scholarships, bursaries etc. If you research what you really want to do and know the employment rate and salary in your area, then you can figure out what your loan payments would be versus what your new salary will be. This is what I did and it should work out great (plus I got a bursary for both years of my new program).
I've worked while going to school before and it hasn;t really been a problem as long as I schedule set study times (lunch hours and before first class of the day worked out really well) I never had to study after scholl as I got it done during the day.
You can do it. :P

<<he will not be going to High School because its not safe, and besides he made the decision not to go.>>
BS in my opinion. What kid *wants* to be sheltered in the house with his parents 24 hrs a day?
I was pulled out after jr high and "home schooled" this was code for work your ass for the fall months on an elder's farm (yup, that's right) so I could pay the hundreds of dollars for the courses and books.
Of course this meant that I got a late start on my studies for the year and so had to cram it all in if I wanted to finish. There was no "schooling" I taught myself everything, if I ran into problems I had to figure it out myself.
There are huge gaps in my knowledge base.
My parents told everyone that I *wanted* to be homeschooled, when in reality it was their way or find someplace else to live. -

I've been on welfare, I've come close to being standing in line at the food bank, I've cried because I've had nothing to eat in the house for a few days. If it was not for the kindness of strangers, coworkers and friends I would have must likely been out on the streets.
Were it not for my stubborness and determination to BE something I don't know where I would be today.
<<Reminding me that even though life seems to have left...it is still there for the taking.>>
It is far too easy to become compliant with the life we have and stop going after the life we want.
All I want for my and my future children's lives is that drive to make what we want a reality.

Who would you like to be with, if there was to be an Armageddon
by JH inlets say that armageddon was imminent and you would deduce that you wouldn't be saved, who would you want to be with to enjoy your last moments alive?

not pointing fingers
by dvw infirst off, i want to make it clear, i am not accusing anyone of any misdeeds.
there are alot of topics on here like; "show your picture, what do you do for a living?, how did you pick your screen name?
these are probably innocent posts by nice people.

What else is going to happen? I already lost all my friends and family, none of them talk to me. What else could they do?
I try to not pinpoint exactly *where* I am in the world, where I work etc. but I don't see what I do for living threatening my existence.
