Im 15 and homeschooled against my will, is there anyway i can get in public school without my parents say so?

Home schooling is a lot different now than a few years ago. Home schooling specialists all recognize that home schooled students still need opportunities to interact with others their same sage. Check around to see what group opportunities might be available. Sometimes home schooler associations promote various programs to provide educational opportunities that are impossible in a home setting. I'm thinking of sports programs, especially. I've read in the newspapers about home schoolers getting together for drama classes, and putting on dramatic presentations. Music is a good way to get connected with a group, especially instruments that are played in bands and orchestras.

No, there isn't a way for you to enroll yourself. You're a minor, you have no legal say in the matter. And this hardly qualifies for child protective services getting involved. The only way for you to live with someone else would be with parental approval. However, you could try approaching your parents with your actual problems instead of the one solution you've found. Put public school aside for now and just ask them for help in having more social activities. Ask them what they would approve of, ask them about homeschooling groups and other things. If they want control, then put it in their hands but focus on the PROBLEM--which is sitting around the house all day and not socializing--and let them deal with it since that's what they want to do. Do NOT make a fuss. You cancel any good feelings they have about you when you make a fuss. You may not want to hear this, but bear with me: cater to their every whim. The more you fight against them, the more control they feel they need over you. Play the role. Ask them for permission for everything and don't make any fusses. Go rant all of your feelings in a journal or with a friend, then put on a cooperative face for your parents. They will ease off. The control is so they feel they can trust you, and if you resist, then they get the message that you don't want to to the things that will keep you safe and "uncorrupted". What do they want from you? Do it. You don't have to like it, it doesn't have to be fair, just do it. This stage is temporary--you won't be living with them until you're 50 ;). Just do what you have to so that your living conditions are more bearable. Forget about how YOU want the living conditions to be; that's where your unhappiness is coming from, because things aren't the way you want them to be. You will have your entire adult life to live your life the way you want to. It sounds kind of depressing, I know, but you've only got 3 more years to go. And if you follow my advice, you will find you'll get more freedom.

Considering your age? No. Your parents would have to agree to let you live elsewhere, and agree to letting these people send you to public school. I suggest having a *Calm and Mature* conversation with your parents. That you miss your friends, and that public school is a big part of growing up. Perhaps if you mention joining an after school club, or joining a sport team,study group etc.. helps teenagers stay 'safe' and offer to keep tabs with your parents they will warm up to the idea. However there is no way to *force* them, and trying to do so will only reinforce their idea that you are not mature enough. If they refuse to budge, wait it out. Get a part time job when your old enough[16 in most city's] and save up so you can move out as soon as you can. In the meantime, try to warm up to homeschooling yourself. I am in online classes, and yes it can be boring and lonely but there are ways to entertain yourself and keep contact with friends. Perhaps inviting your friends..or at least the most mature ones, for a family dinner your parents will *hopefully* get a good impression of the people you hang out with and be more likely to give you space.

I think you could probably go to court and get emancipated. However, just because you're homeschooled doesn't mean you can't have a social life. You've probably reached a stage in your life when you'd feel something similar wherever you were. We have a big home educating community and the problem for us is that there's an anti-intellectual culture in our group, but there's not a lot of sitting about. Maybe you could look into Lifebeat. My daughter just went on it and it really helped her.

Sorry to hear bout u being home schooled. I'm 15 also and my mom was thinking bout homeschooling me but she decided not to. Sorry but no. Your parents have to like sign papers and allow you t go to a public school.

I don't think so

you most likely can't get into public school against their will cuz you have to fill out many papers and stuff for school that your parents have to sign and all that stuff

No really you have to have a parents say to do alot of things and that is definatly one fo them sorry.

No - But it sounds like you might need to listen to your parents side as well and maybe try to be respectful of their decision. If you show them that you can be trusted and quit complaining so much to them they might loosen up on you. This is me taking from experience! You are only 15 - too young to be doing too much socializing and at 15 girls really need to be careful. They are you parents and when you have children you will understand their control is really just love for you. You don't want to live with someone else "NO ONE will LOVE you LIKE your Parents DO" again from experience. I moved out and it was the worse mistake I ever made. Study Hard, Respect your Parents and you will have plenty of time to socialize. College is GREAT for that and you will be ready for it when you get there. If you really feel like there is a problem talk to your pastor at church and see if he will talk with your parents.
