Im really thinking of doing online school for my sophomore year but I’m just conflicted. I don’t have much friends and most of my classes were lonely last year. I have social anxiety and depression wich is why I want to stay home this year. I have no energy or motivation to have to get ready every single morning. I’m just scared because I’m already a very isolating person and I never leave the house. That’s one of the only things I’m kinda worried about because I’m afraid I’ll drive myself insane if I stay home the whole time. Not sure what to do honestly I’m stressing out
I have exactly the same issue and I was also stressing whether to do online or not but I finally decided to do online but to prevent myself from isolating, I decided to volunteer and follow a healthy schedule to heal my mental health because honestly while I am at in person school, I don't get time for my self care, but at online school, I can focus on myself which will be good for my mental health, I would suggest to volunteer every other day to prevent isolating yourself. I hope this helps you! Make this year for yourself and focus on your mental health and education!
This is really good advice! This is probably one of the hardest parts of doing online. Volunteering is really good, or if you're able to, getting a job can be really good for socializing! Finding hobbies I enjoy also helps me stay sane when I have free time lol. I would have never been able to start youtube or really any of my other interests if I wasn't doing online. I know how it feels tho to be in this situation, it's really stressful. I also find it's really good if you can schedule any type of event, or even just make plans to go to stores, parks, walks, anything to get you out of the house can be so helpful!
My rant about online school experience I am in of honor society, Nanowrimo, the young writer workshop, and the writer workout. I have a 3.37 GPA out of a 4.00 GPA, 22.50 credits out of 24.00 credits, and a top 3 in my class rank. My mental health and physical health issues result me dropping out of high school when I did a gap year to focus on my health before I finished my senior year to make the transition more simple. I am going to finish high school this year and head to post-secondary school right after I finish high school. I applying for dozens of scholarships and financial aid, I will be applied around 15 types of different scholarships plus financial aid and apply for the SAT/ACT exam with special accommodations and a fee waiver including two college applications. I am in an online private high school. Before you ask any questions, I have been held back twice in middle school and elementary school due to my disabilty and behavior at school results in them to hold me back and I took a gap year right after I finished 11th grade and before I headed to my senior year so I took a gap year. I did online schooling in my freshman year and half of my 8th-grade year in second semester but then went back to public school in my 10th grade and 11th grade, now I am finishing high school online as my senior year.
@@susyreyes74 I go to a school called "International Schooling" that is the name. To enrol you just have to contact the admin and ask for the requirements needed to join the school, the price varies for each grade, the amount of courses you take and weather your classes are one-to-one, group, or self study. It is quite affordable though. It is different for everyone and it might take a while to find what works.
I’m in my freshman year right now and Im thinking about switching to online. I don’t have any friends or social skills in general because of my horrible anxiety , i eat lunch on the bathroom floor everyday because the cafeteria is loud and nobody would let me sit with them anyways,I get made fun of because I don’t have the motivation or energy to put effort into my appearance , I’m already tired once I get to school because I have to walk every single day(I’m late almost everyday). Work is easy, but I cannot do it with people talking and making loud noises so I say I’ll do it at home. Once I get home I’m physically and mentally exhausted and can’t do anything, I have to choose between free time, a shower, or doing homework because I barely have the energy to do one. And I feel so unaccomplished because I’m not in any clubs or sports and by the time I get home and get comfy its already dark (my school lasts till 4:30pm) and on top of all of that i live in a constant mess until saturday when I have the time and energy to clean. I don’t want to isolate myself socially but i feel like it wouldn’t make a difference either way.
i have social anxiety, depression, adhd and autism. i am having a really hard time in high school, so i am going to do online school or go to a private school. wish me luck!
Currently in online school and it’s pretty lonely, I’d rather be in public school. Out of everyone only one person is my friend and we barely talk, and when we do it’s over a zoom call which has annoying restrictions since neither of us has the paid version.
I dont have any friends. Every time I've made them ive ended up losing them so i dont really have a drive to communicate with many people. I have my dog and cat and theyre all i feel like i need. high school, for me, has become a living nightmare.
I’m in 8th grade but I really just feel like public school is just not for me but I don’t know if me being in middle school it will be more lonely if u go to online
I'm in the same position but I think as long as u go out often and have physical actives u do yourself then u wont feel the loneliness and even so friends are everywhere and u just need to find them! Which in my perspective also includes online friends. I also want to join online school and maybe if we join the same one we can be friends I also am in 8th grade
Hii, I was in your exact shoes a few years ago! I left public school a few months into my freshman year of high school (and covid was right before that). In just my personal experience, high school was no better for me than middle school was (as far as being unhappy in public school) but I know so many people thrive in high school! If your thinking about leaving public school and you live in a place where you can get out often, or you do sports, or any extra curricular activities outside of school, or if you already have friends you can keep in touch with, those things can all help a lot with loneliness! (not that you'll automatically be lonely, but in the event that you are). I don't think leaving in middle school will be much different than if you were to leave in high school (unless you met new people or had a better time in high school, but I know the feeling of just wanting to get out of there.) I know this can be a really hard decision, but regardless of what you end up doing, nothing is permanent and everything will work out! :)
hii, i love this video !! but could you get more in-depth about like which program you use? some pros and cons maybe? im just trying to figure out which program would be best for me :)
Hii! I am hoping to make another video about this very soon, but I use acellus and I personally like them the best out of any program I've tried. I answered another persons comment more in depth, but in summary it is very self paced, I do not have to do video calls with any teachers, all of my work is graded electronically (which I like because it allows me to move ahead quickly) I watch pre recorded videos of each teacher teaching their class and then answer the questions/ worksheets that follow, and they also provide additional workbooks you can look at if you ever get stuck or confused on any questions. I'm happy to answer any other questions you have, but I hope this helped!
I personally am not looking to attend college (for the time being anyway) but if I wanted to go I absolutely could! As long as you do a credited online school program (which you would also need in order to get a diploma, and you almost always have to pay for those) I believe you can still get into any college the same as if you were in public school. Some colleges look for online students, others I'm sure are more hesitant about them, but generally I think it's about the same as being in public school.
honestly i went to online school just to stay at home lol not really social anxiety i always had like 4 close friends at a time inperson and the loneliness doesnt really bother me
Hopefully you see this. I’m a sophomore and I’m very socially anxious so I’ve wanted to do online school. Today was my first day of school and I brung up the idea to my parents they were telling me it would take weeks to get in one but I don’t think I can take wait that long. So how long do you think it will take to enroll in an online school.
Hii! I've been in the exact same boat! I work through Acellus and the most time consuming part was getting my credits transferred. We basically called and did it over the phone but since I had gone in and out of public school a few times, my credits were a little messed up (which meant I had to take placement tests and talk to lots of people lol). If this is your first time tho, they should be able to just do it online or over the phone and it really shouldn't take more than a few days (if not sooner) (although I think it really depends on the program you choose.) It's gonna be okay tho! I also struggle with social anxiety and know how it feels to be hanging on by a literal thread in public school. I promise if you stick it out a little longer, things will get better. Good luck!!
Im in middle school right now and Im a introvert i also find it hard to get along with people so I get left out most of the time so I will be asking my mom to sign up for online school and I also feel like my mental health isnt good right now so I want to look into doing online courses.
I totally feel your pain, I've been through a few different programs and it really makes a huge difference! I don't know what specific things you'd be looking for in a program, because I know everyone has different priorities, but I always recommend acellus academy. It's the simplest layout I've seen so far and the videos are very digestible. If you have any other questions about it, I'm happy to answer them. :)
I also decided to do online school this year for exactly all the reasons you stated and most importantly because of social anxiety but I am kind of nervous as I got enrolled in connections academy, so I am not sure if it's good. Please let me know which online school you're doing, as I don't think connections academy is a good idea. Please reply as soon as possible 😭
Hii I work through Acellus academy and I really love them! You do have to pay for it tho so just keep that in mind. I wish I could help you out with connections academy, but I really don't know anything about them. Good luck with your school year tho!! :)
My 15 year old wants to do online schooling. We're currently researching the options. One of my concerns is that most of the schools we have researched have very few students. As an example: Acellus has 190 students, SORA has 446, and Prisma has 423. Do you have any secular schools you could recommend?
Im in 9th grade and have done online /homeschool my whole life and i still have a social life,a job, good grades,and lots of free time ❤ thats just my personal experiance tho it deffinately depends on the situation.
Please someone tell me if it’s possible to join an American online school program as an European citizen living in Tanzania?! My situation is kinda complicated and I don’t want to drop out from school but going online is my only option…
I have struggled with lots of stress and anxiety while being in public school, I have been doing lots of research and decided that online school would be the best decision for me. I know that online school is at your own pace, but how long do you have before an assignment is actually due? I tend to learn slower than most people at my school, so I fall behind quickly, do you get a few weeks or even a month to get things turned in? Also, would you say that your grades improved when you started online school?
Hii, I'm sorry for the late reply! With the program I use, there is no deadline for any assignments. They let me know when I've completed a days worth of work for every subject, which is how I know I've done enough work for the day. I can skip a day, a week, or even a month, but I'm pretty sure I do have to have everything completed by a certain time during the year (I'm not exactly sure when that is because I've never gotten to that point) so it really is up to me to keep myself on track. As long as you are able to discipline yourself enough, this can be really great if you learn slower! I've always had a hard time with math and I was drowning in public school because I always needed extra help, and there was never enough time. With this, I can spend as long as I need on my assignments, and it works much better overall (that is just my personal experience tho!) As far as my grades, they are muuuuch better than they were in public school. Overall I'm able to actually focus on my work and I feel like I'm truly learning. In public school I was constantly distracted and uncomfortable and it was effecting my grades a lot.
Ah I know this feeling! The first thing I did when I knew I wanted to leave public school was just research different online programs. Once we chose one, my parents enrolled me, then we called to tell the public school I was unenrolling. It's gonna be a little different depending on the process of signing up for each online school, but this is the very basics of what I did! Theres nothing you really need other than a plan I would say. :)
With the program I chose, yes 100%! I am on track to graduate early, but if I wasn't also balancing other things I could definitely be done a lot sooner. It really comes down to how much time your'e willing to dedicate to it, but it is absolutely doable!
What was the first thing u did when u joined online school? Like did u go on call w someone that introduced everything to u or what i am not sure how u started or how to start
Once I found a program, we paid the enrollment fee, we set up an account (and my mom was calling people from my public school to get my information transferred to the people within the online program), and then I was all set! We were also on the phone with someone briefly and they were going over payment information, but if there is more that they have to tell you, I'm sure it will come up during enrollment. A lot of the time they just tell you everything you need to know up front (like on the website and everything) but it just depends on the school. I know every school operates differently and I wish I had more information to give, but thats really all I did to get started.
I tried to do research but its hard to find, in online school is it like 2020 where you are on video calls or is it all home based and you gotta do work, tryna figure about because I want to work a full time job
Hii, sorry for the late reply! The program I use is called Acellus. They have pre recorded videos that you watch and you just have regular questions and tests like you would in school. There are also online textbooks they provide.Theres no zoom calls tho, and you totally go at your own pace (every program is going to be different tho).
I would like to know more about how u found proper online schools and how it really works i dont want to go into this blind u mentioned that is was nothing like normal school so it confuses me if not how how does the system work? I want to go to online school bc i get highhhhhh depression bc of every school i went to and how much time i even spend there i have a lot of questions about the times,classes and duration of online school i really hope u answer bc there isnt much resources on TH-cam that tell u much about the actual experience no sugar coating
Hii, I know how you feel, starting online school can be really overwhelming! You're right about it not being talked about very much! Finding a program was honestly one of the hardest parts. It's really hard to know if the program is right for you until you do it. Of course you cant really just sample a bunch of different schools because I know theres payments and its a whole process. I tried multiple different ones before I settled on Acellus Academy, and I personally like that one the best. So with Acellus I do not have to do any video calls with teachers and there are no set times that I have to be on classes (but that is not the case for every school!) Basically all of my classes are laid out on a student page, I can click on them in any order and do them at any time. All of the teaching is just pre recorded videos that I watch and answer questions on afterwards (there is a teacher for every class but I do not interact with them at all). All of my work is graded electronically and I just answer whatever questions come after each video. It is very self paced and I can watch as many videos at one time as I want. I am hoping to make another video about this for my next upload (if not the next one, then the one after that lol) and I hope I can explain better there. I know there is a lot of unknown, but I promise it's not as scary as it seems. Once you choose a program, it's usually very self explanatory to navigate (if it is a good program). I wish I could tell you more about how to find a good program, but really all I did was google them and read what all of them had to offer. I really hoped this helped a little, good luck!
I’m considering starting online next year for my sophomore year, i’m just not sure my parents would agree to it? Was that ever a problem for you, like convincing your parents ?
Thankfully, my parents were very supportive when I told them I wanted to do online school, especially because they could see how drained public school was making me. I'm very grateful they were understanding, but I was definitely worried about how they'd react at first! Of course every family is going to react differently, but my biggest piece of advice is to just be as clear as you can when you present the idea to them. Gathering the biggest reasons why you want to leave public school, and how you think online school would be better for you (wether it's because you'd be less stressed, you think you'd learn better, you want to be more independent, you think it would improve your mental health, you'd have time for other hobbies you enjoy) or whatever the case may be, that might help them to hear you out more. If you haven't asked them already, good luck! :)
thank you so so much for this video. i’m 13 and in 8th grade and public school has NEVER benefited me. it always causes me so much depression and anxiety and it’s SO incredibly draining and stressful. im really hoping i can get approved for the online program my mom is trying to approve me for. from your experience, it sounds like this will be very beneficial for me! 🩷🩷
Im really thinking of doing online school for my sophomore year but I’m just conflicted. I don’t have much friends and most of my classes were lonely last year.

As long as you are able to discipline yourself enough, this can be really great if you learn slower! I've always had a hard time with math and I was drowning in public school because I always needed extra help, and there was never enough time. With this, I can spend as long as I need on my assignments, and it works much better overall (that is just my personal experience tho!) As far as my grades, they are muuuuch better than they were in public school. Overall I'm able to actually focus on my work and I feel like I'm truly learning. In public school I was constantly distracted and uncomfortable and it was effecting my grades a lot.
I want to ask how they inform u about what assignments u have done and about how to joined and signed up for the online school u where in
What do i need to do online school? Like, where i start?😭
Ah I know this feeling! The first thing I did when I knew I wanted to leave public school was just research different online programs. Once we chose one, my parents enrolled me, then we called to tell the public school I was unenrolling. It's gonna be a little different depending on the process of signing up for each online school, but this is the very basics of what I did! Theres nothing you really need other than a plan I would say. :)
tysm for this!!
Do you feel like you have potential to graduate early with online school?
With the program I chose, yes 100%! I am on track to graduate early, but if I wasn't also balancing other things I could definitely be done a lot sooner. It really comes down to how much time your'e willing to dedicate to it, but it is absolutely doable!
@@Morganriley333 For the program u joined from what ages/grades did they allow and how much was the pay?
Online school is great if you want to have a horrible experience. Teachers haven’t responded to me in 2 MONTHS dropping my grades in highschool!!!
Not me want to be doing online school
do you have to go to school for tests?
nope
I have no friends it’s sad😢
What was the first thing u did when u joined online school? Like did u go on call w someone that introduced everything to u or what i am not sure how u started or how to start
Once I found a program, we paid the enrollment fee, we set up an account (and my mom was calling people from my public school to get my information transferred to the people within the online program), and then I was all set! We were also on the phone with someone briefly and they were going over payment information, but if there is more that they have to tell you, I'm sure it will come up during enrollment. A lot of the time they just tell you everything you need to know up front (like on the website and everything) but it just depends on the school. I know every school operates differently and I wish I had more information to give, but thats really all I did to get started.
I tried to do research but its hard to find, in online school is it like 2020 where you are on video calls or is it all home based and you gotta do work, tryna figure about because I want to work a full time job
Hii, sorry for the late reply! The program I use is called Acellus. They have pre recorded videos that you watch and you just have regular questions and tests like you would in school. There are also online textbooks they provide.Theres no zoom calls tho, and you totally go at your own pace (every program is going to be different tho).
I wanna join one online school but I have no information about online schooling can you help me out
I would like to know more about how u found proper online schools and how it really works i dont want to go into this blind u mentioned that is was nothing like normal school so it confuses me if not how how does the system work? I want to go to online school bc i get highhhhhh depression bc of every school i went to and how much time i even spend there i have a lot of questions about the times,classes and duration of online school i really hope u answer bc there isnt much resources on TH-cam that tell u much about the actual experience no sugar coating
Hii, I know how you feel, starting online school can be really overwhelming! You're right about it not being talked about very much! Finding a program was honestly one of the hardest parts. It's really hard to know if the program is right for you until you do it. Of course you cant really just sample a bunch of different schools because I know theres payments and its a whole process. I tried multiple different ones before I settled on Acellus Academy, and I personally like that one the best. So with Acellus I do not have to do any video calls with teachers and there are no set times that I have to be on classes (but that is not the case for every school!) Basically all of my classes are laid out on a student page, I can click on them in any order and do them at any time. All of the teaching is just pre recorded videos that I watch and answer questions on afterwards (there is a teacher for every class but I do not interact with them at all). All of my work is graded electronically and I just answer whatever questions come after each video. It is very self paced and I can watch as many videos at one time as I want. I am hoping to make another video about this for my next upload (if not the next one, then the one after that lol) and I hope I can explain better there. I know there is a lot of unknown, but I promise it's not as scary as it seems. Once you choose a program, it's usually very self explanatory to navigate (if it is a good program). I wish I could tell you more about how to find a good program, but really all I did was google them and read what all of them had to offer. I really hoped this helped a little, good luck!
@@Morganriley333THANK U SO MUCH THIS MEANING THE WORLD TO ME I wonder if they program u are using is hopefully for the country I live in as well
I’m considering starting online next year for my sophomore year, i’m just not sure my parents would agree to it? Was that ever a problem for you, like convincing your parents ?
Thankfully, my parents were very supportive when I told them I wanted to do online school, especially because they could see how drained public school was making me. I'm very grateful they were understanding, but I was definitely worried about how they'd react at first! Of course every family is going to react differently, but my biggest piece of advice is to just be as clear as you can when you present the idea to them. Gathering the biggest reasons why you want to leave public school, and how you think online school would be better for you (wether it's because you'd be less stressed, you think you'd learn better, you want to be more independent, you think it would improve your mental health, you'd have time for other hobbies you enjoy) or whatever the case may be, that might help them to hear you out more. If you haven't asked them already, good luck! :)
@@Morganriley333 Ok thank you!
3:45 OH MY GOD 😭😭😭😭

thank you so so much for this video. i’m 13 and in 8th grade and public school has NEVER benefited me. it always causes me so much depression and anxiety and it’s SO incredibly draining and stressful. im really hoping i can get approved for the online program my mom is trying to approve me for. from your experience, it sounds like this will be very beneficial for me! 🩷🩷
