Hey everyone, I know I haven't posted here in furever, but I really need some advice.
I've been having a lot of trouble in school lately. Actually, the past three or four years have just sucked for me when it came to school, but especially now.
I've been suspended for three days for a fairly petty reason and I will be returning to school on Monday. My parents and I have to go into the school and meet with the principle and board of...whomever... to discuss my readmittance etc. Now, I have a 40 average currently. I'm not motivated and I've basically just really messed up. The deal with coming back to school after the suspension is that there's a 0 tolerance policy. One more trip down to the office and I'm expelled. I"m in grade 11, the chances of me not getting in trouble in the next two years are slim to none.
Here are my options
a) I return to school, try to get my marks up, and hope to god I don't get in sh!t one more time because if I do I'm expelled.
b) I take a year off, work, and then go back to school.
c) I stop going to school and take online courses.
All I keep thinking is that it's better for me to drop out than get expelled and at this point getting expelled looks inevitable. But I also love the people in my school and I really don't want to leave. I just can't motivate myself. It doesn't even make sense to me anymore. I just...can't and I don't understand why. The whole school situation just hasn't worked out for me. If I stay, I'm scared I'll just continue doing badly and then i'm just wasting my time. If I could find some motivation I KNOW that i'm smart..but geez, i dno if i can.
If you were me, and you had this much at stake, what would you do? Which option would be better?
