What Happens if You Run Away from Home

You can look into the GED Program where you live. You can get that diploma by attending adult education classes. But no.program is going to put you back through the grades you've missed. Although as long as the law requires you to go to school your local school.district can put you back in the last grade you were in and you can go from there. But you will be several years older than your classmates.

NC, USA. Sorry it's taking me so long to respond. This is a family computer and this is the first I've been on it without someone looking at what I'm doing. My sister's been keep out of school same as me, but she's 20.

Also, if my mom does put me in school this year (always says she will, never attruly does) does the three years I've been kept out of school (and not homeschooled) mean anything?

Again, thank you all for all your help!

What COUNTY do you live in. NC is your state. You're right... you do need to be in school.

I'm sorry, mecklenburg (Charlotte) My zip is 28227. When I call, will I get a machine(Not a human)? Because I've called a number someone gave me, But it answered with a machine that didn't mention... this. It said "press 1 for this, press 2 for that,"; but it didn't say any number to press for not being in school.

Again, my mom says she's going to put me in a school this year (Still has not done so) if she does, do any of this mean anything?

I have to thank you for helping me, I've told so many that have not cared.

You will be put back in the 7th grade and you will have to go through each grade. Age doesn't matter, unless they have social promotion.

I find it funny how no one has given me a number to call yet.

I don't get why I was told, by you, that there's no program that will put me through the grades I missed, then being told I will have to go through EACH grade I "missed". Am I understanding you right Mercy&Grace? Why does it seem you are saying two different things?

CourtClerk, I thank you (And EVERYONE else) and hope you read my #14 post.

Keep laughing then. Look here, people on here have jobs and families and no one gets paid for answering the hundreds of posts on this board, so you have to learn to sit down and wait until someone gives you the FREE advice you're getting.

Call (704) 336-2273

Thank you. And sorry If I seemed ungrateful!

What I meant was that there is no program. It is public education, and you will be treated like all the other students. In other words, you being several years older than your classmates won't matter.


Being a few years older can make a huge difference when it comes to the social aspect and the older students usually, if not always,:drop out before earning their high school diploma.

I see what you are saying now. Sorry for what ever I said.

Thank you All! While I failed to call it this week, I will call it next week. I almost cry, like someone who has been searching for something for years, and finally sees it within sight. Thank You All For Helping!

Does anyone know if I can call this number with Gmail? Gmail gives you the option to call non emergency numbers. I tried calling with a payphone, but it spit out my coins when I put in the last digit. I do not have a phone plane.
