Any way to 'subtly' skip grade 10?
I'm a grade 10 student in the Philippines. Unfortunately, it's been very rough this year. There were issues, bullying, backstabbing - I just feel like I'm not respected in class.
I wasn't allowed to change sections. My adviser saw the treatment and requested a sanction in which I can change sections thru the higher office. It got rejected. I don't particularly know why. Instead, she talked to the whole class about it. I understand that she meant well and I appreciate the gesture. But this, as you'd think, didn't persuade narcissistic bullies. People either went on what they're doing or just gave me a very "fake" treatment, which I didn't appreciate any more than the former.
It's already 3rd quarter and it's just getting worse and worse for me mentally and emotionally. I do go to a prestigiously-named high school, which I don't care for but my parents do. They won't let me change schools, let alone stop for a school year.
I know this might be a very pretentious question but I'm quite desperate -- is there any way I can just skip grade 10, what's the best way to excuse myself for the rest of the year?
I'll take ANYTHING. I've been trying to get into so much extracurricular activities and contests as a way out, but even that is affecting my social stand. I lost myself, and I'm ashamed of who I've become in class. I'm absolutely mentally deprived. I was diagnosed with anxiety as I've been requested to go under therapy. It's not getting better. I need to get out of the exact environment that's hurting me. I cannot heal if I keep getting bruised. I cannot move on if people around me haven't. I cannot be happy if people around me won't let me.
I swear I'll take any tests, jobs, programs that can help me skip the rest of the year academically. Believe it or not, those options are way more realistic than asking my parents to let me transfer to another school (unless it's better than the school I'm attending, tho trust me, I've checked every possible institution and they're not accepting mid-year transfers), let alone let me skip the rest of the year. I know this sounds like something I should just discuss with fellow guardians, but I live in very traditional household and there's nothing much I can do right now.
No matter how hard, no matter how complicated, I'm ready to take any tests, special programs, exchange programs, even if takes me to have to go to another country, anything, anything that can qualify me out of this school, this life.
Fellow Filipino high schoolers, what are my options?
