Complete School in America?

[ForbiddenDesires]

Its been a while since I've been on here, so hello once again.

My friend of 2 years, and boyfriend of a few months now has wanted me to go over there and meet him, no problem...

I'm in Australia, year 11, and I'm planning on quitting school (doing so tomorrow actually), and I wanted to see if i could start up in America, would that be qualified as completing high school? Or would Australia not recognise that?

 

Please and thankyou. Any opinion is a good opinion.

I would advise against quitting school tomorrow!

 

You would need to apply to a high school in your boyfriend's area, send a transcript, recommendations, etc ... and have them accept you. Call up the schools in his area and ask them - they are the experts. Make sure you go through proper channels instead of quitting school, going there and finding out you don't have proper qualifications and paperwork.

 

My main concern is that you have never met your boyfriend in person. Do you really think it's a wise idea to pick up and move over there before you have even met? What if you don't like him once you get there? Do you have a plan B? Will you go back to Australia? I know you feel really bonded, close, and "in love" right now, but the fact is that you don't know what he's like in real, physical life ... and there is a possibility you will not like the reality.

 

Even if you had met him I would advise against moving. You are very young, and the relationship is very new. Much to early in both your life and the life of the relationship to be making these kinds of decisions, in my opinion. Have you talked to your parents? What do they think about it?

I also would advice against it, its better to have something to fall back on in case when things go wrong. You don't know how this adventure will end up, or even if you like living in the states, so don't burn your ships behind you in case that you need to go back. For whatever possible sircumstance life throws at you.
