I'm a junior in high school and I'm really thinking about doing homeschool. It has came to my senses that school in deed really make me sad and when I think of it all I can see is me failing at classes, because I'm not smart enough. I feel like I'm better at one on one teaching, like a tutor. I also kind of think it's a silly idea and everybody, like my friends or family, will tell me to suck it up because I only have basically a year left. If I could get some opinions or advice or anything really it would be great.
Would homeschool be a good idea for me?

Having tutors is very expensive which is why only very rich parents can afford to have tutors alone teach their kids and even the rich send their kids to school, ok, a different kind fo school but you get what I mean. I guess your parents could get you tutors for help with classes you find difficult, this is not that expensive and could help build your confidence.
Homeschooling means you get taught by your parents and if you are in your final year of school I seriously doubt your parents would be up for that kind of educational challenge simple becasue they are no clued in to everything you need to be learning and the finalyear is so very important. Also I don't think they would be willing to give up their time (and a job if they both work) just to do the same thing your school is supposed to be doing. Homeschooling is great IF the parent(s?) are highly educated, committed and dedicated to what they are doing. I do not know your parents but I do know that if I asked my parents to homeschool me because I felt school was getting to demanding or was not fitting into my needs they would not offer to teach me themselves, I think they would laugh. They would (maybe) arrange a tutor for the subjects I find hard and I think that is your best bet, the angle you need to work.
To a point you do have to "just suck it up" but if you are having problems then now is a good time to bring it up, try to work out a reasoned arguement and present it to your family explaining why you see yourself failing, try to be serious and diplomatic in your approach so they understand that you are taking this seriously.
Good luck.
