Hey newbie, I have daughters your age and the one thing I want to tell you is there is no rule that says you have to go to highschool. If you are a senior, finishing is great, but if you are a junior why not find a christian college and explain your situation and try to get in? Also depression is a reason for something called a 504, and if your needs are not being met you can have special accomodations to help you succeed. I remember very little about high school and have not kept contact with anyone at all. I wouldn't recognize most of them now I bet. You have the power to help make your life the way you want it to be. As for pets, gotta have them!
