My mom(on her own, with no input from me, my sibling, or my dad) started homeschooling me and my brother in the 2020/2021 school year, when I was in 5th grade. She made this decision because public school was “too woke”, and took it into her own hands to make my schooling almost entirely Christian nationalist and young earth creationist propaganda.

I just finished 10th grade this year, and in the state that I live in I can go to college(paid for by the state) as dual enrollment in 11th and 12th grade. At first I was really happy because the community college in my area has all the classes I want to take and resources to get me there, but my parents will not allow me to go there. They want me to finish high school with my associates degree in biblical studies at a random Christian college with close to no classes that will help me work towards the majors im looking into, and on top of it all, it’s online. I wanted to enroll in person at least, because the ONLY interactions and relationships I’ve had with other people since I was 10 years old was an echo chamber of culty Christians.

I genuinely don’t know what to do. I don’t want to let my mom ruin my college education like she has my middle and high school. I’ve taken learning into my own hands but there’s only so much I can do. I really want to be able to take classes I want these two years to work towards a biology degree and get my generals done but I’m afraid it’s too late. I really really want to learn, but she keeps messing everything up for me and I can’t convince her to let me do anything else.

Next year I’ll be enrolling as an adult so she won’t be able to stop me, but is there anything else anyone can think of to do for this year?

(Also thanks if you read all of this, I feel like I should give you a cookie or smth for getting through that)
