RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Either I never belonged in the remedial classes, the GED is a participation trophy, or both are true.

Bonus, I tested out of community college geometry, but struggle with online high school geometry. I mostly wanted the college class to have classroom support for the online high school classes. They refused to let me take the class because I tested out of it.

I have no idea what you're saying your goal is. You have a GED. You no longer get a diploma. Sure there may not be a rule saying you can't be Rodney Dangerfield or Billy Madison, but you gain nothing. A GED is a high school diploma equivalent in the USA and is acceptable in other countries too.

Your next step is community college. Or taking the ACT and SAT and applying to a 4 year university with your GED. Wasting time getting the equivalent of the equivalent gets you nowhere unless you have some very specific and weird requirement.
