Q: Can my mother re enroll me into high school at 18years old?

My mother told me she call re enroll me into high school even though I have not actively attended school for the last year and I just turned 18 within the last month. Is this true?

1 Lawyer Answer

A: Have you not finished HS and graduated? Then you should, and it seems your mother is helping you. You need to complete your HS education - it is important for your future. If you don't want to attend HS, talk to the HS guidance counselor and find out about alternatives, and then talk to your mother. She obviously is trying to do what is in your best interest, even though you might not see it or appreciate it.
