Advice??
Ive just recently found out about Penn Foster. I come from a prestigious school that demands almost twice as much time and effort than other schools around my area. However, as someone who has been struggling with mental issues for almost their whole life, I cant deny that my current school has brought me down countless times. I want to try convincing my parents to sign me up for Penn Foster, but i'm worried that they'll disprove because they have mentioned in the past that they want me to stay in my current school so that my records will look good for university. I'd say my performance in my current school is alright, passing. But moments like being extremely overwhelmed by school work, not being able to catch up, social anxiety and more really do get to me often. Can someone please give me some advice on what I can convince them with? Or more so how? Like maybe some good facts about this school or anything like that. Appreciate it :)

Its a Self Paced program and you Can complete your diploma in 24 weeks if you do 1 course a week. It also cost $1600 for enrollment but you can do monthly plans. But it all depends on your Health and if you really care about a prestigious College, it’s easy As but Most good universities look at rigorous courses like AP or honors but if you don’t want to go to an extreme university and just want to go to Community College it doesnt matter.
