MyLot has another drama, and we welcome you to our ranks. Why would they not want to sign your registration papers? I teach seniors, and I know at least a third of the parents' signatures on the documents we require are forged. Kids don't even try to hide it, when they turn in the paperwork the same day we give it to them, and they couldn't have gone home yet! My husband went to school in LA for a year or so when he was in high school and he always forged the signatures, because his parents weren't interested. I don't mean to advise you to do something wrong, but you MUST get into school and graduate! Stay away from those work camps and DEFINITELY stay asway from those hitman jobs. You'll eventually end up in prison, and that's no fun at all. Keep trying to get righteous signatures on the papers, if you can.

Lol, that forging the signature part was the first thing that popped up in my head, but yeah, it's illegal. It's really strange that they would not want you to go. With a high school degree you would get better pay when you get a job. Without the diploma you will have a hard time even finding a job.

haha I know what you mean, I started forging in third grade, not because I was hiding anything from my mother, or that she didn't want to, I just felt like I had the power to, and if I could get away with something I would. So anyways, I am a senior now, and I have signed every document in the system so far, I kind of fear that if she signs anything they may see a difference in signatures, so now it is my job, and my mother is okay with it too, now if it was something that could change our lives, I would let her look at it and I would then sign it, but so far they are just small things like grades to be signed or permission slips.

Ill think of something. Pretty much my grandparents aren't my mom and dad. so why should they waste time signing stuff for me. I told them its only for a few seconds. NO they got back to olympics. Problem. I don't understand these insurance ones and medical ones.

Do what I did when I was in school. I filled them out and just had them sign them. I don't think you will be shipped off to some work camp....lol Like I said fill the information out and have them sign it. It isn't a big deal. Unless you are as lazy as them and don't want to do it either. Then you really can't blame them when you go stand at line tomorrow. Did they out right say they didn't want to do it? Or just not doing it fast enough for you?

What you need to do tomorrow is go to the office and talk to someone. If you are serious about getting your education then they can and will help you. Fill out all that you can up to the signing and if you grandparents and or uncle won't sign it before you go to bed take the paperwork with you to your room and then in the morning go to the office.

Why don't you just fill out the forms yourself. Odds are they won't even question who did fill them out or sign them.

Your right, But i don't get the insurance part. i bet they will get it if i bs the entire thing. LanceVance has signed this. I hope they fall for it. Ill make it look all profesionally cursive. i really think its a bad idea. but hey why not since my grandparents don't care.

Wow, just a little dramatic, aren't we? Just fill out the papers yourself and give them to your grandparents or uncle to fill out. When I first saw your discussion, I thought you were in another country--imagine my surprise when I saw you live in LA! Relax.

Go to the school, explain the situation, see what they tell you. If the registration people don't help you, go to see the school counselor. Somebody should help you. The schools are very keen on keeping the drop out rate low and have high attendants in order to get more money from the state. I take it your parents are not around anymore. Your guardian will have to sign the papers in that case. Are your grandparents or your uncle even your appointed guardians? That could be changed, too. Your counselor should be able to help you. So would social services as you are not 18 yet. No, you will not be shipped off to a work camp, lol. If you desire to go to high school and graduate, somebody from the school or state will help you. Fill out the registration papers except for the signature part and see, if your family/uncle will sign the papers. If not, tell them that you will get approval in another way as you have a right to go to school. The school will find a way that may actually get them into trouble if they have guardianship over you. If they still don't want to sign the paperwork, go to the school and get their assistance. Hope they were just pulling your leg and will sign the paperwork in time. Good luck!

I don't understand some parts like the insurance and random medical questions. Ill just ask the school tomorrow. I just hope that lady is right. she said, if i fail to register. I will not have any optional classes i wanted and will be placed last priority in remaining. I really don't care. as long as i can go to school. Thanks though! the school might help. i hope. I really wish my mom and dad were here.
