Help With Highschool Diploma

I figured maybe someone here could help. My brother did not graduate this year because of failing one class (Brit Lit). He made about a 1300 on SATs, so he is not dumb just lazy. Well, long story short he has been staying with different family members and he has no idea what to do. He wanted to go get his GED and go into the navy, but the recruiter told him he had to be at least 19 with a GED and even then his chances are slim because a small % per year can go in with a GED.

I told him to go back to HS and take that ONE class, but he wont listen to me.

Does anyone know how he can complete his diploma? Maybe online or something? I wish he would have just kissed that teacher's ass to pass or something. Thanks for any suggestions

It's ONE FUCKIN class. Smack him in the head and tell him not to be a moron. The military taking GED's anymore is RARE.
He could have it done in less than a month at an alternative high school.

I don't think the military would turn down too many people right now, do you? They really care that much about it being a GED?

Shitkick him and tell him to finish the class.
Or just abandon all hope with the lazy fuck and let him weasel his way through life with minimal efforts.

I keep telling him that, but he is acting so silly about it. He wouldn't even have to go back to his old HS, he can go to another one, its not like people are gonna know him there. I wish he would just listen to me.

I'm sure there is in house school but that would cost you a bit, otherwise his only option is GED.

He is leaning towards GED, but I told him that means all his HS credits will mean nothing. He took AP classes and Japanese language, he is smart as hell, but no common sense I guess.

I'm not trying to be a dick.... but he's not gonna last long in any branch of the military if he's too fuckin lazy to finish one class. He'll be beat to death in boot camp. (Yes.... I've been there.) USAF 1989-1994

with all respect, although hes family and you want the best for him - your not helping him by trying to run his life.

you are not responsible to hand feed and carry him through life, if he hasnt learned to survive on his own by now.. then he never will.

tell him - "I am telling you that I will drive you to school, and help you with everything you need to make it in life, but I am NOT - repeat - NOT going to do it for you."

then simply walk away... he can only help himself and you have done as much as anyone can be expected to do outside of pretending to be him. You cant force him and if you do.. he will not succeed. he is going to need to want this for himself.

Or.. find a girl who will laugh at him now and say, "if you want to fuck a hot chick like me. then make something out of your life, girls hate loosers." then help him start up a small porn site, register his name on gfy.. then watch him make post counts up over 30000

I understand what you are saying, but I don't want to run his life. I want him to make better choices. He is in California with family and i'm in Georgia. I didn't approve of the Navy Idea because he didn't know anything about it, he just thought of it as a way out, or a "simple" solution.

It'd be the biggest wake up call of his life. He'd be a different person (if he made it).

My room mate was in the Air Force. She was stationed in Japan and Germany, she loved it. I wouldn't be upset about him going into the Navy if he would just get his education first, and make sure thats what he really wants to do. He was using the Navy as a "I'm out of options" .

I know that he can do this online. A girl I know was finishing her high school diploma online but we don't talk anymore...so I can't find out where she did it at. But it's definitely a HSD and not a GED.

So, it may not take him too long to get the credits that he needs...otherwise I'd say go take the GED test and wait til he's 19 and just take some time off so he can start learning how to be an adult, and a productive part of society.

Yep, he was supposed to do it this Summer, but as I said, he is lazy so he fucked up again.

Huh? "Out of options?" Tell him if he doesn't pursue his education he'll have plenty of "options":
Burger King
McDonalds
Subway
Arbys and more!
