I’m failing high school cause I’ve never been to highschool till now

I'm not very good when it comes to writing, so I'll try to explain all of it as best as I can. My name is CD, not actually. I just kind of want this to be anonymous. I'm 17 years old. I just turned 17 in October. It's November 27, 2023, currently, but with all that said, I wanted to come on here and explain how school is feeling for me right now. You see, from the time that I was younger, grades weren't a problem for me. I didn't get straight A's, but it wasn't really much of a struggle like it is now. But since my mom started moving back and forth from place to place, I would always end up going to school in the middle of the year or almost to the end of the year, so learning was hard for me. My brain next felt settled, if you know what I mean. Anyway, I'm currently in the 11th grade, and I haven't even been to the 9th grade or the 10th grade. Let me explain: when the COVID pandemic happened, I started going to online school, which wasn't really my strong suit. I was procrastinating all the time because, honestly, 8th grade was hard because 7th grade I only learned what was left at the end of the year, so while I was doing homeschool, I was cheating on tests and just doing anything to pass, which eventually made me just stop trying. But anyways, I never finished 8th grade, but I still got pumped up into the 11th grade because of my age. I was still in 8th grade and soon to be 17, so my mom just decided to place me where I belong, which was just horrible. Imagine not knowing anything about the grade that you're in or about how older kids even act in general. It's all so hard on me. I'm failing the grade miserably, and I just want to die. So yeah, that's my story. Thanks for reading. I know it's long.
