Is having an online degree a joke?

OK, now I remember your situation.

I have taken both online and live classes. I do not recommend online classes for first-time college students because I believe classroom interaction is important. Most students learn much more readily when they are working with other students and with the course instructor.

That said, if your parents cannot be convinced that you are physically and morally safe on the physical campus of any decent college/university, but they will allow you to attend online classes at a similar regionally accredited institution, then your best bet would be to accept that option until such time as you are ready to leave home and make your own way in the world.

And I just thought of something. In one of your other threads you report that your parents won’t let you know your SSN. Have you asked your guidance counselor at school if your SSN is anywhere in your school records? It might be there.
