<p>I’m totally burned out and have serious emotional problems…i also dont think i’ll have the time to find out what i really want to do. i have a project planned out, and spend the year travelling. Is this a bad idea? will this hurt my college chances and my future? I need good advice! thank you.</p>
<p>Would you be home schooled that year, or when you come back would you still have to do sophomore year? I don’t think it’s a good idea, that’s something to do before college, instead of interrupt your high school years.</p>

I would probably have to still do 10th grade, but I could look for other solutions…at this point i dont really mind delaying my graduation.</p>

<p>Terrible idea, how will you explain to colleges you were too “emotionally troubled” to continue high school and wanted to just forget everything and travel? Now’s not the time. Now’s the time to be a determined student (if you want to go to a decent school) and work your butt off and put aside emotional problems, or at least find viable solutions.</p>

<p>Do whatever is best for your mental health (I’d strongly suggest seeing a professional about it, if you haven’t already). Life is about more than just college admissions, and colleges with holistic admissions processes will take your circumstances into account anyway. Worst case scenario is you go to a community college and transfer.</p>
<p>I would use the money you would be traveling with to see a professional, it can only help and hopefully you will be able to still complete 10th grade. You could also try to transfer schools or look for online or homeschool options if its your school that’s getting to you.</p>
