Is there any way that in 12th grade i can go back to highschool and then go to prom and graduate and everything with all my friends or will it be too hard.

I think that will be up to your school system. I know here, In Missouri - KC area, the school district we are located in will not allow you to just jump back in like that. You would be short on credits, since the year you are out you are not taking their credit programs.

So I think it is something you will have to talk to the local school to find out.

You know there are proms and such for home schooled high school teens too. Just a thought . . .

Yes, I'm sure there's at least one good-sized homeschool prom per state per year. It will probably be less trouble to drive a few hours to get to the prom, than to try to get back into public school after a year of homeschooling.

Of course, if you get invited, you can go to any prom at any school can't you?
Not all dates have to come from the school that the prom is for.

I was under the impression you were eligible to go the public school events even if you are homeschooled. I'm sure this includes the prom.

That depends on the state and the event or activity.

In Florida, you can partificpate in most extracurricular activities, like sports and certain clubs. At our local school, home school students have participated in prom, provided their parents contacted the sponsors at the beginning of the junior year and they worked and raised funds along with everyone else. This may be something our principal allows rather than something that is normal statewide.
Good luck!
