What are some choices for people that are graduating early from high school? It's confirmed that I'll be a class of 2010, but graduate in november/december instead. I'll be 16 by that time.
I don't know if i want to emmediatly go to college since I'd be one of the only young people their.

There's no reason why you couldn't go to college or university at an earlier age. There are people who are much younger than you are who go. Hell, for my circle of friends, I was probably one of the youngest. There's nothing to feel embarassed about because for the most part, people don't care how old you are. You have the same choices as everyone else.

Dude I'm 16 and going to college. I tell people I'm 16 too. I never get negative comments or reactions either.

It is hard because I'm really not mature enough to be in college this young. I have to focus and work harder than most people for that fact. I wish I would've traveled or got a job for a few years first though. Ah well.

I'm technically graduating two years early, and looking forward to it in every way. I am applying to university with the rest of the grads who plan to do so.

By November/December, do you mean that you will be finished high school mid-way through the school year? I have been told that most undergraduate programs only admit students for the fall, and people who graduate in the winter would have to wait that half a year before attending university anyway. But it may be different where you are - perhaps you should speak to your school counselor about that.
