Hello,
I was recently expelled from my high school for an offense I did not commit (tampering with school records via electronic equipment). I was a sophomore last year and lately I’ve been thinking of applying to colleges as a home school student as I was unhappy with my previous school’s academic program as it was and wish to continue my intellectual passions separately. My academic record from that school is also spotty and I do not believe it reflects my true capabilities. Revealing my transcripts and student records from this school will no doubt set me back a far way when it comes to college admissions.
I’ve been looking into ways in which I can ensure that colleges will not be able to find out I previously attended that high school if I decide to apply as a home school student or to switch to another school in a different county and district.
I’ve been looking into things such as FERPA blocks, but these still seem to allow college admissions counselors and others affiliated with universities to access my records.
Intuitively, it doesn’t seem possible that any college would be able to find my records in unreported schools or would even have the incentive of doing so given the means.
I also do not wish to be dishonest, but at the same time I also have high aspirations which I do not believe should be tarnished due to school records.
Thank you for your help!

Ok, I am a sophomore in college and I have changed my major literally, every semester. I honestly don’t know what kind of jobs are out there and I am petrified of choosing something and not being able to find a job because of the economy (I’ve looked into advertising but like I said i’m worried I won’t find a job). I know I want to do something big with my life, I am very creative and love being able to use that. I also really enjoy talking to people, i’m a decent writer and a great listener. I hate math with a passion and I would really like to have a career that will allow me to provide a comfortable lifestyle for me and my one-day family. (More specifically, afford to vacation. Haha) I don’t know if that provides enough information but if any of you know something I could look into that might fit my skill set, I would MORE than appreciate it. I feel like I’m going to have a breakdown if I can’t find my niche’ soon.

Not to seem full of myself, but I’m the kind of person who’s really kind and loyal and trustworthy to everyone. If a friend needed me to come pick them up somewhere at 3 in the morning, I’d more than likely be there for them.
To make a long story short, I have a group of friends who I’ve had sort of an on and off relationship since my junior year of high school. We’re sophomore in college now, but with time these issues (for me) have only gotten worse.
I stopped hanging out with them because I didn’t feel like I belonged in their “niche.” The things that made them laugh, barely made me giggle.
I guess because of this they’ve never bothered to invite me places outside of school, even up to now. Three of my good friends belong to this group, and even though I’m not close with the others, I still wanted to see them and hang out with them every once in a while.
I’d make attempts, asking what was going on and when, and they’d always say they didn’t know but that they’d let me know, come Monday to find that they’d been to the beach that weekend, or they’d been to so and so house and had a party.
When I told my friend how much it hurt that they never invited me places, she told me that it was a two way street if you want to hang out with people, and wondered why I waited for her to invite me…
…but I guess I was being silly by assuming that asking what the group is going to be doing was the reasonable thing to do if you want to hang out with someone.
She finally admitted that because we don’t hang out/talk as often, she never thinks to invite me to the places they go. And she doesn’t feel like just inviting me somewhere with them will change anything.
I pretty much ended my friendship with her and my two close others friends, because I am certain they feel the same way that she does.
Was/Is this the right thing to do? Do I need to move on and find new friends? Am I expecting too much out of people?
