"Like a normal pupil". Man that sounds like this counselor is not a very good counselor. She must be from the Public School System.
You have some choices to make here and I would go with the homeschooling since you clearly don't belong in the school system along with all the other brainwashed kids and adults alike.
You can do either Homeschooling with your Mom teaching you, you can have a tutor, you can do it on your own with some help from Mom when needed, you can go to a Charter school, or even an online school. There are lots of choices when it comes to getting your education at home. Good for you for standing up and realizing that homeschooling is really the best when you want it to work.
Good luck.
The first place to start is the homeschool legal defense association website. www.hslda.org.
They will have all the laws according to the state. Don't let them confuse you or make you scared. Most states just make you fill out either an intent to homeschool or the affidavit by October of the year you plan to school, then some states require testing and other don't. Usually once a year, some require you to keep track of attendence and others don't.
If you don't go thru a charter or online school then you will have to decide what curriculum to use or not to use.
If you know where to look the internet is a wealth of information. Everything you need to know to get a diploma is online and for FREE!. Don't let anyone fool you into thinking otherwise.
Don't try to go for the GED. This is considered a cop out by most colleges. Just have your Mom issue you a diploma or get it from an online school if you do that. Just make sure you have some kind of transcript which your Mom can also make up. There are so many colleges out there that thrive on finding homeschoolers for their school.
You will be just fine!!
Most kids that come out of the Public school system come out dumber than they went in. You can learn more in a shorter period of time at home than you can in any institution.
