Yeah I was only half joking... I hope I do not become homeless.

How are we supposed to go to Australia if you’re homeless?

You will pay for me.

How ridiculous. I thought my schooling was derailed by negativity and nonsense but nothing that bad. You should use your writing skills to write a letter to the Florida Department of Education.
This email address-

Mention how you are 13, black(seriously mention that) and how you don't go to school, but want to, and want to be a Zoologist and Natural Historian. And describe all that other shit, all the barriers you are facing and the hardships you have endured, without using the words - faggot, nigger, shitdick or whale-piss. It would be epic and they would have to help you. If they didn't you could even sue them or something using the evidence of the paper trail of your emails.

Hell, Bolushi could give most of MY classmates a run for their money.

Ecology sounds good. I'd like to become a wildlife presenter/documentary host similar to Attenborough himself.

If highschool is bad, Bolushi can try to complete a GED then move to college.

So what are some study ideas anyway?

I'd love to see more anatomical studies comparing different types of real working dogs and wild wolves. Measuring all their bones, also their muscle fibre type in each part of their bodies, muscle density, muscle mass to body weight ratio, body fat percentage, measuring their hearts and lungs and blood volume, etc etc. Even Brain size and brain shape.

And I mean super comprehensive, maybe unreasonably/unrealistically so.

With heaps of different kinds of dogs.

Dogs I'd wanna see included-

Racing greyhounds (Ireland, England, New Zealand, Australia)
Hunting salukis (Saudi Arabia)
Coyote hunting staghound (USA)
Bikejoring Greyster (Belgium)
Iditarod sled dogs (Alaska)
Chukotka sled dogs (Russia)
working sheep dog (northern britain)
Working sheep dog (Australia)
Working cattle dog (Australia)
Police German Shepherd (Czech Republic)
Military Malinois (USA)
Bird hunting pointer (England)
Duck hunting retriever (USA)
Bear hunting plotthounds (USA)
Raccoon hunting coonhounds (USA)
Cat hunting coonhounds (USA)
Fox hunting foxhounds (Britain)
Hog hunting catahoula (USA)
Hog hunting bull arab (Australia)
Hog hunting Dogo argentino (Argentina)
Bull catching Alano (spain)
PP Bandog (usa)
Fighting american Pit bull terrier (USA)
Fighting Tosa (Japan)
Fighting volkvodav (Russia)
Livestock guardian Pyrenees (France)
Livestock guardian Kangal (Turkey)
Village guardian Tibetan mastiff (Tibet)
Big game Hunting Jagd Terrier (Germany)
Vermin Hunting Patterdale (USA)
Ratting JRT (England)
Dingo (australia)
Indian Street dog (india)
Indian Wolf (india)
Italian Wolf (italy)
Eurasian Wolf (Russia)
Arctic Wolf (Greenland)
Pacific Northwest Wolf (USA)

Something about "functional anatomical Variation in the Canis Lupus species", and of worthwhile significance because clearly this is the most anatomically diverse species to ever exist so that should be explored.

I love that idea, however I would like it to cover more then just canis lupus, I would also throw a few more Canines like coyote, AWD, various foxes, bush dog, Dhole and maned wolf. I would also throw in the red wolf and the coywolf if possible to see how they compare. However, I think the brain size thing may end up causing problems because most people don’t know that just because a wolf is tall and thus has a big skull doesn’t make it smarter then dogs

[Hardcastle]

Funny you say that because I had eastern and western coyotes in then took them out to make the study focus on diversity in the canis lupus species, just because that has a nice little ring to it. But absolutely I'd love to include coyotes and red wolves and Ethiopian wolves and African golden wolves and dholes and awds.

Brain size and shape could be analysed maybe also with "neuron density", which my understanding is very favourable for some domestic dogs. Ultimately I don't really mind if some things prove less favourable for dogs, I just want to know. This bank of data could be incredible.

[Hardcastle]

I'd probably include a few pet dogs, to prove they are inferior and different as well, that could be insanely valuable. A neutered pet pitbull, a neutered pet labrador, a neutered rescue mutt...

Can a 13 yo do their schooling at a community college or is there an age limit? Probably is I guess.

Bolushi if possible you could obtain your schooling as well as start on other qualifications at community college at the very earliest your age allows. Get out of the school system and into adult's classrooms as soon as you're able.

I think working with more mature-age adult students rather than school kids would suit you more. And it would bypass the aid. For the record that's crazy to be automatically assigned that kind of aid after years of nothing happening.

You are very gifted and could learn and gain all manner of qualifications very rapidly if you were to put your mind to it.

I don't know your case very well but perhaps you get bored with the learning pace and environment at kid's school and as a result get frustrated and act out. Online you seek out adults a lot to intellectually challenge yourself.

Maybe continue with homeschooling then transition your education to community college as soon as your age allows.

Bummer, looks like in Florida you need to be 17 years of age by the first day of class to do community college. They do high school completion programs but yeah you have to be 17. I feel that for personally you need to get out of the house doing some sort of guided, structured vocational activity. But I feel for the position you're in with the school aid. Maybe if you gave school a trial for a little while and things went well they'd take the aid away pretty quickly.

Odd inquiry, will look at it.
''I don't know your case very well but perhaps you get bored with the learning pace and environment at kid's school and as a result get frustrated and act out. Online you seek out adults a lot to intellectually challenge yourself.''
The learning pace and environment isn't necessarily the problem. I get frustrated and act out for various reasons, but I will have you know I have a short fuse. I attempted to explain it but it results in prolonged story telling which I should really just make a ''school stories'' thread for.
I do get along well with adults. I think kids are dumb. Despite that fact it's a bit damaging to interact with nobody besides family for a prolonged time, but that ship has sailed...

No, they said they would but it was like 2 months and they didn't. The real deal breaker was when I was left alone one day, nobody was there to ''cover'' for me. So I was fine by myself, the teachers didn't give a flying fuck about it. Surely... surely that might've done something positive? Nope.

Got to love the shitbulls mauling everyone memes are getting spread around twitter as of recent.
