How can i help my sister any advice? she's ashamed of going to get her GED.?

my sister didn't get the chance to finish School but she's afraid to face a class room of people because she's embarrass about her problem with maths and have suicidal thoughts. Is there any private way that she can get her Ged or High School diploma with a teaching instructor present in the privacy of her home ? Any advice ? she's an adult please help!How can i help my sister any advice? she's ashamed of going to get her GED.?
Show her this:


The only thing you have to be embarassed about is NOT going to get it.


Everyone there is there because they are in the same boat as you are- they are there to get their GED too.


You are not expected to know the answers-THAT'S WHY YOU ARE THERE! To Learn!


You can DO THIS!


Most towns/villages have free or almost free programs available.





Try your local junior college too. They may even have an online program available or an independent learning course where she does the work on her own and meets with an instructor alone once a week and takes tests in a testing lab on campus.





My sister went back after 11 years and just the confidence boost of finally finishing did wonders for her! Not to mention that she was finally able to get a better job that pays more! She has so much more self respect now- you can see it in her eyes and the way she carries herself.





YOU CAN DO THIS- Don't let anyone talk you out of it, don't let your fear keep you away! Push onward!How can i help my sister any advice? she's ashamed of going to get her GED.?
Tell her that her Government equivalence Diploma is just one step in her ultimate goal. Once she gets her college degree, nobody is going to care whether she got a GED or not. Tell her that she needs to further her education so she can get a career she enjoys, rather than just work at a job she has to do to get by. Talk about her future with her and get her thinking about where she wants to go with it. I do this with my students all the time, and used to teach dropout recovery so if you do it with a loving heart, when she is receptive, you may have some success with it.
