Hi Cassie!
My name's Lori, and I have two daughters, aged 12 and almost 9.  We've always 
homeschooled.

The rules for homeschooling are different in every state.  Your local 
superintendent of education should be able to give you information about the 
law in your state, and maybe the number for a local homeschool contact.  The 
library is another great source of info.  You should be able to find the 
names and numbers of any homeschool organizations in your state at the 
library.
We're in Washington state, and once you're 16 here, many choices open up.  
Which one you'd pick would depend on why you're finding it hard to 
concentrate.
Twenty years ago, I participated in an early graduation program whereby I 
took classes at our local community college and got credits to graduate high 
school a year early.  Though it was unusual at the time, there's now a 
regular program in place for 16 year old high school students to do this.
Other options for 16 year olds:  take the test for an equivalency diploma; 
get high school credit for a part time job; home school.
If you can't find the info you need elsewhere, write me back; if you want to 
have a less public conversation, I'll give you my mailing address.  To find 
the appropriate info, I'd need to know what state you live in.
Good luck!  -Lori
