I want to get my GED instead of going into my senior year of HS

I’ve always hated school. I’ve never been bullied or anything. I’ve just always been the kid who was talked over, ignored, uninvited to literally everything (including plans made right in front of me) and when I’m absent, if there was no assignment, teachers don’t even notice I’m gone. I don’t have friends my age. My “friends” in my class only come to me if they want answers. The only people who really accept me were the seniors this year (COVID Class) and I get anxiety thinking about going back to school without them. My classmates treat me like I’m invisible. And teachers expect so much of me. I’m expected to try out to be drum major and be top of my class and expected to be in college classes I can’t afford and it’s overwhelming. I’ve been having breakdowns because of it. I told my mom I’d rather get my GED or graduate this summer since I have 10 more credits than needed to graduate, and then I can help her out by working and help pay bills because we never have enough money to pay all the bills let alone do anything else, but she just sees it as “Oh, she doesn’t want to go back to school because she’s lazy. What’s wrong with you?” and my brother is like “If I can get my diploma so can she because they both think I’m going to just drop out and do nothing and I don’t know what to do because the expectations are getting too much and I’m scared of what’s going to happen.
