  Sometime in 2017, I made a blog for our English class using wordpress (on a separate account than the one I am using currently). I signed up for that account and created that blog with my student email, which I do not have access to anymore as I am not a student in that district any more.
  That blog contained a lot of personal information and rather stupid things that shouldn’t be on the internet (thanks to my junior high self). I don’t know what my password was (I’ve tried anything), and I can’t reset my password because I don’t have access to the email that was used to create the blog and account. Please tell me there’s a way I can get access to the account (proving ownership?????).

  Hi there!

  On this page, you can see all the proofs of ownership that we can accept:

  https://wordpress.com/support/account-recovery/

  If you can’t provide us with any, we won’t be able to help you get access to the account. However, since you want to delete the site, you can send an email to passwordhelp@wordpress.com and our Account Recovery team will get back to you with more information.
