Dropping out of school..

Re: Dropping out of school..

EnR, don't do it. My sister did it, worse decision ever. She had a baby at 19 years old, and she is still in school atm. It's very hard for her, not only because of the baby, but just getting diplomas and everything is hard enough. You're only in grade 11, you still have many year's ahead of you. Don't ruin it by making a stupid mistake such as this.

Re: Dropping out of school..

Exactly, I have many years ahead of me, that's what I'm afraid of.. I won't last these next 2 years, I hate school so much it's unbeleivable. Nothing is wrong with it. I just wish we didn't have so much useless work.

I'm wasting 6 hours of my day to sleep/play computer games(during school) and to piss off my teachers.

My dad is the owner... The company is named after me and my bro.

My dad told me I don't need to finish highschool to do what he does.

Dude, just in case it doesn't prosper forever (which I highly doubt it will), get the diploma, just in case.

Just hang on for a little bit. You got 2 years of school left before the real world comes to bite you in the face and you shouldn't give up your schooling career because of a stupid excuse. Have some perseverance and self-discipline.

Don't let your life be lenient to something so easy to get because in the end, you might (probably will) regret it.

Otherwise, if you think it 10 times through and are sure you want to live your career as in what your dad does, go for it.

Re: Dropping out of school..

Very, very bad idea, as others have said here.
You may be as intelligent as you may be, but if you don't have at least a degree/diploma, no one will even take you seriously or give you a chance.
If no one even considers you, there's nothing you can do, regardless of whether or not your learn anything at school.
Basically, school is a must in order to be accepted as in society; a degree/diploma pretty much assures others that you at least have some degree of knowledge.

Re: Dropping out of school..

Well, I'll most likely try to finish school... But I can't wait to see what my teachers do after today, because I'm tired of this and I'm gonna be bitchy as **** as school. This is gonna be fun...

Re: Dropping out of school..

I don't plan on going to college, if I do it'll be for something like working in the music industry.

Btw, I also been wanting drums for a long time and me and my friend want to start a band, he plays guitar, I know this sounds really dumb, but I love music so much that I want to make a living in it.

cool you can come to school with me in florida

Re: Dropping out of school..

Ask yourself, what do you enjoy in life?

Music, drumming, welding, learning about the universe (I love science).

Re: Dropping out of school..

Trust me bud.

You need your grade 12 to get a decent job here.

Don't be like me.

Maybe work for a year or so, figure out what you want to do.
But graduate high school first.

I regret not doing my work and applying myself, and I have 15/30 credits.

I hate that all my friends are in college. ( I should have graduated 2 years ago )

Perhaps you feel differently, but I'm just saying how I've been affected.

Re: Dropping out of school..

That's pretty much all it is, I lack motivation. I guess I'll look into those two things, might be interested in one and actually try..

Re: Dropping out of school..

a degree/diploma pretty much assures others that you at least have some degree of knowledge.

I understand what you're saying, but I think a diploma/degree says a lot more about you than simply how much you know.

A diploma indicates at the very least that you can be taught and that you have a certain level of ethics and personal responsibility. Dropping out of school tells everyone that you're a quitter, you don't take responsibility for your own actions, and that you probably can't be taught a whole lot.

I'm not saying what I said there is undeniably true, but I can guarantee it's an assumption that people will make when they hear you don't have a diploma. Especially if you ever try to get a job somewhere else.

So, put up with the BS for the last couple years you have. Pull up your ****ing Pampers and quit being such a whiny little baby. Get your god damn diploma and then go weld ****.

Re: Dropping out of school..

It may sound like a great idea now, (trust me, it sure did when I was in HS) but what are you gonna do later in life? Work at McDonald's? There aren't going to be many options if you don't even have a full high school education.

Re: Dropping out of school..

I think I already have 16/30 creds, 8 more this year, and 6 in 12th grade, so I'll have 2 spares in 12th grade.

Re: Dropping out of school..

Personally, all it sounds like is you lack motivation.

Quite frankly the number one reason why alot of people don't go to college even. Friends who I've talked to who work before they go to college say that they don't have a reason to go.

I just see it as lack of innovation.

Re: Dropping out of school..

Foil, you sound like my teachers, telling me that I need to stop whining. I tend to voice my opinion and complain about stuff that is wasting my time.
