I think I've posted this once before on these forums, but I have a friend who was 17 and still in the ninth grade. He recently dropped out. Just a couple weeks ago I find out he's committed a felony.
Dropouts are 54% more likely (or something like that) to commit a felony. I'm not saying that you will, but what drives dropouts to do that is the **** life they're having. Do you want a **** life? I don't think so. Stay in school. I skipped a few pages, but I'll safely bet that 90% of the posters in here would agree with me.

My hatred for school is turning on my parents. I now hate both my parents because they don't understand me at all.
I asked to skip one day. We're going to the computer lab in 2 classes (I play games/lisin' to music instead of doing my projects) , doing a review in one (I don't study, plus I've already finished the review 2 days ago.) and welding, well that's self explanitory. I even told my mom I'd rake the yard and cut the grass, just for her to do one simple phone call.

Now, the second half of my junior year was absolute ****. Arguments with teachers, constant calls home for skipping/sleeping in class/being a dickhead in general. Very similar to what you're describing now. I toughed out my junior year and made it half way through my senior year before getting expelled for skipping 54 days in a semester (even though I was still passing my classes)... So I dropped out and got my GED. WHAT? I DROPPED OUT?! I must be an unintelligent, felony committing scum bag! Its been two years since I've gone through the process of dropping out, so Ive had much time to reflect on and see the impact that it has on your life. Ive come to the conclusion that I should have done it sooner. Why? Because ultimately the 3 years in highschool were a waste (aside from social interaction and some other important life skills that were obtained in those years), and in the end a GED, which I could have gotten years earlier, turned out to fit my needs fine and well. In all seriousness, dropping out is not the path to take for someone who could easily complete school. My only regret is that I dropped out for reasons I now consider trivial and stupid (teen angst what?). There was no reason to other than my own laziness which makes me look like a vagina. However, it also made me realize that I should have done it sooner. If you believe, in all seriousness, that you ARE NOT going to make it through high school, then stop dicking around, drop out, and get your GED. Unless you are planning on going to a nice college or getting a scholarship, it doesn't really matter what your diploma says on it. Its a piece of ****ing paper, and all that matters is if you have one. Most places consider a GED or some other alternative diploma to be equivalent to a regular high school diploma. So if you arent going to make it through school, stop wasting the last few years. Get it over with and get your GED. Im currently starting community college, which after two years can give me a partial scholarship to a state college in my area, and have not experienced any problems with employment. All with a GED (omg?!) Moral of the story... Finish if you can. If you dont think you are, drop the **** out and continue with your life. Just make sure you get some type of diploma, whether it be a GED or otherwise, because that piece of paper is all that ****ing matters.

I had 14 credits to make up in highshool by my senior year. In other words i passed 4 or 5 classes from freshman year to junior year. I got put into this program that would help me graduate in time called nova net. Because of the way this program works i was able to finish 14 credits in a month and a halfs time. I did algebra 2 in 4 hours and i personally never answered a single question, my teacher did them all for me! Look into it though seriously.

Everyone who's saying **** like this to me, are ****ing idiots. Obviously you don't know who I am in real life, so stop trying to make **** up. I'm hardly on the comp, unless it's raining or I have nothing to do. Most of the time I'm gone out.

I disagree with a lot of people in this thread that a lack of a high school diploma automatically means your life is over. I have a GED since I was retarded and didn't think to test out (currently in college), and I'm making a good bit of money and am well off so far. But I also have some slightly extraordinary circumstances. Bottom line for you, though:
I could give you the cop-out answer of "oh screw the system, you're going to be a renegade warrior on the internets and life will be GRAET LAWL!" ..but instead I'm going to give you an honest answer: stop being a whiny, lazy bitch, and get your high school diploma unless you're going to test out. Don't be so naive to think you're going to make it alright working at the nearby burger joint for 8 hours a day. And **** French, you need to work on your English.

So you're thinking of dropping out of school, yet you think you're a fairly smart person? Okay.

just poking my head in, and I only skimmed a lot of the thread, but it seems like a lot of people don't seem to be able to follow what's going on
He's doing poorly in school. His father owns a business. He would enjoy doing this sort of work. The ideal path that I can see would be to get a GED while working in the family business. If it turns out that you can't stand doing that for the rest of your life, take the GED into post secondary education (be it community college or trade school). A GED is called a GED for a reason; it is to show that you have equivalent knowledge to that of one who graduated from high school. It is not a bad thing, and actually, it can be a shortcut to success if you're going down a path like Mr. EnR here seems to plan on. And especially if you're anxious to get into the real world, this can be your best shot. You do NOT need a college degree to do a lot of different sorts of jobs, and folks with GEDs (or even normal high school diplomas) are NOT limited to working McDonald's*. Furthermore, some people actually ENJOY the sort of jobs that EnR is looking at. Oh, and by the way, connections are often more important than specific qualifications (particularly at lower levels of primarily "unskilled" work), and I'd say that your father owning the business is a key component to your ability to succeed in this instance. Quote:
*hi, I have only a high school diploma and I make a bit over minimum wage plus tips that can be anywhere from ~10$~50$ per night depending on the night, occasionally with extremes upwards of 100$. Definitely a step up from McDonald's. |
