In California, pretty much all public high schools have a "continuation school" for dropouts.  Since this kid is not 18, by law, he should be in school, so why not enroll him in regular school?  He may have lost one year by not attending, but he should be able to enroll again!\n\nThere are 2 high schools in Palo Alto. Call them up and speak with a guidance counselor for more information on your options.\nhttp://gunn.pausd.org/home/web/\n\nhttp://www.paly.net/\n\nI had my high school  aged niece living with me off and on and she would attend school part of the year, then move away and not attend. Then she came back and attended again.  The school took her back, no problem, but she is not able to graduate because she has not completed the required classes. However, she's made friends, and learned a bit from enrolling in school.

I didn't do it by choicer,but by force. My parents were ridiculously overprotctive. I was not allowed to have friends,go anywhere,do anything,etc...So when they found out I had a secret boyfriend at age 16-17 I got taken out of school and was homeschooled. I never finished the homeschool so I had t oget my ged. Then they never gave me money for colledge or a car. I was 22 when i got my first drivers liscence and and car,and now Im 28 and its hard to get credit because i have no credit history because all the money I've ever made was from a no education drop outs type of job,and went all to bills,and not enough to pay for a credit card. So pelase dont drop out if you even have a choice in the matter. I wouldn't have if I had a choice.

Too me yes and no. When i was in Middle school i was looking forward to high school as a new start. I thought it was going to be great! That's when all the teachers came in and started stating that high school is so hard and that people don't care about you there and its just one big place with a bunch of bad people doing bad things. These where the teachers that were suppose to be supporting me! So i was so worried going to high school and when i got there i noticed it was great! it was just like middle school but there was a whole lot of more people and you get a bit more Independence homework and school wise. So i guess high school is different in some ways but its a whole lot better then middle school. There are a lot more people that you get to know and you classes will have different people in them but it just opens the door to new friends.

Once in college, because thats when highschool ethics don't work anymore. Everyone is different there and theres more people so nobody really cares.

I am with Frank, I do not think most teens drop out of school.  Most states have enacted legislation that compells them to stay in school until they are 18.  Additional legislation is being considered to further penalize drop outs, such as taking away their driver's license.\n\nOn the contrary, more teens than ever are finishing school and graduating than ever.  Overall our younger generation are good people who strive to live a good life and the place to start is to finish school.

When I was in school, which wasn't that long ago, we called the popular kids either jocks, preps or jerks!  lol no, I'm playing about the last one, but anyway.  The unpopular kids were either goths, emos, or magic nerds (based upon the fact that most of them played that damn magic card game).  Lol, where I fit in, I don't know, probably just one of the normal ones that just wanted to get out!  Anyway, cool question (oh yeah, and we called some people Band nerds, cause...well, they were in band [hell, i was too at one time though...ugh]).

Some schools have a career development class. I know my high school did. You actually had to have a job outside of school and then in school, you took a class one period a day.

Sorry but I'd say it's the opposite.  High school, in no way, is an operative example of everyday life post those 4 years.

Yes and no. Highschool was a blast sometimes, especially because I had a tight group of friends. But there was so much immaturity, so much gossip and backstabbing, people caring way too much what everyone else thought of them, etc. It's a tough time!

Who said it was?  I'm having a blast now!  This is way more fun than highschool, I hated highschool.  I'm twenty-seven, and I have a two year old.  Its like being a kid again and seeing the world anew with all the wonder I'd forgotten.  This is WAY better than being a teenager.

When I was still in highschool, I would get up at 6:30 and get a shower. I had to be there at 8:00 am. The first thing we did was set in homeroom for about 15 minutes while we listen to the daily announcements. Then we would go to our first period class, which I think was just a study hall for me. Then I had Japanese Cultures during my second period class. Third period I had Physical Education. Fourth was Art class. Our fifth period was another study hall because the younger kids had lunch this period and we got to go during sixth period. 7th period was when I had English class. Another study hall during eight period, I wasn't really that busy my senior year. 9th period I had Geography but nobody really took it seriously so it was more like a goof off class. Then 10th period we had health class. We left school everyday at approximately 3:15 pm. That was my typical day at school my senior year.
