Dropping out of highschool, college?

I wouldn't suggest dropping out if that is what you are considering at this point.  However the above answers are very accurate. \nHigh school can be difficult and provide challenges, but it also a very good experience that young people should have.  If you are struggling, there are ways to get help and bring up your grades.  If you still can't manage to bring them up enough upon graduation to be accepted to colleges, you can also take courses afterward to prepare you for college in most communities.  These are also considered when you apply to schools.  Dedication is important as anything else ;-)

Education, no matter how long, is not a waste. I am sure you learned something that you did not know from this school. Consider finishing the career or see if you can use your college credits elsewhere. It's all up to you the way your future turns out. Good Luck!

There were many reasons i dropped out of school...i was way to much of a partyer, didn't like to wake up early.. my dad died when i was 16, never felt like going to school, just sat in my room and cried.. there was nothing the school did to make me drop out, i dont ever think its the schools fault, there is nothing they could do diffrent, its all on us

16 that's only if you go through the court system, you can drop out of highschool at 16 though. you have to be 18 to move out.

I was homeschooled for all but three of my school years.  I have known many people who were in the same situation that it sounds like you're in, being fed up with the school district, etc. and went to homeschooling.  Being in high school, you might find it to be a bit of a hassle to drop out of the school without them giving you a lot of trouble about graduation requirements and various other little things.\n\nHomeschooling is a very good alternative, if you're willing to keep on top of things.  Depending on what state you live in, you might have a harder time switching to homeschool than in some other states.  You'll very likely have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get out of the school system.\n\nYour parents are going to have to commit to helping you in this, because if you're just going to do it by yourself, you'll find it much harder to get the school district to allow you to leave.  You need to really talk it through with your parents, and make a decision about whether this is really the right choice.  Make sure you won't regret doing this a few weeks after you start homeschooling.  \n\nA great organization to check out while you're thinking about switching to homeschooling is the Homeschool Legal Defense Association.  They can help answer most any question you might have, and have a lot of expertise on this subject.  I would check them out, and their website also has a lot of very helpful links to other homeschooling organizations.  Good luck in this possible change!

dont drop out. if youre 18 that probably means you only have a few months left? trust me, graduation day is the best feeling. plus you'll go nowhere in life if you do.

NO. I hated school. so i dropped out this yr. Senior year of highschool. But i now regret it. I've found that it's very hard to get a job, or for an employer to even take a second look at you, if you don't have a highschool education. However i'm going to get my GED, and try and make something of my life. But what i've found out is that, school may suck and be boring at times, but in the long run, it's necessary. So what ever you're thinking stay in school.

Before you start, send for your high school transcript. Any college will require that. The first year you will have to take standard Freshman courses, especially English and math. You won't have a choice that year. The second year, you can begin to make some choices. Ask for a counselor and then get to know that person. He/she will help you plan the courses you need to take and when to take them. This will make all the difference in your success or failure. To try to plan your own courses is a big mistake. Learning the study habit again is a major concern, so look for a quiet area you can study in. Kids can stand noise while they study, adults can't. \n\nI applaud your decision to go to school. This is a big step in your life, but without higher education and a degree, you are on a treadmill going nowhere. Stick with it, especially when it seems like you can't open another book, read another page, turn in more homework. Your computer will be an invaluable aid. You'll need a good dictionary, a good encyclopedia, and a tape recorder that has playback. Headphones are also necessary. \n\nGo for it, and the best of luck to you!

There is no reason why you can't finish your highschool learning at home. Thousands of kids do every year.\n\nStart with:\n\nThe Teenage Liberation Handbook: how to quit school and get a real life and education \n\nalso\n\nLots of info at Jon's Homeschool Resources here:\n\nhttp://www.midnightbeach.com/hs/

Yes. Since you are in college it would appear that you have already escaped high school.

Life is hard and even harder for someone who has dropped out of school. Even a GED is harder to pass than high school. So stick with school, graduate, finish college, and have a great life. Good luck.

I agree! Get your GED and then go to college. Why be a drop-out????

Well, to be completely honest, that school is pretty much for people who didn't fit in at all in high school, and it shows.  A freind of mine with similar problems went, and she said it was like being around a whole group of people with no real social skills and she ended up leaving after a year.

Joe Horn went to junior college and look at him.  You could try to contact teams, but it's much easier if you just go where they are already looking for players and that's colleges.  If you have ever had any skills, they probably already have scouting reports on you from High School before you dropped out, but most teams would probably worry that if you couldn't dedicate yourself to school, how will you dedicate yourself to a program?  It's an uphill climb. Good luck.

Your best bet would be to go see a counselor at the college you want to go to and see what they say. In some universities, all you really need is enough college hours on a junior college level to be able to get into a senior college. Good luck to you!

Well I'm sure that a lot of these people are going to tell what a mistake it is to drop out of school. I'm not! I encourage it for you. The reason being, that only a Moron would even consider such a thing. I sure can't see wasting hard earned tax dollars on a moron. So start flipping dem burgers and find you a place out at Barney's trailor park  and have a nice life.
