I think the age when you can legally drop out of high school in most states is 16. I know that getting a ged looks like a good alternative, but I've seen students who have dropped out who because of life issues have never been able to get their ged. It is something that they really regret. If it is at all possible, please stay in school until you graduate.
If it isn't possible for you to stay in school now, by all means go for the ged. Decide now that that is something that you are going to do no matter what.
Best wishes.

Stay in school, I employee a lot of people at minimum-wage jobs who wished they had stayed in school.
I'm pretty sure you can just drop out with or without permission but if you are school age and have not graduated you may be arrested during school hours for being truant.
Awwe, you and baby-dady are going to get your GEDs. GEDs will not get you into college later in life. Also many baby-daddies say they will marry you but 76% end up leaving within the first 3 years. 53% leave within 12 months.
You should still finish school, sure the difference between no diploma, diploma and GED is minimal for jobs like housekeeping or Circle K, if you ever want to do something with your life or baby-daddy leaves you and you HAVE to do something with your life you're going to want the diploma. I know one or two years seems like an eternity to someone your age but trust me that at some point in your existence you'll wish you had finished school. And if you don't trust me, then believe that it will be a bad example to your daughter that you did not get your diploma.

its 16 in florida too... to withdraw without parental consent.... you can ask at the office..or call and ask over the phone ... i dont know how it is in ohio, but in florida if you withdraw, you cant go back later... you have to go to a private school... or go get GED or whatever, but once you withdraw from public school you are out and you cant go back if you change your mind.. also in florida if you quit school you cant get your drivers license until you have a GED or turn 18, and if you had a license before you quit, it gets suspended...
so you might want to check with the DMV in your state to see if they have the same rule...
just something for you to consider...

Stay in school - seriously, you will be supported by the people of Ohio until you stop cranking out babies and then have to live on the streets once they're grown unless you're cute enough to hook some loser who may beat you but he'll allow you to stay with him.
If you're set on being a drain on society - it's 16.

Had a baby, huh? I do love moms under 18. Why not actually try and stay in school so that you aren't another trashy mom with no education raising a child. Just a thought.
