Don't drop out.
Talk to people who have dropped out. Most work dead-end jobs. Even those who dropped out 2 years ago want to go back.
Sure high school is tough. I'm sure you never want to go through the issues associated with high school. Don't drop out because you don't want to start over again. Don't drop out because you're sick of school.
Dropping out is not going to make it any easier. High school is free, it gives you a key to college. Dropping out forces you to go out and work 40+ hours a week. You have no idea how many bills, issues, and problems you will face.
Dropping out of school at the age of 16 is NOT your best solution. If you do, you are proving that you are failed. High school scared you to the point that you gave up.

I don't think that would be a very good idea because you won't get as many great jobs as you could get if you graduated. I would be smart about this, think before you act too. I am a senior in High School it's so easy just to go through those four years of high school. It goes by so quick. I just hope I have helped you out a little bit. Some of my friends have dropped out, and now they wish they hadn't, because they are going to be on welfare for the rest of there lives. You know it's not fair for hard working people to have to give there tax money to people who just give up. I mean life will be so much easier for you if you do the smart thing. STAY IN SCHOOL!!!!! Well I hope you stick to my suggestion. Just think about what I told you, my friends are NEVER gonna be able to support a family, and they even got there GED. They are gonna work at Fast Food restaurants cause, no one else wants anyone with not enough education. Those diplomas help you through a lot, Trust Me. Well I hope you stay in school, if not ...That'll be just plain ignorant of you. Sorry, the truth hurts.

If you want to work crappy low-paying jobs the rest of your life, go for it.
Really, you know better, dropping out of school is one of the worst things you could do. Life is much harder than school, especially if you have a job you hate that you can't get out of because you don't have even basic skills that don't require you to do more than pick up heavy things. It's a huge huge mistake. If it takes a little longer so what, no one cares, they just care that you graduated, a GED is not the same, even though they say it is.
The life path of many dropouts is drugs and alcohol, poverty, bad food, bad jobs, crappy housing, throw in a couple of kids that you'll never be able to support properly and do that for 50 years, then look back and say dropping out was a good idea.
I'm guessing you won't get many answers from people who did it, as they can't afford computers.

Don't do it. If you need to get a tutor, do it. Anymore, you need at least your diploma for everything. Sometimes tho, you can get your diploma even if you drop out and get your ged within a certain time frame. Seriously think about it. I graduated and was an average c student. Come to find out that I had dyslexia. Some information that may have been a little helpful. I always thought I was just not too smart.

If I was an employer and had 2 resumes. One with a diploma, and one without, I would consider hiring the person with a diploma. You have what 2 years to go? Not much time left. Just finish it up. I know its boring but believe me its better than working a crappy job for the rest of your life!

right now high school may be confusing, but can you live life without a high school diploma? its hard as it is to find a decent job without a college degree but no high school diploma, chances are you won't find anything. even though you won't graduate with your friends, there's nothing to be embarassed about. you didn't exactly have to repeat a grade, you were unable to complete it. ditching school isn't the best solution. stay and school and go to college is the best thing you can do. it may take longer, but its well worth it.

If you think high school is a drag, just wait till you see what the alternatives are. Don't drop out. Stay in school till you graduate and hopefully they can teach you how to spell "dropping."

Maybe right now schooling is difficult but try to think of your future and the future of your own family. You need knowledge and wisdom to survive. School is your training ground; learn from it in all aspect you need. Life without much knowledge and confidence is far more difficult.

I heard a severe college degree is greater clever then a GED, like if there replaced right into a job place and it replaced into between choosing somebody with a level or a GED, they might p.c.. the guy with the highschool degree.

Do what you want. But you might want to start practicing greeting people at McDonald's, because that's the only job you're going to be able to land. Especially with your lousy spelling! 7-11 might hire you.
