It's better to do everything it takes to get through the 4 years of high school so that the other 60 or 70 years of your life are not spent in government housing in the ghetto. Think about the kind of life you want for your children, too.

If you ever want to be anything in life, then you should try. It is better to try and fail, then not try at all. Good jobs come to those who have a good education. Do you want to ask "DO YOU WANT FRIES WITH THAT" for the rest of your life? Or push carriages in the lot of your local supermarket? I didn't think so. There are lots of reasons why you should at least try. That is a common among people of your age to think about quitting school. My friends son has the same ideas as you do. I'm sure I did at that age as well. Keep your chin up, and keep at it.

You should stay in school because:
80% of the prison population are high school drop-outs.
You will be stuck with minimum wage jobs.
Your income will be less than $15,000 per year, probably for the rest of your life, and you'll never be able to retire.
Your children will live in poverty, and so will you!
Most employers will have nothing to do with you because you clearly aren't able to stick with anything
If you need help with school, see your guidance counselor. They know of resources where you can get the help you need.

i can't make people listen to what i have to say, but i try to help them as best as possible. but first of all, are you a freshman in highschool or are you a freshman in college? well, you know what it really doesn't matter.
do you want to become a no brainerd and not knowing anything in life? well, let me tell you a little bit about of myself.
1. i am in my freshman year of college. i am loving and enjoying my first year here at college. i am so glad that i made it through the last final years of highschool.
2. i am grateful that my parents pushed me through highschool, and so many people told me that i was going to have a lot of fun in college. but of course, i didn't believe them because i thought i knew it all. but, trust what your parents tell you.
now: i will give you a couple tips.
1. go through and finish your highschool or your college.
2. don't complain and fuss at everything in life.
3. life does go on. (this is probably going to be harsh, but...) GET A GRIP ON LIFE!!
4. i thought my life was the end of the world when i got to my first year of college, but i had to get a grip on life, and now i'm enjoying it the fullest extent.
* hopefully i have helped you a little bit. but like i said, i don't force anyone to listen to what i say, i just tell them what i know and what i think is right. *

Perhaps you should be taking vocational courses or enroll in an alternative school. You can do well. Get off the computer and study. Pay attention in class. Ask your teachers for help.
Otherwise you better practice saying, "Do you want fries with that?"

Work out what you are good at and if it is not education based then try something else like a trade. Seek advice from acareer counsellor.

well i can't force you to do anything, but i must encourage you to stay in school...
Education is the only way you are going to make any decent money in many countries...unless you go into a trade or win at the lottery (but how often does that happen?)...Companies like diplomas...get one..even if it means four tough years of high school...
Just remember that its ok to ask for help...(do not cheat though)...always do your hw...study for tests...and ask questions in class if you dont understand it

you will get a much better job if you have secondary education. Maybe you are not taking the right courses for you?

Well, do you want to be rich or poor????
If you want a better chance of being rich then stay in school.
If you want to be poor then be a drop-out!!
