Yeah sure, if you're ok with your mom going to jail...then yeah..you can drop out. This is something that you are SOO going to regret. But what's the use, at the age of 14, you KNOW what's best!

No. Educational laws vary from state to state, but you are required to attend until you graduate, obtain a GED, or turn 18 years old. You can get a high school degree or equivalent degree through various alternative methods, such as the GED, which you mentioned. There are also alternative charter schools; you can be home schooled, and there are now many accredited online schools.
If you are serious, you should talk to your parent(s), school counselor or an understanding adult or relative who is close to your parents.
If you are just whining because you are a lazy goof off...shouldn't you be doing some homework instead of being online?

Coming from a 14 yr old, I certianly would not recommend it. You make a list of how many career opportunities are available to High School dropouts. Especially those with less than a grade 10 education. Unless you plan on becoming a pimp/prostitute/drug dealer, or occupy yourself with one of other numerous unpleasant and dangerous "careers". If you do somehow obtain a diploma, you may be able to enroll in a trade apprenticeship program, and possibly begin a successful, or at least supporting career.
But then again, it's just my opinion, sooo...

NO, the going rate is 16, but why drop out? If you go through high school that is the hardest things in life to do, birth and death is easy, but high school the most difficult thing to do. I say going through my high school and being the person I was, was very difficult. The only thing more difficult then that was trying to get my life back in order after my sever car accident, which come to think about it, that was pretty easy compared to high school. If your mind is made up to quit high school, go for it just make sure you get your g.e.d.

I believe the legal age is 16, with parents signature. No child left behind act. I'm 15. why would you want to drop out at 14? Graduate.

No, there is not. It is a legal requirement that a person remain in full time education until the age of (well, I don't know where you live, but here it is 16). You can receive home education, or be educated in some other manner. But the law of the land requires you to be educated.

i know shcool can be a piece of crap but if you drop out now u seriously will have nowhere to go

please take my advice
if there is something bothering you about school you can tell me, im sure that i can help b/c im ur age and i kno how tough school can be

Yes, and you can hide under a rock too. Usually age 16 you can sign out or sign out with a parents permission, depending on the State. But, life will be long and hard when you are dumb and poor.
