Nope! Suck it up and get your diploma instead of a GED. It's character building and will make your first year out of school seem like a piece of cake. It will be hard, but it'll be worth it. Trust me.

You don't say where you live, but an option might (big might) be to drop out and go to Community College. Some have programs where you can take regular college courses and earn your GED simultaneously.
However, it is Jan. You've got 6 more months left of HS. If you can stick it out, it would be worth it.

Even though they're basically equivalent, a GED is not really considered to be as good as a diploma. Whenever you apply for a job for the rest of your life, you'll be asked whether you have a GED or a diploma. If you can manage to stay in school (what's left, one semester?) then it will look better for the rest of your life.

With only a few months left in the school year, I wouldn't recommend dropping out and getting a GED. I am not saying that YOU wouldn't follow through, but a lot of people would drop it entirely.

No, you only have about 5 months left, I would stick with it and get your diploma. You've survived for 11 1/2 years, 5 more months won'tt be that bad. Good Luck!

NO! This is your chance to prove to yourself that you can make it in the real world and be more proud of yourself than a lot of other people will be. Stay in school get your diploma and go to prom. These are memories you can't get back. It will be tough and it will be exhausting BUT at the end it will all be worth it.

You've been doing this for almost 12 years. All you have is just about 6 months; just be a little patient until you graduate.

Well you have been to school this long why can't you wait for 1 more year
It is easier to get jobs even if you do not have collage experience.
And if you decide to go to collage later in life, you do not have to finish high school
It will just be easier that way
