how am I supposed to tell my parents I want to drop out of college. I live with them and they paid my 3 grand for tuition. I completed 1 semester already and i am 3 weeks into my second, but I absolutly hate it, I hate school in general, I hate my classes, my classmates annoy me, I hate going to school, i know this course is not right for me, I feel very depressed and i think dropping out would be the right move for me right now, I can always go back right? I just want to work, and get out into the real world, i have already worked for a year before i enrolled in college I hated my job before, but I think i can find a much happier job for myself. i know my parents will say no, and if i really want to drop out ill have to go against their wishes wish in turn would mean my moving out, which I cant because I have zero money. what if i offered to pay them back 3 grand because I "wasted" their money, I feel like they will resent me for the rest of my life if I drop out.

Also, they think i am fairly happy at school because I put on a fake smile everyday so if I told them it would kind of be coming out of right feild, should i drop a few hints first that I am unhappy, or just come out and tell them, how am I supposed to go about this, I know many other people have done this before and I just need some advice if youd gone through a similar situation.

Have you thought about joining the Air National Guard? Not only will this help with the parent situation but allow you to work, attend college part time, apply towards future career options in the guard and, help your country. You probably think I'm a recruiter but I am not. What I am is a parent who's son did just this. I was happy he decided to join this part time military organization, work part time and continue college working towards the occupation he chose in the Air Force.
It's at least something to think about but at the very least...speak with your college counselor/advisor. They may also come up with suggestions. Good luck!

Just suck it up and deal!\
College graduates make more money, have more oppurtunity.
Quiting is easy - completing stuff is hard. It will pay off in the long term.
Look at changing your major but the first few years are all kind off bullcrap stuff you jsut ahve to get through to get to the fun stuff in years 3 and 4.
Good luck

I saw one of your other postings and you said you have a .95 GPA. I think it would be better off if you left before you got kicked out or wasted anymore money. School isn't for everyone. If they see that you aren't producing results in school, maybe they'll be more understanding.

Try switching majors. You will meet new people and you can study something that interests you.
