You can but you would be doing a very stupid thing by doing so, Get an education and be free

Well first thing, no matter what keep her in school!! What i would do is look up the average salary per year of someone that doesn't have a high school diploma. I know for a fact its not a lot at all! Then i would show her how much more you can make with a diploma. I know those are some scare tactics but honestly they work. Secondly, if the bullying is what she's worried about tell her that she only has one more year of school and after that she won't see that "bad kids" any more. And also, in the end things tend to work themselves out. So she might take comfort in the fact that even though she's picked on now, the people picking on her are going nowhere fast. In the end though you need to really stress how important it is to stay in school to her. Ultimately though she just needs one more year to invest in a totally better future for herself. Stress that point. Good luck!

I don't know what the laws are like in Texas, but why do you want to drop out of school? It may be hard, but I really think you should try to stick it out. There are a lot of jobs out there that require you to have at least a high school diploma. Before you make any major decisions consider your future and the future of a family you may want to have down the road.

YES, It is NOT advisable but yes you can. You will always have the need for a job unless you're filthy rich, and the only way to get a job is to have at the very least a high school diploma. Hey, you might even learn something, although you sound like you already know everything. But do yourself a BIG favor. Stay in school and get your diploma. Good Luck.

You cant drop out with out your parents consent. But you shouldnt be thinking about dropping out. School is a very essential thing in your life. Your education is everything you need and all that you need. Incase anything does happen..your education will always be there. That will neve fail you.

Sure. You can also jump off a bridge, shoot up heroin, decide your life is going to be one of constant financial struggle. You can decide that short-term gratification is better than long-term gains. You can take big steps to throw your life away. Sounds like a great plan.

If you just stop going to school isn't that the same thing?
