Absolutely not! It may not seem important to you now, but trust me you will regret dropping out for the rest of your life. And if you are playing with the idea that if you drop out and change your mind you can just go back it hardly ever happens. Enjoy this time in your life, soon enough you will have to work and have a million reponsibilites and you don't get summers off and a bunch of vacations.
Besides the pride and sense of accomplishment you will have on your graduation day is worth more than you can ever know.

If you drop out, you will regret it. Trust me. I dropped out when I was at the start of my junior year....I went and got my GED but, found that it just wasn't good enough. After I had kids, I ended up going back and finishing my high school credits. You won't find a descent job...you even have to score higher on the tests for our military if you have a GED rather than a diploma. Not to mention eventually, your decision will negatively impact your self esteem.
Stay in school...it's not that bad.

No, you should not drop out of school. I do not know your age, but an education is important for your entire life. I know people who dropped out of school before high school graduation, or college graduation and have just stalled out in entry level jobs that they detest.
You may be having a difficult time due to all kinds of factors, but you should just get some help from teachers or advisors and just convince yourself that you are going to finish your classes and graduate.
I have been in managerial positions where I have been involved in the hiring of employees, and the majority of applicants who do not have a high school diploma, and in many cases, a college education; will not even be considered for a basic interview.
Companies do not have time to be teaching basics of education to new hires. If a person cannot legibly fill out a simple application or any paperwork, it is practically useless to hire them.
I am sure that you have high aspirations and dreams for your life, and do not want to be stuck in a dead end job for the rest of your life. Please get some help, talk to your parents and teachers and think positive. Good luck to you.

You decide. This article will tell you how much a high school dropout can expect to make, as well as a person who finishes high school, and a person who finishes college.

I'd suggest subtracting about a third for taxes, finding out how much rent is in your area, figuring out the cost of your car payment and gas, car insurance, food, utilities, clothing. Then figure out how much is left over for emergencies (like if you are out of work for awhile due to illness or injury, or if your house burns down). Then whatever is left over can be divided between savings and fun stuff like going out (if there's any left over).
If you can't do the calculations, then stay in school long enough to figure out how to budget your money!

i dont think you should because you decision doesnt just affect you.Since my sister decided to drop out, her relationship with my parents has deteriorated.AND IN ANY CASE DO YOU WANT TO BE KNOWN AS DROP-OUT?-i dont think so. talk to your close friends and family about this and find out what they think. remember many people would kill to be able to go to school so dont waste your oppotunities. hope you make the right decision!!!!

No! But, if high school seems hopeless to you, look into Adult Ed. or alternative high school programs. They may be more accommodating to your situation??

NO, a diploma says a lot about you, or else you'll seem like a quitter!! Employer's don't like to hire quitters.
