When you receive your diploma, regardless of age. Don't quit, get the education either as a diploma or GED.
And as a side note: I had my daughter at 16, I stayed in public high school and continued into college. The only thing preventing my college degree was illness. Now my daughter is a Sophomore in High School and my son at 6th grader; if I had quit what kind of example would I have set? Staying in school was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

High School Dropouts Aren't All 'F' Students
by Elaine Korry
Morning Edition, March 2, 2006 · A new study from the Gates Foundation finds that high school dropouts aren't always getting F's on their report cards. A surprising number are C or better students, and most say they regret having dropped out.

I would have to say that a person could quit whenever they want to, government shouldnt control your freedom of choice

I don't know but why would you want to quit school? If you do, then you'll be throwing away your life!!

I think it's 18. If you quit earlier you will have your driver's license pulled.
