this is mostly to you people who think other people who drop out of school are lazy or want an easy way out. or maybe they just don't understand the reality of life? well my question is, what do you say to someone who dropped out of school because they couldn't take it. they couldn't stand being picked on all the time, or they were too shy to make any friends. what if they could do the work just fine, as long as they weren't worrying about their social life all of the time? no, they don't want to flip burgers for the rest of their lives, but they also don't want to be abused by people who have nothing better to do. what do you say to these people, because that is the situation of plenty of people who drop out. it's kind of hard to deal with all of the school work when they have to worry about finding somewhere to sit in the cafeteria since they have no friends. i'm curious, enlighten me.

It may be a good idea to drop out, but take a proficiency exam that gives you the equivalent to a diploma. Such an equivalent can get you into a junior college (even if you're not 18 yet), and if the person is serious about continuing their education, they can transfer later to an accredited 4 year university.
This is what I did.
I didn't have a problem with anyone in high school, I just hated the remedial nature of it all. I took the California High School Proficiency Exam when I was 16, passed it, and began junior college. Transferred to a 4 year (a very reputable one I may add) when I was 18, graduated at 20, and am now 23 and in Med school.
It was without a doubt the best decision I have ever made.

Ooh...please be careful. The reality is that there is no hard and fast rule of listed requirements for success in life. HOWEVER..we live in a world where the standards are set by our competition. Put yourself in the place of an employer - who would you hire? Someone who stuck it out the whole way through school? Or someone who took his/her chances on a mediocre test? If you're not in a tough situation that requires you to work at a young age, complete school AND go to college if you can - give your world more options! By submitting to defeat from those who would pick on you at school, you are allowing THEM to take charge of YOUR destiny! Don't let them do that! Independent study at home if you have to, work something like that out with the school faculty. Be creative and you will have more choices than you think.
Take care
Good Luck!.

I dropped out of school when I was 16 and got my GED when I was 17. There really isn't much difference. I couldn't handle school. I had some issues and this was the best choice for me. I'm 33 now and back in school for veterinary assistant. I have been a housewife (by choice) for 10 years now.
