You should stay in school because if you don't...you will regret it for the rest of your life. You do not want to get a job you are only 15 almost 16 and you want to throw your childhood and youth away by working? Let me tell you hun that if you dont finish high school...its a LOT harder to find a good job where you will make good money. Im not saying its impossible...but harder. Your throwing your future away. Youre also missing out on sooo much. even if you hate high school...these are the years that shape you and make you who you are. I promise you that if you quit...you would regret it for the rest of your life.
My best friend is 21 and dropped out at 17 and now he is trying to go back to school but he is having such a difficult time with the work because he's not been doing it for so long. He dropped out to work in concrete and at 21 he has a terrible back already and he doesn't make a whole lot of money. Everyday he wishes he hadn't made that choice that he made. so please...I know it may seem like you want to now but trust me you don't. Please stay in school.
Also what do your parents think? Because in order to drop out of school you have to have your parents permission because you are under 18 and are not a legal adult. You have to go thru this a bunch of paper work.
PLEASE DON'T DROP OUT!!!

Don't!
You will honestly regret within a couple of years...!
Get your GCSE's and then leave, if you wish to...
Law says that you have to stay in education till your 16, so you have till Summer 2008 - which may currently seem a million miles away, but it will fly by...
Consider speaking to your parents, teachers, older friends...
Think about why it is you wish to go out to work... is it school, the homework, your subjects, money reasons, wanting your independence?!
I can honestly say I know exactly how you feel... I knew I couldn't leave, so I just started bunking off... thankfully I scraped by and got all C's in 9 GCSE's and now at university having a great time... For two years I did the whole full-time job thing.... and personally prefer the lazy uni student life, lol.. You have your WHOLE life to be working, you honestly ain't missing anything..!
I stopped working full time, because I couldn't achieve my career goals with the qualifications I had... so now I'm 2 years behind!
Speak to a career adviser... There is a great company called Connexions http://www.connexions-direct.com who you can get in contact with to speak to someone about your school, home, work life....
Good luck, im sure you will make the right decision!

STAY IN SCHOOL!!!
You will earn, no lie, 12 times more money as a graduate than as a dropout. In addition, many companies will not hire you without a HS diploma and some college.
Tough it out, you can get a part time job at any fast food restaurant and you'll see what your future holds pretty quick. Do you really want to be broke and a worker bee all your life??

I am warning you that DON'T LEAVE SCHOOL. YOU WILL REGRET IN A COUPLE OF YEARS. Without school, i doubt you get anywhere in life. I will be shocked if u even get a job at McDonalds or smaller shops without passing high school or college. There is almost no way u can get a good job or a life with school. so plz don't drop out.

Please dont even think about doing it!!! You will really hate it years from now! Whatever your problem is at home, just wait it out.
Your 16!! We ALL had some kind of problems at home, but us sane ones worked it out and are living normal lives.... The ones that didn't wait or work it out (in my childhood) are gone... 1 is in prison, 2 are complete drug addicts, and 3 I have seem buryed at the ages of 21, 18 and 25.
Don't be the next person..... Think!!

Drop out of school early and you are destined for a career as a dishwasher or toilet scrubber. Graduate and you will have far more possibilities and earning potential.

You may also look out for an option to work online to make extra cash in your spare time.
