drop out programs?

Question

Im a junior in high school and i want to drop out and earn my diploma or even my degree in a different way is there any suggestions?

Answer 1

Have you considered educating yourself. You sound as if school is not you bag right now, so why not un-school yourself.
Un-schooling is where you take charge of you education and learn the things that you need to learn at your own pace.
Talk to you counselor and ask if you can do this. If he/she tells you 'no' go to the web site of your state and find out what it takes to home-school. On-line high school is another option too.
Madison High School has a great program where you can earn you diploma on-line.
There are many colleges too that will help you get your degree too, but is this what you really want? What about your friends? Is school that terrible? Are the teachers that bad? Give it a lot of thought and then go explore some of the options. No matter what you decide it is going to be hard work and you will have to be very self-disciplined. But I think you can do it and I know you will give a lot of thought to your decision. :-)

Answer 2

You can get your GED, but I think that you should seriously consider staying in school. Will this be a decision that you regret a year from now, 5 years from now, 10 years from now? Have you decided what you are going to do once you drop out? You're going to have to get a job, but without a high school diploma, you'll never make more than minimum wage.

If you're a junior, you've just got 1 more year. You can tough it out.
