Yes for a year. When I was a freshman in H.S. I didn't apply myself and only earned about 1/2 the credits I had signed up for. Then my sophomore year I did better but I was skipping out more. So after I got my drivers license and finished the year when it came time for school the next year which woulda been my third year I dropped out a few weks into it. My dad was a farmer and put me to work, said if I was man enough to quit school that it was time to start working and boy did I. 5:00 a.m. til whenever @ night. I hated it and wanted to go back to school but the folks wouldn't let me...more work to be done. So after a year of hard labor I re-enrolled and had to start again as a sophomore due to lack of credits. What contributed to all my problems was peer pressure from the friends I had, drugs and alcohol, and being bored w/school. I was overweight with low self esteem. After the year off I was so excited to go back I changed all my friends and started hanging out w/the athletes and got involved in sports, lost weight and cut down on the drugs and alcohol and skipping out. My grades came up from d's and f's to a's and b's I was popular and everything was easier than it ever had been before. I graduated 2 years after I should've and went on to take a year of college, but found I would rather work and make money. I had just about every bad influence you could have...bad friends,drugs and alcohol, low self esteem and a weight problem and boredom. Never again did I have that kind of trouble.

No I did not. Dropping our of high school is foolish. One is not ready for all the vicissitudes of life even after high school. Many a college graduate could not even cope with the world let alone a high school drop out.
Of course, not all high school drop outs end up badly. Bill Gates who is now a successful businessman because of Microsoft, was a high school dropout. But that is because he was way ahead to his class and could not stand to stay in with a bunch of no-gooders. He continued to use his scientific mind to forge through, and the rest, as they say, is history!

I didnt but my ex did. The thing is with most people that i have met they always have an excuse as to why they did. Noone ever says, it was hard, or i didnt like it. Always someone elses fault. At least in my experiences

I didn't....I know two people who did though.....one because she got pregnant, was scared how her parents would react, so she ran off, got married, and had the baby.
The other dropped out because he got a "fabulous" job offer, he has since gone back got a GED and gone on to college.

I didn't, but I think some reasons are because of their surroundings-like friends[drugs], if parents are involved enough, if there aren't parents at all, if they need to work because they need money to live.
