Education is the best gift you can give yourself! Stay in school...whether you finish at your high school or you get a GED, doesn't matter, as long as you get that education!
As far as your feeling bad because of being teased, remember, you are special in your own way and God loves you! Others can be cruel and that is a sad thing...but THEY are the ones with the problem. Hold your head up and continue towards your goal of being a businessman!
I wish I knew how you react to the teasing...do you cower down? If so, DON'T! LAUGH WITH them, make a wise crack or whatever...but keep in the game as the player who's in FIRST place : )

There is no reason why you should let people tease and bully you because of your looks keep you from getting an education! People say things - it's a fact of life and it doesn't get any easier. But you can't let them get you down and you sure as hell can't let them ruin your education. That is the most important thing! It's something you need and will use day in and day out. If you want to drop out, I'd sugguest you go for your GED and get into community college, and possibly transfer out to a larger college, or get a degree in business from a CC. What grade are you in at 20 years old? You really shouldn't blame people teasing you because of your looks a reason for you to be unsuccessful in school.
Growing up I was always a chunky girl until I hit junior year, and that never stopped me from keeping a 3.8 gpa. Stop blaming other people and get your act straight!

NO you should not drop out!!!! If you drop out now then you will never be a businessman, you be working at Chester's chicken!!! and all the people that were teasing you will tease you even more. I am sorry how do you expect to be a businessman if you don't finish high school let alone collage cause you can only be a very successful businessman if ya go to collage and cant go to collage without out a high school diploma, now can ya...I think not! hope you make the right decision.

If you allowed teasing of your looks to depress you and hold you back from your studies, then being teased about being a twenty year old high school student can't be much better. Get your GED, move on, and stop letting the actions of others be the cause of your success or failure. Good luck.

Ignore them you know that success is made with hard work and drop outs or more of dropping isn't a very good idea
Read the book The Outsiders
Think of what Sodapop could have become
but remember just a personal opinion

DO NOT drop out of high school! If you have to switch schools. Or try a distance learning program like Keystone National High School.
Good Luck with everything.

Don't listen to that first guy. Here's what I would do in your situation. If you don't feel like finishing high school, drop out and go for your GED. With a GED you can still go to college or trade school and get a degree to be a business man. I wish you the best of luck!

Stay in and get it done. I dropped out when I was 17 and it took me a while to catch up from the damage that did. If you stay in school it will make the application process for university much easier.

Show that you believe in yourself by completing school. Your looks are partly created by such self-promotion and self-assurance. Did Bill Gates back down because he looked geeky? Donald Trump with that hairdo? There are lots of examples of people who didn't worry about their looks but have become successful despite them.
Finish school and work hard.
Good luck!

unless you have a rich daddy, like paris hilton who is a drop out and in prison, I suggest you do not.
