You won't have to take high school all over again-simply the classes that you did not pass that kept you from graduating. This can usually be done in either a summer session or the next fall. Of course you don't have to go back, but a high school diploma is needed in the majority of well paying jobs today.
I would also suggest you get your high school diploma so that at some point, if you ever decide to go to college you are able to. While community colleges have open admissions, you have to have a high school diploma to be allowed to take classes there.
Keep working hard, and asking for help-this way your teachers can see you are trying, but they can also give you individual help which may help you pass.
Good luck!

No. You don't have to take high school all over again... Just the grade or semester you didn't pass. As for college, no. You can't go to college without your high school diploma or GED. You can always try to get your GED instead. It's just one test you have to pass then you never have to go back to high school again AND you can go ahead to college. I took it when I was 15. It wasn't that hard.
If you are slow, then you may want to study for your GED. After you pass, then try a trade school instead of actual college. If you are having this much trouble in high school, well, college will be even more difficult. Trade schools are great. They train you specifically in the field you want to go into and not other stuff you don't need. You can be a mechanic, a veterinary technitian, etc. Look into it. College isn't for everyone.

You don't have to start from scratch, but if you wish to go to college you'll need to get your GED, meaning general education degree. This is the equivalent of a high school diploma if you don't graduate normally. Going to night school, summer school, or having some form of schooling from home might allow you to get your high school equivalency.
You can get some jobs without a completed high school education, so that's kind of a partial option. However, these types of jobs don't typically offer a lot of security, so just going to get a job like that is a temporary solution at best.

Of course I'd be nice, when I first saw the question I thought there would be rude answets, oh well ignore rude answers I have no idea why they bother reading questions anyway...
Instead of making fun of your question, I beleive it's deep, well-thought question... Little kids go to kindgarden, normal kids go to elemantray schools, older kids go to middle schools, big kids go to high schools, then young adults go to college... You see, you spend ALL your childhood and youth going from word to word, number to number, page to page, book to book, grade to grade, phase to phase, school to school, till you GRADUATE! So graduation is the 'end' of the story, but it's not only the end, it's what you have made for ALL those years, you can't be doing good in school and NOT graduate, and yet you can't be doing really that bad in school and graduate, so see it's all about a balancing act, graduation is what you make it... You had lived for like 24 years of your life, did you succede in these years? If these, conradulations, you graduated! Now you can word the great job you always dreamed to have, you can make your dream come true that day... If NOT, what can you do? Sit in your home and pay the bills? Who else would pay them for you? Working at the Mcdonalds wouldn't be a good idea, but oh well you'd have no other choice...
Hope that was good answer to your question!

What happens when you don't graduate what? High school? If you don't graduate high school you're really hurting yourself. Of course you can get your GED which is fine but your future will not be the best and brightest chances are. You're really positioning yourself to be working in retail, food services, factory, or construction. And while some people like that, the chances of improving your standings aren't fantastic (not that it couldn't happen).

No, but it is very hard to get into college without a high school diplomia or something equvilant to it. Most colleges will not accpet a non high school grad, but there are a few out there. My would say gradute from high school or get your GED before applying to any college.

You can also earn a G.E.D. and then, after attending a community college, transfer to a 4-year college or university.

you can get a GED (which is equal to a high school diploma) or make up your credits, go to a community college for two years to save up for a 4year colllege

you just have to make up the credits you are missing, once you do that you can go to college.
