My male best friend has been skipping school and I dont know how to convince him to stop, He is a scorpio, he's 15 ysrs old, He has divorced parents, and his step father is a drunk, his best frind isn't helping, he's skipping with him, and he also has his own problems, They claim that they dont want to deal with all the bull sh*t that goes on in school, I keep trying to tell them that they are making their life worst by not going to class, someone please help me out I dont want to be the only one to graduate from my friends alone and I love them way to much for them to ruin their lifes so easy.

It sounds like he's really going through some bad times.
There may not be anything you can do for him now, but be his friend. Nagging him won't help. You can't control what others do.
Just do your schoolwork, and graduate. Don't worry about whether you're going to graduate "alone" or not. There's no point in messing up your own life.
He may change his mind and decide to finish school; he still has time. If he doesn't (I assume you're in the US), he could go to community college later, and go on from there.
What would be best for him would be to get some help in coping with his bad situation -- Al Anon is a group for relatives of alcoholics. Going to that would probably help him learn how to deal.
But as I say, you may not be able to do much.
But then, you never know how things will work out in the end.

Apparently, you are coping with a couple of 15 year old dummies who are destined to be losers. Regardless what sign the boy , notice( boy) is born under, he has to make his own way in life, without the guidance of good parents. That is a task which is difficult under the best of conditions. Without a basic education there is little future to succeed.Isn't there an adult, from a boys club, the church, a halfway house who can knock some sense into his and his friend's heads? Too bad he doesn't appreciate what a good friend you are to be concerned. You do your best.

Explain to them that they dont want to become a statistic and that skipping school is only going to leave them behind in learning therefore behind in grade. Ask them what they want to do for a living and then ask them how do they expect to get there without geting an education.
