Yea i feel the same way. I am 18 right now.I’m a senior in high school. What made me feel that I want to recieve a GED is because my school is such a drag. It is a terrible school. You don’t basically learn anything there. They are too cheap to issue books. The discipline level is low. I plan on being a Pychologist or a family practitioner. If you put your mind to it, you will have a successful life.

For starters, do not drop out. Half of the people on here are talking in slang. Although a lot of famous people have their GED doesn’t mean its right for you. You really need to think about your doing. I droped out my senior year at 18 because I was pregnant and I needed to find a job right away to provide for myself and son. I was in my senior year I’m currently working on my GED at the age of 19 and it is not easy. I live with the parents of my sons father and my soon to be husband. Just think about what your doing.

Im 18 years old and its going to be my senior year soon. i failed 6th grade so i was technically supposed to have graduated by now. Im not Quitting at all. I wanna just get my GED and be done with high school. I don’t feel like i learn anything there. I already know half the stuff and i get bored hearing it over and over. I never do good in school cause i don’t do homework alot i guess…or its just testing. its cause its kinda bad at my house and im just stressed. I don’t think dropping out is bad unless you don’t plan on going to college. I just wanna get out! also if i drop out i can finally move in with my Fiance who lives 3 hours away and i will be able to get a job and get my ged. then go to college for art. As long as you have good plans for your life after you drop out its ok. Alot of famous people have GED’s too. look it up you will be suprised.

I turn 16 this year i missed most of my 2nd yr of high school (well secondry school for me im brittish) and then i went back then i droped out again just over half a yr ago an hav’nt been since (very complecated problems) school doesn’t teach u common sense or how to guess acuratly what sum1 else is feeling they don’t teach u to talk or to feel or how to think logicly they just teach u stuff like math an u really only need to know +, x, – and deviding which u learn in primary school (or what eva amaricans call it lol) an u don’t really need to be gd at math unless u wanna be a shop keeper and they teach u english which just shows u how to write better an stuff u don’t need to as long as the person ur writing to gets the message, an useless stuff like history, any1 who sais sum1 is stupid cuz they missed a bit (or even alot) of school is stupid. i play the piano pretty well (top in my music class when i went which was weird cuz i was a naughty little fuker hehe) i play by ear an stuff, i just normally teach my self

my names katie, ive been in homeschooling for two years, because i failed 8th grade, and i refused to repeat it with my younger sister, i didnt think it would be fair on her part. i started late so they failed me again, making me be in 8th grade three times. i am sixteen this may, and i am still in 8th grade. it has nothing to do with how smart i am, because i am above average when it comes to how intelligent i am, i get told i am very mature for my age, and im ready to completely move on and start college. Once i turn 16 i am getting my GED and my permit, from there i’ll start community college for two years, and then go to pittsburg for culinary at there college. im not a drop out, i did not quit, or drop out and figure i’ll work at mcdonalds for the rest of my life, i chose to do what is best in my situation, and get ahead. this way i will be dont college when i am 20-24.

see.. im 17 and working on my fourth year of high school.. unfortuantly i have to repeat senior year again… soo FIVE years of highschool..
im really mature for my age and i know whats right from wrong.. im just confused right now because.. i try sooo freakin hard at school.. but yet. i dont suceed at all…
ive been thinking here lately that i want to LEAVE high school and move one with my life after this year is over.. im not droping out and quiting.. see thats what i think droping out means.. quiting! im not i jsut want to move on to big a better things.. i want to be a photographer and then major in message theraping after photography school..
im determined to do this and i dont want anyone to feel as if i cant! i have no luck with high school and yes because of that i am scared to leave high school and all the sudden have to grow up soo fast.. but the love of my life is outside of high school… and thats my career in my future.. i do not want to repeat another year.. becuase i feel as if i have to be controlled and like im un willing to grow.. i will be 18 in august by the way.. and having my own perspective and sticling to it.. makes feel like i can accomplish anything.. and i will.. i am not a high school drop and wont be known as one.. my future will be sucessful and i will do this.
