Im 17 years old and am currently in my fourth year of high school, for the past few days i have been highly considering dropping out and getting my ged. I would go straight to community college in my city, and earn 15 credits to be accepted into the airforce. The recruiter said that a ged with 15 college credits is the same as a high school diploma. I just cant see me doing 5 more months of this bull. Working an average of 45 hours a week (including weekends), i just dont have the time to worry about all the little assignments they give me.

I’m 15 and getting held back, so this year i’ll be in 9th grade again. I have a learning disability. I’m on home school, and I still don’t learn. But when I want to, I can. When I turn 16 I’m going to drop out, and get my ged and go to college. I will only study for the ged. and stuff i’ll need to know for college. Everyone says its a bad idea but if I know what I want and have my heart set on it, then I can do it. (: Only drop out for good reasons. i’m also anti social, which is to hard for school.

Daniel,

If you’re 18, does that mean you would be graduating high school this spring? If that’s the case, wait for your diploma. You wouldn’t be able to enroll in college until next fall anyway.

Alternatively, if you’re not graduating this spring, you can always dual enroll in college classes that will give you credit for both college and high school if you want.

If you stay in high school, and keep your grades up, you’ll pass. If you drop out, then it’s ALL on the GED. If you fail even one test, you have nothing. On top of that, passing the GED tests is harder than finishing high school. I recommend you stay in school.

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.
