I stopped school at 15, went back this year and left after less than a month
cuz they had me washing teachers cars and shit in the 16+ program
sooo i say fuck school i know i could work part time and do school
but that's not enough for me... i'll just work...

I also left high school my JR year(3rd year) because I wasn't learning much, wasn't interested, and it was just a plain kick in the ass to get up at 6 every morning.Schools here are such bullshit I'll tell ya. All you gotta do is take your G.E.D when you're 18. And if you wanna go to a 4 year college all you have to do is go to Community College first (the 2 year one). I'm not advertising for all of you to dropout, but I'm a decently smart kid.
peace

but your gonna leave school and move out? and have to pay for Rent, electric/gas, heating / hot water, food, tax? (not sure what thats like where your from), internet (assuming you wish to take your computer with you and have internet access?), lets not forget you weed either, oh yeah theres transport too, whether you get your own car or motor bike, or have to use public transport everyday that too will put a dent in your wallet.

You absolutely sure you've thought this through 100%?

you need school.

or you need to quit smoking and get a construction job, if you arent gonna go to school.

or prepare to flip burgers til your 75, with no chance of retirement.

trust the ones with experience, youre too young to give up on school.

Listen to the guys like Wesley who're giving you good advice. You can undercut the rest of your life and settle for a subsistence life and a minimum wage job. But when you get grown up and past the I'm-too-cool-for-school age and want to have a family or pay the bills, you're going to need some sort of training. We live in a society that demands that nowadays. Not saying it has to be classroom school. Not everyone's meant for that. But some sort of training in a trade will make a lot of difference in your being able to support yourself, not have to be a bottom feeder always looking up at the rest of the folks who're living a higher quality of life, and your ability to buy decent weed.

at last someone with some common sense, thank you birdgirl, much hugs and kisses

to platinum plus: at the end of the day, your still a kid, and the fact that you actually believe your "too cool for school" only confirms your childish attitude, my advice would be to grow up before you do anything else, cuz you won't last in the real world with that attitude man.
