Answer 1

Well, It's better then nothing, I suppose, but plan on a life of minimum wage jobs and living paycheck to paycheck. It sucks. After you get your GED, why don't you go to a 12 month training school for some kind of skills that will make you job marketable. Above all, keep your credit good! If you take any advice, take this advice. If you ruin your credit at a young age, it will affect your whole life. At least be smart enough to know this.

Answer 2

go back to school and learn to spell...

Answer 3

You can't handle high school anymore?  You're in trouble then, because the real world will be a lot harder, especially for someone with just a GED.  Stay in school.  

Answer 4

So what else do you plan to do with your life all day instead of going to school?  Do you have a plan?  There aren't too many jobs for 16 year olds unless you have the hook up.  There is so much more to school that you can experience.  You made it this far, why not finish it out?  You are sooooooooo close.  

No there is nothing wrong with getting a GED.  I mean at least you desire to get one.  But finding a good job or going to college will be even tougher.  Why start your life off with challenges?  Ask yourself what is it that is so horrible about GOING to school?  ARe people picking on you, do you just hate the teachers, do you hate the structure of school?  Then ask yourself....if these are issues then how the heck do you plan to handle full time employment?  Ask yourself are the reasons you don't want to go to school really valid and important or are you just being lazy?  Not goint to school is not going to mean life will be easier on you.  so I hope you don't have a false picture painted.

Answer 5

You can't handle school anymore and your 16?!? That's fine and all but unless you're incredibly creative or talented in something else you are going to work at McDonald's for the rest of your life...

Answer 6

Getting your high school diplomia looks so much better than GED. Your only 16. You are going to miss out on so much.

Answer 7

It looks better on you if you have a high school diploma.  Everyone gets tired of school it is part of life and growing up.  Please stay in school.  However a GED is better than nothing.
