Answer 1

Listen i am not going to lie to you.. I hated school myself and couldnt wait for it to be over!! But i think finishing is a good thing and you should be proud of youself for doing it(if you decide to finish).. But if you drop out you could always get a GED equivalent which most employers honor.. I finished myself but by the skin of my teeth(if not for my mother).. I feel i would be no different if i finished or i got my GED in my case. As for you, i cannot say. If its something you feel strogly about and you feel like your future is in no direct harm than ask your mother if you can drop out. Otherwise just stick it out because its really a small part of your life compared to the realities of adulthood, which can be much more overwhelming compared to your current life!!  

Answer 2

well i was in the same situation but i kind of had a break down so my mom asked if i  just wanted to take a semester off so i did  n i helped myslef wel at least i tried, when i went back to school same thing happened, so my advice is to get professional help to deal with it cuz im still dealing with mine n messed up my life, but if u chose to drop out when u r 19 i believe it is u can take a test which is called the ged test this will count for ur grade 12 if u pass it, but its not exactly a grade 12. but it will get u into collage. thats if u are in high school. but good luck hope things work out

Answer 3

School is a great experience though. It doesn't only teach you, but it helps you learn to socialize and deal with real world situations. You make friends and it can be more fun than you can ever imagine. Think about the long run too. Do you want to go to collage? Have a family and support them? Well, to do that you need to go to school so you can find a decent job.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Know that quitting school can make getting an education much harder. However, when my 2 kids were having trouble at school, I let them take a type of home school. You go to the school district and tell them you want to study at home. You study at your own pace and take the tests when you are ready instead of on the school schedule. Do as much of the information gathering as possible. The more info you can present to your mom the better chances that she can support you. If she would like to ask me how we did it, please have her email me I will be more than happy to talk to her about it. My daughter graduated and my son is almost done with only 3 more credits to go. If you can't deal with school pressure this may be a way for you. On the other hand, if you're depressed for more than 2 weeks you probably should go talk to your doctor. They can help you. The doctor will not expect you to just live with it. Email me if you would like, my address is [e-mail].
