What do you work for? Your 16 for crying out loud! How much can you earn? Have you ever even had a real job?
Someone needs to be brutally honest! Sorry but, since I'm online and you don't know me and probably never will I figured I'd be the one to give you the reality check. The truth is many employers look down on HS drop outs. I know your a person, you have feelings, and I'm sorry. But, I also think you're too immature to really make a decision like that, you have no idea what kind of hole your digging for yourself.
Curiosity here...What do your parents say about all of this?

How much are you earning per hour? Doing what? For how many hours a day?

No one said you are less of a person if you drop out. I deal with teen court-ordered community service workers who want to drop out. Part of my job is to show them how much more valuable they will be to society and especially to themselves if they graduate from high school.

No, you don't need money to be happy, but you will need it to pay the rent, the grocery bill, for a car and insurance and maintenance and GAS which is horribly expensive, and copay if you need medical care IF you have insurance through your job.

Comments on this post
Gernald agrees: Exactly!

Getting through high school is like jumping through a stupid hoop. Sometimes the hoop looks like it's on fire. Trouble is, this is one of the first hoops put before you. There are more to come, many more.

Have you watched the movie "The Two Brothers"? At the end, both brothers jump through fire to safety. If one had not endured the pain of learning to jump, they both could have died.

If you want to drop out, you will. Do yourself a huge favor and decide with your parent's knowledge and the complete absence of drugs in your body and brain.

Some future.

OKAY...not parents, dad....And is your dad okay with you dropping out? or is he "fully supportive?"

Don't get mad at us. You asked for our help, not vice versa. You wanted the truth and you got it, now face it.

I just saw an answer you gave to someone whose heart has been broken. Your answer was very empathetic and understanding, just what she needs to hear. I bet you would be a dynamite counselor.
