so i am planing to drop out of highschool. but in like 10 or i might just drop out as soon as i turn 18 and work for a ged

not up on the law there, actually you may not be able to just "drop" out.
And esp you can't unless your dad and mom will be ok with it.

But why, your chances of getting a good job with a high school degree is still poor. But with none, there is no future for most.

You're already halfway finished. Finish high school. Love may not last forever, but a high school diploma will be worth its weight in gold between bfs.

Wondergirl

I know in GA, the legal age is 16, I think it's like that in other states too.
But why in the world would you drop out? Better yet why would your parents approve of your dropping out?
Sorry but I think your making a decision that your going to really regret later. You need a diploma to do almost anything that pays over $7 an hour...and that is not near enough to support a family, heck it's hardly enough to support one person in some places. A diploma simply shows that you;re able to complete things.

Just think real hard about what your doing before you do it.

school is for everyone, it is not a waste of time.
Im 16, and im in year 12, and if i can do it, anyone can.
Your entire future rests on school.
Go all the way, do your year 12, and go to uni or some other higher education, you will be thankful you did later on.

Sorry but, that's a dumb reason. If it were a waste of time, why would it be required for the entierty of the American population? School isn't for you...what your failing math or something? Really don't be stupid.
I'll probably get some bad ratings for this BUT....Get your head out of your but and work for something! People don't just give things to you, you have to earn them. The last thing this country needs is another drop out. The last thing YOU need/want is to be a cook at mcDonalds for the rest of your life, or working a double shift at K-mart just to pay your rent.
