    Compulsory school attendance is 18 in Texas. I would urge you to reconsider and stay in school to get your grade 12 diploma. You've probably heard that many times before, but I know people who dropped out and nearly all of them regretted it by the time they were over 20 and working at Wal-mart or Mcdonalds. Education is the key to success and a good paying job.

    Even with your parents permission a person can not quit school ?

    I can preach and preach that you shouldn't drop out of school. But I did, so that would be wrong. Instead, I'm going to find the reasoning behind it. Why do you want to drop out of school? What grade are you in now? What are your plans if you do drop out?
