If you cannot apply yourself now in high school, where there is tutoring available and extra time for study - where and how are you going to apply yourself in any later life?

Yes, you can drop out of high school, I believe you have to be 16 in order to drop out, but your state may have a different law regarding that. Just because you do drop out, do not think you can come back the same year and go for a GED. It is not that simple.

If you drop out now, what can you possibly think of for future employement, until you would obtain your GED, should you pass the GED test?

Why don't you go and talk to your school's guidance counselor and talk to him or her about your problems. That person can direct you to tutoring, after school help, etc. Also that person can best advise you to what happens when you drop out.

A lot of people said that to me " if i can't pass my freshman year how do i expect to pass the ged" but its worth a try although I don't want to actually drop out... its confusing my mom always tells I'm really smart she doesn't understand why I don't do good inschool I don't know..

What-- you again? [teasing]
I do not know which state your in but the 3 states I checked have a minimum age of 18 to even take the test.
Just out of curiosity what where your grades 2 years ago?
I really have a problem with a mother encouraging a kid [I know you hate that word] to drop out. [but also know am hearing 1 side lol] -- Savage

Honest answer here -- be honest to your self- are you really trying or are you letting things[ie boyssss] distract you?-- Savage

Haha you know me well... kidding well I don't no... boys do take part in a lot of my life but at the same time I am going to be honest right now I really do try hard.. maybe not as hard as I should but there is effort going on but nothing I learn seems to click ; nothing seems to go through my head or at least be absorbed enough to be able to go home and do homework or pass a test

Ok your online == Have you ever tried to search for the idiots manual to any of the subjects that your stumbling on? One girl that was having math problems I did a few searches and found a few sites like that.

Please note that I am not calling you a idiot -- that's a old book referance.

No I haven't, ill look into it but since it's the end of the year alreay do you think its too late to pass the 9th grade?

TheSavage · Mar 27, 2007, 04:09 PM

That would be something that you will have to talk to your teachers/guidances councilors about. They are there to help you and with enough get off my butt and try -- who knows what can happen -- but its up to you to go to them and say what can I do to pass and stick to it. -- savage
