Should I drop out or stay in school for the fifth year - Capo™ - Jan 11, 2017
This is a question that has been passing over my mind lately a lot. If I were to drop out I would get my GED. I want to know what you guys think I should do...

Definitely stay and finish your education. If you honestly don't think you can do it, then just go for your GED. It's always up to you at the end.

Some times dropping out is the right answer. Many reasons people dont finish school.
Tell us more about yourself OP, what would be your reason of not going back?

Dont drop out man. People dont NEED education to be succcesfull, yea alot didnt finish high school and made it good. I dropped out softmore highschool, Am 22 turning 23, still no GED. But forget my story, just stick with it for now and even if it may not be usefull or needed its better than NEEDING it and struggling to get it.
Not saying YOULL need it, but its more of like a safe thinkiing that most people that the age of dropping out arent clear enough to see things this way.
Thats what i think also what i was told when i dropped out. I remember everytime someone tried to convice me not to drop out and listened and said thank you. But in my head im thinking they have no idea who i am. Im different.
And everyone is different but for my own experience i was wrong.

I would say stay for the fifth year but do what you want to do. High school isn't for everyone.

If you drop out then find a way for the state to pay for online school.
Even retarded people now have high school diploma and associate's degrees. Private GED is expensive as fuck and it's not like you'll be able to afford it.

To be honest I probably can afford it lol

Fifth year? Where do you live I'm pretty sure high school is only 4 years.

Pay for it and not be able to work full time or take forever to get it.
Then your min wage job gets automated, but you're already living paycheck to paycheck, and it would take 4 years just to get the bachelor's after that. I'm assuming you don't have mommy and daddy money.
It's a lot harder to get back on the education train than it is to keep going.

The people who get their GED are (most of the time) quitters.
They say it's a high school diploma equivalent, but it's not in the real world.

No i do believe i lack alot of social skills because of my choice made. Also i dont wish i stayed longer than i did at least enough for me to be able to speak with the words that are meant and not come off sounding like a... lol - how i speak here but regardless. Im trying to say is this is a prime example of what i neglected when i decided to dropout

It may be worth your time staying on and getting more opportunities via education?

Finishing your mandate education is the first test of, "Can you, and will you finish what you started"
Me personally, I got kicked out when I was 17 between jobs so I had no income, no place, and no means of transportation.
I registered with an alternative school that I walked 10 miles to for a week. I expedited my classes, still graduating with my diploma.
I graduated with my diploma before all of my class, I got a job, and signed the lease on my first place the day I turned 18.
Whatever reason you're wanting to quit, just bust it out man! your almost through. It's nothing compared to the real life struggles that fly at you 100 mph.

You should just finish high school.
If there is no urgent reason as to why you need to drop out, then don't do it.
