I’m a senior, will dropping out ruin my life?

[clock]

I am 18 years old with 3 months left of school. My entire life I’ve beyond excelled in school. Straight A’s till about junior year, because of ADHD medication. And I hate stimulants, they make me genuinely so sad and negative and I don’t eat so my body wastes away. Every day in school, I’m borderline in tears because of how much I hate it. It’s not even that the work is hard i’m so sick of doing it and it’s making me genuinely hate my life. I have tons of friends and I’m pretty “popular” but it doesn’t change the fact the school makes me hate my life. I quit my job that I loved at the pet shop because school was draining the life out of me. I’m sick of reading books that’s help me with nothing and I’m sick of teachers telling me how to live my life. My grades are shit now like fucking 55%s left and right. I’m basically guaranteed summer school and I honestly just can’t keep living like this. I want to drop out and get my GED. I’m well educated enough to excel on it and I don’t think the normal college life path is going to be right for me. I have wealthy parents that have many connections in the business realm and they have told me that no matter what they will make sure I’m successful. I’ve talked to them about dropping out and they are surprisingly supportive of my decision. If I end up dropping out, do you guys think it’ll be the biggest regret I ever make? Or will it allow me to work jobs and figure out skill sets I have, allow me to learn how to save and invest money, and overall help me become successful? It sounds retarded but again, I just don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel and the idea of a GED lets me see some light.

idk man, 3 months try atleast

i’ve been telling guidance at school that the teaching styles in class aren’t appealing to me and I can’t focus even while medicated. Guidance literally is telling me that I “have to” whether I like it or not. I just feel so powerless bro, like I wanna make a decision for my life this time, like my own decision.

u could probably do fine in the us without a degree with connections etc like u could get into cybersecurity and it doesnt neceseraly require a diploma hands on practice instead is valued more tho cybersecurity is very oversatured it was just an example cause here in albania if u dont have a uni diploma they will not take you for any job even those were diplomas arent required lol like getting a job as a server without diploma is the most you can do here were i live.

Your guidance counselor is terrible, try going online. Sounds like you have beef with the teachers, just skip class and use AI/Chat GPT to get all of your work done, no need for thinking or reading. If you go to class, just sit on your phone when the teachers not looking. No need to drop out

I had a similar experience in my last 4 months of high school, you can switch your current classes to online ones and you don't have to go to school you'll still get your diploma just make sure you doo all the assignments

I feel you, I have to buy suspicious adderall pressies which are definitely fake and probably have some meth in them just because my cuck doctor won't prescribe me a higher dose/count even though I need it for my low dopamine baseline

Idk though, I can usually go in between doses for a few days fine though

Just tell ur counselor ur depressed and switch to online school for the remainder

 

[insignia_]

I didn't read everything, but a few things to consider:

What is your plan if you drop out? What do you want to do with your life? Will you work? Will you get hired by your family's business? Will you try to start something on your own & maybe take advantage of the connections your family has? Do you really think you can't endure 3 more months of school?

It'll become really hard to get a regular job without a high school diploma. However, I do agree that being miserable for the remainder of high school is a bad situation to be in.

Since you have wealthy parents and will be successful regardless, dropping out wouldn't be the end of the world. You just cannot become a lazy bum after you drop out though.

You can drop out if you truly have a plan, but I still think some form of self-education is important for life in general. Find something that works for you, work around your ADHD, idk. You know yourself better than I do, I'm just suggesting pursuing self-education in some way if you do drop out.
