yes don’t be stupid, there’s a very high chance you won’t make it and you’ll be a useless bum with nowhere to go, you need a safety netI 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.
