What do you think of this decision I made?!
Question: I dropped out of high school after 11th grade for several reasons:
I didn't feel liked by anyone.
I failed the math section of the FLE twice which was required for graduation.
I have a learning disability.
I hung out with people that were dropouts.
Can anyone relate to what I went through in high school?

practice your burger flipping skillz
don't know what your doing but it would help if your dad was bill gates but you will regret this in the future.
yea, high school is tough, but you should get your GED though, you can get a better job and better pay
how Bad , but you have to tolerate all what you have mentioned for the sake of education
I didnt go to high school yet, im in grade 6 Lol
But,, YOUR TOTALLY COOOOOOL!
Nope.
Do you want fries with that?
No. i got off my *** and made no excuses. I finished college. BA in psychology.
hope you get back into school...otherwise you may find yourself with a lot of free time not being able to get a good job
i think it's bad
i can't relate
i'm still in high school..
Nope...but you better get a good job with the McDonald. Thats your only choice...good luck.
i would never drop out but its you do you feel like it was right if yes then yes if no then no
Bad bad bad choice
Don't make excuses it was a bad decision
If you don't work through this you've just complicated your life from now on.
When you get your head on straight, get a tutor and smoke that math test and get your GED.
your decision might have seemed the easy way out.. but you have to try your best and go back to school! there are too many possibilities out there. but without a highschool diploma its pretty hard..your not in it alone.. my friend dropped out and now she stays at her grandma's house all day eating pizzza pockets!! goo back to school!
Sounds stupid to me........maybe you just needed a hug and a kick in the rear end. Get back in school and off the pitty kick, and get new friends..........######
I honored the school paddle and listened to my parents.
everyone can relate! But Quitting never accomplishes anything it becomes habit in your life. Get back up fight thru it all so what you have a learning disability make it an ability work on your weaknesses we all have them. Never Never Never give up.
High school is tough on all kids -- yeah even the popular ones....just think about this -- you went through ELEVEN WHOLE YEARS of school only to give up??? I sure hope you plan on getting you GED. Otherwise, you're going to be suffering. My husband and I are 49 and 50 and we've struggeled forever and we GRADUATED high school. I'm not even sure if McDonalds will hire a drop out.
DAMMM IAM IN THE SAME BOAT...WITH THAT LEARNING DISABILITY CRAPPPPP :( .....DAM I WISH US BOTH LUCK WITH OUR FUTURE
i can relate to that, see i dropped out of school in year 10, i was 15, but now im 20 yrs old, **** job and im now regretting leaving school so im currently studying again, so i think u should have stayed in school and i do believe that u will regret dropping out.....but the choice is yours
We moved to a new school in high school and my brother felt so uncomfortable he dropped out. After that he got his GED and these days he makes great $ as a network admin for a large company. Of course he took many classes.
depends on what you want to do in life. If you go to a trade school I don't think you need a GED. But if you plan on moving from job to job you will eventually feel the need to get your GED because most the low paying jobs require a GED. (don't know why, it never did me a shred of good)
Look man. This comes from the heart. I was almost a high school dropout. I was soooooooooo close to doing it. Let me tell you I'm so glad I didn't! Best decision of my life.
I didn't feel liked by anyone either. But theres so many other options man! Find 1 friend. In 10th grade, that was the year I almost dropped out. But I met my bestest best friend to this day. Alicia. She helped me stay in school. Find 1 friend. Thats all you need.
Okay. So you failed a test twice. So what? The more you take it, the more you are prepared. Keep on taking it. Youll pass it eventually. Youll be gaining more experience the more you take it. Youll pass it!
So what you have a learning disability?! You still have potential! Don't let your disability hold you back in life! Pitiful excuse.
Well it looks like its time for a change in friends. Don't let your "friends" do this to you. Get new friends. You don't need these people. There not giving you good examples. I dont like this saying but "if your friend jumped off a cliff, would you?"... just cuz ur "friends" did it, doesn't mean you should.
So to answer your question? Yes I can. And I made it! You can too.

In a way I can relate and in a way I can't. I mean you spent 11 years in school just to drop out with only one more year left. That doesn't sound to cool to me. That's like 11 years for nothing. If you made it this far you might as well got that extra mile. It will be worth it in the long run. All of the other; no one liking you, failing the math section of the FLE and having a learning disability is not good enough reason to give up after having come so far. Just believe in yourself and know that you can do it. Good Luck.
You should have done the best you can to get through 1 more grade, and studied hard for the math section of the FLE, but that really doesn't matter anymore. Just try to get your GED, and do the best you can.
I teach students with learning disabilities...don't give up on yourself. Sign up for adult education classes in your area...they will help you and you can move at a pace that works for you.
My son has a learning disability...he had only one friend in high school and felt very left out of the social activities...he managed to find a few teachers who worked well with him. He graduated and is now in a great college and while he still struggles with some academics, he is doing a great job of hanging in there and feels great about himself.
I guess what I'm saying is that you choose the life you lead...if you cared enough to ask this question, you care enough to
take the steps you need to find success. Sure, it will be hard, but aren't the hardest tasks the most rewarding when you
accomplish them?
Best of luck...you can do it!
yeah. But as my dad said to me at that time; "You'll live to regret that decision" and I thought he's an old man and has no idea of the pain of being a 17 year old in today's world.
That was about 30 years ago. You don't have it any worse than any other 17 year old.
When I was a single mom of three I went back to school and earned my GED. I have always regretted not staying in school for a multitude of reasons, one of which is that even more so nowadays, a GED doesn't get you as far as a diploma. That is, if you earn your GED.
If you relish the thought of being looked down upon by society, and pushing french fries for the next 30 years, you'll be fine. Otherwise, get back in school.
Don't hang out with the dropout crowd. I call them the quicksand crowd, because all they do is pull you down. They like to feel justified in being who they are; losers. lost. aimless. But you don't have to stay where you are. Life is full of choices, but you need to make them.
Have personal accountability about your thoughts, your actions, and your plans. Refuse to allow someone else to steal your hopes and dreams. Spend time with people that are excited, moving places and go-getters. Don't hang out with druggies. Exercise. Volunteer. Pray. Involve your family. Choose to be better than anyone ever said you would be.
Amaze yourself.
People with learning disabilities don't learn the same way as people that don't have them, but it's not an excuse to give up on yourself.
Do yourself a favor and get back in the race, honey.
I feel it was a poor decision, for you seem to go back to that decicion, wanting some kind of support for it. It is not too late to get a GED.
Yes, my son never wanted to continue studying after completing 12 grades in india. He wanted to persue learning DRUMS. We as parents fully supported him and results r positive. So, u got to sit alone n decide what u want from ur life. mind U, dis is da most difficult part of ur decision making. Take a week or more if U can't decide but dis U got to do it on ur own. U may share ur decision wid ur parents n don't worry for their initial negative remarks. Now, U kow what U want n start doing it. College degrees don't do big time good to people. If possible, do read a book called "rich dad, poor dad". Do keep in touch so I can share my experience wid U as a parent wid same type of situational son as U.
You are a freaking retard!!!! so what if you fail math, that's the easiest class ever!!!! and you fell victim to peer pressure, on a scale of 1-10 on the worst to best decision scale.... you get -100 (just so you know, -100 is below zero in case you're too stupid at math to figure that out...)
