What advice do you have for students in high school that have decided they are going to dropout?

What if going to high school makes them physically and emotionally ill?





People say school is good for you, but I don't believe thats always the case. It can wear you down both physically and mentally. No wonder why some students choose to drop out. At least they have the option of the GED.What advice do you have for students in high school that have decided they are going to dropout?
Advice: Think it over! High school is another step in the stair of life. Lets put it that way, you need lo climb that stair to reach the top. If you drop out, you can have a lucky strike and be able to work and make a living, even be a millionaire. But it is a risk, and a personal goal. What would you tell your son if he wanted to drop out? Your answer could only be: ';its ok son, i'm a drop out too';. That breaks my heart. Think it over. Please.


Good luck!

Consider OPPORTUNITY-COST.





You give up school now, you will still have to go back and take the course later.





If later, you will be joining those younger than you who'd snicker behind your back for being ';old'; and a ';retard';.





If later, watch your former peers smirking at you for being a ';laggard';.





And you will always ask yourself: ';Why didn't I...?';
I would say get some antidepressants and snap out of it. Sure it can wring you out and beat you down....but that's only if you LET IT. Most kids overwhelm themselves with hard courses, to many extra curricular activities, and join to many clubs. If that's not why you're talking about someone getting ';worn down both physically and mentally'; then they have no reason to suffer. It seams like a load of crap.
You've spent something like a decade in school. You're nearing the end of many years of hard work. The qualification will help you immensely in getting jobs in the future and improving yourself.


So at the VERY END of all of this, after endless money spent on your education by your parents, after all the work your teachers put in to help you, you decide to drop it because you don't like it? They don't say drop-outs are deadbeats for nothing.





It makes you ';physically and mentally ill';? If school, an 8 to 3:30 affair with long breaks does that to you, imagine how horrendous getting an ACTUAL JOB will be. Even university will be too hard!





My advice? Grow a spine!
Don't drop out.. that's really stupid.





My brothers friend dropped out, he hasn't gotten anywhere...





by the way, people in one of my classes are complete a-holes. They are all mostly sophmores and juniors in a class where only freshman are supposed to be, and the teacher was talking about dropping out. And one of the guys just tapped my back and said ';its ok, you'll do good when you drop out'; and ';your gonna fail anyways';





that only happens in that class. I feel like smacking them across the face so they can get a common sence answer and think about where they are sitting right now for failing a stupid little test.





School is good for you. Don't forget about your friends- you won't get anywhere at all without them.
home school
Dont. I dropped out of H.S and have spent the last 10 years working my rear off to be in the same position as those who didnt.





You can pretty much kiss a professional degree of any kind goodbye. Management of any kind is a no no (unless you put in a poop ton of work and earn it from the inside). Anything Technical will take more time because you will need to get extra tech training.





Really, you are destroying any earning potential you have. There are plenty of great studies out there that show with each level of education (HS, AA, BA, MA, PhD, JD, MD) what you will earn over the course of you life sky rockets.





Dont let people fool you, making crapy money your whole life makes life more difficult. From buying a house, cars, taking vacations, eating quality food, wearing cloths you like...money is needed.





Quiting anything is never the option. Perserverance from completeing school will refine a person and make them a better person for it.
