So I dropped out

I hate you so much right now.

If I actually put it in words I would be perma-banned.

Ignorance is not bliss. Remember that while you're working at McDonalds.

Dropping out of school is a mistake, full stop. You need a diploma to get anywhere good in life. Sure you can get an average job without one but that's not a good plan in life. No diploma means no choice in your life, you have to take what people give you no matter how you feel. These types of jobs means less money than you expect and outrageous amounts of time. I think your friends are right to be negative about dropping out since it is a big mistake.

Though that may be the case in the UK, in the US, getting a GED is almost the same as getting a diploma from graduating high school. It's nowhere near as difficult to advance in a career in the US without a diploma.
 
Listen to t.A.T.u -_____- He knows best~

Oh and in todays economy, I wouldn't even count on working at McDonalds.
 
EpsilonE, you are calling Syrex an emo, yet you are the over emotional idiot who insults everyone and says your friends "turned" on you for telling you the truth, because the truth is life goes nowhere without an education. Even people from the previous generation are all going back to school at the age of 40 and 50 nowadays so they can finish the education they could never finish because of circumstance back in their youth because they want to finish out their lives with significance. I understand how you feel about it because when I was 16 I considered dropping out, and in the end the decision to finish school and then go onto college was the best thing I have ever done. In the current global recession especially, you'd even be lucky to get McDonalds. Fact is, no school = no commitment to employers, and that puts your CV straight in the bin. Insult people as much as you want, but if you can't accept the truth and have to resort to insulting people for pointing out the obvious, then you're hopeless.

Funny thing about dropouts is if they stayed in school another 2yrs or so they would have been smart enough not to drop out. Ironic; funny 'ol world isn't it?!?
 
I'm gonna be neutral on this topic, really.
It's someone's choice to stay in school or not, and it doesn't make them automatically stupid whatsoever and ending up saying the phrase:

"-And would you like fries with that?"

for a living.

The fact that your friends look down upon you for this decision, it looks like you don't really have any true friends.
It's pretty stupid of them to not respect your decision,
and not be your friend anymore because you're dropping out of school.

I've seen people who go through the whole educational process, and as soon as they graduate college, crash and burn and end up with nothing, with them collecting dust in the corner.
I've seen people drop out of school and become wealthy.

You should really be based on who you are and what your talents are,
and not because:
"Oh, look, you have a college degree".

Now I'm not saying education isn't important.
Education is MONUMENTAL important.

I'm just saying if a person feels that's it's unnessesary for them to continue school,
and can make it out in the real world without it, okay then.
Let's see if they're actions take thier course and they actually do have a healthy life.
If a person feels the need to complete thier education, Okay then.

There are really no wrong answers on this quiz.
There are just what comes out of the decision.

And if you ever want to go back to school EpsilonE, because you feel that you need it after all, then you can.
 
If the reason truly is the non-conducive environment your particular school offered as you described it, then it's understandable. Get the G.E.D. and start college a couple years early. :D

If the real reason is that you're an angsty teenager who believes that the school system in general is keeping you back as your posts' tone seems to imply, then I've got nothing to say...good luck finding a job that doesn't make you feel restrained in today's economic landscape.
 
I suggest you reconsider. I mean, I'm pretty sure most of us here are bored with going to school, but yet we still do. Time moves fast, so I'm pretty sure before you realized it, You've already graduated. Besides, after you drop out, what are you going to do? I'm pretty sure your parents wont let you stay at home and watch T.V. all day. Besides, 16 is still too young for you to think about your future, and I don't think you can handle all that pressure from everyone. It's not too late to turn back.
 
Dropping out? Well if you want my opinion, I think its your choice.
If your so called "friends" dissed you for wanting to drop out, than they don't deserve you.
I personally think you shouldn't drop out because, well lets face it, its never the best thing to do. But its not my choice, besides most don't even remember 50% of what they did or accomplish in school.
So if you wanna drop out I say go for it, see how things go for you, but you'll always wonder how your life would have been if you haven't dropped out, and I can assure you you'll regret it your whole life.
 
Yeah, you'll regret it. It's illegal for someone to drop out of school at 16 in my state, but that's beside the point. If you drop out now, do not expect to make much of yourself in life. At least finish high school. And the only colleges that would accept you are probably Community Colleges, if that.

That's all high school is: jumping through hoops. That's what my mom tells me anyway when I start to get angsty. :P

I doubt you're reading this thread anymore anyway. :/

You are an angry sad little person lol

I can't seem to understand why people actually go to the extent to HATE me. I can understand opinions of "You're stupid" and "It was a mistake", but the majority of my school actually deleting me off myspace and facebook, calling me swears and names, pounding desks and yelling, and here on the forums saying you people hate me, and I'm a pathetic loser... Are you people that brainwashed and stupid? That if someone leaves your cult (Oops, I mean "School") that you go completely nads on me?

*sigh*

Look EpsilonE, if your going to flame others that are flaming you, you're pretty much just throwing gasoline and newpaper in the flame war and it'll keep growing and growing until Mr. Mod uses thier super mega water power to douse the flame and infract the feeders of the fire.

You'll be no better than the insults that are being throw upon you.

People have harsh opinions about matters like this, learn to get through them and don't let them get to you.

I understand you're angry, but that's no matter.

I hate stupidity, therefore I hate you right now because you made a stupid decision.

Can I have my McChicken to go?

Hating someone for a decision is pretty low. Are you below the age of double-digits?

And obviously you must be pretty large if you actually eat at McDonalds. I can proudly say in my entire life I have never eaten at a single one.

Haha, now I actually see why you dropped out. You are really that stupid. Wow, congratulations!

I was using it as a metaphor to show that you have a 99.9% chance of never getting a job above minimum wage and anyone with at least 3 brain cells could have decoded that metaphor.

Seriously, why post a thread talking about you dropping out when you know (at least I hope to God that you did realize this before posting) that most people will think you are completely idiotic? Did you expect praise for dropping out?

You should have made a blog about it. Oh wait, you're not a supporter because you don't have and never will have any decent sum of money to donate! YAY!

Also, if I ate at McDonalds I would go into diabetic shock. And no, I didn't eat myself into diabetes, I was born with it. :| Just like my brother and my mother.

You actually just shot the whole thing back against you. You payed money to support a Pokemon forum?






Somewhere across the globe, a kitten just died from that comment.




I can proudly say I donate 30% of my moola I get from allowance and quick ways of cash (Mowing lawns, selling homebaked cookies to neighborhood folk) to my poorer friends, a local church and the rest I save up for a future car. Currently at $200,000+ in my bank account, god rest my grandmothers soul. It's a great headstart though for a decent car and a long time of pay for a small apartment

Because that's enough for the rest of your life genius. That's a short term plan. Not a long term plan. People stay in school and get jobs so they have a long term plan to stay out of poverty and crappy jobs like you are heading to. They don't drop out if they have enough money to support their self for 3 years.

Also you assuming genius, I volunteer 20 hours a week at an animal shelter, 20 dollars towards a Pokemon forum isn't that big of a deal. Not to mention hypocrite. If you're so worried about 20.00 USD that someone donated to a Pokemon forum and that it didn't go towards needy people/animals, why do you have all that money in your bank account just sitting there for no one?

I didnt mention that I keep $700 of it every month under my bed drawer, and give about a little over $50 of it to church every week and $170 to buy stuff for friends, the rest for free spending on me or however I choose.

Chances are you dont work at an animal shelter, you just have rich parents. lol

1. I don't work at an animal shelter. I volunteer.
2. I don't have rich parents, don't assume it makes you look stup...oh yeah, you are.
3. And that money will soon run out. If you didn't drop out you could have gotten a stable job that pays well enough where you could support yourself and your family and still donate. Instead you decided to be a retard and drop out.
