I need some questions answered from anyone who knows.

 

1) Is there anything my parents can do to prevent me from transfering schools? (I'm 16 and American, of course.)

 

2) Since I'm 16 I know I can drop out without consent, but can I take the GED test without consent? (To take the GED test you can't be in highschool)

 

3) Will the average college look down on me if I have a GED and not an actual high school diploma?

not sure about the first 2, but for the thrid one i can tell u right now they will take a high school graduate over a high school equivalent. Your gonna have to go to a community college like Devry where all the immigrants who took the GED test go.

i dont know about the laws in your state but in ny you need your parents consent to drop out but not take the GED, and unless you get a perfect score on the test prepare for a two year community college.

OK.. GED is out of the question then..

 

The only traditional highschool I can go to is stressful as fuck. Although I can handle its work, I'd rather not have to worry about the next 4-8 page essay every god damn second of my life.

 

I want to do independent study at home and have some fucking independence, and although I'm a pretty smart cookie my dad won't let me do it.

 

It's pretty fucked up. He says things like "It's not that we don't trust you, we just can't be there". WTF is that?

 

Or he tells me how independent study isn't how I learn, when he has no fucking idea what type of person I am.

 

Woe is me.

if ur planning do do anything useful in college then ur gonna have to worry about those 4-8 page essays. If u give up on doing work in high school now u think ur gonna wanna do dick all in college? get used to it now cuz college is alot tougher.
I'm already used to it. My point is that I shouldn't have to put up with it while I'm still in high school.
Dude, it's prolly better if you just finish high school. Colleges might have a little more respect for you if you did that instead of chickening out
Oh.. pfft I already HAVE to go to a community college when I get out of HS. I fucked up/got fucked up by counselor/teachers so badly in my first 1.5 years that it's impossible for me to do 2 years of a foreign language (which all 4 years require).

at 16 i dont think you can drop out without parent's agreement..but im not sure due 2 the fact half of the kids in my class and school dropped out half way into the year..

and GeD ..i know 3 kids that are in it and they say its the smartest choice they made..

Drop out, it's the cool thing to do.

I was only concidering dropping out to take the GED, since not being in highschool is a requirement.

 

I don't want to spend another year in a HS that is hard as fuck and full of a bunch of boring, uninteresting people.

 

I'm going to enroll myself in the type of school I want to attend, if possible.

 

My dad told me that as long as I'm under his roof I won't be able to choose how I am educated, so maybe I can find a way to move out and live with a relative. I fucking hate living at home anyway..

 

Sorry for being so angsty.

No, my highschool is hard. It's a charter school... IE they can make up all the gay standards they want. It's a fucking work school. It's the hardest school in the district, possibly the hardest public school in the city/county.
Techno_Warrior']high school is the easyest shit you can do in your life. Now that i'm out I realize how hard life is outside high school. quit being a pussy and finish it.

 

100% agreed.

 

highschool is gay and shit but fucking hell, college is gay^3.

 

assloads of essays about shit you totally dont care about and pseudo-intellectual fucktards all around out.

 

 

best idea. graduate HS. then just get a job and work a while till you decide what you really wanna do

 

i made the mistake of going to college just because i was done with HS and had nothing better to do.

 

i failed out.

 

spent 2 years working shit jobs trying to barely pay rent and shit (parents kicked me out once i failed college) and now im doin alright, but u know what... (sob story here) all i ever really wanted to do was go to flight school... so now im 22, wasted 2 years of college, worked my ass off, and now im going to flight school in august and its fucking m3n.

 

but ill be damned if shit hasnt sucked in the meantime.

 

but yeah ive had a few beers so finish school then sit on ur ass a while and figger out what u wanna do.

 

kthx

 

get me another beer youngin.

the only reason you want to get out of high school is so you can power level past geandily in everquest. :rofl:

I got a 670 overall on the GED and that was good enought to get me into the University of Oregon. My major is chemisty tho... and I got a 790 in the science and math sections. I didnt have the 2 years of a language but they let me just write a letter saying I would take a language within the first 2 years.
i stay stay stick it out the lack of social interaction killed me after i dropped out, i found it hard to make new friends and eben harder to meet girls, only after my second semester in college did i start to get back to my old self

The social interaction at my school is shit.. there's no point for me to want to be at it.

 

My decision is self taught homeschool (independent study)!

 

At least this way I won't have to worry about teacher problems..

i dunno if this will help but this is what i did.

 

i fucked up my first two years of hs due to bad choices and shit. junior year i decided to get my shit together, so i got in independent study, because i cant survive at a normal school especially where i live. independent study was actually fun and easy, and you can work it to where you get 5 credits a week.

 

my teachers told me that even with the pace i was at i wouldnt graduate on time. i heard about this test the California High School Proficency Exam which you can take if your still enrolled in HS. its easier than the GED, and its an equivilant to a HS diploma (ie you can put HS diploma instead of GED on job applications). it only cost $85 and it got me outta a year and a half of HS.

 

im not plannin to go to college, but if you were im sure if you got good SAT scores, colleges could look past your GED or whatever you get and take you for your SAT scores.

 

and just a side note, in CA you cant drop out at 16 :| when i was waiting for the results from the test which took 6 weeks i dropped out, and the school said i must re-enroll because ive not officially graduated and even if im 16 and my parents gave me permission to drop out, that it was illegal :/.

 

hope it helps.
