Scum of the Earth.

High school standards are so low they're basically a participation ribbon. The only way to not graduate is not care at all

Typically got addicted to drugs in a bad way. The majority hardcore among them got back into it and picked up an equivalence degree of some sort.

A few just made it big on their own or in the police-style criminal sector.

I could have dropped out and been fine. Most of high school is a waste of time.

I didn't drop out but i didn't graduate. Not stupid either, 1310 out of 1600 on SAT. I knew everything but didn't do the work. I was a fuck up. One credit short. Signed up for summer school to make it up and then they canceled that course and gave me a correspondence course that would have involved writing something like 80 pages. I didn't do it because I hated school and did not want to go to college.

Graduating class of 2001. I have always just said I graduated, nobody checks up on it. I am not a career oriented person so not worried about it.

Why? Don't need it

Good student, but missed like 120 days senior year because of initial mono and a relapse that almost killed me.

Was supposed to go back the next year to make up the missed credits.

About a week into my second senior year, nope fuck this. Got my GED.

Technically a high school dropout.

I honestly don't think that people who drop out should be allowed to vote. It's a free education, and a degree shows that you have at least a vague idea of what a government is.

I also don't think that people who don't have the motivation to get a proper ID should be allowed to vote, or that people who can't prove they're a citizen of the precinct they're voting in should be allowed to vote.

But that's just me, apparently.

Depends. There are a lot of useful, and well paying skills that you can acquire without normal schooling. Someone who gets a CCNA, for example, can get $75,000/year. Keep going on that track to a CCIE and you are looking at six figures.

I'm one of them. People wonder why kids drop out of high school, I'll tell you why. School is fucking boring and they don't even teach anything.

This is unironically true. I had two friends drop out by basically just stop going. I had another friend who barely went, got ISS all the time as "punishment", which was basically a full days worth of study hall, completed an entire week's worth of work in half a day and spent the rest fucking with the teacher.

And I don't even live around niggers or spics. Purely a white school in rural America. I can't imagine what it's like living in a city.

I dropped out in the 3rd semester of my senior year because as a social retard I couldn't handle working on group projects with a bunch of chads. Basically, i'm the poster child for fucking autism.

I then sat around like a NEET for 2 years until I got my shit together and now i'm attending a silly little community college for poorfags.
I actually enjoyed learning things, I just couldn't handle learning them in school. Murrican education isn't just a meme, they really don't teach you much of anything here. For the last 4 years, you're basically just going along for the ride.

I'm just going to assume that most (white) drop outs are either lazy or socially awkward fucks like me.

My mother had to drop out and get her G.E.D because she went to a majority black school where she was harassed on a daily basis.

Grandma tried to get the faculty to stop it, but the niggers wouldn't help. They couldn't move to another district. It started getting worse and mom was basically forced to drop out.

She immediately went to get her G.E.D. So I think there are cases that are special, but in most cases it's trashy examples of humans who don't care enough to try.

But seriously the quality of education is in a race to the bottom to accomodate low IQ immigrants. If you raise retention of idiots, the wiese ones become unmotivated. One size fits all cannot be applied to education.

I think there are two decent reasons to drop out of hs:

No ambition (ie take up pop's business, get married to rich man ect.)

You have a business plan that you need to carry out NOW and college won't help you. A friend dropped out sophomore year because he knew he wanted to be an artist and now he makes a shit-ton doing that.

>>
>>73182027
I did.

The school wasn't the problem. It was stressful, but I could have handled it. If it wasn't for home being just as stressful. I had really bad parents. My step father was like a borderline sociopath, and on top of that he was an alcoholic. My mother was bipolar, and had the IQ of a child. They both would throw tantrums weekly. My life was constant anxiety and stress. I would frequently get headaches throughout the day, and I didn't even have the luxury of feeling relaxed in my own home.

I played video games a lot to escape it. I usually didn't do any of my homework. I even skipped school on many occasions. Just so that I can sit down and relax somewhere. Whenever I was at school the teachers would berate me in front of the class to no end, and I would get detentions every week or so. My health and hygiene took a nose dive. I just didn't care about anything anymore. I looked like a bum

I would wish that kind of life on no one. I wish I could have had those high school experiences that everyone talks about, but if I had stayed through the whole thing I may have killed myself.

I was worried too, I signed up for some classes only to find them populated by niggers who couldn't comprehend basic math. Needless to say I gave up on that and just took the option to take the test immediately.

Passed it on the first try with hours left in free time. It's as basic as it gets because the test applies to the lowest common denominator just like our schooling system.

Irredeemable retards. I mean, it's so easy to graduate. If you're not completely stupid, you don't even have to try to get good grades.

When I enlisted I was told I would have to join the reserve initially and then get transferred to active duty.

I agreed, remained insistent on my desire to join the Navy, and scored high on the ASVAB. I never went to the reserve and was instead sent right to active duty.

Be committed, be ready to show them how ready you are to go at any time. Study all day for the ASVAB. Once your in DEP do not miss a meeting and learn your ranks and general orders.

As long as they're willing to work, I don't give a shit.

By that time I'm sure they've gotten enough of the 'social skills' aspect that school is also supposed to provide.

I dropped out in 9th grade. I was in gifted programs and shit since elementary school and was among those acknowledged for having the highest FCAT scores (florida) multiple years while I was there, that was the only reason I made it as far as I did.

I had some bad experiences with the school system beginning in Elementary school with bullying and that had alot to do with my ultimate decision to drop out. I saw lots of hypocrisy and had some shitty teachers, they refused to punish the ones who would do violence against me on the bus/at my bus stop because others would group up and testify that I had instigated the confrontations (blacks and latinos primarily)

I became very introverted and stopped participating, eventually they just let me leave. My dad drew me out with them under the impression that I was to begin home schooling of some sort, which I never did.

I have always been an autodidact and prefer to learn by myself and through my own methods. My teen years following had alot of drug use and I did go through some lows.

Ultimately I found a good job though, I just didn't include my education or lack thereof in my interview and they didn't bring it up explicitly. I interviewed very well just by being myself and speaking confidently of my abilities and aspirations and that was all it took.

I do well, I have never nor has my family (single father with 4 kids living on painter's wages) ever accepted assistance. There are alot like me who dropped out and were by no means dumb but just could not cope with a bad public education system.

I don't play video games and don't own a TV, thats been my way for a very long time now. I read or play music in my spare time. I am on my own, renting for now. I consider myself to be doing very well, been with the company for a year now and have been promoted twice, both with pay raises.

I knew I was taking the hard road and I did it anyway. I have never regretted it.

Indians with casinos get at minimum 600 dollars a year to max about 10k. And that's doesn't even count the other free shit they get.
Niggers wish they got those type of gibsdat.

15 or more semester hours to join the Airforce with a GED. You will also likely have to wait for a slot to be open, only 1% of the Airforce can have a GED at any time.

Basically they only want people like >>73184767 who are of above average intelligence.

>I saw lots of hypocrisy and had some shitty teachers, they refused to punish the ones who would do violence against me on the bus/at my bus stop

It's not the teacher's job to stop bullying, it never is. A single bleeding nose/knock out would've saved your faggot ass.

>My teen years following had alot of drug use and I did go through some lows.

lmao, guess weak people are indeed weak.

I think there should be more of them. The kids who don't want to learn and don't want to be there hold back the kids who do.

thats such a vague question really. There are many reasons to drop out of school. Many drop out of school because they realize its an enormous waste of time and you're better off getting your GED and going to college immediately. Some feel that its a waste of time because they've already fucked up consistently enough during all their school years that they just don't see themselves prepared enough for what they're doing since they're missing major gaps in understanding or they're just fucking retarded. Others don't even think it through and drop out cuz lol fuk dat shit. Some even leave school because they'd rather do labor all their lives and work on getting an apprenticeship in a profession.

I think people have their reasons and will usually turn out okay if not corrupted by degeneracy. Those who have been corrupted usually fail hard. This goes for both dropouts and students. Most people who don't fall for degeneracy will find their way in life eventually and work towards a better future.

My friend dropped highschool at the age of 16 and went for a trade.

It was the best decision in his entire life.
