Should I drop out and get my g.e.d.?
This question has been in my mind for quite some time. A few years ago I would never have thought I would even consider this, but lately it seems like a good option. In general I’d say im smart, but it’s been extremely hard for me to concentrate in school the past 2 years. A lot of stuff has been going on this year, and I just dont feel like being in school is the thing for me.
I have done the research and I know the arguments for and against it, and I think that getting my g.e.d now [im a junior this year.] and just going to college after that would be better for me. Also these past 2 years I havent been the best person because of some of the people I’ve been friends with, I’ve ditched quite a lot, and smoked pot for a long time. I think if I were to leave school and get my g.e.d. It would be a lot easier for me to seperate myself from the lifestyle.
I know getting a g.e.d isn’t easy, and I’ve already found a center, that does the preparation and the testing.
What im most worried about is how to bring it up to my parents, because they dont really see how hard its been for me lately, they always see me as a smart, responsible daughter. And they have this perfet vision of me and I dont want to dissapoint them.
Any advice would be great, thanks :)+
I think getttin your GED is a good idea I dropped out because I got pregnant and go my GED and its the best thing ever
yes I know, my plan was that if I were to drop out, I would go to the preparation classes for the g.e.d and see how that goes, at the same time I would get a part time job. and afterwards I would get my g.e.d sometime in the next few months. then I would go to either a community college or a public university and get a degree.
the reason I’ve been considering this is school creates a lot of stress for me, and I’ve finally just been able to stop some of the bad habits I had. and I think if I stay in school surrounded by the same people, I would not only go back to those habits, but they may get even worse.
and I’ve been thinking about dropping out since the beginning of last year when I was a sophomore and I just ignored it and tried to keep going to school, but everyday I go feels like im walking through quicksand, and its just getting harder and harder, and im not sure how much more I can handle.
and I know those just sound like excuses, and in a way they are. but I honestly dont think I can deal with being in school. I have a plan for my life, and I want to succeed and I know it will be harder without a high school diploma, but I think its the way for me.
Can you give me a little more detail on why continuing school will bring back the “bad habits” you’ve managed to break? I don’t need to know the habits, just your reasoning on why you would fall back into the habits. (I’m betting you can overcome the obstacles.)
I know for a fact you will find it much more difficult to work and go to school. It can be done, but it’s very stressful, especially if you are supporting yourself at the time.
In any event, from your writing, you seem fairly mature and I hope the best for you.
Feel free to fun-mail me if you like.
If possible, hang in there and get your Diploma. A GED is not looked on as favorably as a diploma.
