Okay... *sigh*

I'm seriously considering dropping out of school.

This thing that happened last week about the discrimination problem... that was just the last straw. I hate that school with a passion. It's hard to explain how much I hate it, I just do. I can't be myself there, I don't even get a chance to. I have a handful of friends that like me for who I am... and I love them to death for rthat. Which is why this decision is so hard for me. Not to sound conceited, but I know for a fact that I am an open-minded person. And my friends need that. But I can't handle that school anymore or the majority of the students in it. They're just horrible people. Even though I hate the counselor, she hit the nail on the head when she said that we live in a close-minded society. I agree with that whole-heartedly: overall, our community is appallingly close-minded... and I just can't stand it anymore.

I talked to a guy online about getting my GED ( also wanted to add that this guy was an employee of a group dedicated to helping students study for their GED).... And I've been thinking a lot about it.... It sounds like a good option to me.

I get to learn at my own pace. I won't be learning useless things like I do in classrooms, stated in the guy's email. He said that the GED was founded in the idea to help students that realized the school system is ineffective and broken.... Which are my views, at least on my county's school system.

He said that people who take the GED tend to get their GED within 4 to 5 weeks, which would be simply amazing for me.

I was thinking about it, as mentioned, and I figure I can take those 4-5 weeks as something of a vacation. You know, study, but not work. Why not work too? Because in Kentucky, if you drop out, you loose your license until you get your GED. So, I'd study and take the test in 4-5 weeks. When I pass, I would have to finish up my permit option and then go for my intermediates. I would go to work to start saving for college. I would do a night-shift option, and I would be able to work full-time because I wouldn't be attending school, which would mean no restrictions. All of this would be going on while my friends are still stuck in their junior year.

I would save up money... probably for about 2 years. About the time that my friends would be graduating. Maybe 3 years, because that's when my cousin would graduate, and I'm supposed to be living with her then.

Then I would be able to go straight to college while everyone else is still working it off. I would have a nice little nest egg for college funds.

And... I'd just have a better life.

I can't handle that school or the students there anymore. I'm going to snap and turn into an awful "problem child" if I have to stay there for too much longer. I mean "problem child" as in, fights, skipping class, skipping school, failing.... I just couldn't handle it.

But, with the GED thing, I could get that out of the way with a snap of my fingers and be on with my life. I'd get to learn at my own pace. They have payment plans and financial aid... They have teachers you can call if you have problems.... It just.... sounds... perfect for me.

My only setback is convincing my parents to let me drop out. They are going to think that I'm throwing away my life. But I honestly don't believe that. I feel like I'm helping myself. If I have to go through the next two years as a high-schooler, I'd have even less of a chance of getting a job during that time because I'd be part-time. I wouldn't be able to save half as much money because I would have minimum wage. It would take me twice as long to save up for college because my parents are unable to save for college for me because the bank charges to much for savings accounts. I'll also have more time to write, which means I'll be able to send out more books to be published. If I get some published early enough, there will be more money to put away for college.

I understand why my parents would be very iffy about letting me drop out. They just want what's good for me, and they think that's a high school education. Again, I hate to sound conceited, but I am intelligent, and very smart compared to my average classmate in my school. And that's not really saying much because our standards are low. They're afraid that I'd be wasting my intelligence by dropping out, but I'd be putting it to the test by jumping ahead of my fellow classmates. My head has been in the "college game" since I entered my freshman year. I know seniors and graduates from last year who are getting out into the real world and they're like "...woh, popularity doesn't count here. Fuck, I'm screwed!"

So, what do you guys think? I'm very interested in your all's opinions. I'd like to know what you think about me dropping out and getting my GED. I'd also like to hear any tips on how to approach this subject with my parents and how to convince them to agree. I need all the tips I can get. I'm going to get together with a couple good friends that would understand my reasoning, including my bff Kacy, and attempt to come up with strategies to approaching this subject.

Please, even if you don't think it's right for you, help me out. It's right for me, I need this. This school and it's close-mindedness is one of the roots of my mental illnesses. I need to get away and get into the real world, and this is the best way to do it. Please help me out here.

Also, for any future commentors, I'd like to clarify that my mental illnesses mentioned are depression, self-mutilation, and suicidal tendencies. While I study for my GED and work to save for college, I would like to take that time to heal my psychosis so that I'll be able to handle the discrimination that comes about in real life.

I also wanted to add the e-mail the guy sent me so you can see the info I received from him.

People often ask if they can take their GED tests online. You can't get a real GED diploma by taking a test online. The GED is awarded to you by your state and they require the test to be taken at an official test center. The reason is simple, if they allowed the test to be taken online they would have no way of knowing who was actually taking it. Be very careful about schools who offer diplomas with online tests. These are fakes and are not accepted at colleges or by employers.


I'll be your personal GED teacher at the GED Academy. Feel free to give me a call if you need more information. I'd be happy to send you a sample demo of our courses: Free Brochure and Demo <[link]


Good luck with your GED preparation.



Okay, now I know that this will sound morbid, but I'm currently looking for more "victims" for my horror story. If you'd like, I'll base a character off of you and include them in the story. I will add a thank you in the author's notes if/when the story is ever published. If so, I will ask you for your real first name so I can include it in the thank-you's. If you don't want your real name, I'll mention your username. If you are in the story, I'll change your name and possibly looks, but I will still mention you in the dedications!

If you'd like to be in the story, leave me a comment letting me know! By the way, there are 5 books, so I need victims for all of them. Of course, I can make up ones, which is what I'll do unless I randomly get a blue zillion volunteers. But if you want to be featured in them all, let me know!
