I'm seriously considering dropping out of high school since the past 3 years.(Now I'm a senior). Its so agonizing having to endure catty snobs and ignorant biased teachers at school. The only thing keeping me in school right now is my personal relationships with some of my teachers. But I'm considering running away, b/c I can't join the Peace Corps yet.

MarinaUlliel, please hang in there -- don't let your enemies make you change your goals! Get your degree and then move on with your life. Your enemies will soon be in your past. Regards...

I'm glad teachers are losing their jobs. Most of them are selfish pricks who do not care about those left behind anyway.

@doulasc I agree with you Doulasc. I went through the same non-sense and stayed back twice in my 12 grade year. Sick and tired of teachers saying that students with LDs are,"lazy," and can't learn. Most of my knowledge came from books in the library and the internet during my time in high-school. F teachers!

School was never meant to be, and will never be the most important thing in life, the most important thing in life is you being a good person!

@Pdariean She gets a boatload of child support and tax deductions.

What about a GED....I think they use that as a "shortcut". I know it's what I'm going to end up doing.

I am a 17 year old drop out. None of my teachers cared about my well being, they never once personally pulled me aside and reached out asking me whats going on.

[eugene680]

I agree, the teachers and principal are just selfish pricks. All they say is more home study, but they are of no help. Since the school board can't fire the teachers for having a failing class, I'll fired them for letting me down. I'll find someone else who can do the job better, someone who cares.

@MetalBassjunkie420 amen to that.
