How to Drop Out of High School
Dropping out of high school is a very risky decision, and has a high chance of ruining ones
life. But if you are contemplating it there are some things to think about. When I dropped out of high
school I wish someone was there to show me the way. So I have found a way to help my fellow
dropouts. I am here to show you the way! Show you how to drop out of high school! Just make a
plan. That's right! That is all it takes. Take the time to make a genius plan and follow it. But,
although dropping out of high school seems easy and presents a more fun lifestyle, most dropouts
experience the opposite. So in order to become a successful high school dropout, I have came up
with a set of steps and guild lines to help you.
First, talk to your parents. Now, this maybe the hardest to accomplish, but it is also the most
important. They will more likely have rules to follow if you decide to drop out. Listen to them! And
you must have a good and respectable reason as to why you are dropping out. Be honest, as they
always have taught, honesty is the best policy. If you are dropping out because you want to have
more fun and school is getting in the way, then tell them that. I have found this very affective. And if
they still don't understand then just remember, its your life. If you want to jump off a bridge, you
can.
Next; Can you afford to drop out? Especially if your parents kick you out of their home, think
about getting a decent job, but it could be harder than you think. If great jobs were easy to get, than
everyone would have one. But they don't. Even high school and college graduates are either
unemployed or under-employed. But even so, in order to keep up from things like starvation, a
job is a must. Research whats out there, don't be lazy about this or else you might be stuck on a street...
