I dropped out because I couldn't handle how depressed the people there made me and I had some other issues. Honestly I don't regret it. I got my GED and worked a lot. Sure I had to work my way up but I now have an awesome stable salary paying Job at an insurance brokerage. Honestly, if you do drop out at least get your GED. It's the same as a diploma no matter what anyone tells you. You can still go to college whenever you want. You can still pursue your dreams.

Just end up with a diploma or GED at the end. You will Thank yourself down the road.
