Important Life Decisions

Name: Anonymous 2006-12-31 20:47

I'm gonna turn 16 soon (OMG UNDERAGE B&!!!11), at which time, I can legally drop out of high school and/or move out of my Father's house. Should I?

Being a single parent and an alcoholic, my Father isn't too pleasant and I really dislike his company, and he thinks of me only as a financial burden. As for high school... I have been truant for most of my entire schooling since Kindergarten because I'm a sociophobic loser, and I am not motivated to finish it. I'm destined to lead a life of mediocrity either way, 'cause I have no talents, resume, or work/social skills. Like the cliched saying goes- it's not what you know, but who you know.

Also, I do have around $4,900- $400 of it in cash, the rest in short-term CDs which will mature soon, and an extra few thousand dollars in assets which I could easily liquidate. I'm not sure if my Dad would actually let me have all my money; he still has control over my bank account and certificate of deposits because I am a minor. But even without the extra $4,500, that would still be enough to pay for minimal food and shelter for at least a little while until I can find a minimum wage job so that I can support myself.

So... Is this a good idea? Have any of you here dropped out of high school and/or moved out of your parent's house very early? Did it work out well?

No typical 4chan shit, okay? I'm serious and expect serious responses. Replying "SHOOP DA WHOOP" or "Become an hero" is not amusing in the least.

There's more decent jobs out there than you think... though you should at least get a high school degree. If not from a normal high school, then at least some specialty place after you move out. The main thing is sorting out your living location and transportation options... I failed getting a driver's license, lol. My sister has offered to let me move in with her, though... Wins!

Wow I'm a socially inert failure, but at least I still have my intelligence and ambition. I think reading you whine about your life has given me the motivation to see my ambitions through and finally get over the death of my mother. You've made my day. Thanks.

Use the money to move to a real country where it is possible to live for anyone let alone someone in your situation where I guarantee you, it isn't the case here.

  If you are for real. Finish high school then move out. If you don't finish high school you will regret it for the rest of your life or until you do and then you will regret all the time you wasted before you finished high school.

wtf? Im 16 and although everything isnt the way i want it to be, there aint no chance in hell im gonna move out. what exactly do you think you are accomplishing by moving out? just to be away from your dad? Look, you only have 2-3 years left in high school. Doesn't matter if you life sucks in high school. Just finish it and you'll be glad.

Once you have that high school diploma, multiple doors of opportunity will open. Just wait it out and stay strong.
