High School Dropout

I think it is SO STUPID that so many people are dropping out of high school. It's not hard to go to school. Normally if you just go and sit there you can get a passing grade. Yeah, school is boring over half of the time, but it's a requirement that helps ensure a better future. Just having a high school diploma helps you get a job. Also, high school is not that time consuming. For most students it's from 8 A.M. to 2:45 P.M. That isn't that long. You are also assured to never have to go on the weekends, we get many holiday breaks, summer breaks, and half days. It's really not that hard. If you just dropout and get a job there are chances you have to work on the weekends, you won't be paid that much, and you don't get all of those breaks. It's a lot harder to drop out than it is to go to school.

I have talked to a few people that have dropped out, and they have actually told me they regret dropping out because now they have to work harder to get a good job and school was actually easier than they thought. Surprisingly, they have actually advised me to go to school everyday and pass my classes and stay in school as long as possible. Their reason they told me to do this is because they wish they would have stayed in school. They also said it was a mistake to drop out because it forced them to grow up a lot faster than they had to.
