school help: I’m 17 and I hate school. - Help.com

You could always go for your GED.

I split from high school, so I can’t say “well stay in” I think you should split, get your GED or go to night school some places even have real diplomas. School isn’t the same how it used to be. It’l be less stress that way, trust me I’ve done it, I’m 19, drop out and its fine. Don’t let people tell you life sucks if you don’t finish school. Not true-Kay? be happy don’t stress

I dropped out of school my junior year of high school because credit wise I was freshman. There was no way I would ever graduate with my class. Like you I have very little self-discipline and I spent most of my time ditching school. To take the GED you have to be at least 18. At the time I was only 17 so I found out that there was a test called California High School Proficiency Exam (CHPE). It’s like the GED and is a diploma equivalent. It was pretty easy. It consisted of some math multiple choice, some english multiple choice and an essay. There was a book I bought to study for it which gives you three practice tests. I don’t know where you live but maybe there is something offered like that where you are. You can find out through your school. I ended up graduating a year earlier than my class.
